247 wins to 232 losses in the full season season teams.

Ugly 29-62 in the Gulf Coast League.  

The DSL would be too ugly to look at.  Just concentrate on all the player development this year.  We can spend $6.26 million on the next international class on Jan 15, and the top 2 targets have been identified.

I'd rather have 2 teams with good records in the DSL and FCL but if it's a choice of one team with a good record and two teams with bad records, I'll take the two teams with bad records.   Things are turning around at the two lowest levels.   All in all, more good stories than bad this year.

Biggest disappiontments?   Yusniel Diaz?  Hall's injury?    Ortiz and Servideo injuries.   On straight peformance, how many poor stories?   Diaz?  Adam Hall?   Who else?

Good stories?  Too many to mention.

Also, it’s worth noting that the FCL teams were relatively young.   The average hitter in the FCL was 19.9; Black averaged 19.4 (2nd youngest in the league) and Orange 19.7.    The FCL average pitcher was 20.8; Black was 19.9 (2nd youngest) and Orange 20.9.   

So, when you consider that only two major league teams (us and Pittsburgh) split their talent among two teams, and that our teams were a bit younger than most, the poor record in the FCL for each team is pretty understandable.

      At least Turner, Realmuto & Marsh are all out. Not that they've missed them much.

      Yeah Mayo is probably the next difference maker in terms of RHB.

      Whether they have hit recently or not I don't know what else we would expect against a LHP. It kinda sucks that Mateo-Urias and Cowser-Mullins-Stowers are samehanded. If we wanted another RHB in the lineup you could put Mateo in center and then start Urias but I'm guessing he would not be a difference maker for you.

      CoC made no assertion of any of that, so just stop. Here is his post in the 'Cal thinks Holiday moved to fast through the system', which was a response to me saying Holiday needed to physically mature some. CoC - 'At 6 feet and 195 pounds, Holliday’s maximum lift on the bench press has jumped to 315 pounds. He can squat 455 pounds, deadlift 500 pounds and box jump 55 inches — more than 4 1/2 feet.' He got that from this article, which he linked: https://www.baltimoresun.com/2024/02/20/orioles-jackson-holliday-offseason-training-program/ Here is the thread, my post and CoC's are on the first page.

      He looks at every lineup like that. He's been amazing.

      Again, I never said that.  Quite the opposite.  Being too muscle bound can slow down a swing and running, plus make it harder to throw etc.  I think JH is fine as far as his build.  He will grow into his man body soon enough but in no way do I think JH should get muscle bound nor do I think you need to be to play baseball. Can of Corn implied that by talking about JH's huge, and again wrong, lifting numbers.....I did not.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By OriolesMagic83 · Posted

      I wouldn't trade Hollidy, Mayo, or Basallo for Crochet, but would definitely try to come up with a package around Kjerstad.  There is no doubt that Crochet is one of the top 10 arms in mlb, IMO, and  trading him is just a WS kind of thing to do.  Crochet could be that dominant arm out of the pen the O's need this year, and next year, the O's big 3 would be Bradish, Crochet and Gray Rod.  Maybe something like Kjerstad, Povich, some prospect in 20-25 range.  Crochet has probably been the best starter in the majors since some bad starts in early April.  ERA in low 1's since then.
