Posted by Tony-OH,

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

You keep saying this like it's fact, but are you talking about the Austin Martin with two home runs and slashing .773 in 198 AA PAs while splitting time between SS (.908 Fld %) and CF?  Clearly w

I said last year I preferred Lacy overall, but I understand what Elias was doing when he went for Kjerstad. Unlike some of you, I don't pretend I know everything about these guys because I read a few

You mean there's another one of these ****ing things?

I didn’t even know this one existed.  There is a conversation going on on the MLB board.  I’m guessing that thread is better than this (I haven’t read this one but saw enough to know it’s probably a sh**show)

Total rep to the guy who posted "I feel like the kid who got a Savings Bond for Christmas".   This summarizes how I feel as a fan.   There's nothing wrong with a Savings Bond.  It might even be worth a lot one day.   It just isn't fun or exciting.

When you are suffering through a total rebuild and your team is one of the all-time historic worst teams ever, you kind of prefer fun and exciting...

For me, Rocker would have been "Fun and Exciting".

But who knows?  Maybe 5 years from now Cowser is a quality starter and Rocker is injured or ineffective...

And don't forget the over slot guy will we be adding later in the draft when you make your evaluation in 5 years.

We should merge the 2 Cowser threads.

There should only be this thread. Everyone knows to have the conversation about each pick on the draft thread for each player. any other conversation is wasted.

      I sort of don't get Elias's plan

      I mean imagine having Burnes for 1 single year, and your only other move is Kimbrel. In hindsight it seems pretty ridiculous.

      I'd pitch Tate or Akin over Cano, even Perez or Baker, probably.

      I agree with the OP. Elias seems to have wildly miscalculated his bullpen and overall pitching staff. Bradish and Means should not have been factored into the equation at all given their injuries, and counting on Wells was suspect as well.  He didn't find this year's Danny Coulombe or Cano. No magical waiver claims or trade finds to speak of this year.  Way too much reliance on guys like Perez and Webb, and even Cano, who he should have figured would regress.  Just a lack of action with regards to the pitching. He made two pitching moves in the offseason and 0 that have worked out  so far during the season (the various waiver claims and minor league deals).  What are we doing here exactly?

      5 losses in a row. Baltimore...we have a problem. Thread revisit...O's have no way to win the WS unless...

      If "all in" means there's a legit chance to win a championship... this is "an" all in year, but it certainly won't be the only one.  Elias is not going to sell off half the farm out of desperation, nor should he.   He really needs to add more pitching though, which we all know and which has been true since the beginning of last season.  It will be true next year and probably every year.  In this regard, I'm not thrilled with his efforts to date but there's another huge opportunity in front of him right now.  The Orioles really have to start developing and paying for more pitching going forward because the bats are here and ready.

      IMO, this off season is a time for Rubinstein to prove himself as much as Elias. An owner doesn't make trades and if you are talking about taking on big contracts - takes two to tango. I'm not using this trade delined as an indicator for new ownership, but I am anxious to see how next year's budget/payroll plays out.

      It's low hanging fruit to laugh at the doom-and-gloom crowd, the sky-is-falling Chicken Littles, and the run-for-the-hills Billies.  So, fruit duly plucked. 🤣 However, there is some truth within their pessimistic outlook.  It's absolutely fair to be concerned about our pitching.  Who's to say who is right or wrong in how much concern there should be?  Well, we all have a say.  It's why we're here.  The beloved @Roy Firestone is admittedly the most pessimistic Game Thread poster in history, yet no one questions his love of the O's.  Nor should we berate those with strongly pessimistic views about our chances as being less of a fan.   It's just my two cents, but I think it's readily apparent that we need to add to our pitching and I believe Elias will address it.  A quality starter and a reliever or two would likely do wonders for the team... and our collective sanity.   I just don't feel we'd need to deal Holliday, or Mayo, or Basallo to get there.  Then again, I may be wrong.
