Severino should get a full 1 WAR for tonight's game.

I think some of the reasons Jammer loves Severino are the same reasons why I also loved Melvin Mora. In 2003 when he briefly held the lead for batting average it felt like the first great moment

Both Sucre and Severino are defense first catchers...I think it shows what the O’s value. It’s unfortunate for Sisco but this is a hard team to play for if you’re not a great catcher considering DH and 1B are atrociously backlogged.

I hate this move on so many levels.

First, the catching situation:

- They claim someone with no options who is good at defense, but doesn't hit. Why?

- if Sisco goes to Norfolk, you now have 2 catchers with good defense and no offense.

- If you carry all 3, you screw your bench over.

- If Wynns is healthy, play him and Sisco. You need to see what you have.

- You make this move after telling Sucre not to opt out yesterday. Good job....

- Severino comes in with only a few days to go and to learn the pitchers. The same situation they threw Sucre into and gave him time in the Minor League camp, simulated games, bullpen sessions, ect to learn in 2 weeks. 

 

Now, for the DFA:

- What compromising pictures does Hanser Alberto have to stay on the team? Cut him already. Go with the younger guy you can work on.

This move is puzzling and leads to a lot of questions.

I know he isn't ready yet, hence why I said "if he is healthy." Yesterday was Sucre's deadline.

Just because Severino is here doesn’t mean he won’t get DFA’d. I don’t imagine there are many other teams who would take him on right now.

This seemed like a "claim him just because" move, which seems stupid to do. Severino does not make any part of this roster better.

That's what I was thinking.  I don't see Sisco being in danger because of this move.  Perhaps Sucre's spot is in jeopardy if they end up liking Severino more, but most likely you pass him through waivers and stash him at Triple A and release one of the other catchers in Norfolk.

My thoughts exactly, Elias likes the kid values his Defense realizes that there is a good chance  he would go unclaimed and we outright to the minors. I’d rather have his arm and defense than Stevie Wilkerson.  Dfa cat and mouse game has started.

Severino has Sucre skills only 6 years younger.

Maybe Sucre assumed he'd made the team so he didn't exercise his opt out yesterday. He now goes to Norfolk until his next opt out date (I believe that's in May). 

Severino is a  full five years younger than Sucre. Perhaps that means something.

Wonder what kind of input Cossins had on this move.

      What is your takeaway from the Yankees series?

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      Just to add something that hasn't been discussed, their infield defense was awful. I don't think that is the norm for them, especially Volpe. I expect Judge and the defense to be better the next time we face them.

      Basallo for Miller y/n?

      By DrungoHazewood · Posted

      Yes, but what five years, as it's more-or-less inevitable that he'll be out roughly 18 months for UCL surgery. And perhaps a 2nd after that. What is are TJ surgery odds in any given season for someone that touches 102? 25%? 33%? Basallo has a fair shot at getting 8,000, 10,000 or more MLB plate appearances. Miller might not face 2000 batters before his arm is wrecked.

      That's fair - it was competitive and I was never relaxed during this series until we went up big on Rodon. For me at least, a lot of the nail-biting was about pitching questions, and we managed to dodge a few bullets there: -Grayson bounced back from his rough start to pitch well, despite going on the IL later. -Bradish came back and looked entirely like Bradish.  -Pitching a man (and a closer) short in the bullpen didn't hurt us as the lesser guys like Akin, Webb, and Baumann stepped up well.

      I think if things come together for the Yankees, they're close to, but not equal to, us. That's because they should have 2 HOFers in the middle of their order and one at the top of their rotation, plus a better bullpen. But we have deep depth. By September, 1-9 in the order should be a real threat to opposing teams. Burns, Bradish and Rodriguez as a top 3 can compete with anyone. Plus defense in most positions. I'd still take us, but my head isn't in the sand about how good things could be for them if things come together instead of fall apart.

      Everyone bit their nails for 4 days and now that we've come out on top 3-1 we shouldn't pretend like this series and the Yankees weren't competitive.

      Basallo for Miller y/n?

      By LookinUp · Posted

      I agree that Miller would cost a lot in a trade. I also see his arm as a ticking time bomb. I don't agree that Basallo is anywhere near on the table for him. Based on that article posted earlier in this thread, guys I could see being interesting would include: Position Players: Bradfield, Horvath, Beavers, Fabian, Etzel, Willems, Tavera, Sosa, Liranzo, Arias, etc. Pitchers: a sweetener/headliner could include Bright, DeLeon, Weston, Chace, Sharkey (many here depending on the role in the trade) The point is that you could still put together a very attractive package for a team targeting 3+ years from now to win without including Basallo or any of our AAA guys.

      What was going on with him staring down Kremer on the HR? I've rarely if ever seen that, but then I dont exactly watch much baseball outside of the O's. It was a pretty in your face moment. Maybe Kremer brushed him back on some previous pitch I missed.
