I get that Elias is brining people on board.

We had nobody in the dominican, so they went out and hired some and now, we fired them, before they got on location.

The people he fired in the Dominican were people at the Orioles Complex, they'd been there and since the Orioles didn't invest anything in their Dominican program, I'd guess the hitting coach and strength coach, etc weren't top notch player development guys that Elias wants.

I've wondered a few times this year what Ryan Minor would have been able to do with the 2019 roster in Salisbury. He only had two winning years here, but never won more than 73. I've met him a few tim

I would suspect just about all the GMs in MLB, would have to ask ownership permission to jettison that amount of money on that contract. I do not know why you think otherwise.

Thanks.

I thought Mora had mentioned the team didnt even have a complex there, this was when the news of Elias hiring was made public and Mora was exicted as he knew they would get into the market there for real.

Here are the relevant quotes.

"According to an industry source, the Dominican employees let go were Anthony Adames (strength coach), Benny Adames (hitting coach), Basilio Alvarado (scout) and Jorge Perozo (academy administrator)." - Roch

“We’ve added scouts in the Dominican. I think we’re going to hire a couple more and try to beef up in Venezuela, as well, though it’s a little trick right now from a political and business operations standpoint. And Koby (Perez) is out looking for people right now. We also want to take our development operation there, improve it, improve the facilities and improve the integration and communication between the Dominican player development and the American player development. So there’s a lot to do there, but we’ll get it done and we’ll keep plugging away.” - Elias

He has a point about us being 46-97.  Seems Elias has the power that DD and AM never had.   Sad for the people losing jobs but everyone at the major league level lost their jobs last year.  

Hopefully the guys find new jobs. I wonder if we will see a bunch of Major league coaching changes once the season ends.

He does seem to have more power, but he's also got integration in mind, which tells me he's going to manage the people he brings in differently than Duquette or others ever did. It's not just about who he brings in. It's what is expected of the people here that's different.

But I keep hearing that term being used with Elias and not with those other names.  No one is suggesting that Dombrowski had full control.

I think he did up until he got fired. All those contracts he gave out after Boston won the WS?

“We have a very specific pitching program that we’re carrying out in the minor leagues and I think the results of that so far this year have been good and we want to make sure that every stop in the minor league ladder, whether it’s the rehab spot in Florida when pitchers are down there rehabbing, whether it’s the Dominican, whether it’s the GCL, whether it’s Triple-A, that they reflect the curriculum and the tenor of that program and that when players move from level to level there’s a smooth handoff. So nothing specific with any one outlet of that, but the whole chain is very important to us.” -Elias

      O's Getting Hosed, All Star Reserves

      By AlbNYfan · Posted

      I think there is a better term than "angry" to describe some of the O's. Anger seldom results in anything positive. Now, playing with attitude is another thing. GH is certainly the "King" of attitude on this team, no one is going to beat him. I believe there are several position players that show attitude in different ways. Pitchers?? SP throw 90 or so pitches. They can't afford to display emotions or they would be worn out much earlier. They also can't afford to have the "deer in the headlights" look. Of the O's starters, I believe CP is in that world at present. It's mainly an experience and growth thing.  GR, IMO, has approved significantly in that department over the last year.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By chipster22 · Posted

      On close examination of Kjerstad today (July 7), I hope he is not part of any trade package. This kid is a bull, with power potential that is off the charts.  He runs surprisingly well and that throw to the plate from left was very impressive, if a bit high. I can see him planted in left field for a long time, perhaps in a platoon with Hays the rest of the year, but eventually full time if he proves able to hit southpaws.

      I like this idea better, but I am curious to what it would take to secure Mason Miller.

      I totally get it.  It’s a huge risk vs. reward situation, but getting someone like him (if he’s still strong) or Skubal could make a major difference come October for you guys over the next three seasons.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Greg Pappas · Posted

      IMHO it's not about whether Crochet is an "opener" or a reliever, it's the innings.  He's never thrown more than 65 innings (at college in 2019) in his entire college or pro career and stands at 105.1 today.  Let that sink in.  On top of that, there is Crochet's TJ surgery, where he missed all of 2022 and had multiple stints on the IL in 2023 as he was recovering, tossing a total of 25 IP. Does any of this mean he cannot throw double (130 IP) or triple (195 IP) his prior max?  No one can say for certain, but I'd think any reasonable person would agree that, at the very least, it's a far riskier proposition for someone like Crochet than a pitcher who has been a starter and has thrown 150+ IP before.  So, to recap: The most innings he's ever thrown was 65 IP in college (2019) After throwing 54 innings of relief for the White Sox in 2021, he missed all of 2022 with Tommy John surgery He followed up in 2023 by throwing a total of 25 innings of relief, as he dealt with a couple of IL stints recovering from TJ His first ever pro start came this season and he's been dynamite through 105.1 IP Elias and Sig are well aware of the risks and it will be interesting to see how it all shakes out.

      Tell me the cost and I would probably sign up. What about you Qauntrill, Scherzer and Yates and you got to keep all top 4 prospects?
