Posted by Tony-OH,

I looked at Voth a little closer in statcast after watching him his debut. His fastball has a little above average vertical movement and his curveball actually has plus movement on both horizontal and vertical movements. The biggest change I see is that he was throwing his cutter much more, but he leaves that pitch way too often on the middle of the plate. He was throwing it as much as his curveball but with the Orioles in his debut, he threw just two, one of which was a crappy 91

I posted above a Washington Post article that is literally titled "Why the Nationals’ Austin Voth experiment lasted as long as it did".

Basically, but every executive thinks that they are the smartest in the room and will be the one to fix the guy who is unable to take full advantage of his talent, and nobody elucidates that stereotyp

Add Cal Ripken to the bust list.  He hit about .100 for his first month of ML experience, so he was obviously a bust.

Not even comparable. Ripken was 20 when he came up, Rutschman 24.5. Isn't the whole point of drafting a college player that they are supposed to be much more refined?

Yes we should cut him now after 50 at bats.  Bring this post up again after he has 200 at bats please.

Tony's going to have to work some Statcast magic fo rme to like this pick up.  Really don't mind DFA'ing Sedlock, but I'd want something better.  I see nothing to like.

I don't have a clue on what they see. High spin guy I guess, but his expected numbers are awful, so it's not like he's been unlucky. Doesn't throw all that hard either. Seems like a headscratcher.

I hope Sedlock goes unclaimed.  I’ve always had a soft spot for him.  As to Voth, he’s definitely a longshot to provide any value, but yaneverknow.

If Sedlock goes unclaimed he has to join Norfolk.  This is the first time he has been outrighted so he can't refuse the assignment.

Him or Nevin, I suppose.   

I think they keep Vespi and option either Nevin or Baker.

Note:  Watkins about ready to come off the IL.   He will probably be optioned to Norfolk and pitch in their rotation to keep him stretched out if needed for recall.

Why why Sedlock the guy you chose to cut?  He showed some potential in his stint up here.  
 

There wasn’t someone else with a lower upside and worse long term potential you could have cut?

Fair point. Is Austin Voth clearly a better multi inning relief option than Sedlock?

Diplan, Lakins, Lowther, Nevin, Owings, Sulser and Reyes…those guys are all players I would have cut before Sedlock and likely others too.

Just doesn’t make sense.  Is this really a “I didn’t bring you into the organization” tie breaker decision?  
 

Like how can you keep Diplan over Sedlock?

What’s so good about Sedlock?   He’s 27, has a career MiL ERA of 4.48, 5.04 in AAA, and allowed 5 runs in 3 innings in his one major league appearance.   Diplan is 25, MiL ERA of 3.82, AAA 2.78, 4.04 in the majors.   Neither is exactly Cy Young, but I certainly don’t see a clear case that Sedlock is a better option than Diplan.

He also missed a lot of bats in that debut.  That was encouraging.

And I’m not saying Sedlock is good.  But I would rather see him get more chances.  We have seen Diplan up here and he is cannon fodder.   Perhaps that’s all Sedlock is too but give him more of a chance.

Also, those stats you are talking about happened with Sedlock as a starter.  Make him a reliever and maybe things get better.  We already know Diplan is nothing as a reliever.

But there are also other names that could/should be cut. I like Lowther but no way he gets claimed right now.  Owings is terrible.  Lakins is nothing.  The list goes on.  All of these guys are players Elias acquired.  He seems to give those guys more chances.

      I do remember seeing that Basallo went #1 overall in the winter league draft last year. So that will probably be where he ends up. Heck, that’s probably better competition.

      I don't think it's as lop-sided as you seem to.   Pre-roid it's close to a bump.  30/30 to 40/40 range in those years for Bonds.   Sure Ohtani could be using similar types of supplements result wise but the focused workouts would look different for Ohtani if he's not pitching.

      If you can get him on a 3-4 year deal at $20m or less, it's interesting. But here's the rub w/ Santander: yeah, he's a SH. That's great. And he generally has even splits. But he's not great defensively. He reminds me of a SH Nelson Cruz but without the batting average or OBP. I'm not so sure that ages well. I'd extend the QO and pursue a number of other of other options.  To me, it's better to get the draft pick and, say, sign a guy like Tyler O'Neill, Joc Pederson, or Jurickson Profar as your DH/OF type and maybe give RF to Kjerstad.

      A look ahead to the 2025 payroll

      By LookitsPuck · Posted

      I'm bringing back: Offense/Defense C - Adley SS - Gunnar 3B - Westburg 2B - Holliday 1B - Mountcastle DH - Kjerstad LF - Cowser CF - Cowser/Mullins RF - ? Backup OF - ? Backup C - ? Utility - Urias Starting Pitchers SP1: Eflin SP2: Grayson SP3: Acquire somebody SP4: Kremer SP5: Suarez Relievers Closer: Felix Setup: Cano Late Relief: Webb Late Relief: Coulombe Late Relief: Perez Middle/Long Relief: Akin Reliever: ? Reliever: ? Depth SP: Povich, McDermott, Rogers RP: McDermott I'm bringing back, but not giving a spot to: Mayo Rogers Guys I'm giving a QO offer to: Burnes Santander - I really go back and forth with Santander. He's not great in the outfield. His average and OBP is a liability. But his power is prolific. Does that age well? I don't think so. I'd extend the QO and move on. I'm not bringing back: Mateo - had surgery at the end of August, could he be back in the middle of the season next year? Sure, but he's a FA after next season, and paying over $3m for a guy that might not play nor be effective isn't an adequate use of money Dominguez - I could be convinced to keep him if we're desperate Soto - was a poor acquisition not just because of the talent given up, but because he was always a situational guy with control issues O'Hearn - $8m for a guy that really shouldn't be in the field and can only hit righties is a lot of loot Santander - Give a QO, move on Eloy - Duh This means we need to acquire the following: Starting Pitcher(s) The O's can't go into next season giving Povich a spot and they definitely can not give a spot to Rogers. Rogers needs to be a deep depth arm until he showcases an increase in velocity and/or incredible promise that he can be serviceable and not a WHIP disaster who can barely go 5. Targets: Snell, Burnes, Fried, Wacha, Severino, Morton, etc.  Reliever(s) No more Phillies castoffs. No more waiver wire, dumpster diving for the entire bullpen. No more washed up vets.  Targets: David Robertson, Tommy Kahnle, Blake Treinen, Andrew Kittredge, Tanner Scott, etc. Position Player(s) Backup C (give more time to the backup if a better hitter so Adley can be fresh throughout year) Targets: Elias Diaz, Travis d'Arnaud (although I reckon the Braves pickup his option), Jacob Stallings. I guess if they're desperate they can stick with Blake Hunt (in the minors) Corner OF We could always acquire a bat first OF and then put Kjerstad in the OF. Targets: Tyler O'Neill, Jurickson Profar, Joc Pederson, etc. Backup OF Could be Mullins if they, say, call up Beavers and sign another OF, otherwise these are a dime a dozen out there. Just get somebody that can platoon since it's a heavy LHH OF right now. I'd entertain the O's calling up Beavers.

      I don't think Davis continued to put in the same level of effort on his fitness after he signed the huge deal.

      I think he easily surpasses 3/$55 million in this year's market, so it's kind of a moot point. "QO, take it or leave it" is still my final answer.

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      By OriolesMagic83 · Posted

      I would bet there are people in their mid to late 40's that don't remember the O's World Series win.  My dad wasn't a big sports guy and back then family's had one TV.  I don't remember much about sports before the O's coming up just short in 1982.  Definitely don't remember 1979 World Series even though I was 9.
