Orioles trade with Giants....Again

[Legend_Of_Joey]

Yaz was most likely going to be on the bench in Norfolk or Bowie anyway with all the outfielders the Orioles have. Maybe he will get a chance in San Fran.

No idea who Tyler Herb is. Waiting on @Luke-OH awesome write up.

Hope Wildcard handles this ok.

He better have an amazing spin rate or something.

I think this shows just how highly regarded Yaz is by other teams.

Or how eager Elias was to toss him.

So, who wants to call in on the first @wildcard welfare check?

Not my area of expertise.

Condolences to wildcard.    Good break for Yaz because he was going to either struggle for playing time or end up in AA.   Can’t say that Herb looks like a nugget but maybe he’s got a good spin rate. 

Edit — I see the wildcard and spin rate remarks weren’t exactly original.

Herb had a pretty good 2017 in AA before struggling in AAA last year.

Wouldnt surprise me if they liked something about Herb. He's a starter for one, but the O's have plenty of options in AAA.

Good return for Yaz.   Herb was the Giant 15th prospect one year ago according to John Sickels   Yaz had too many outfielders pass him this spring in the O's organization.

15) Tyler Herb, RHP, Grade C+: Age 25, 29^th round pick from Coastal Carolina by the Seattle Mariners in 2014, traded to Giants last summer for Chris Heston; very good year in Double-A, 3.09 ERA in 163 innings with 136/48 K/BB, 158 hits; inning-eater type with 89-92 sinker, average curve, slider, change-up; nothing spectacular but it adds up into something good due to his pitching instincts and command; projects as useful four/five starter or long reliever, similar to Chris Heston five years ago; ETA 2018.

A projected 5th starter.  He should fit right in with the O's.  He was on the Giants 40 man roster but was outrighted and is now on a minor league contract.

Giants outfield is in shambles. They added Parra to the MLB roster today.

I don’t know much on the guy, from what I’ve been able find he’s a low 90s sinker, slider, change guy who had been good at getting GBs until last season.

This is more about the OF glut you mentioned than Herb in all likelihood.

They are going for it!

I wish them luck.

 

I expect to seem them in club tank in a season or two.
