July 30: the post-Galvis era begins in Detroit


SteveA

Recommended Posts

Gametime:  7:10 pm

Roster MoveAnthony Santander reinstated from Covid List, Thomas Eshelman optioned to Norfolk.

Deadline deals:  Orioles made no deals or moves that affect the MLB 26 man roster.  They traded Freddy Galvis, currently on the IL, to Philly, and claimed LHP Ryan Hartman from Houston on waivers but as far as I know he has not been assigned to the major league roster or to Norfolk yet.  (Santander coming off the Covid list and being added back to the 40 man roster took the 40 man spot vacated by Galvis; so the Orioles will have to make another 40 man move to add Hartman.   I guess they have a grace period to do so).  And the Orioles sent Shawn Armstrong, who was not on the 40 man roster and who was in Norfolk, to Tampa.  The Tigers dealt reliever Daniel Norris to Milwaukee.

I don't think many teams were looking for a 1B/DH bat.  I don't count the Yankees, because they needed a LH bat.  Red Sox, Brewers were the only other teams that went in the direction.  I don't know what Boston gave up for Schwarber.  Would it have been a good haul for Trey?  Milwaukee picked up Tellez and Escobar and I do t think they gave up a ton.

I thought that the Padres would be interested.

True or False?  Miguel Cabrera is one of the top 20 hitters of all time?

I'm gonna go with False.

You can probably quibble with a few of these but I'm sure I'm also leaving plenty off that deserve to be on.  This is total steam of consciousness and I will also bypass Negro Leaguers even though they are officially major now: 

Ruth Aaron Mays Mantle Musial Murray Brett Bonds Williams FRobinson Palmeiro Greenberg Reggie Schmidt ARod Vlad Trout Pujols GriffeyJr Boggs

That's 20

Who ya gonna knock off that list ..and I didn't include Clemente Yaz Ott Gehrig Kaline Hornsby Cobb Gwynn Bagwell and a slew of Negro League stars

First thing I did when seeing the post was to bring up his and Manny Ramirez's stats.

I think Manny had him as well, and both 19 years in.

Agree. Cabrera ranks 51st among the  career leaders for OPS+.

    • I completely agree with this.  Most of this damage has already been done.  Travel teams have ruined many kids and have left others far more susceptible to injury in the minors and majors.  
    • I only heard Mel Proctor when he was working the Rangers games, and I really liked him. I don’t remember whether he worked with Dick Risenhoover or Mark Holtz, but I think he worked with Mark Holtz, although he was on his own for a little while, but I really liked him.
    • Just getting caught up here, so my first reaction to trading JW is NOOOOOO! However, I think most people around baseball would have to agree that he's a dude. He's become my favorite Oriole just because of his approach at the plate and also his workman-like attitude. Leaving out my preferences and putting on my front office hat I have to admit he would be attractive to other teams for his ability to play three positions in the IF and his steady performance with the bat. And unlike Holliday, he's proven himself.  While Holliday is the more high profile guy to other teams I'm not sure he's seen as more valuable. JW can play SS-has the arm for it-and he's versatile. I think Holliday could learn to play 2B but has neither the arm for 3B or SS. He likely has more range and as earlier stated by another poster, some team may want to try him at SS. Maybe that works, maybe it doesn't.  I feel like I'm making the case to keep JW and trade JH. Back to the question, which guy gets the Orioles what they need to be the favorite going into the playoffs? Number one pick or a guy who's a ML starter right now? Let's set that aside, maybe it's either one. Can either of them get us Skubal in the right package? Yes. That's the guy who IS a ML pitcher and who will move the needle. What's the package? Elias has earned some level of baseball knowledge with the Burnes trade and the trade that sent Bundy to the Angels when Elias first arrived. That one was even more evidence of his ability to read the tea leaves. So, I trust he'll make it work. I may not like the immediate results (i.e. trading Westy or Kjerstad), but if he can get Skubal in the right deal I'd make the deal. But Scherzer is a good back up and won't cost nearly as much.
    • 39 Yacqui Rivera - he was the PTBNL in the Scott/Sulser deal along with the comp pick.  Juan Nunez - he was the 3rd piece in the Jorge Lopez trade with the Twins along with Povich/Cano/4th piece
    • Yes of course, that was a typo. Westburg at 3B and Mayo at 1B
    • Matt Olson comes to mind but yes an extension is not relevant to the conversation.
    • One game or series at a time. Keep the players fresh with an off day with rotating basis . This summer heat is no joke
