Dean Kremer 2019


Frobby

Recommended Posts

Dean Kremer finally made his MiL debut for 2019 after missing the first five weeks of play with an oblique injury.    Starting at Frederick, he tossed 3.2 shutout innings, allowing 4 hits and 2 walks and striking out 5.    He wasn’t too efficient, 79 pitches in 3.2 IP, but we’ll take it for a belated season debut.    

I wonder if they’ll keep him at Frederick for now, or bump him back to Bowie, where he finished last year.    And, whether he’s ultimately headed to Norfolk.

Bowie needs all the help they can get so I would assume he probably will be heading there very shortly.

You don't assign prospects based on which team is struggling. You assign them to whichever level is best for that player's development. I think Kremer will end up in Bowie since that's where he was last year, but not because they're desperate to improve the team's record.

Kremer’s second start was impressive, 6 shutout innings on 2 hits and 2 walks, striking out 9.    He threw 83 pitches, 58 for strikes.   Probably time to move him either back to Bowie or up to Norfolk.   

4 pop ups as well, I would have loved to be at that game, apparently Daniel Lynch (2018 draft pick for the Royals, LHP from UVA ) was sitting 95-96 and also was quite impressive.

Yeah, I'd imagine if his arm strength is where it was last year that he'll get moved up. It's pretty clear he's having the success expected at that level.

I know it's no sure thing, but I can't help mentally penciling in 3 of our 5 rotation spots on Opening Day 2022 with these guys.

Maybe Lowther and Baumann to round out the group, or possibly Akin and Knight.

Gray Rod, Hall, Kremer, Lowther, Baumann, Knight and Akin. And John Means is in that conversation now too. It gives us the possibility of having a strong, home-grown staff.

I think it's also worth noting that Bundy, Gausman, Davies and E. Rodriguez wouldn't have been a bad home-grown staff, particularly if they hit anything close to their upsides. So we have to hope for few setbacks. The good news is I think it's quite unlikely that we go trading away our pitchers this time around. Elias will be adding to this inventory, and hopefully developing them better than we have in the past.

    • We tried to get Cease from them at the deadline, and then in the offseason. Cease was much less complicated because he didn’t have innings issues and hadn’t been a reliever.  Now we have to make a trade with them with the complications of Crochet and expect not to trade one of Basallo, Mayo, and Holliday, plus.  Yeah, that ain’t happening. Stick to the rentals of Scherzer and Kikuchi. I know it’s taboo to say this, but once you get passed those two SP, who really is that much better than Suarez?  Suarez has only given up 3 HR all year and has a 2.50 ERA. 
    • Not really. What SP are you taking off for him?   It seems like our guys reached some theoretical milestones of being an all star but they did a 2-3 deep at each position. Picked the players based solely on that position and not versus the entire position group. For Ex. It was DH v DH. 2B v 2B. COF v COF.  The only gripes are possibly, Westburg vs Peredes but the one player from each team rule.  Santander vs OF but they need guys that can play CF.  Kimbrel vs Holmes maybe here but Kimbrel getting demoted and not spreading out his rough outings affected perception.  Do they still do the last player in vote?  If so, Santa and Westburg could be on the ballot?
    • Well the NFL Rams franchise deserves some mention as they started in Cleveland in 1937, moved to LA in 1946, moved to St. Louis in 1995 and back to LA in 2016.  Fascinating that in each stop they have won a season’s ultimate prize (either NFL championship or Super Bowl)! To add some extra spice to the Rams franchise history they were involved with the Baltimore Colts in what was the largest trade of all time as described here. https://www.nfl.com/news/sidelines/digging-into-the-colts-and-rams-1972-franchise-swap-was-the-greatest-biggest-tra
    • I still say crochet isn’t traded. It makes sense for Chicago to trade him but they could still get a ton for him in the offseason or at the deadline next year if things go right. I do not feel his value is at its peak right now BUT his value does risk to take a huge drop if they don’t trade him. It’s not an easy spot to be in for anyone involved in this decision.  
    • I don’t think many/any want or are eager to get rid of any of our very talented young players/prospects. However, I for one, am even less eager to see us roll with the pitching staff as is. The question/dilemma is what is the right amount of talent to acquire this year (and potentially beyond given the state of the rotation) to give us the best shot possible to be successful in October? And how to we balance that against our future potential/possibilities that some of the young players provide. It’s a very precarious position that Elias is in. We all hope that he makes great decisions that lead to both success now and in the future. But I get where you are coming from Kjerstad seems to have an elite power tool as the ball seems to really carry off of his bat.
    • I’m disappointed more O’s didn’t get in, but it’s hardly the biggest travesty in all star history, so, shrug. Jim Palmer mentioned on the broadcast that he didn’t make the All Star team two of the three times he won the Cy Young.
