You know those MRIs ain't cheap!

There is zero chance I am on board with a Felix throwing in the mid 80's as closer for 1M.  

We probably have guys in the pen who throw change ups harder than Felix's fastball these days.

Yikes. Felix used to throw really hard. Some velo drop is expected given his age but not that drastic. Definitely think he’s done unfortunately. The elbow thing doesn’t sound good at all.

Honestly, I like it.   I’d rather see what King Felix can muster vs. Wade LeBlanc, Tommy Milone, Tom Eshelman etc.   If we have to watch a couple of warm bodies fill out the rotation for a few months,

#34 is waiting for you Felix. Just like #34 was waiting in 1993 for a former CY Young Award winner and six time all star.   He like you signed with the Orioles in February (the 27th) after not pi

I think he can return to Cy Young form

I hope this isn't in the bucket of we aren't doing MRIs on Chris Davis' back either.    He got 1 inning of results yesterday - he'd have to buy in but he could be be Closer and we see what happens the next 5-10 innings.    Is best next 5-10 days a hot bullpen next step and then a game about March 26th?

We really need the King to pump up the gate receipts for that 4 game set with Seattle in mid-April.  After that, he can "reinjure" his arm and go quietly into the night.  ?

      2024 Prospect Power Rankings

      By glenn__davis · Posted

      A lot of guys on that list have also just had a very hard time staying healthy.  Haskin has done some good things but missed a lot of time.  Servideo missed a lot of time.  Ardoin actually has had a decent career so far for a 4th rounder. Reed Trimble is another guy that just can't stay on the field.  Looks like he made it about 2 weeks this year before going on the IL yet again.  Not sure what the injury is (yes RZ I did google it :))

      Have you ever seen them in the same room together…?

      What a bummer, especially means. Glad we got to see some vintage Means in his first start back. I'd love to bring him back on a two year deal

      What he's been able to do at the plate has been a nice pick-me-up for the a team that has had multiple hitters struggling at the same time. For me though, watching how he's handled 2B this season has been a treat. The tag on the SB attempt last night was a play that not all 2B make.    There's been times I would have traded or released him for nothing, but right now I'm really glad he's still here.

      If he stays right where he is right now hitting .245, he has very nice value. On pace for a 3-4 war season. As a secondary piece, that’s huge.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Greg Pappas · Posted

      Adding relievers should be the priority, but that doesn't mean Elias won't look to strengthen our staff or add a hitter as well.  I'm not expecting us to trade for Luzardo, but it's a possibility with the injuries that our staff has been through.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      Luzardo is a really interesting target. On one hand, he is your Burnes replacement. A guy with high end starter potential (although less of a sure thing than Burnes) who you would have for 2 more years. OTOH, it feels like he could be a ticking time bomb…and yes you can say that about most pitchers but some are worse than others. Im not sure im giving up Povich or McDermott in a Luzardo deal because we just don’t have much depth right now after them. A year or 2 from now, the depth has the potential to look a lot better but we aren’t there yet. Besides the obvious 3 prospects, DeLeon, Povich and McDermott are the next 3 guys I really want to keep if possible. Everyone else is on the table although I certainly would prefer to use other intl guys vs Liranzo and Sosa. Using some kind of combo of Kjerstad, Stowers, Norby, Fabian, any of the veteran OFers/OHearn/Mounty and any of the draft picks from last year are amongst the group of guys I would be looking to move first.  Try to build a package(s) around that group of players and see what you can come up with.
