My prediction is that not a single player coming back to us from Atlanta is able to break the top 20. 

So a guy that was in the best organization in baseball ranked 14th in it will now not be in the top 20 in our slightly above average system.  How does that work.

What? Lol.

JCE and Cumberland def are.

I would include JCE in our top 25; but not top 20.  Cumberland... about 30.  Zimmerman might be a pleasant surprise - being a lefty starter who dominated high A.  It'll be interesting to see how he does in Bowie. 

I'll agree with those who say if the Atlanta trade nets us VVM, that could make a big difference in how we evaluate the Atl trade, and there's hope in Carmona that he could make a difference in the Schoop trade.  But we pretty much have to depend on those 2 things happening to make today a good day for the future of the O's.

If O’Day was the last piece to this deal, then yes.    

Right, it could have gone that way with the O's saying they are not happy with the offer, the Braves saying its final as far as prospects are concerned and the O's ask if they would eat some salary for us in the form of O'day to complete the deal.

The age/upside mix of this portfolio does kind of get me to - is the next core Carmona/Encarnacion/VVM/2019 pick 1-1?

Is there even a Sisco/Mullins/Mountcastle/Diaz good team, or will their best years go by while we're sorting out which of the minor league pitchers are any good?

You will see them put way higher.

JCE was 14 in a loaded Braves system.

Also, we got a guy who is described as having one of the highest ceilings in the Braves farm system. Given that they have a bevy of TOR arms and All-star caliber players, that is high praise. We have solid depth, now we need to look for star power. Encarnacion meets that criteria. I believe @Luke-OH was discussing the need for ceiling over floor in these trades, we went that route with Ortiz, Carmona, Encarnacion.

Then you hold off and trade him after the season. I said all along they should trade Gausman and Schoop IF they get the right offer. It wasn't a Machado / Britton situation where they had to be traded now. 

I don’t think the Orioles forced the trade with the Brewers.

So I missed all of the fun driving to the shore.

 

Anybody questioning the Orioles front office now is nuts. I think it's obvious that we are committed to a full rebuild.

Looking at the deals 

 

Gausman and ODay and 2.5 million slot moneyfor #14 Encarcion #30 Cumberland, RP Phillips, and SP Zimmerman. On the surface it's a pretty good deal. I would've liked to get somebody in their top ten. Encarcion looks promising, the MLB scouting call Cumberland a bat first catching prospect with decent enough defense to stick at catcher. However they rate is bat and power at 45 each. Not really impressed with that piece. Phillips is ready now to pitch in the pen. Not sure I like it either. Zimmerman is 23 at AA after spending the 1st half at class A+. His K/BB to ip looks solid as does his era. The 2.5 in slot money is a bid deal if we are getting Mesa at all costs. I like dumping ODay but think we could've moved himfor value later and got better value. (Don't love it but don't hate it either)

Schoop for Ortiz #7, Carmona #14, and Villar who is a utility type that they can plug in now in place of Schoop. A solid deal but I'd rather have gotten a third player deeper in he minors and called up Tejada to play 2nd. (Really like the minor league pieces,but feel like we wasted some return on Villar)

It's a valid question, but I think MLB.com rated him too highly considering his terrible SO & W rates in the SALLY League, but he does have long-range potential and defintely passes the eye test.  He's toolsy.

His horrible K/BB ratio at such a low level will concern Luke IMO.  Also, reports are that he is going to have to move off SS.  He probably lands in the 15-20 range.  I was being a little sensational.  I expect the other three to be outside the top 20.

.313 OBP this year in A ball on top 13 BB/100 Ks .. what's not to love.

Man, are you being intentionally obtuse?  It's really not that hard to understand what he's saying.  No O'Day in deal = better prospect return.  Better prospect return = faster and better rebuild.  Faster and better rebuild = return to winning faster.  Having O'Day on the team next year wouldn't have made us better or worse.  You just let him play out his deal like Trumbo and then move on.

      First, Schmidt is having a better year than Cole. Second, the O's teed off Ragans and Lugo last time they faced them.

      Elias needs to use better judgement when he dumpster dives, prepare better for the high percentage chance that his dumpster diving pickups will fail, and increase usage of other means to get pieces. Bullpen usage is another problem, but it’s hard to effectively juggle flaming torches. A wrong move burns badly

      DH - O'Hearn v. Kjerstad

      By e16bball · Posted

      I can see the case for Mountcastle based on defense alone, but what has Kjerstad done to warrant that kind of treatment? Is it the .505 OPS he’s put up since coming back? The overall .438 ML OPS since getting hit in the head? I’m as bummed as anyone that his season got derailed, but if you’re talking about where they are right now — he’s not your huckleberry. As for O’Hearn, he’s 8 for his last 23 (.348), with 3 doubles. That feels a little like the “getting himself together” that you referenced. He had an awful month-long slump, but he also has an extended track record (over 1.5 seasons) of excelling in the role he’s now back in, as the platoon LH 1B/DH guy. He had a 125 wRC+ in those 750 PAs as an Oriole until 8/20, which is roughly when Mountcastle went out.  I’d be good with Kjerstad DHing against LH starters, because there’s good reason to think he hits them better than O’Hearn. And if they want to play both O’Hearn and Kjerstad against some RHPs, in order to set up the potential of Mountcastle coming in to PH against a lefty reliever, I’m down for that too. But the primary alignment is going to (and should) be the Mountcastle/O’Hearn duo we’ve gotten accustomed to seeing.

      By Moose Milligan · Posted

      The Achilles heel for this team is going to be the unit that doesn't step up in the postseason. I can easily see scenarios where: the bullpen is hot and provides good performances but the offense sputters and isn't clutch the offense comes up big but the bullpen blows games late starting pitching tosses some clunkers (not really likely with Burnes and Eflin) and they can't recover the defense sucks and gives opponents extra outs to work with, blowing games open when the bullpen or SP would have been able to escape and continue We've seen all of these units falter at one point or another during this season.  We've also seen all of these units perform very well at different times throughout the season.  So, we'll see what turns out to be the Achilles heel for the Orioles in the playoffs starting next week.

      I agree I missed the mark on a correct forum, and ask a moderator to please relocate to Rants as that game annoyed me yesterday. I appreciate the strong moderators here and know I'm not one of them.     Sorry for making it worse at a tough moment.    I won't bump it again, even ironically if we kick their butts in the playoffs.

      Nail hit on head. It really comes down to the offense in the playoffs for us. I think our pitching is good enough overall especially the starters. Shaky sometimes sure, but they can hold their own most of the time. If we don't bring our "A" hitting game in the playoffs we won't go far.

      By dtk9119 · Posted

      The bullpen has warts for sure, but if this offense doesn't figure out how to hit good pitching in the playoffs, the bullpen won't matter. Even I got a little excited when they put 5 and 9 up on the board Tues and Wed, and then it crashed back to reality last night when I remembered they were facing Schmidt and Stroman. When facing a real ace like Cole they were completely shut down. What's gonna happen next week when they face Skubal, Reagins, and/or Lugo? The mediocre bullpen won't matter if they can't figure out how to score some runs off pitchers like that...
