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.

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.

The 31-year-old was 11-7 with a 3.90 ERA in 89 games in the last three seasons with Boston, including 19 starts.

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      It’s called venting, montezuma’s revenge-o.

      It did look like they already have their game legs back--maybe in time to make that dream come true. I live in Brooklyn and it's going to be a challenge to hold my place and my lip in the sports bars over the next three days (unless I go to one filled with Mets fans who are just letting one screen tune into the game in the Bronx).

      Adley was 2022, not sure if Gunnar was 2022 or 2023, I think he was also 2022.

      Oh, I thought you were taking about his hitting in high leverage situations.

      Frustrating sure, but boring is not what I would I say. We do steal bases at times. I would like for us to play more small ball sometimes and it is frustrating to see us be so homerun happy. I think with Westy back, we will see a resurgence of timely hitting as that is very contagious.   We saw that at the beginning of the year. Amazing sight to see for sure. I think the most disheartening thing that really shocked me is the apathy and outright disgust I’ve seen from O’s fans toward their team. Perhaps we have been spoiled? No idea. Maybe expectations were too high? No idea, but frankly, a lot of yall focusing on other things and simply not watching/posting would make next season a lot more enjoyable. This is the first time since 96-97 where we make the playoffs in back to back years and you guys have been acting like some real lame jerks this whole dang season. Frankly, yall should be ashamed of yourselves. We are an incredibly young team and with that come highs and lows, but yall don’t see that. You just love to complain and moan and bloviate. Where’s the heart? Where’s the loyalty? Where’s the gratitude? You’d think with all this team has overcome, especially being so young, y’all would be happy, but no. So go off on your little bike rides or whatever. Go watch a movie if this saga seems boring to you. I don’t care. Just for once this season, keep your immense negativity to yourself.

      Fangraphs updated top prospect list

      By luismatos4prez · Posted

      Really an amazing run, 4 straight years. I completely agree with the ranking, too. There's no way Kjerstad is still a prospect though, right? 45 days is the cutoff and he's played in 48 games.
