Short lefthander with a 96 MPH fastball, a plus slider and who will flash a change occasionally. Obviously the walks are the issue and why he was DFA'd. May have the major league yips a bit since he doesn't have awful walk rates in the minors. 

Still, if I'm going to take a chance on a guy, the stuff is there for him to be successful, but he needs to find that control.

Add Mateo, Guiterrez, Urias, and Rico Garcia, it’s almost like we didn’t sit out the int’l market for 20 years. Lots of guys with high ceilings. This is what a team coming off a 110 loss season should do. Pitching wise, our org might be comparable to an expansion team after 1 year of being in the league. 

Perez was the Astros’ #9 prospect in 2019, per mlbpipeline  

With the #1 waiver position, it’s going to interesting to see who is at the bottom of the 40 man. Is it Martin and/or Nevin, or Mattson and the failed SP group? 

I think we’re going to really see Elias put his stamp on this 40 man this offseason and cast off some of the previous regime’s baggage.

How many guys has he picked up now that were in the Houston org when he was?

I mean there's nothing wrong with it but when it happens over and over you start wondering if it's just a bit lazy perhaps?  There are plenty of fish in the sea, you shouldn't always be going back to the same spot to cast your net,or some such mixed metaphor.

By my count not many. I wish he would get more. Instead we have like 7 former Angels’ prospects.

If he’s got the major league yips, Baltimore is the perfect spot for him.

It appears we'll be doing some 40-man trimming prior to the Rule 5. Some of those trimmings could be any of the guys we've claimed so far, too. 

I wonder if the Orioles do not believe there will be a Rule 5. Or at least they are hedging if that turns out to be the case.

Might as well hedge, sure. I like the idea of using all the roster spots until you need the space because you never know, you might sneak a few guys through waivers, etc.

It's definitely hedge and let's face it the Rule 5 draft is one of the highlights of every Orioles offseason in recent years. If there is a work stoppage on December 1st, then the Rule 5 draft gets delayed or doesn't happen at all.

      Where are the pollyannas?

      By Hank Scorpio · Posted

      I too was *this* pissed off yesterday. I'm sympathetic. But the reality of the situation is that Kansas City played out of their minds defensively and baseball happened.  Now, this was a microcosm of the second half of the season and that's just a fact. They dealt with injuries, just like every team does... they just didn't deal with them very effectively. I'm not sure if casting blame upon the hitting coaches or Hyde really holds any water for me. But I understand the desire for a scapegoat. It was REALLY hard to watch batter after batter trying to hit a 13 run home run on pitches that weren't really all that close to the strike zone. They were way out of their lanes and it was patently obvious that panic was setting in. I felt like it was a basketball game and Hyde needed to call a timeout or something. Like they needed to be snapped out of it or something, maybe by something drastic like, oh, putting Jackson Holliday in there for an at bat in an important spot.  They hit a lot of balls at guys, they swung at bunch of BS repeatedly. I saw it from Mountcastle, Santander, Henderson, Cowser (embarrassingly so), McCann during game 1, Rutschman too.  The only thing I could maybe blame Hyde for is not successfully alleviating the panic. Baseball's different though... I'm just a slapdick fan, I have no idea what the realities of his job are. But that lineup needed to find a way to relax and the further the game went the more they freaked out. It was the opposite of a loose dugout. It was fear, panic and foreboding doom. Is it even possible to snap that group out of it? I dunno. The veterans were the ones (other than Mullins) that were pressing the most. I think I would have found a way to get Holliday or Kjerstad some meaningful at bats. Yeah, maybe that's Monday morning quarterbacking. Maybe they would have reacted the same way the rest of them did.  They couldn't have been worse...

      Ok I’m changing this a little. Don’t know O’Hearn is worth the 8 mil.. Maybe we can replace. I’m actually pretty juiced at the potential of this and all of these guys are overdue for regular ABs together.    CF Mullins 3B Westburg C Adley SS Gunnar LF Cowser DH O’hearn/Mayo 1B Mountcastle  RF Kjerstad 2B Holliday Util: Mayo (regular DH platoon, spot starts in the field, Mateo (speed/defense)

      Honestly, they need to fix the right field wall too.  It is too ridiculous and screws with the right-handed hitters.  Move it in 10 feet and lower it a bit.

      The Royals

      By LookitsPuck · Posted

      I said it before, and I'll say it again. This Royals team is entirely a function of their starting pitching (Ragans, Lugo, Wacha, Singer) and their recent BP arm pickups/conversions (Erceg, Bubic, Lynch, etc.). Their offense is basically Witt, Pasq, and Perez. I was pretty confident that the O's could shut them down going into this series, and they did. They only scored 3 runs. And none of their run scoring hits were all that amazing...if at all. The issue, of course, was the offense. Was that because of the pitching? Personally I thought Ragans looked hittable. He pitched better than Lugo, but the O's came up tiny in RISP situations. Same as yesterday. Ragans and Lugo mostly pitched out of the zone, and the O's just were aggressive. So, in this regard, give the credit to the Royals scouts and analytics teams. They knew exactly how to pitch to Santander: up, up, up. They knew exactly how to pitch to Cowser: low changeups. They knew exactly how to pitch to everybody not named Cedric Mullins. This Royals club is half decent, and if this O's club was the 2023 team, they shellack them. Alas, here we are. Think the Yankees are going to railroad these guys if they aren't rusty.

      He was developed according to the Orioles'  development plan.

      Ryan Mountcastle avoiding getting hit in his dick with a pitch while trying to hold up his swing was infuriating.

      For the most part, no. The biggest thing a manager does is the culture they set and what they do off the field.  By all accounts, the players like Hyde, the culture is good and the team is happy with him. Now, if there is something there that we don’t know about, by all means make the change. However,  if every report is true, I see no reason to make a change. That’s making a change just to make a change. I would rather focus on the on field than assume some ceremonial change at manager is going to matter. Its been studied and we have talked about it a lot but in game strategy is so similar that its really only a game or two in terms of “manager WAR”.
