What’s the status of Gabriel Ynoa? I know he’s not anyone’s favorite, but I haven’t seen him mentioned here and I fully expected him to get starts again this year for the Os.

 

This is the most recent I've seen:

Orioles Outright Gabriel Ynoa

By Jeff Todd and Connor Byrne | November 4, 2019 at 4:47pm CDT

The Orioles announced that they have outrighted right-hander Gabriel Ynoa. He elected free agency after clearing waivers.

This is the second straight November in which the Orioles have outrighted Ynoa, whom they originally acquired from the Mets prior to the 2017 season. Once a promising prospect, Ynoa – now 26 – is coming off his first truly extensive season at the MLB level. While Ynoa did walk just 2.11 hitters per nine and induce grounders at a 46.7 percent clip over 110 2/3 innings for this year’s rebuilding O’s, a low strikeout rate (5.45 per nine) helped limit him to a subpar 5.61 ERA/6.20 FIP.

He’s currently being terrible in the Dominican Winter League. 
He was waived and is a free agent.

Jim Duquette says Bundy does not have the trade value needed to bring back he Elias will want in trade because of his poor 2019 season.   Jim says the O's likely keep him and try to improve his trade value during the season.

I’m inclined to agree with that, but I wonder what needs to improve. HR rate of course, but how?

Does anyone really believe that Jim Duquette is a source ??

    • In terms of energy?   e = 1/2 mv^2 football: 60 mph -> 26.8 m/s, 14.5 oz = .411 kg.  1/2 * (26.8^2) * .411 = 147.5 joules. baseball: 102 mph -> 45.59 m/s, 5 oz = .142 kg.  1/2 * (45.59^2) * .142 = 147.5 joules.   I don't think they're 100% equivalent - I think the higher raw speed on the arm of a 102 mph pitch introduces more stress on the arm than a 60 mph football throw.  But they're not that far off.
    • There is no chance that over 60 mph for a QB is the equivalent of 102.  QBs do not train for velocity like pitchers do. 
    • I would prefer they ask for Jon Gray in spite of the Orioles destroying him in his last start - he wouldn't have to face the Orioles lineup again.
    • He makes $43 million this year. The Mets are paying $21 million of that. I don’t think we pick up the remaining $10+ post deadline for 10-12 starts. It would just depend on what Texas would ask for to pick up the tab. 
    • Haynie on 105.7, has been beating the Luis Robert drum for months on the O’s pre game show. So I think that’s why people like the idea of Robert. Robert also is always hurt.  We need a bat. Probably a RH bat to DH in the playoffs versus a LH SP. That bat is Mayo. It’s just hard to get Mayo up before September when we get the extra roster spot. 
    • Holliday went 1 for 2 with 3 walks on Friday night. 2024: .444 OBP, .911 OPS MiLB Career: .447 OBP, .931 OPS His OBP is EXACTLY what this O's team needs, would fill a key offensive weakness at 2nd base, help grind opposing pitching, and magnify the power up and down the lineup.  It's all dependent on his ability to throw and play 2B at a passable level. If Holliday starts to hit at the ML level, the question of who bats leadoff is over for the foreseeable future and we can go back to complaining about 1 slumping hitter or backup catcher at the bottom of the lineup.
    • This. We literally have no lineup holes right now, and Mayo, Norby, Jax lurk. Any trade discussion should center around the four most essential and crucial elements to O's success for the balance of the regular season and playoffs: 1. pitching 2. pitching 3. pitching 4. damn, forgot the 4th one. oh yeah, its pitching.
