So just thinking about the guys who have been in the rotation this year with multiple starts. Who do you think can be a TOR?

For me Bradish and Kremer look like they have the potential. I like Wells and Voth as mid rotation guys. I think Watkins can be a #4. I did not discuss Grayson or Hall as neither has regular starts yet.

In his last 15 starts Kremer has a 3.07 ERA. Probably goes down a couple points which would be 8th among American League starters obviously not counting his previous starts.

If he’s at a 3.07 ERA this time next year and his FIP is close, we can talk about it. 
 

Enjoying the ride right now though.

Kremer just doesn’t strike out enough guys, especially in this era, to be anything but a 4/5 guy long term. But that still has value. I think Bradish has slightly better potential, like a #3. 
 

That said, we all know this is often fleeting. We’ll be fortunate if one of them can be a long term SP.

I like what I e seen from Bradish and Kremer, but I think we should “hope” they can fill out the back end of the rotation.  Wells looks to be ahead of them.  G-Rod and a few FA acquisitions and we should have a good number of starters to choose from.  One of the things I would like to start seeing next year is a smaller number of starters throughout the year.  If we have a 5-man rotation let’s try to get them each 25+ starts.  We can do this by building depth and competition.

No, not close.

Different people have different concepts of what TOR means.  If a guy who can throw to a 110 ERA+ and be in the top 40 pitchers in IP meets the definition, I think there’s potential for Kremer or Bradish to do that.  If your definition is more exclusive than that, then maybe not.

To me a TOR starter is a guy that can pitch 30 starts,  average 100 pitches a start,  allow somewhere around 3 runs per game.  Average 6+ innings per start.  Allow less hits than innings pitched.  Can strike out a batter when he needs to.   Its the consistency that makes a TOR starter.    

The O's have the defense to support starters achieving his goal.   I can't say that Grayson, DL, Kremer, Wells, or Bradish do not have the ability to achieve this.  Its within the realm of possibility.  But they have to do it.

I agree …. I’m saying potential SG said none of them which is harsh imo. He mentions Hall and G Rod. I think everyone can agree on the potential of those guys but Grayson hasn’t gotten here yet and we all know our history with success of our Calvary guys reaching that potential. As far as Hall he has all the stuff but it will take some major adjustment to get his control where it needs to be to reach that potential.

Some of that stuff is outside the pitcher's control.

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      By 1fingerwillie · Posted

      Baltimore and DC surrounding population around 9 million. NYC around 24 million.

      This is accurate based on pockets.  But the Yankees have positive Cash Flow even with the huge payroll, because they are the richest franchise in the MLB.  The fact that the owner can fund higher salaries is certainly important, but it isn't the same thing as team revenue.

      These two paragraphs are not congruent.  I disagree that the Orioles have to resign Burnes.  I think they should be in on him, but they don't have to sign him. I completely agree that if they do not sign him the have to have another TOR.  I think counting on Bradish to return is a poor decision.  You hope so, but planning on it would be weak.  Same with assuming #2 status for Rodriquez.  His case is stronger of course, but still.  We have some depth IF we have a TOR and that should be Burnes or someone comparable.

      What about Tomoyuki Sugano for 2025?

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      There are several. Snell, Pivetta, Bieber (depending on structure of the contract), Nick Martinez (swing type guy) and Heaney.  May be others. This is off the top of my head.

      I think this is correct but I would say it differently.  I think Elias has done a great job constructing the organization and making it one of the top teams, complete teams, in baseball.  That was a huge hurdle from where he started and that has been a major success. Getting from a top MLB team to a successful playoff team may seem like a small jump but it is pretty large.  And Elias has been tentative at best at trying to make those changes.  He has taken an incremental path in hopes of maximizing his long term potential.  So far that really hasn't had much success.   But like Elias, we really should not assume that the changes needed to make that seemingly small jump from AL East contender to WS contender will not require some pretty big things.  I don't know if that is really different than what you are saying.

      It was never in hindsight. The Os were always against it. We had the numbers. We knew how bad it was going to effect the team.   That is why the MaSN deal was structured the way it was. It benefited the Os for a reason. That was essentially the compromise to having the team move to DC.

      ALWC Game 1 Attendance

      By JR Oriole · Posted

      The Mets just had more exciting wins in one week than we had in four months.  I called us the Dull Orange Machine a few weeks ago for a reason.  Really boring team most of the season, with no personality at all.  They seemed to have a "get knocked down, stay down" mentality, which isn't fun to support as a fan.  There are a lot of very good reasons noted here as to why attendance wasn't great, but the energy around this team and the organization is just low and that can't help.  And a slow and boring offseason that doesn't move the needle much won't help attendance heading into next season either.
