Shawn Armstrong

Richard Bleier

Miguel Castro

Paul Fry

Chandler Shepherd

Tayler Scott

Hanser Alberto

Renato Nunez

Jace Peterson

Jose Rondon

Rio Ruiz

Pedro Severino

Well done.

I’ll dive deeper.  Here are some other names, Luis Gohara LH SP ATL Has options, currently recovering from shoulder surgery, turned 23 yesterday, made his debut in 2017 at age 20. Former top pros

There’s talk he won’t pitch ever again. 

And word on the street is that he also has some mental make up issues... like “dude, you need therapy very badly” issues.

EDIT: it would appear he’s had another surgery very recently, like within the last two weeks.

The Braves i think are trying to pass him through right now in order to take him off the 40 man and don't think a team will take a chance on him.  They could have put him on the 60 day dl and not have needed the space but then in off season they would have to re add him and they are already going to be in a roster crunch in the off season.  Do it now and hope no one wants to gamble and pay him to be on the 60 man for the rest of the season and pass him through to get him off the 40 man roster.  Little bit of roster manipulation that Dan would love.

I'd add De La Cruz and drop Shephard in a heart beat.  I think he is similar to Tate didn't work as starter but could be nice bullpen guy coming in throwing mid to upper 90s.  He has more upside then quite a few guys on the 40 man right now.

Yeah. Sometimes they are just done.

Wow... I hadn't read up on him since last deadline. Thanks for the update.

His days of hitting the upper 90s are gone. Too fragile, too many injuries and he's sit more lower to mid 90s these days. I very much doubt his arm could handle going back to back days.

Change of scenery matters.  

I completely agree about change of scenery, but I also agree that guys who are dropped are dropped for a reason And that reason remains valid. One would hope that we can pull an Armstrong on everybody we bring in, But we will have to see.

      Draft Targets 2 Months Out

      By RZNJ · Posted

      Maybe Hall would be better off if we had done that.  He sure seemed to make a lot more progress as a reliever than he did the last 2-3 years in the minors.   I’m all for seeing what McDermott can do in the bullpen.   Still doesn’t mean I wouldn’t be interested in adding Brecht as well.   That’s not saying he’d even be ready to contribute this year but maybe. I think Sale, Crochet, and others prove that you can fast track as a reliever and still go back to starting.   Anyway, I think I’ll just leave it at agree to disagree.  I’m looking for elite talent at #22 even if the guy profiles as a reliever.   I’ll take that over a Billy Amick type.

      Everything about Adley's throwing has taken a hit this year.  His pop time used to be top tier and he's degraded to around league average.  That's on top of his propensity to throw the ball to Narnia.   Some of the throwing issues I'd excuse because no one is throwing runners out at a good clip anymore (the base size and pickoff rules really made meaningful changes there) but he's not really a plus guy with the run game anymore.  He's still elite at blocking the plate and framing so that's good.   Wieters had a pretty steep drop-off through his mid-20s defensively as well.  It's hard to be Ivan Rodriguez and be an elite thrower from the backstop for like 15 years straight.

      2023 19th Round Pick (#571): Kollin Ritchie - SS - (HS) Atoka HS (OK)

      By Rbiggs2525 · Posted

      Watching this kid at OK State kinda hurts. Starting shortstop for a top 10 program as a Freshman. He’s gives off some toolsy vibes.

      Draft Targets 2 Months Out

      By OsFanInOhio · Posted

      Self edit - I was filtered on contract value not aav. There’s 5 or 6 relievers in the top 50 aav per year. But that’s still nothing, since it shows even back end #2 starters make more than all but the elite closers.  as far as Brecht, I’d have him going up the minors as a starter just like baumeister  I want our minor leagues and FO looking to maximize long term value of our pipeline. If we need a closer or setup man for this year, I’d rather deal norby or someone to acquire it. hell, we kind of already have Brecht at home  his name is chayce McDermott. I’d rather bring him up down the stretch this year than start a first round picks clock and waste a chance to develop him as a starter. If we valued immediate bullpen help over developing starters, hall would’ve been a full time reliever 2 years ago rather than toiling away in Norfolk trying to get him command sorted.

      Of course Holliday as well. Anyways Mayo, Basallo no. As for Kjerstad?, depends on how Stowers does with his chance and what their going to with Mountcastle and to a lesser extent O'Hearn.

      If I get Brecht I’m getting him in the ML bullpen ASAP and pulling the Chris Sale/Garrett Crochet move later on if it’s warranted.

      Only thing that runs Mateo of 2B is injury or Holliday.
