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.

      Snell vs Burnes

      By OsFanSinceThe80s · Posted

      I also went with Burnes because of his better durability. Since 2019 Snell has pitched more then 128 innings in a season one time (180 innings in 2023). While Burnes has pitched over 167 inning or more every season since becoming a full time starter in 2021. Burnes is also two years younger so in theory while a six year contract is riskier it would end at the same age as Snell on a four year deal. I'd be happy with either one, but my preference in Burnes.

      Adding that I would go for Roki over either of them.

      I'd go for Snell. He has true Cy Young stuff. Burnes is really good but his K rate keeps dropping and the years scare me. The box score for his playoff start was solid but he actually gave up a lot of hard contact. I just don't trust him enough to commit all those years and dollars.

      I go Burnes because to me the higher floor is very important with this sort of deal. I feel like Snell's skillset is more on a razor's edge-- if you didn't like how Burnes pitched in August, Snell is almost certainly more prone to stretches of poor performance like that. Even if he is more dominant at other times to balance it out. Plus, the extra length of Burnes' deal is offset a bit by being 2 years younger.

      Snell is injury prone and Burnes is a tough workhorse.

      Didn't see the video? The ball went maybe 15 feet before it bounced, it was rolling by the dugout.  It was nothing and the Dodgers look soft. Was he supposed to let the discarded ball stay on the field?

      Rojas pulled from the bases in the 3rd inning after he couldn't manage 2nd to home on a Mookie single (and Ohtani couldn't 1st to 3rd behind him) as the Dodgers try to dig out of 6-1.    Rojas' limited mobility hurt the Dodgers defense on a Bogaerts ground ball where Merrill was too quick going first to second, and Rojas ended up getting no outs on a routine ground ball. Manny with a cagey zigzag baserunning move during the Padres 6-run inning off Buehler, getting into Freeman's throwing lane to put Buehler into the jam. Teoscar grand slam brings it back to 6-5 in the 3rd inning...get your popcorn ready.
