One way to look at each level is by seeing how much of the talent Elias drafted or acquired through trade/minor league free agency Team           Players on roster      Duquette acquired   Duquet

Thought this might be a fun activity on Mondays when the minors are dark.   Last week, Norfolk went 1-5 against Jacksonville to run its record to 4-14.    They’ve played Jacksonville 12 times alr

I know many will disagree, at least in terms of importance, but I am heartened when the MiL clubs are winning.

Me too. Helps me find something positive with the Orioles struggling and gives me hope.

Norfolk seems to be getting better. I think they could make a run the last two months with some reinforcements from Bowie.

Fatten up the numbers at home one last week?  

Richmond/Somerset 2-week road trip then ensues for Baysox, while next week Norfolk comes home for ye almighty Durham Bulls.   

Let's play the Big Two against them and see what happens.

Seems like the Tides play Durham every other week.   They’ve already played them 16 times with two rainouts to be played later (going 4-12 so far).    They still play them another 19 times!

It blows my mind when people say Elias hasn't done anything.  His first year GRod and cast, on the Bowie team now, were in Delmarva tearing it up.   That was the first wave of talent and they keep winning/improving.  Each year after we have added more talent and more systems to the minors and they continue to get better.  Next year I'd expect AAA Norfolk to start winning.  2023 The Baltimore Orioles should be looking pretty good.  Elias has done an incredible job.

For comparison sake:

2019 Minor League Records

-Norfolk 60-79  (.432)

-Bowie 76-64    (.543)

-Frederick 53-84   (.387)

-Delmarva 90-48    (.652)

 

The numbers have fallen off some since July 4th.   But overall there definitely has been some progress.

2021 comparison

-Norfolk  24-38    (.387)

-Bowie  37-27    (.578)

-Aberdeen  36-30   (.545)

-Delmarva  39-25   (.609)

 

Some affiliates are slightly better, some are slightly worse.   Aberdeen is infinitely better obviously, and yeah hopefully in 2022 we see even more improvement.

You have to look at things other than record, though.    For example, Delmarva was a very old team relative to its league in 2019, 3rd on batter age and 2nd in pitcher age.   Stock a low A team with older players and chances are they’ll do well.  The same remains true this year, as Delmarva is second-oldest in both pitching and batting.

Not sure why you are referencing GRod to make your point.   Drafted by Duquette right?   what did Elias do with GRod to get props

Because that was the team he was on along with his teammates.  Elias' player development system and coaches were put in to place that year

I agree and those are very valid points.  It just seems like a trend is starting to emerge.  In my 30+ years of watching this team, I can't remember success funneling up the system as it has in the last three years.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By KojiSplit · Posted

      – The Blue Jays, whose season is already on the brink, plan to place starter Yusei Kikuchi, catcher Danny Jansen, reliever Yimi Garcia, DH Justin Turner and outfielder Kevin Kiermaier on the trade block. Yet, they still want to make one last run with Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Bo Bichette. They should be staying until at least this winter, if not next summer. – The White Sox have had several teams also contact them about center fielder Luis Robert Jr., but with his struggles, they are considering hanging onto him into at least the winter since he’s under control through 2027. – The Chicago White Sox quietly engaged in brief contract extension talks with ace Garrett Crochet, but with no optimism towards reaching an agreement, the White Sox intend to trade him by the July 30 trade deadline. The White Sox have had 15 teams calling to express interest in Crochet, who is making just $800,000 and is under team control through 2026. The X-factor for suitors will be determining just how much Crochet can help them in the pennant stretch and October. He has already pitched 94 ⅓ innings as a first-year starter, 21 more than his entire career total entering the season, and the White Sox and Crochet already have a firm plan in place to greatly limit his workload in the second half. It’s quite possible that a team acquiring Crochet may have to offer a contract extension for him to lift those innings restrictions in the second half because of the potential of an injury risk. – The Los Angeles Dodgers have already made an offer to the White Sox for Crochet, but it was quickly rejected. The White Sox have informed teams they are seeking young prospects with enormous upside. – The best reliever on the trade market will be Tanner Scott of the Marlins, with Mason Miller of the A’s expected to stay put.

      Who have we been able to help with their control tho? Cano is the only example I can think of. Hall? Not really, at least not enough to start. McDermott? Povich? Still walking too many guys.

      Melanie Newman: Bautista possibly back for September/October?

      By Can_of_corn · Posted

      It's possible but considering he needed a follow-up procedure I think it unlikely.

      Poll - Would you trade McDermott for Scherzer straight up?

      By Can_of_corn · Posted

      I'm sure all the other teams would be willing to let us go first.   I'm not saying something needs to be done now, but waiting is not without risk.

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      This thread is about the trade deadline. I am assuming we would wait and see how Scherzer is doing over the next few weeks. Of course, if he starts to suck that would change my answer.

      2024 Ongoing Lineup Thread

      By interloper · Posted

      Well sometimes guys wake up with something. Mounty did bust it down to 1B trying to beat out a grounder yesterday. Who knows, maybe something got sore. Or maybe he woke up with vertigo.  It's fun to think it's a trade though. It's not likely but there's enough intrigue to make it a tiny possibility.
