It's ridiculous because of everything you pointed out, but it's also ridiculous because he didn't get "shelled." He gave up 3 in the first and 1 in the 5th. Nobody had any reports on what happened in the first, but getting hit in the first is common. Having it happen to a guy who's just back from rehab can't be surprising.

Rather than hyperventilating over every start, I say we give the kid 5 minutes to get his legs under him and start his thing again. Tony/Luke listed him as our #3 prospect last year. That's high praise and they know much more than the aforementioned poster.

Agreed.  I think Kremer will be just fine.  The K numbers are there for sure.  I am hoping he is a mid-rotation starter when the Orioles' rebuild has hopefully paid off.

Sorry, but this is such a ridiculous post.  It has been 10 months since the Orioles traded Machado, Gausman, and Britton.  By many accounts, Kremer has looked good, looked good last year, and has had two poor starts in Bowie after missing most of Spring Training.

 As Drungo pointed out in another thread, your obsession with being contrarian is growing tired.  

 It is absurd to suggest that the Orioles got nothing in their trade of TEN MONTHS after the trades happened. ABSURD.

Run down the players and none of them have had success this year other than Pop who is having Tommy John surgery I believe.  Dillon Tate has a 6.75 ERA in AA.  Diaz has been awful since he got here. Valera released.   Encarncion .576 OPS in low A.  Brett Cumberland 24 and .673 OPS at Bowie. Evan Phillips 10 era in the majors.  Cody Carroll 26 hasn't pitched this year after getting hammered last year. Josh Rodgers 10 ERA at Norfolk. Ortiz 7.26 ERA at Norfolk.  Carmona hasn't played this year.  

On the good side Bannon .738 OPS at Bowie but has been struggling of late.  Bannon ceiling is utility infielder according to mlb.com. Zimmerman 24 is having succss in Bowie this year.  2.94 ERA.

It's been ten months though (and what, four months of actual baseball?).  Everyone on here, including you, knew that we would not be able to fully evaluate the  success of the 2018 sell off until years later.

The sell off is what it is. They don't usually go well and I'm not assuming that this one will net out all that good either. However, Diaz and Kremer alone could make it "ok" if they develop. Dumping on either is uninformed.

Villar seems like a solid pick up too, especially if they can turn him into something.  We were all underwhelmed by the Gausman trade, so no surprises there.

I have a hard time guessing what would be an acceptable return for Villar. He's a good, but not that good, middle infielder. What is that going to be worth at the deadline? Hopefully something useful.

Villarr to Cubs seems like a no brainer type move they are getting nothing from 2nd base at all this season.  However the Cubs system is so barren I can’t gind anyone I would even want minus their top two guys who I doubt they move.  There is usually a guy or two that might not be ranked as highly but atleast intrigues me but I can’t find one for them.   Maybe a deal involving Abbot would work or Ademan but they may not want tomove the tools international signee.

Addison Russel + some lower level pitching?

    • The same thing is happening in all sports.  What does travel ball and AAU have in common?  They just play games & they don't practice, they don't learn the proper mechanics, they don't learn fundamentals, and rarely practice at all it is just a group of kids that play games and tournaments.  That is whey the United States is falling behind in players being drafted in the NBA from the United States.   Both AAU you dont do those little things then you go to some tournament and play countless games in a short period and then a few weeks later you do the same thing.  Even in high school and college sports they are playing more and more games.  If you have to play more games that means you are practicing less and less.  
    • I'd rather increase the number of pitchers to spread innings around more and account for modern pitch counts. 
    • I hear ya, but hear me… I know that mlb pipeline just did no major overhaul and has just slotted guys up based on graduations. I don’t follow the other lists daily so I would not be speaking accurately.  It’s July 2nd. The draft is two weeks away. Usually all the sources do a pretty big rerank once players sign and debut. So let’s wait 4-5 weeks until those overhauled lists come out. Our 3 guys shouldn’t have their eligibility exhausted unless an injury happens.  So we’ll see.  Heck, would might be not be eligible when the post draft lists come out in August. 130 ABs is the cutoff. 
    • Probably some combination of all the things that were leading to increased TJ before the pitch clock being taken even further and year to year variability.
    • Holliday for Logan Webb would be cool. There's not really a reason for them specifcially to do that trade, but that's the kinda player (established #1 starter under contract for 3+ years) that I'd do it for.
    • If the concern is that Scherzer might break down before the end of the season, then I'm not sure I see the logic in thinking the longer he pitches, the safer the deal becomes. I would think the more wear and tear on his body, the more likely that issues surface. 
    • And how did Joey work out? He was bouncing around 100 for a bit. I don’t think it’s quite respected enough yet and hopefully is by other teams now, the job that Elias and Sig have done to identify talent. They are hitting on all of their guys. All of them. So the return better have teeth because these guys will be playing on their team for awhile.    I could frankly care less what talent evaluators say and I could frankly care less about trading for Crochet. That dude is not an ace, hasn’t pitched major innings, could just end up in the bullpen and the pressure from national media is trade, trade, trade. When that happens, be wary.   No, I’d rather us keep our long term pieces in tact, go out and grab some DFA’d guys at the deadline and wait till the offseason for Rubenstein to unleash hell and re-sign Burnes, sign a couple of other relievers and grab a quality starter.   Keep the train moving. If anything, you’ll likely see Hays or Urias traded for some relief pitching depth and their presence on the team replaced with younger guys. At most you’ll see Norby traded as he doesn’t really have a spot once Holliday comes up.
