He's a no-brainer for me. He actually doesn't throw a ton of non competitive pitches so although his walk rates are high, it's mostly from batters taking close pitches that they don't swing at because they know they can't hit him. 

If not for the potential work stoppage, he should be pitching in the major leagues now. I still would like to get him used to the major league all in AAA. Not sure what the hold up there is unless their algorithm is holding him back because of his strike percentage.

I think you already know that he is in AAA getting used to the ML ball.

It is time to start talking about this guy. Listed at 6-5, 190, the announcer said last night that he's now 6-7, 270 and let me tell you, he looks every bit of the size.  Bautista has the be

I could not have told you there was a pitcher by that name in our organization.   He’s a little long in the tooth for high A (he’ll be 26 next week), but he looks like a guy who might have found somet

He’s had some rough outings in AAA so far. 

He really just had the one real bad outing.  Seems to be back on track.  I'm starting to envision a power arm packed bullpen at some point next year with Bautista, Burdi, Scott, T. Wells, Bradish, and Peralta.

I hope so, but that’s a lot of inconsistent milb careers that all have to come together at once. I’m a big fan of trading “non elite” bullpen pieces at peak value. I’m sure the Fry implosion hurt Elias a bit. Maybe we could get something for Sulser in the offseason. 
 

Plus it’s pointless to protect current “non elite” relievers and risk losing relievers of the same ilk, that are cheaper/younger, in the Rule 5.

I mostly agree with you about Fry but this team is dead last in ERA again by a pretty decent margin. If you don't get who you want for him, you keep him and try to stabilize the bullpen next year. His implosion came outta nowhere. The guy didn't give up an extra basehit until August 16th. Pretty bizarre year for him.

I agree. Fry has promise, but we’re never going to have a productive bullpen until we have some semblance of a rotation. Until then, any reliever that has any value , should be dealt immediately.

Do you think the O's are going to protect Burdi from the Rule 5?

He's on the 40 man roster so he's protected unless they release him.  Guess it depends on how he looks this month.  

There are bunch of guys on the 40 that may be coming off  IMO.   Abad, Burdi, Ellis, Greene, Matt Harvey, Dustin Knight, Lakins, Mattson, Wade, Watkins, Wynns,  Bannon, Gutierrez, Martin,  and Diaz all have to be in that conversation.

Agreed that all of those are possibilities.  Some more likely than others.

I also think that not too many of those/if any would be claimed through a DFA. Also Severino DFAd and Mancini traded. 
 

I don’t think the 40 man crunch will be so bad this offseason.

lol. He reportedly can touch 100 mph.  If he looks decent, they'll keep him on the 40 man.

He doesn't touch 100, he can sit 100 on certain days. His fastball is the best on the system velocity wise. there is a little doubt he's going to be protected from the rule 5 because he would absolutely be taken.

      Injuries have sucked, the pen has been an issue but is Adley the biggest problem?

      By MDK02 · Posted

      If you want to see how young superstars should play, look at Churios and Merrill. Both big time contributors to their teams in the post season, both players 20 and 21 years of age. Meanwhile, our Jackson doesn’t even get an AB. Something is just off with this organization and their development..

      I agree with some of the opening post. I cannot blame Hyde for this team not hitting. I believe it is completely analytical based. Analytics are against singles, walks, hit and run or bunts.    I know we can pick our guy to be upset with but I will go with Tony Taters. Adley hit a single to RF and with the right effort and baserunning he should have been on third base. Don’t have to talk about the terrible AB with the bases loaded. There was another play with the Massey single in the second that rubbed me the wrong way. The ball was hit 73 MPH and landed 250 feet. The RF wall is 325 feet away so how far is he playing back against Michael Massey? Tony did not strike me of a guy giving it everything he had to get to a fly ball. He basically assumed Mullins would get it and jogged in.

      Sometimes I regret being an Oriole fan

      By OsFanSinceThe80s · Posted

      I would have taken this loss harder in the past guess I'm getting older. Also this team has been telegraphing for over a half season how this season would end. I don't want to hear stats on how many runs this team scored it's a lineup that lives and dies by the home run. The problem is the weather cools in October and the ball doesn't carry as well in summer at OPACY. The Orioles actually got good pitching, but the offense came up small yet again. Elias needs to rethink the types of hitters he has on the Orioles roster and evaluate the effectiveness of having two hitting coaches. There's even an offensive strategy coach and what exactly does he do? "Hey Adley next time you get up the plate try not to make an out".

      Completely agree and there's no reason the O's shouldn't be a serious player for Soto.  Him and one top starter and I'm happy.

      10/2 Orioles vs Royals Wild Card Game #2

      By Marshmellow · Posted

      Add a couple of seasoned professionals who know how to win. Solid players who have been around a while. These young guys are talented for sure, but that’s not enough. They need to learn to play better as a team and know what it takes to win consistently.  I honestly think they get caught up in reading about how good they are, not proving it on the field day after day.

      Except Cruz wasn’t an overpay. He’s the rare older free agent that actually earned his money. By the way, Cruz was the 55th highest paid player when he signed his FA deal after he played for the Orioles. He wasn’t even that expensive.    But that’s just an aside. I understand what you’re saying and your point is valid. I’m just still irked that the Orioles basically punted in that offseason that Cruz walked. I hope they are fiscally brave enough to take the next step and not count on Holliday and Mayo to improve next years team.
