We all understand your argument. The quotes I shared were examples of straw man arguments you were attributing to myself or others. 

No I reject both your comments.

I used your own words to justify my comment, and I clarified that you were refuting something I did not say,  and the argument that you was made in defense of our catchers is a matter of record and not a straw man.

However, going around in circles is never productive, so I’m going to stop here. See you at the game.

Arbitration eligible? What's he going to make 600K? Come on now, him being Arb 1 Eligable in the offseason isn't a reason to DFA him in June.

Put it this way: Sisco was the 61st pick in the draft.   Of the 56 players picked in that spot, only six have had more at bats in the majors than Sisco.   One of those was Josh Bell, who for some reas

I don't agree.

You are right, I should explain. There are some advantages to being up for a few weeks. The Norfolk season runs through September 19 right now. If they can make a playoff run, that would be more important to get that experience than to come be a part of the worst team in MLB. Elias has steadfastly said that he will not compromise the development of young players.

There are no playoffs in the minors this season.

Even if it's like the last 20 games of the year?

The way I understand service time manipulation is AR could be called up this September, but he would be need to be called up later in 2022 to get the extra year of service time.

Also with a potential lockout/strike on the horizon in 2022, the service rules on rookie contracts might be completely changed by next season. 

Service Time and What it Means for Top Prospects

Quote

Service time is simply the number of days that a player has spent on the active major league roster and it’s important as service time is used to determine when MLB players are eligible for arbitration as well as free agency. Starting in 2018, each Major League regular season now consists of 187 days (typically 183 days in previous years), and each day spent on the active roster or Major League disabled list earns a player one day of service time. Interestingly, a player is deemed to have reached “one year” of Major League service upon accruing 172 days in a given season which is obviously less than the 187 day MLB calendar. This comes into play as a Major League Baseball player is granted Free Agency once they have accrued 6 full years of service time at the major league level. That 6 years of service time is a threshold that they have to cross, so hypothetically a player could have finished their 6th MLB season but only have 5.168 years  (rolls over at 5.172) of service time and they would not be eligible for free agency yet. That would result in the organization retaining another year of team control on the player, and the player having to be on the active roster for another season before becoming eligible for free agency.

I understand DFA’ing Sisco, but what I don’t understand is how we couldn’t even get him consistent ABs in the majors this year.  

I’m also further puzzled why we didn’t try to get Dennis Santana from the Dodgers and see if we could do anything to get him right.  Again, another guy who probably just needs consistent innings and a chance.  

A Sisco for Santana swap would have been the perfect change of scenery play for both guys.

They still have time to trade him. I’ve heard a few things here and there about reasons behind this, but haven’t been able to confirm anything yet.

Hyde and/or Elias are still daydreaming about Severino's 3 HR game from 2019.

Thanks.

I think of the Padres as being built on more of an sort-of ad hoc basis, through trades and free agent signings more than high draft picks, all backed by a decision to loosen the purse strings the last couple of years. But that's just a vague impression. Since having no first-round draft pick in 2015, they have picked 8th/24th/5th (three picks), 3rd, 7th, 6th and 8th, and I don't see any of their first-round picks on the 25-man roster yet. (C.J. Abrams is in the system, and there are probably others.)

I will take a closer look when I get a chance.

Weak Bat, and very weak glove.

No place for him on the roster or in the minors.

Not a bad guy, just time to cut their loses.

Thanks. Pretty much consistent with my recollection, though I'd forgotten (or just missed) many of the specifics.

But my point is that, so far as I know, the Astros model of rebuilding has been pursued to completion only by the Astros. Are there any other examples? I don't think the Padres provide one. 

