He's kinda old.

What’s his TTTP?

Better than I expected.  Thought this was going to end up as cash considerations.

Again, the fact that the Orioles got anything more than a box of baseballs and three jock straps for Velazquez is a good thing.

A lottery ticket and another young arm to add to the pipeline.  Could be anything.

One would assume that Elias is very familiar with the guy, given that he signed only a few weeks after Elias left the Astros and Elias was in charge of their international operation before he left.    Nothing not to like here.

Who's Hector Velazquez?

[wildcard]

Of course, Elias scouted  Padilla when he was with the Astros.

edit: info below specific to Hector Velasquez....

If like me you forget where guys came from (especially ones that don't play here at all....) here is some info how we acquired and how he previously pitched info.  Seems solid for a waiver pickup, reading this it does seem to be more than cash consideration worthy.  Doing a waiver and getting a flyer is fairly efficient.

If you look at

Velazquez’s splits, the Orioles are making the right decision. He has a 2.99 ERA in 99.1 career innings as a reliever, and a 5.27 mark in 66.2 innings as a starter. That disparity was stark as well during his 2018 season, when he helped the Red Sox to the championship by going 7-2 with a 3.18 ERA in 47 appearances. He had a 2.64 ERA out of the bullpen, and a 4.15 ERA in starts.
