Thoughts on Voth @Tony-OH, from a scouting point of view?

From a stats point of view I'm not really seeing anything that's saying "fluke" or "regression to the mean pending," he looks more or less like the real deal, better than Wells (statistically), who we give a lot of plaudits around here.

The Orioles are 8-2 in games Voth starts, and he's now gone 5+ three times in a row after doing it just once in the first seven starts.  The bullpen seems to be getting more credit but the out of

He's been talking a lot about the shape of that curveball during today's game too.  Baseball Prospectus had an article on why Voth is succeeding with the Orioles while failing with the Nats and o

When the Orioles were in their 1966-83 heyday, it seemed like we were always getting players from other teams who played much better once they were in an Orioles uniform.   Guys like Don Buford, Mike

A nice start wasted by the usually reliable pen.

Speaking of that, does anybody know when Wells will be back?

He pitched in rehab Sunday for the Baysox, and was still on their roster on Tuesday when I last checked.  It was a good outing, 2.2 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K.

That's Alexander Wells that pitched in rehab for Bowie.

I would GUESS that @O's84 was asking about Tyler Wells, given that we miss him much more than Alexander at the major league level, he was kind of our ace after Means went down.

But who knows, maybe he was asking about Alexander.

Anyway, the last I heard on Tyler was that he just started playing catch within the last copule days.

Oops, of course. 

It's been that kind of a screwup day for me, and not just here.  I should probably go take a nap.

Every time Voth or Kremer has a good outing, the likelihood that the O's pick up Lyles' option falls.  I'm to the point of thinking that the O's just need to get one good FA starter this offseason, let Lyles walk and otherwise go with what they have.  If they have more money to spend, get a middle of the order bat at 1B, corner OF or DH.

I'm with you if the TOR SP is a truly significant add, like a Verlander on a huge $$ short term contract or someone like Brandon Woodruff/Corbin Burns/Zac Gallen/Shane Bieber. 

And deal Mountcastle if a reasonable offer presents itself and spend for a highly productive 1B/DH combo. 

And it could very well be that their analytics see something in Lyles that causes them to renegotiate his next year to 2-3 years at a lesser overall average salary cost and keep him too.

Wells, Voth, Kremer, Grayson, + FA signing with Spenser Watkins as our 6th SP (probably want to go with a 6 man rotation with Grayson and Wells) would be my idea.

Definitely don't see the need for Lyles, with Means eventually coming back, and also Hall (and Povich?) waiting in the wings and hopefully continuing to develop.

Completely forgot about Bradish. Who's the odd man out if we sign someone in FA or bring someone in via trade?

      Anthony Santander 2024

      Santander does exactly ONE thing very well: Hit HRs He doesn't hit for average, he doesn't get on base, he's a very slow runner, and he is a very poor defender. If he stops hitting HRs so often, his value completely evaporates and his contract basically becomes dead money, and the Orioles cannot afford to eat large amounts of dead money like the Dodgers, Mets, and Yankees of the world. I am simply using Trumbo, whose basic tool kit is very similar to Santander's, as a fairly recent, Orioles-related cautionary tale. Trumbo had his big walk year with the Orioles at age 30 and instead of doing the smart, obvious thing and taking the free draft pick, we gave him a big money extension that everyone except the FO knew was probably going to end poorly. Baseball Savant has Santander in the 22nd percentile in terms of overall fielding value. However you want to slice it, he isn't going to make up any lost value from declining offense with his defense. If his ability to slug goes south, the whole contract goes with it, because he has no other tools to make up for that with.

      Santander is -2 OAA this year. He’s averagish to below average. There but there are much worse defensive right fielders such as Adolis Garcia and Castellanos -9, Lane Thomas and Renfroe -8, and Soto -4. Acuna and Tatis are also -2 OAA.  In 2016, Mark Trumbo was -15 OAA. They’re not even in the same universe.

      Anthony Santander (age 27-29): .245 / .317 / .477 / .794    124 OPS+   9.0 rWAR Mark Trumbo (age 27-29): .244 / .299 / .443 / .742   105 OPS+  2.6 rWAR Is it really very meaningful that Trumbo was the better player when they were significantly younger? 29-year-old Santander is a better player by miles than Trumbo at the same age, and he has been for years. I think that’s what matters most to how you’d project them over the next few years.

      I love Tony and I honestly think we are gonna miss his veteran leadership as much as anything. I’m very happy we have him for this year. But I do think he’d be a bad long term investment.

      He’s the best player in history. No one can convince me otherwise.  I didn’t say he has the most records or the most counting stats or the most MVPs. That’s not what I said.  He’s just the best player in baseball history.

      Trumbo was a DH impersonating a fielder, Santander is just a very poor fielder. It's not a perfect comp (is there really even such a thing?) but he is an absolutely relevant comp for this team in this situation. He is the poster child for why taking the draft pick and moving on is the right choice. And Santander is still a bad fielder, just not quite Trumbo-tier.

      To this end I feel like we always had a pretty short leash with him. From the first three starts as an oriole to the yo-yo-ing this year. I would have preferred we just left him in the #5 starter role and see what happened. And maybe he’ll get that opportunity elsewhere like you said, whereas here it always seemed like his role was changing.
