I see Rodriguez, Rutschman, and maybe Hall/Baumann if they stay healthy, and maybe Cowser...   

 

I know there is a huge 2nd tier that might be good one day (Westburg, Henderson, etc.)...

 

Does that really set us apart?   I imagine every team has 2-3 top guys and a ton of maybe-good-one-day types....   ?

 Neustrom is close in AAA and Stowers in AA. No SP's have really stepped onto the prospect scene this year except for the guys you listed. Hall and Baumann are iffy because of injuries.

Drew Rom is 10-0 with a 3.05 ERA, 1.16 WHIP, 9.7 K/9 2.4 BB/9 at age 21 between A+ and AA.

Great numbers, If he does that in AAA then that will put him on the prospect scene. At least for me. But everyone's standards are different.

We’d be sitting real pretty if Kjerstad and Hall weren’t hurt. 

But they are.   And it’s a problem when two of your top 5/6 guys are not only hurt, but subject to long term questions about their health, which I’d say is true for both players.

We don't know what we have in Kjerstad even if he were healthy.

We have two of the top prospects in baseball, including arguably the top overall prospect, and the top pitching prospect, plus several other top100 prospects. I think some of you all have a skewed perspective of other teams farm systems, if you don't think the Orioles are "upper echelon" (top overall is a different issue)

Kjerstad I think showed up for FCL, but he has a real health issue. It may take him another year to make it to A league. Hall is resting a hamstring but they did play him the other day. 

Kjerstad is down there? Not seeing anything about that or Hall playing.

Two different Halls.   Adam Hall is back to playing, DL Hall is not.   

Kjerstad may be in Sarasota but he is not doing baseball activities yet.

He's completely ignored in terms of prospect status. What does he lack besides above average velocity? Seems to have pitching smarts and said to be athletic.

Would any of the performance programs that John Means attended in the past help with his velocity?

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By OnlyOneOriole · Posted

      I don't think it is really the past 5 games.  It is the next 4 months, potential playoffs, and all of next year that has people concerned.  Remember these elbows aren't just taking guys out this year, but most of next year as well. And Burnes probably won't be around next either.

      It is just a real shame that the Os are going through all of these elbows.  Take away all of the elbows going back to last year with Felix and I would say the Os are a lock to get to the WS and would have a great chance to win it all. I haven't seen this many injuries from a teams top guys in such a short amount of time in maybe.....forever. I am starting to wonder if it is something the Os are doing as far as their training.   Trying to obtain too much spin, revs, and velocity. I am a big Colts fan and for years we have complained about all of the knee blowouts and hammy injuries they get when playing at home.  Finally the Colts realized that it might be turf related from their home field and replaced it this past spring.

      I've been a fan for a long time too but mostly remember a lot of near misses, not tailspin collapses. 2005 comes to mind (Raffygate, Sammy Sosa, Lee Mazzilli, et al.)... what other seasons are you thinking of, to create scar tissue?

      I really like Kremer.  Seems like a good guy and a solid arm. But he is not going to be the guy to get you into the playoffs and he especially won't be a guy between a make or break WS championship.

      We can hope he’s back to being his #5 self, but he’ll now be a #3, and let’s all x the fingers

      The 5 game losing streak is a 5 game losing streak.  I am not too concerned about that unless it turns into something bigger. Every team goes through it.  What I am concerned about is losing 3 starters and 2 great relievers since last August with not a lot to replace them other than Burnes.  And they won't even back for most of next year...if at all. Add in the fact that Burnes is more than likely leaving after this year?  Our cupboard pitching wise is pretty bare as it looks right now. So imo you absolutely need to trade some of your AA and AAA players to get pitching help now and for next year.  This team is too good to waste years on players like GH and AR.

      Trading Drew Rom for Flaherty was not a big swing. It was trading a maybe prospect for a “hope he’s ok” guy with three months before FA. I am increasingly convinced Mike won’t make any bigger move this season, and what we have is basically what we will have.
