I’ve watched a guy who has no defense behind him pitch well in the AL East at a limited financial burden. 

We give away 1st for Ubaldo and Gallardo and gifted arms who have succeeded in the AL East away for nearly nothing. In all likelihood we will net somewhere around a cumulative zero WAR from our ATL haul. 

 

Again, FIP worse than ERA. The O's defense and Gausman's lack of progress as a starter aren't as entwined as you're making them out to be.

Doesn't look like anyone was willing to do that.  I don't know how many teams ate salaries of undesirable players in order to get a stud prospect back this year.  Of all the trades I've read about, I can't think of one where a Davis/Trumbo type went along with an A+ prospect.  I think what you've outlined is more of a message board wet dream than what actually happens in reality.  

I have absolutely no point what you're making here? 

1.  Most teams that would need to get Davis' contract off the books, aren't dumb enough to sign him to that contract, so it's not on the books.  Most teams capable of signing Davis, aren't sending his contract to you with prospects, because they don't need you to take on his contract.  Think the Phillies with Howard.  They never would have dumped his salary on anybody for prospects, because they could afford to keep it on the books if that meant they got to keep their prospects.  

2.  What does any of this have to do with the Orioles dumping O'Day's salary at the expense of prospects?  Can you point to me teams that go into prospect rebuild mode and dump salary at the expense of prospects?

Gausman is Scott Erickson.  I liked Scott Erickson. But not enough to cry over him.

Read the scouting reports on the guys they got from the Braves. They're not blue chippers, but they all seem like projectable major leaguers. 

We saved a little money and got the Volvo instead of the Porsche. But there's a shiny new Cuban Lambo parked in a garage in the DR that we suddenly have money to afford....

Ok, you're talking about trading for teams stud prospects by taking on bad contracts in return, correct?

The more I look at it the more I think the Brewers trade was great. 

Carmona is a stud SS. 

Ortiz was a former 1st round pick that has 4 pitches. Already in AA. 

Villar has been worth 1.8 WAR this year. Even before the trades he’d be our 2nd best player WAR wise. 

Three weeks ago this would’ve been laughed at. Schoop is a decent upgrade over Villar but we get Villar through 2021.

I honestly don't understand the Gausman trade. None of these guys are top prospects for Atlanta. We save $9 million or so with O'Day but I don't get why we wouldn't just hold onto Gasuman until the offseason if that is the best we could get.

 

The Schoop trade seems reasonable.

This is about right. Almost everyone on here overvalued these two especially Gausman. His FIP has been lower than his ERA two years in a row now. He had a 1.50 WHIP last year which wayy below average and downright horrible for a starting pitcher. This year, it's closing in on 1.40. He has been a different pitcher overall these last two years. Maybe he finds it again once he gets out of this mess in Baltimore, but most folks on here were expecting way too much.

When you look at the returns for rental Players Manny and Britton this is crazy.  Why would you trade this low?

      Extend Burnes

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Notwithstanding age and position, I think I'm still on Team Adley for priority 1. One of the management talking points is around avoiding the risk of "creating complacency" when a ballplayer good enough to rate it gets their forever fortune. I think the other side of that being too stingy is "creating resentment" in your labor force. Burnes is an interesting cat as he's taken some actions that real world illustrate how created resentment looks in the cliches only constrained world of ballplayers and clubs interacting with media. I think Elias/Sig modeling a healthy respect for the opportunity Burnes has just about earned himself might help even if they know today their recommendation to ownership is an aggressive chase that already has the green light.     Information how Burnes fares the next 4-5 months is valuable, especially how his stuff plays against the best of the best once he's 30.     Fun fact ALCS Game 7 could fall 10.22.2024 precisely on Burnes' 30th birthday.

      Is Rich Hill an option? I believe he was looking to sign with someone mid year. Would we consider him?

      Norby and Vespi coming up?

      By Frobby · Posted

      They bring them up because we need to have guys on the bench available to pinch hit, pinch run, substitute for injured players, or give somebody a rest.   It's not a matter of not believing in them.  Some will get chances to start and some won't.   Just because a guy is starting every day in AAA doesn't mean he should get a chance to start every day (or even most to the time) in the majors.

      By Frobby · Posted

      My source for the dates of the options is the Orioles.com transactions page.  I'm going to retract what I said about the 20 day rule, as I had misremembered it.  What it actually says is:  "If a Player is optionally assigned for a total of less than 20 days in one championship season, the Player shall be credited with Major League service during the period of such optional assignment(s); provided, however, that a Player shall not be credited with Major League service under this provision if the Player had zero days of Major League serv ice in the current season prior to the optional assignment and after the optional assignment was unconditionally released or assigned outright and not subsequently added to the Active List for the remainder of the championship season." So forget what I said about that.  Now, what I am not sure about is whether Vespi's recall to be the 27th man in St. Louis due to the suspended game counts towards his option total.   The answer to that isn't found in the CBA, but in a document called "Major League Rules" that used to be public, but apparently no longer is.   I am not talking about the document that describes the rules of play, but another document that contains, for example, the details of the "Rule 4 draft" and the "Rule 5 draft."

      How many RBI's has batting leadoff cost Gunnar?

      By now · Posted

      And is it fair to say 10-15 runs equates to about 1 to 1.5 wins? (Again, that's in a worst-order scenario.)

      Extend Burnes

      By foxfield · Posted

      It’s a definite probable no for me. I don’t say that to split hairs.  So let me explain.    There is no way that the Orioles come out on an investment like the one it will take to extend Burnes. But would I, given his age and the likelihood of injury?  No.    Unless….I was prepared to spend twice that or more to land another pitcher on top of Burnes. The idea being if you’re in you’re in.    I cannot speak to the finances of the new ownership but the only way I would purchase someone like Burnes would be to buy 2 in hopes of having one. While still knowing the advantage if you have both and the risks of both are hurt.    Could the Orioles afford $600M? I don’t know.  Should any team?  No. But we live in a world where the Dodgers are spending Billions.
