Email went out earlier: Paul Fry and Kyle Moore will be the guests this time.

Might go, as I like Fry, plus I should be off early enough to get there.

Anyone else going, or will I be the only one subjected to @weams talking about the food?

They are calling in and won't be there if it matters to you.

Not going but wonder if Kyle Moore's splittie is being revamped (oh wait - is he a coach?).  Also, is Papa Frita worried about Lucas or does he see a "brother in (pun intended) arms" to mentor.  Look forward to your "hot takes" (except for the food), if available.  ⚾

Question for Fry:  “How are you going to survive the three batter rule?”    He got yanked during an inning before he’d faced three batters on six occasions, most on the team.     He actually faced less than three batters 16 times, but in the other 10, he was removed between innings.   The new rule doesn’t affect those.

Where is the Hot Stove Show this week? Still at the radio station by invitation? Givens and Mancini are next and then Davis calls Elias and asks for a meeting to negotiate a buyout. Part of their plan. Millions more saved. Davis will not want to stay. We'll be under 40 mill pushing 30 afterwards and Elias can start over. It appears the days of trading major league players for at least one major league player coming back with prospects is over. I guess they'll stop selling jerseys in the Oriole store with names on the back. That will probably be ending soon.. Will fans buy shirts with Alberto and Ruiz on the back?

I went to a lot of games and I don’t remember seeing a lot of Villar jerseys.

I can't imagine there are many Jerseys that have been sold on guys that will be here or was last year.

Honestly, despite your feelings about anyone the moves this week it looks the the major league team hasn't hit bottom yet.

Here’s what bottom is, being as bad as we were last year and not having the #1 pick in the upcoming draft.

    • 2/$10M with the idea that they trade him when Basallo is ready?
    • If they draft and develop players sucessfully enough to trade for MLB pitching then what is the problem?  It's accomplishing the same goal.   Having a MLB rotation. We've made the playoffs the last two years.  Look at how our depth chart stacks up, 2025 - Eflin, Grayson, Kremer, Suarez, Povich, Rogers, McDermott - Bradish on IL, Wells on IL, Maybe Means? 2026 - Bradish, Grayson, Kremer, Suarez, Povich, Rogers, McDermott, Wells, Means? 2027 - Bradish, Grayson, Kremer, Suarez, Povich, McDermott, Wells, Means? We have the ammo in the farm to make any trade we want still.  We could get Crochet if we wanted this offseason it would just not be pretty.  We have 6 or 7 draft picks in the top 100 this draft.  Next draft we could get additional picks for Mayo ROY, or Mullins and Eflin netting comp picks.  That could be another 6-7 draft picks in the top 100 in 2026.   If Elias' strategy is allowing us to fill out a "good" MLB SP via draft capital, then what does it matter if it's the draft picks themselves, or what we can use the draft picks to buy?
    • I like avoiding SPs in general in the rebuild.  TINSTAAPP is a thing because (as the thread somewhere says) "they all break." Teams chase pitching because of everything people are saying.  High quality, healthy pitching is expensive in every sense of the word.  Which also means position players fall.  Warren Buffett 101 "Be greedy when the market is fearful.  And be fearful when the market is greedy." Elias almost certainly feels that position players have a higher floor than SPs.  Vs. the stars and scrubs (real prospects or not) type mentality.  **As a coach that's a struggle too.  Do I focus on the stars because they're going places?  Or do I focus on the scrubs to raise the floor of the team?  Org building isn't an apples to apples comp to me coaching.  But maybe more than we think. But we're out of the rebuild now (liftoff).  Elias has shifted SOME over the last 2 years drafting by taking SPs earlier.  I really doubt he will ever draft an SP in the first round.  In 90% of cases, I'm fine with that.  But hope to see some type of trend toward taking an SP or 2 in day 1.  Is it BPA or needs based?  Or some type of mash-up of those 2 with a portfolio management chase for Alpha while reducing Beta? Not many of the 2-5th round college OFers has been much of anything.  Plus, we're now getting multiple day 1 picks (near top 100).  Everything after that is basically a lottery ticket regardless of position. Maybe there is wisdom in drafting SPs there and trading them for established SPs (ala Burnes/Hall+, Eflin/Baumeister+).  It negates development risk and minimizes health risk (still/always some but targetted at the MLB level where you want it).  The cost is team control.   Maybe there is some wisdom in signing rebound candidates annually as rotation fillers?  We have the home park that will help rebounders get back on the map for big market teams.  Not saying 100% or even 60% of the rotation should be that type.  But our #3 or 4 guy could be a rebounder.  And a AAA stashed guy too.
    • That’s quite nice handful of picks . I hope Elias rolls the dice on drafting pitchers  .  Don’t wait until near the end of  draft to select pitchers 
    • Definitely disappointed they were not able to get a pass rusher or safety. Getting a dime corner is very underwhelming. Guess EDC think the Ravens can just outscore everyone.
    • I don’t think anyone with any degree on intelligence believes Rogers can be counted on as a viable member of this rotation  The plan is to upgrade the team to go after the World Series.    If they bring in two better guys they can make Rogers earn his way back and trade a guy like Kremer.    plus Grayson requires a back up plan as his Lat issues can come back at anytime. Which eliminates taking a shot on Snell and his adductor.