I raise the question partly out of curiosity, and partly because I think the huge differences between Houston and Baltimore, and between the team's situations, make it problematic to copy the Astros' approach.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Passan drew this link between Dombrowski and Elias in his big piece for this week.     That's the basic question before us as Elias has excelled setting it all up...he's playing the highest stakes games now.      Adley's 3.5 years is perhaps ballpark similar to the timeframe the Phillies' great players remain a championship caliber nucleus.     Adley's final 3 years - unless payroll grows, the opportunity for rosters with Burnes-Santander-Kimbrel level supporting players may shrink a little. It's more about ensuring a window doesn't close without a team maximizing its opportunity. In this regard, the Phillies and Orioles are quite similar, though Dombrowski's counterpart in Baltimore, Mike Elias, gets a little more leeway because the Orioles' period of contention is longer than any team's. The Phillies' isn't short, by any means, but every year Bryce Harper (31 years old), Trea Turner (31), J.T. Realmuto (33), Zack Wheeler (34) and Aaron Nola (31) age is a year closer to an inevitable downturn. That's when, as an executive in charge, you push. And when it comes to a willingness to look past what a computer system suggests is proper value and potentially overpay for talent, nobody matches Dombrowski. Robert fits the bill and fills a need.

      Holliday, Mayo or Basallo

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      Since I currently have Basallo 3rd, guess I have to be consistent and say he would go first.  I think Mayo and Basallo have the chance to be absolute impact power bats while I think Holliday has a chance to be a very good OBP guy with some pop.  I'd only say Basallo because he has more risk than the other other two and Orioles seem to be gradually transitioning from catch to 1B (he's basically split time between C and 1B since he was allowed to throw. Saying that, Basallo may have the highest ceiling bat wise of the three.  Mayo is the safest bet because he's major league ready now and has developed that game power now. The arm strength gives him a chance to stay at 3B for a bit but even if he transitions to 1B or RF he'll have value. Holliday hit just .222 in June in AAA but had a .444 OBP because if his ability to draw walks, walks that he might not get with major league umpires until he establishes himself.  Really, I'm not trading any of them, but if I had to, it's Basallo followed by Holliday.

      Keep Holiday and when he’s ready , install him at 2B , keep Westy at 3B , Gunnar at SS and Mayo is our 1B . Then after we’re set at infield. keep one of Urias , Mateo or Norby as our utility backup.  I love Basallo but he’s the one ( if we plan on Skubal) to sacrifice  Just my opinion

      Trade NONE of them!  Keep Holliday, Mayo, Basallo!   (I'd even try to keep Kjerstad too!).   Package Stowers, McDermott, Norby, Bradfield, Beavers and 2 other lower minors guys!

      Outfield PA the rest of the way

      The Cowser talk is interesting. He’s extremely controversial on here for a rookie who is quite literally one of the best defensive OF’ers in the MLB (98th percentile), hits for well above average power, and has been a very valuable base runner too (95th percentile). Maybe it’s because nobody expected his defense to be that great, but he’s not Kjerstad, he arguably doesn’t even need to be a league average hitter to still be a 2-3 WAR guy with his defense/base running. He can certainly be frustrating to watch sometimes and needs to improve in higher leverage situations, but when I think of the best version of this Orioles team, it certainly involves Cowser in the OF. He’s a better player with a higher ceiling and floor than either Hays or Mullins and needs to play to see if he can work through some of his issues. Cowser is not Gunnar, but through 280 PA’s last year (Cowser is at 278 right now), Gunnar was striking out 32% of the time and hitting for slightly less power than Cowser is right now. The rest of the season he struck out 20.5% of the time and hit 17 HR’s. Again, Cowser isn’t Gunnar, but there’s little reason to cut his playing time when his ceiling is being the best OF’er on the team, and his floor is likely not any worse than what they’ve gotten from Mullins the past 2 seasons. He doesn’t need to play every single game but he should certainly be playing more than Mullins and Hays.

      Skubal trade..Kjerstad, Mountcastle, McDermott and Bradfield?

      By cnmilton · Posted

      My point being, injuries happen. It's almost impossible for a team to win the World Series without good pitching. The Orioles need a rotation upgrade to have a chance at the title.
