I thought it would be a good idea to keep a timeline of major actions of new GM Mike Elias in one thread for quick viewing. I will sticky this and we'll put the moves with dates so we can look at time

It's a huge hill to climb but moving on to Elias has been great. Time will tell if the org can catch up with the likes of the Yankees, but at least it's moving forward and not stuck in neutral.

Another MiLB hire from the lower college ranks, this time DII.

If you look at his twitter feed, you can see he values the use of technology in coaching. 

I love this. I think this is like 3 or 4 hires like this? They did a lot of this in Houston. Highly underrated moves that will help remake and refresh the farm system with youth and new school coaching.

If Elias and the org was really going cheap, why spend money and worry about the Dominican facilities and the players there??????

I think the cheap is on the MLB portion of the enterprise. I don't think they will go cheap on any of the other aspects.

Here's a short interview I ran across with Peter Gammons from Sunday. Mike doesn't really say anything new but it's interesting. Don't know if it'll link right...

You’re right, nothing much new there, but the guy just exudes competence.

One paragraph from Roch yesterday afternoon. I don't know if this rates upgrading the OP but it's progress nonetheless.

 

* The Orioles also were busy today back in Baltimore, hiring Michael Weis as a new data analyst for assistant general manager Sig Mejdal. Weis has a master’s degree in business analytics and an undergraduate in math. He possesses four years of experience as a data analyst in predictive analytics in multiple fields.

More analytics hires are coming later this month.

I hate using the word cheap. I think they are not going to just waste money on a team of youth they are building up.

I suspect as the team improves over the next year or two, you will see them spend money again, for now, unless you have a stud with more than 3 years of life left in them. :)

I believe they will spend in mlb payroll the absolute minimum they can without giving away actual young talent. Not 28 year olds mind you. 22 year olds. For the next couple seasons.

I like it. No baseball experience at all.

      Bullpen 2024

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Whether it is Juan Soto, Corey Seager or Yordan Alvarez, I think building a pen for the AL playoffs the Cionel guy will win tiebreaks over the Baumann guy this early. I hope they really get crowded out with multiple strong performers but if July only brings 1 fancy thing, Cionel and Coulombe can start preparing. If the big 3 starters hold together, even Means and Irvin get smushed to that role.

      I wasn't even thinking of you, you little piece of trash.  You're insignificant on this board.  Nobody thinks about you or cares what you have to say.   I was referring to Sports Guys little laughing emoticon on the OP, which is passive aggressive, and I thought funny, because the OP was objectively accurate. GFY.

      Hyde is saying it will be a six man rotation soon so arguably Irvin doesn't count. DFA Perez would have made it 5/2 among the "permanent" bullpen guys. Plus Perez has stretches when he is lights out. If he finds it at the right time he could be a weapon in October.

      Apparently, Cionel’s dad hasn’t entered Roy’s inner buddy circle.

      While Adley is a valid data point, he had extenuating circumstances, and I still think Gunnar doesn't really qualify.  If you shifted Gunnar's stats from August/September 2022 to April 2023 and shifted the rest of his stats forward, then his slump would look like any old midseason slump.  A lot of players go through months where they OPS less than .700.  A lot of starters, especially shortstops struggle to have months where they OPS more than .700.  It doesn't seem noteworthy or indicative of rookie lumps.  If you combine his September 2022 stats with his April 2023 stats he was still an above-average hitter playing good defense at a premium defensive position.  Even during his slump, he was an overall average-player because of his position and defense, and he was 21.  A guy who I would more associate with rookie lumps would be Anthony Volpe; Gunnar's wRC+ in April was better than Volpe's full-season wRC+.

      Keith Law has O's taking Tommy White at #22 in latest mock draft

      By RZNJ · Posted

      I’d say that would surprise me for a few  reasons.  First, it sounds like he’s already low in the defensive spectrum.  Sure, we can think of 1 first rounder (Kjerstad) who fit that bill but only 1.   Second, Law said White tends to chase out of the zone.  The O’s are very big on chase rates.   Third, I believe he’s a RH hitter.   Strike 3.

      Meh, I think they’re both pretty replaceable but still trust Perez more. Since the beginning of last year, Perez has a 3.82 ERA, 3.80 FIP, 4.53 xFIP, and has been worth 0.5 WAR in 61.1 innings. Baumann has a 3.69 ERA, 4.41 FIP, 4.77 xFIP, and has been worth 0 WAR in 83 innings.  I do agree that Baumann being able to go multiple innings is beneficial, but it seemed like half the time they wanted to use him for multiple innings, he couldn’t throw strikes and then his outing ended early. Cionel’s 2022-2023 numbers definitely saved him (2.43 ERA), but he could easily be the next guy dropped from the BP.
