For the same reason I mentioned. The biomechanical toll that pitching in the high 90's takes on the elbow. Whether it happens in AAA or early MLB... it has the same impact on the pool of talent. Slides it all up. -
I never said it's becoming unglued. Reading is fundamental. I said if we don't make moves I could see things unraveling. -

The issue is 3 of those issues were known before February, and weren’t addressed -

I think the main reason for this is the number of ML players who have had serious injuries in the last two seasons. Anyone close to major league ready has been called up. -
You have to admit this is kind of nuts. These are the top pitching prospects in baseball. How many Orioles do you see? 1 Paul Skenes RHP PIT 9 Yoshinobu Yamamoto RHP LAD 21 Cade Horton RHP CHC 23 Andrew Painter RHP PHI 31 Jackson Jobe RHP DET 39 Jacob Misiorowski RHP MIL 55 Chase Hampton RHP NYY 56 Mason Miller RHP OAK 59 AJ Smith-Shawver RHP ATL 60 Drew Thorpe RHP SD 64 Hurston Waldrep RHP ATL 65 Tink Hence RHP STL 67 Dylan Lesko RHP SD 68 Brock Porter RHP TEX 70 Rhett Lowder RHP CIN 75 Mick Abel RHP PHI 83 Noble Meyer RHP MIA 84 Jared Jones RHP PIT 87 Chase Petty RHP CIN 94 Cade Cavalli RHP WAS 103 Jack Leiter RHP TEX 113 Daniel Espino RHP CLE 123 Ben Joyce RHP LAA 129 Gavin Stone RHP LAD 132 Connor Phillips RHP CIN 133 River Ryan RHP LAD 136 Christian Scott RHP NYM 141 Tekoah Roby RHP STL 145 Blade Tidwell RHP NYM 147 Wilmer Flores RHP DET 148 Orion Kerkering RHP PHI 150 Nick Frasso RHP LAD 152 Bubba Chandler RHP PIT 161 Chase Dollander RHP COL 164 Landen Maroudis RHP TOR 165 Ty Madden RHP DET 166 Ben Brown RHP CHC 172 Emerson Hancock RHP SEA 176 Will Warren RHP NYY 177 Owen Murphy RHP ATL 181 Carlos F. Rodriguez RHP MIL 183 Nick Nastrini RHP CHW 186 Spencer Arrighetti RHP HOU 189 Luis Morales RHP OAK To me, champions have great pitching and defense. Our pitching is a mess right now.

FWIW... I don't see anything coming unglued at all. I am talking about strategic rather than tactical observations. (I suspect you weren't including me in the admonition, but I thought I'd clarify)

Ah... sorry... your bolded was buried in the hidden part of the quote window in my browser, so I missed it. And yeah, I would agree. There doesn't seem to be a monster surplus of promising AAA arms. I'd suggest maybe two reasons for this. 1) It serves to reinforce the idea of quality pitchers being harder to judge than quality position players. 2) It is somewhat indicative of the toll that bio-mechanics imposes on pitchers being coached into the high 90's That said, the smaller selection pool of pitchers should be somewhat offset by the larger pool of position players you've hoarded, if you've employed the strategy well. Making you the queen of the trade deadline dance. I think our bigger problem has been holding on to our journeymen MLB players after they've had a good year, instead of trading them at peak (rather than a true lack of AAA or even AA arms). To be successful at this you have to have to courage to be a seller at the deadline even when you have a winning record and are a contender.
