Zach Brown couldn't be any more than a throw-in, as he is eligible to be picked in the Rule 5 draft and can't be added to the 40-man roster beforehand.

Good point. Was going off MLB pipeline and being lazy. What's weird is that he's the 3rd best in Milwaukee's system on both fangraphs and Pipeline.

Intellectually, I understand the case for trading Bundy, and I’m fine with it so long as the return is fair and advances our long term goals.    Emotionally, this would sadden me.   I’ve followed

I'm ready, I'll take a break from my Rule 5 slog. I'm at the part where I have to narrrow down 150 possibilities to 50 for my preference list. The least fun part.

If Davies can repeat his 2017 season they're basically the same pitcher. If it's an upgrade it's marginal. Davies is also a year younger. 

I'm not making this up, I'm just quoting the only statistical projection out for 2020 at this point. If you want to give an eye test reason why that's mistaken, I'm all for it. But IMO the eye test supports Bundy over Davies.

The best chance to sell Bundy for a good return is when the acquiring team gets him for two pennant runs.   That probably means he goes before August 1st.    

I believe his suitors classify him as a better 6-month asset than a 2-month asset, and there's more risk than reward for the Orioles in holding him for the first half because an injury is far more likely than enough of a performance jump to increase his trade value.  The kind of teams that want him are playing pennant chase baseball on Opening Day.

You have to compare Bundy to how the rest of the league pitched in 2019 and by that measure he was a league average starter with a 99 ERA+.  A 21 point improvement over Bundy's 2018 season. 

 

99+ is technically below average so I was correct ?

 

I’m kidding, I see the context. I guess the teams dreadful production as a whole has a negative effect on how I perceive everyone’s individual contributions. Also I really don’t want to get myself excited about what could come back potentially considering I’ve had a lot of disappointments in that regard the past couple seasons. Plus I still like Bundy whether he’s good or bad so I’d hate to see him leave for nothing.

In rookie ball.

He's a prized prospect. I like Bundy, but Abrams will be a top 100 guy really soon, if not this year. He might have to put up a year before BA etc. recognize him, but he's a top level guy who has a chance to be one of the top prospects in the sport in a year or two.

      Norby and Vespi coming up?

      By SteveA · Posted

      Haven't read further in the thread to know if it's been noted, but there is a Concussion Protocol List which has a shorter maximum duration than the 10 day IL.   I think it is 5 days? So no doubt the move being made is: Mateo to the CL, with Vespi replacing him on the roster (since Vespi hasn't been down 15 days, he can only come up to replace someone going on an injury list). Norby coming up because we need 13 position players, and a pitcher going.   My guess is Vieira DFA.   It's pretty damn telling that in the post game yesterday Hyde said he had to stick with Tate as long as he did because he didn't have any rested RH relievers in the pen.   Vieira hadn't pitched in 6 days.

      It will be interesting to see how they handle Norby. Norby can play 2B and corner outfield, but he's a below average defender at 2B.  The Orioles history suggest Norby will be a bench guy for now with Urias slotting in at 3B and Westburg at 2B mostly while Mateo is out. Saying that, Norby give the Orioles a good right-handed bat off the bench and a guy who could spell Mullins with Cowser slotting over to CF.  The question is whether Norby will get some Hays PAs?  I'd personally like to just drop him at 2B and keep Westburg at 3B with Urias on the bench, but that would not be how the Orioles typically break in non "impact" rookies.  Either way, this is a well earned major league debut for Norby. Here's to hoping he's given a chance to play a bit.

      I think it’s a fair argument to make about players like Kjerstad. His promotion was questioned at the time as he was raking in AAA and there was not an obvious opportunity to play when promoted. And sure enough he sat on the bench primarily for weeks and was demoted. i think there’s a difference between promoting a player like Kjerstad and promoting a Maton etc. Our top prospects should only be promoted if they are going to get a long leash on playing time a la Holliday (IMO)

      Extend Burnes

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Notwithstanding age and position, I think I'm still on Team Adley for priority 1. One of the management talking points is around avoiding the risk of "creating complacency" when a ballplayer good enough to rate it gets their forever fortune. I think the other side of that being too stingy is "creating resentment" in your labor force. Burnes is an interesting cat as he's taken some actions that real world illustrate how created resentment looks in the cliches only constrained world of ballplayers and clubs interacting with media. I think Elias/Sig modeling a healthy respect for the opportunity Burnes has just about earned himself might help even if they know today their recommendation to ownership is an aggressive chase that already has the green light.     Information how Burnes fares the next 4-5 months is valuable, especially how his stuff plays against the best of the best once he's 30.     Fun fact ALCS Game 7 could fall 10.22.2024 precisely on Burnes' 30th birthday.

      Is Rich Hill an option? I believe he was looking to sign with someone mid year. Would we consider him?
