Kremer had another good outing in his rehab stint.

 

4IP with 7SO and 1BB, 1 hit

 

I think he's still nibbling too much based on his 60% strike rate though. Would be great for him to become a decent option in the rotation but I'm not holding my breath.

Cross him off the Tuesday-Wednesday possibility list.

End of 2020 I thought he had a nose in front of the Akin-Lowther type guy before MLB Bats lit him up like a pinball machine as they can.    I haven't given up on him yet.

Imagining 1450 playoff-qualifying innings in 2023 I don't think he and Bruce Zimmermann are that different today as candidates to provide some of them.

Struck out 3 in the first but also walked one, gave up a hit, and threw 25 pitches.  I believe he threw about 35 pitches over the next 3 innings and gave up no hits or walks with 4 K's.  I can't remember too many, if any previous AAA appearances that were as impressive as his last two.  He has become intriguing again.

I guess it depends on how we plan to use him.   

I guess the question is, if he pitches well but can only go 4-5 innings his first few starts, is it a big deal?  Probably not.  I was thinking they could have Grayrod go with the idea of Hall or Kremer acting as his piggyback.

Man, it would be nuts to see Hall piggyback a GrayRod start. Would love to see it!

I think we’re just seeing the results and getting a little too excited because of need. The 60% strike percentage is concerning. 
 

What’s his velocity like right now?  I’d rather us try and find the next Akin than the next failed SP. There’s nothing wrong with the next Akin.

I feel like I’m exactly the right level of excited about Kremer right now.  Just happy to see him have three excellent outings after missing the beginning of the season, and happy to see him strong out a ton of guys while allowing very few baserunners.  I don’t see anyone shouting from the rooftops about the guy.

Understandable. Kremer’s lack of success at AAA worries me. If we weren’t so starved for SP he’d likely be left at AAA for a bit to see what can do. Hopefully, he goes the Zimmerman/Akin route and not the Wells/Lowther route.

I think he will be left in AAA for a bit.

Kremer wasnt that bad in Norfolk last year. 4.91 ERA in 62 innings, with a 2.9 BB9 which suggests he can command the MLB ball. If he can get stretched out to 90+ pitches the O's might have another starter option. We'll find out soon.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By eddie83 · Posted

      A player who is a FA after this year TB is not going to care where he goes. That said they only have Armstrong and Rosario. Potentially Maton.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By MDtransplant757 · Posted

      I don't think we really need to trade for CF just because we have so much depth at COF. We could promote Mayo or Kjerstad permanently and just see how they shake out, which wouldn't offensively be as bad as Mullins has been this year. Slide over Cowser to CF if we can't find that good a deal, and then go for anothter SP arm and some more depth in the pen. They don't trade Basallo because (and this is just me speculating) that they could move on from either Mountcastle or O'Hearn in the 2025-2026 offseason depending on if they can get a good return on them, like what we saw Tampa do with Austin Meadows a couple years back and the Orioles have a backup to replace said bat or bats.  In terms of who we go for, I don't really know. I don't like the idea of reuniting with Tanner Scott because his control issues and walk rate are still very present. I'm not in love with the idea of going for Kopech because the numbers and peripherals are average at best.  Carlos Estavez from the Angels, sure but how high is that asking price going to be? Whoever sells come deadline time could be interesting, as teams like the Cubs and Tigers could potentially be sellers come deadline time. Maybe even the mighty Astros who haven't been as good this year could be persuaded to sell off some talent depending on who we make available. It's a little to early to tell as of right now due to a good chunk of the sport sitting at around 500, but who knows at this point?

      Pick your 40 man roster (protect list) for Nov 20th.

      I don’t think it will meaningfully affect who they are looking to deal at the trade deadline. The Orioles will be more inclined to include guys who they aren’t planning to add to the 40 as the last pieces in a deal, but there isn’t a huge crunch that means they NEED to clear 40 man roster space. Of all the guys after Hays on that list, I think Strowd and Young are the only ones who are high probability of being added right now. None of the other borderline guys have much trade value at all. Note Baker is out of options next year, he’s going to have to pitch well the rest of the year to warrant his spot.  I also think Luis González is going to get a look at some point and will ultimately become the new Vespi for 2025, optionable lefty riding the Norfolk shuttle.

      Choices: how many big long term contracts will the O’s be able to afford?

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      Yea, for this season. As I said, any of those guys are capable for a season or 2 but the odds are that they won’t live up to larger contracts and that you don’t want to get into expensive deals with guys like that.

      Good question. I have been so focused on this season I have given zero thought to the 40 Man and Rule 5. I think Santander gets QO and O'Hearn goes FA. We could lose both. I don't really see any young guys that "must" be protected other than Mayo, McDermott, and S. Johnson. D. Johnson is having a nice season as CF is a need but not sure he belongs on the 40 man. Davidson is having a nice season. I could see him taking a deep depth spot to replace Zimmermann.

      I wonder if he could comp with the glove to a guy like Alec Bohm? Big dude, not a great defender, but doesn't kill his team and makes some great plays along the way with the glove while mashing with the bat.

      That's good. By the time he gets back he'll almost 31, so there's some age decline uncertainty to go with the health uncertainty. I certainly won't be counting on him for anything. But you can hope 2 years of light workload (and a reinforced ligament) will rejuvenate him.
