Looks like it worked today. I’m going to go out on a short limb and say Vlad’s defense at 3B will hurt them a lot more than Vogelbach’s bat will help them. Looking forward to seeing this alignment on a regular basis. -
I would argue they are 2 short. Webb and Cano are not back end guys with their average to below average K rates. In order of high leverage to low leverage, I like the idea of: Kimbrel, Trade 1, Coulombe, Trade 2, Cano, Perez, Webb, Akin/Suarez Cano is still fine against RHB’s and Webb has reverse splits. They need a righty version of Coulombe, someone that is a true backend guy and can get both lefties and righties out. They can probably manage with just 1 addition and keeping 2 of Akin/Suarez/Tate in the pen. But having those 2 additions and not having to rely on Cano turning back into 2023 Cano seems smart. The BP is the clear weakness of the team and this could be the only year with Burnes. Might as well load up. -
And he was flashing some wheels too, stretching into a 2B and also cutting off balls in the field, making competitive throws trying to get runners. -
Agreed they were one reliever short I thought even with Baumann(even though I don’t trust him much), now with Viera they are 2 guys short. That was a downgrade though they must think they can get him fixed enough to have him help out later on. Perez has pitched well so that is a big help but still another guy is needed for times like today. I do think they might add Lopez if they can claim him on waivers who is better option then Viera imo. -
I have no problem going reliever at #22 if he profiles as a dominant reliever. Sounds like Massey can be gotten later but I’d have no problem going for Brody Brecht with one of those first two picks. Again, I prefer Gillen or Lindsey at #22. Be great if we could get one at #22 and the other at #32. Who do you consider high upside that might be there at #32?

Looking for bright spots from today’s game, Hays hit three balls on the screws, 102, 104 and 106, two of which went for hits. His BA is creeping towards the Mendoza line, now at .190. He’s hitting .294 since coming off the IL. -

At this point, after seeing this game and about 3 other games lost this year, I have come around to the fact that the O's are going to have to trade for a shut down 7th and 8th inning guy. I think that is all they need. But for now they are that ONE guy short of having a BP that can win a WS this year.
