I wouldn't get too worked up over who we selected and who we lost just because of the history of these Rule 5 drafts. I said earlier that Pop would be a guy I would have protected IF I knew he wa

Just enough to be returned.  Then he can be awesome.

Both Tyler Wells and Sceroler could proven to be more valuable than Pop.  They may add to the starter depth in the near future.   I would like to have Pop back though.

Hopefully just not ready and Marlins can't/don't remain patient.  If returned we could give him the needed time in the minors, which is generally a one of the bigger challenges for Rule V guys making the jump. 

Most I've seen that stick spend some time the following year in the minors after a team can do it.  (Or sooner for rehab like the O's did a bit with Santander).  That would be my biggest concern, that he has arm soreness and they play a injured list game to limit his roster space eating time and find a way to keep him anyway.  Again, time will tell.

He needs to spend 90 days on the active roster for them to keep him.  Time on the IL does not count.

Instead of bringing him back, I could totally see the O's agreeing to trade Pop to the Marlins for an 18 yr old Dominican prospect.  At least Moose would then be happy.

Yes, which is less than a full season and how it happened with Santander.  He needed like 15 more days come the following year before he could be sent down. 

My point is simply that they can find ways to get that roster spot for a decent part of the year if needed.

If he didn’t stick with the Marlins, wouldn’t every team in the National League have to pass on making a waiver claim before we even get a chance to claim him ourselves? Or take a chance that nobody in the AL claims him and get him offered back in the traditional sense? Could Miami trade him back to us as a Rule V? Seems to me the chances of him coming back are slim at best.

If someone else claimed him they would have to keep him on the roster all year, as if they'd drafted him in the Rule 5 themselves.  So it's pretty common to have someone returned.

Of course, but he’d have to really bomb with Miami for no other team to stash him away after what he showed in ST. He’s not nearly as much of a project as most Rule V guys.

No, not really.   For a team to claim him that have to have space on the 26 man roster or be willing to DFA someone.   He now has an ERA of 27.00 so contenders will probably not be interested.   Teams that are not trying to win are the ones that might be interested, but that ERA may indicate to them that he will be hard to keep on the roster for any length of time.

I don't necessarily think one game is going to change Miami's mind especially with his sinker and slider showing above average movement. He's allowed one hit and that happened to be a grand slam home run.

Now if he continues to struggle with his command they might offer him back at some point, especially if they feel they are legitimate contenders and need a spot, but I think others will take a chance on him before he ends up back with the Orioles anyways.

Kind of a Frobby queson but How common is it for other teams to claim a rule 5 guy after he is placed on waivers?

Not very common but it has happened. Jose Bautista went through multiple team but I'm not sure when the last time this happened.

      Why not Chayce McDermott?

      By Il BuonO · Posted

      I agree with those who say he probably needs to figure it out in Norfolk, however, they could bring also bring him up for a look when any of Baker, Tate, or Vespi reboard the shuttle. Maybe Povich had earned the call up, whereas they don't think McDermott has done that, but bringing him up as a temporary move couldn't hurt too much for the aforementioned pitchers.

      Basallo for Crochet?

      By gamiliel · Posted

      Big not necessarily tall is what he is saying.....Basallo is much thicker build, which actually may be better for a catcher anyway. Pudge was not thin--even before roids.

      I sort of don't get Elias's plan

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      With this current starting pitching as is, barring an epic collapse by the Yankees, the chances of us winning the division are very low. Right now, in just about every other series (the series that Burnes and Rodriguez don't start) we are at a talent disadvantage. We have the #1 offense in all of baseball - we have scored the most runs and hit the most home runs and have scored 8, 11, and 17 in the last 3 series and we are all of 4-6 in our last 10 games. It's hard to see us being favored against even a decent team like the Mariners (with our starting pitching as is) given the talent disadvantage in the two rotations. Now we that doesn't mean that we couldn't/wouldn't pull it out. But I doubt that we would be favorites as things are going. And then when you look at a team like the Phillies with their rotation/offense/bullpen or even the Dodgers for that matter, I believe that even if we made it that far, we would be heavy underdogs against either opponent. I don't like our chances of continuously having to rely upon "beating the odds" round after round (I didn't even mention NY if we were to meet them). This is year 3 of Adley, 2 for Gunnar, and possibly our only with Burnes. Without making significant trades or major FA acquisitions, I don't see any near future scenarios where things are better for us, we have more talent or frankly a better opportunity.  Pitching injuries are so significant and so frequent in MLB now, that future projections are hazy at best. Because it is likely that you have to make pitching additions/acquisitions EVERY YEAR in order to seriously compete. If we don't make upgrades/trades this year, when will we do it? And what will be promised to us more than it is now?

      Gunnar vs. Coby Mayo at the same place in time

      I was wondering if you thought Coby Mayo should be brought up Roy.

      Bullpen 2024

      By jdwilde1 · Posted

      Cano hasn’t achieved consistent movement with his fastball, which really requires run and sink to be effective.  He’s also been hanging too many change ups.  I big part of his turn around last year was dropping to more of a sidearm delivery and his stuff gets flat when he loses that delivery slot.

      We need both.  My goal would be two backend bullpen arms and one starter at the deadline.

      By interloper · Posted

      I'm sorry but who cares about his walk rate. We are using Bryan Baker. We are using Suarez as a starter. We are using Vespi. We are not in a position to nitpick the guy's walk rate.  For god's sake, call up someone who has some upside. It's not like he's going to do much worse than what we have right now. And he might just go nuts out of the bullpen.
