I think you're all missing the exciting future possibilities with this trade. In 5 years, Dominguez will be AA ready and we can flip him for 3 teenagers with sky high potential! 

I don't know if Elias is going to be so aggressive with promotions.  He might have to earn his way out of the DSL.

So help me out here. You would trade the #2 overall prospect at a position of need for the Orioles for an 18-year old 5-10 Dominican outfielder who has never been challenged against high level pitchin

Miguel Andújar is blocked a bit and is coming off injury. Maybe a Sisco for Andujar trade makes sense for both? I'd rather give him a chance at 3B to regain himself as a guy, something that's not goin

And your evidence that Jasson will be able to is based on 100% less information lol. His scouting profile is based solely on his physical makeup and BP exit velocities which is why no scouting publica

What's the point of making that argument?  He's the consensus #2 prospect in baseball.  And of course the O's are committed to his success - as they should be.    

Because Frobby said attachment has nothing to do with it.  He’s wrong.  It definitely plays a factor, whether you are conscious of it or not.

How good of a prospect he is also a big reason.  
 

There is never just one reason for something.  There are always layers to every decision, question, conversation, etc...

If we had drafted Witt instead of Adley, people on here would be saying that Rutschman hasn’t done much in the minors yet, that he is already 23 and will wear down much quicker.  
 

“Glad we took the younger player who we should have for more prime years”

I believe that would be the argument even with Adley being ranked #2.  

But since OUR TEAM took Adley, he is our guy!!!!  
 

Zero doubt that is part of this equation.

Maybe to you.   I don’t feel any particular attachment to Rutschman.    But I was extremely glad we picked him because of the scouting consensus on him, and nothing has changed in that regard.   

Ask me if I’d trade Grayson Rodriguez for Dominguez.   Now that’s a tougher question and maybe attachment would come into play there.    It’s a non-factor with Rutschman.

To most fans, it’s how they would think.  There isn’t a question about that.  Fans are attached to their teams players.  That’s part of them being “fan”atical.

I don’t disagree with this at all.   I’m 100% guilty of it myself.   I have to fight against that instinct all the time, and sometimes it overcomes me.  But I just don’t see it as a factor in deciding between Rutschman and Dominguez.    It’s not a very hard call.   

PS - That’s not to say that Rutschman will definitely be better.    But the odds are solidly in his favor and he’s by far the less risky player.

Getting back to the subject here, I'd also drive Sisco or Severino to the airport if we could get something decent back from the Yankees.

I've been particularly hard on him in this thread, but AR needs to be up this summer at some point (yes, CoC, after they've manipulated his service clock) which would make Sisco or Severino expendable.  

Ooooh, what I'd give to see Severino in a Yankees uniform in the postseason and giving up a passed ball in a key moment.  The thought of that makes me giddy!

I agree with you, but in this particular case - I don't think it's a bad thing.

Cuiffo may be the guy we want up here anyway.  I would definitely be looking to trade Severino (figure his value is more worth it to trade and keep Sisco’s bat in hope he develops).  He really doesn’t need to be here.  I’m actually surprised they tendered him a deal although I do agree that for his salary, he provides value to an extent.  
 

They should be able to trade him for something that is likely to be insignificant.

I’d take Taylor Davis before Cuiffo, solely for his camera interactions.

Preferring the #2 prospect in baseball with well-documented high reviews from numerous scouts = Weird Attachment.

Preferring a prospect with no statistical backing from any form of organized baseball to bolster their argument = Not a Weird Attachment, Perfectly Reasonable.

And if you disagree, you are proving that you have a weird attachment to the #2 prospect.

Yeah, that sounds rational.

      Yeah like Tony T but Tony has the ability to foul pitches at will.  I want Cowser to be more like @waroriole’s Rob Refsnyder and Holliday to be Steven Kwan.  Is that too much to ask of number one picks?  But I love Cowser and most of everything he brings.

      I can't say The Wall gives me all warm fuzzies but it doesn't swing at pitches a foot outside the zone or take a meatball right down the middle of the plate. It doesn't fail to move a runner over or lay down a decent sacrifice bunt. I've never seen it fail to get a hit with a runner in scoring position. At some point The Wall will probably be modified some but you build your team to play best in their home ball park. It's called home field advantage. IMO, Westy is the best right handed bat we have right now for this park. We need someone else like Westy that plays outfield. Bregman would be nice but I don't see it because of Westy and I have hopes Holliday becomes the OBP lead off hitter we need. Note - I'm still pissed but it's getting better. I think I'll live for another season.

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      By Warehouse · Posted

      I’d like to see a study showing that team spending is more closely correlated to owner net worth than team revenue.  There are rare instances where a team owner will subsidize spending (e.g., Cohen) but that’s the exception not the rule - and note that Cohen owns 97% of the Mets vs a much lower % for Rubinstein.  Rubinstein has already been explicit that he is not in this to lose money.

      Cowser’s  swing decisions are determined before the pitch is even thrown. And I’ve been saying this all year, and I even said this at the game. I go it’s too early to pinch it for him because his defense is too good but he is 100% going to strike out and that’s exactly what he did with bases loaded. He decides whether he is going to swing a pitch before even thrown This is why he swings at a pitch thrown pretty close to his face . And To be fair, he  had a pretty good season doing that but obviously can be  easily exploited

      Cowser's progress was one of the more encouraging elements this season, especially on the defensive side. I was already crediting him with being Some Kind of Good major leaguer a post back. Between his and Adley's standout bad performances on the HBP and 2-0 count, I give Cowser more of a grace.     Sure he had predetermined intent to swing, but I think the follow through was some raw instinct as hand bones fractured. Adley not swinging was the lowlight how incapacitated he was.    I believe he commands the strike zone, but to feel so low you can't pull the trigger in that spot...sheesh.

      How does Povich fit into your 2025 plans?

      By jabba72 · Posted

      I believe Elias plans to bring in two more SP's, the quality isnt what im sure about. But no question he'll want to replace Burnes. Which is why I didnt comment in this thread yet because Povich might not have a spot open at the beginning of the year.

      Elias: It's on me

      By bobmc · Posted

      So a “Pollyanna” then like me, @wildcard and others (joking of course) 😇 I’m in your camp but really wonder if Elias/Hyde and Co. can truly“flip the script” as @Just Regular alludes.
