My Initial take:
Looks like Elias is going with someone who can move quickly through the minors and be able to get and produce at the major league level quickly. While scouting takes on Cowser are a bit all over the place, he's a three year producer even though his conference is not very strong. He appears to be a high OBP guy with some pop and speed and even if Mullins is still center, he would like real good in Camden Yards spacious left field.
He appears to b a lower risk guy thoug
I like the strengthening the BP plan, but not sure how you do this. Also there are other ways to win as per Texas last year, who traded for Montgomery at the deadline (absolute Brilliance) as HE and Evaldi came up huge in the post season. BP addition was Chapman, not sure anybody is saying go after him as an upgrade to the BP. Texas BP did have thier moments last year in the post season but nowhere like the above mentioned starters, and most importantly they came up there swing those bats. Just Saying
Urias looks pretty cooked too though, and he's not providing the kind of defensive flexibility that Mateo is, and he doesn't have very good splits for platooning. At least for 2023 and 2024 Mateo has had good platoon splits.
SSS but Holliday was playing incredible defense after like the first game or two when he seemed to have some jitters. He had +3 OAA in a very short span. Mateo has looked a little awkward at 2nd to be honest, and he's not the best at making the double play turn.
