So, I looked up the Braves 60 man pool and I believe the top 12 guys in the 2020 BA Prospect Handbook are in the pool and, thus, would not be PTBNL in our trade.  The 13, 14 and 15 guys on the list are not in the pool and include two interesting prospects.  At 13, with a 55 rating with Extreme Risk, is Michael Harris a highly athletic 2019 HS 3rd rounder.  Freddy Tarnok, the Braves 15th prospect a 2017 HS RHP, is interesting.

I would be surprised if we got a top 15 prospect in a loaded farm system.

I think this deal looks similar to the Cashner deal when it’s all said and done and if it does look like that deal, I think we would be extremely lucky to have gotten that much back.

Getting anything back is a positive.

Milone's average season from 2016-19 was 64 innings of a 5.67.  Getting anything is wonderful.

I hope the return was not contingent on results. 

As a kid did you ever play slow-pitch with someone who'd only been playing travel baseball for a long time?  They're so jacked up to hit 84 mph stuff that they're viciously swinging way out in front of every 35 mph lob.  It's pretty funny.  That could be people facing Milone for a little while.

LOL.   Staked to a 10-0 lead in the second inning and couldn’t last 3 innings.    Well, not our problem!   But I hope he does well for the Braves.  

Milone outdid himself tonight.   The Braves scored 13 runs in the first 3 innings but Milone was yanked after 3.1 after giving up 8 himself.

      9/26: A Weak Effort In New York

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      I was at a meeting and came out to the Orioles down 1-0. I looked away for what seemed like a minute and it was 5-0, then 7-0. Do we know why Burnes was lifted after just 69 pitches after 5 innings? Was he hurt? Do we know why Cano was brought into the game in the 6th (Have to imagine his adrenaline may not have been as flowing at that stage of the game)?  Obviously the bullpen was pretty horrific last night, but could some of this be because Hyde was using guys who typically are late in game relievers in the 6th inning?

      Is there a 5th O's #1 Prospect?

      By OriolesUpAndDowns · Posted

      Good point on the age.  I think it would have to be someone like Nate George from this year's draft just blowing up next year. The story would be how everyone missed on him because he played in a cold weather state.

      First, Schmidt is having a better year than Cole. Second, the O's teed off Ragans and Lugo last time they faced them.

      Elias needs to use better judgement when he dumpster dives, prepare better for the high percentage chance that his dumpster diving pickups will fail, and increase usage of other means to get pieces. Bullpen usage is another problem, but it’s hard to effectively juggle flaming torches. A wrong move burns badly

      DH - O'Hearn v. Kjerstad

      By e16bball · Posted

      I can see the case for Mountcastle based on defense alone, but what has Kjerstad done to warrant that kind of treatment? Is it the .505 OPS he’s put up since coming back? The overall .438 ML OPS since getting hit in the head? I’m as bummed as anyone that his season got derailed, but if you’re talking about where they are right now — he’s not your huckleberry. As for O’Hearn, he’s 8 for his last 23 (.348), with 3 doubles. That feels a little like the “getting himself together” that you referenced. He had an awful month-long slump, but he also has an extended track record (over 1.5 seasons) of excelling in the role he’s now back in, as the platoon LH 1B/DH guy. He had a 125 wRC+ in those 750 PAs as an Oriole until 8/20, which is roughly when Mountcastle went out.  I’d be good with Kjerstad DHing against LH starters, because there’s good reason to think he hits them better than O’Hearn. And if they want to play both O’Hearn and Kjerstad against some RHPs, in order to set up the potential of Mountcastle coming in to PH against a lefty reliever, I’m down for that too. But the primary alignment is going to (and should) be the Mountcastle/O’Hearn duo we’ve gotten accustomed to seeing.

      By Moose Milligan · Posted

      The Achilles heel for this team is going to be the unit that doesn't step up in the postseason. I can easily see scenarios where: the bullpen is hot and provides good performances but the offense sputters and isn't clutch the offense comes up big but the bullpen blows games late starting pitching tosses some clunkers (not really likely with Burnes and Eflin) and they can't recover the defense sucks and gives opponents extra outs to work with, blowing games open when the bullpen or SP would have been able to escape and continue We've seen all of these units falter at one point or another during this season.  We've also seen all of these units perform very well at different times throughout the season.  So, we'll see what turns out to be the Achilles heel for the Orioles in the playoffs starting next week.
