Posted by Tony-OH,

Is Tyler Wells a long term answer in the starting rotation? that's the question was have to ask ourselves and while the 3.71 ERA through his first 10 starts this year is pretty good, let's look at the numbers a little closer and see if it's done with mirrors or sustainable success. The first thing we have to remember is that Wells is almost 28 years old (August). I know we all think of him as being so young because he was rookie last year and a rule 5 pick, but Wells is older than Zimmerman

Joan Jett is apparently a big Orioles fan and lists Tyler Wells as her player to watch this year in this fantastic article from Spin magazine (is it still a magazine or just a website?) where 108 musi

Or add a rotation piece in free agency that is more than a guy fighting for the fifth spot.

Yes, and against their first tier guys. He struck out Bichette, Guerrero, T Hernandez, Gurriel and M Chapman at least once.

Yes.  Looking forward to seeing if by June he can be extended to >5 innings per start.  Could be a diamond in the rough as a starter.

It will be interesting to see how they manage his innings.   If you look at his minor league track record, the most he ever threw in a year was 119 back in 2018.  (He did throw 139 combined between college and the minors in 2016.)  He missed 2019 with TJ surgery, missed 2020 when there was no MiL season, then threw 57 innings last year.  My guess is they won’t push him past 120 or so.

I think he's likely to end up on the IL at some point and make the question moot.

Whatever the lowest amount of innings that you possibly think would be his limit and then minus 10 innings with this regimes extreme view on usage.

Ah, Tony’s on a rampage now!   😆

Who throws the fewest innings, Wells, Hall or Baumler?   I’m guessing 120, 100, 80, barring injuries.

Wouldn’t it be nice if, with Hall and Wells having caps on their 2022 innings, we were wondering how we are going to stretch out their innings so they’re available for the postseason! I’d love to be back in that mindset. 

We can have that wish for 2023.  They will probably still have an innings cap.

Just frustrated. The Tides season is starting tonight no Rodriguez. Hall and Baumler stay in extended. Rom in AA. They are just very frustrating in how they want to SLOWLY develop their pitching. I would absolutely hate to be drafted by the Orioles if I were a pitcher. You know you will barely pitch, have strict pitch limits, and move very slowly through the system. 

As a fan it sucks because I want to see these guys in Baltimore or hell, at least on opening night of their affiliates, but alas the Orioles could give two hoots about whether their fans are getting excited or not.

I’m seriously surprised if there isn’t pushback from the affiliates. I’m sure they’d like to put some butts in the seats now that they have some noteworthy prospects. I mean, our longtime AAA affiliate fired us. 

MLB b****-slapped the minor leagues in the past couple years and let them know who is boss.  They know better than to try to give MLB any sass now.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      Teams also mentioned include the Orioles. I’m surprised Seattle wasn’t higher. Despite the rain, it’s a beautiful area.

      It's hard for me, an old timer, to balance Frobby's OP - "Looking into the dugout at the team we have" - with this crap. I just try to ignor or mute all this money grabbing greed from both the Union and Owners - and focus on the sport and team I love. I hate the partnership with betting and all the in your face advertizements. But, that is where we are in 2024. Can't wait to see THE PATCH on the awful (in my judgement) city connect unis. Old saying - "The clothes make the man." Not any more. Thankfully, they don't make the team.

      The difference between the two teams is the Cards have a long history of being one of the best-run franchises in baseball, the O's were coming off historically bad seasons. The Cards will try to get to the playoffs this year if they are still close to a WC berth at the deadline.

      I agree.  But that was not Malike point.    His point was that the O's were in it until the last few games of the 2022 season.  And I said they traded Mancini and Lopez at the deadline anyway. In some ways the Cards and the 2022 O's are in similar situation.   Two .500ish teams that probably will not go deep into the playoff if they make it.  Elias philosophy is/was that if you don't think you can go deep in the playoff sell at the deadline.   What will the Cards do?

      It appears we'll have to acquire our talent from trades, the players voted in the MLB 2024 player poll today and nobody likes the O's. It was just more than 100 players interviewed about evenly split between the AL and NL.

      One thing I love about baseball in general is the history, and no team prostitution. Then we got the naming rights lunacy, and we no longer go to Comiskey park, it’s Guaranteed Loss field…oops..Guaranteed RATE. But before that it was US Cellular field. And next season it will be “whoever pays up field” And now putting advertising on uniforms. It’s tawdry. It’s cheap, and I hate it. And it means not a thing to the day to day operations, nor will it result in a couple extra bucks being offered to anyone.  Please Lord, let the park’s name remain not for sale.

      I have brought up Taylor Ward (30), as have others, regarding thinking he'd be a solid addition.  I look at Ward and think, quality corner outfielder, a solid right-handed bat, and under control another two and a half seasons. All true, but my heart tells me that since Hays is a younger, and somewhat similar comp for Ward, Elias will stick with Hays.  Yet, if Hays reverts back from his recent surge and stinks in the coming weeks, that could change Elias' mind.
