Pop would get claimed imo.   I would definitely protect all of those Tony list as must and possible.  We have the spots to do it right now and easily could open up more spots as well.

I’d have Sedlock in the no need to protect category, as he was unprotected last year and didn’t get claimed.    Otherwise, good list.   I’m interested to know more about Isaac Mattson, who I believe did spend at least some of the summer at the alternate site.    He made it to AAA at the end of 2019 and also pitched in the AFL, so he’s pretty close to major league ready and I wouldn’t be shocked if he got claimed.

I'd pick Pop over Wells in a heartbeat.

If he isn't recovered from TJ you either stash him on the DL or you send him back.  If he's recovered he shouldn't hurt you out of the pen and could easily become a weapon there.

From everything I've heard is that Mattson isn't all that special. I wasn't impressed with the video of him from 2019 and the alternate camp report weren't anything glowing. I just don't think he's the kind of guy you take in a Rule 5. While basically ready, middle relievers aren't hard to find.

Pop is one of those high risk high reward guys teams like to take a look at. Obviously he' a big wild card, but he had very good stats before his injury. 

I think there's potential for him being taken but he's a pretty big wildcard.

Pffft, who'd want our cast of broken toys?

I'm not worried about who we could lose in the Rule 5, that's just silly talk.  Who are we looking to GET in the Rule 5 is what I want to know!!!111 Bring on the Rule 5 baby, only time the Orioles win at anything!  Which Quad A type pitcher are we going to have to try to keep on our roster all year!?!?  I can't WAIT!!!

I figured since he’s coming off TJ that would make him less likely to be taken. Wells has decent numbers all the way up through AA and he’s a lefty starter. Seems to me that’s far more enticing. As far as who ends up having a better career it’s a toss up with my guess being neither becoming impact players.

Soft tossing lefties aren't typically guys that get taken in the Rule 5 draft. Saying that, I'd protect him over several guys on the current 40-man including Wynns, Sulser, Martin, Nevin and Sanchez.

I’d protect the top 9 ...we have plenty of fodder to remove and plenty of similar guys will be available later.

I laughed, but I was actually going to say the same thing...except I don’t think we take a pitcher, I think we take a solid 3B

      No one would use the word "underachieve" to describe someone who didn't meet expectations due to injuries or circumstances beyond their control. Like that's just not what that word means in normal usage.  But technically, sure, Tiger Woods achieved less than was expected of him. Lol.

      Basallo for Miller y/n?

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      This is a different team. Corbin Burnes would have made a difference IMO and we have now acquired him.  I am not dogmatic in believing that it has to be Miller and nothing/nobody else. I am saying that there is a serious argument to be made that Miller or another elite backend bullpen weapon is the piece to take us over the top when the Fall get's here. With a team this good who has legit WS aspirations with a strong argument to be made that we have the best team in the AL, I would hate for us to pin our WS hopes on a pitcher like Craig Kimbrel at this point in his career. IMO he is not good/reliable enough. If we have to get into a game (in October) where it turns into a battle of the bullpens, I would prefer not to have bring a knife to a gun fight.

      LOL.  Technically, he underachieved because of injury but I think most people equate underachiever with a lack of effort.

      I'm not sure if there are any hunters here, but it can be a pretty demanding full-body workout. I suspect Markakis wasn't sitting in a tree stand. I walk miles in rough terrain, good times.

      I understand your argument, but I think your word choice of "underachieved" isn't helping. When it comes to a guy like Tiger, it's hard to call that guy an underachiever, especially when his work ethic is known and undeniable.  The guy can barely walk and he's still out there trying...that's not an underachiever. Underachieving, IMO (and I think what a lot of people think of when they hear the word) is when someone doesn't live up to to their potential, or work hard to maximize their potential...outside of being injured.   Plenty of things can de-rail a career, I don't think that means that individual is an underachiever.  I don't think Griffey is an underachiever, I don't think Trout is, either.  I just think they haven't had the careers they might have had if they were able to stay healthy. When debating these things, it's helpful to have a definition of which to work with.  So while I agree with you that guys like Tiger, Trout, Griffey and others haven't had the careers they were supposed to have, that doesn't mean they were underachievers.  They just got de-railed...now some of that was their own doing, some of that is just the tolls of playing their sports.

      Well deserved. I would have liked to have seen him finish his whole career Baltimore, but mostly have seen him be able to play in the 2012 playoffs. I also appreciate that because of him I know what a kinkajou is.
