FA Target - Jameson Taillon


RZNJ

Recommended Posts

I hope we're fortunate enough for a few years debate on whether or not he is a successful #2 overall pick in the draft!

Within memory double Tommy John guys have existed in my mind as "It's Over" at almost the same level as thoracic outlet guys, but as medical science progresses, he (and Eovaldi also in this class) is among some notable successes even after twice through the car wash.     The going rate is the going rate.

Apart from pedigree snobbery, even after Procedure 2, Cashman paid a fine Roansy Contreras price to get his last two Club years, and he did fine in this division.

Pretty hot market if someone with as meh a career as Taillon can pull down something in the 4/60 range.

The mention of Jon Gray’s 2021 deal is interesting.  Gray had a career ERA+ of 107 in 829 innings going into last offseason.  Taillon has a career ERA+ of 107 in 781 innings.  So, not a bad comp.

    • I know. I'm a hand wringer and a whiner when it comes to this team. I sometimes annoy myself with all this baseball nonsense. But really deep down,I'm still the 8 year old who lived and died with every Oriole game. Still. Im that kid. So when this team was really horrible like for most of the second half, it almost made me nauseous just to watch them lose in all kinds of ways. Then all those injuries in a wave. I really felt they weren't going to make the postseason at all. But baseball is a crazy game, and a light switch can be turned on in an instant. Maybe that Santander walk off HR on Thursday threw a switch. Because Friday night, this was a different team. They still strike out a lot, and Burnes was brilliant, but I feel maybe something is moving. Seeing Coluombe come in and strike two batters out, and Webb, not as good, but good enough with a big lead...and to see Coswer and McCann blast two, and Tony again with a HR...It got my juices flowing. Look maybe they wont play well this weekend, maybe they will. And then the dreaded Yankees might break our hearts.But why think that way now.?Urias is coming, then Westburg, then maybe Mounty, and even possible Grayson at the end . If we can somehow put the pieces together and get our mojo back, and have the players contribute, we maybe, just maybe, might have a little ray of hope.I still think this roster is talented when all our pieces are together, and as good as anyone when we are playing well. So, I'm not asking for a miracle. I'm just asking for a chance to see this team with most of the pieces together again, and compete.Maybe it's even a long shot, but I am still that 8 year old living and dying for a chance to see my boys make me proud. And these are my boys.
    • Velocity was 1.5-2mph down across the board. Movement was good, especially the sweeper. The fastballs worry me at that velocity though... not sure he should be immediately high leverage in the way he used to be.
    • Nicely done. Lol. Yes I remember that with Minnesota. 
    • Is there any chance of the Orioles catching any of the teams in front of them with large crowds over the weekend? 
    • Wells and Cowser are neck and neck in terms of fWAR. Could go either way 
    • Joey Ortiz was in the running for the National League ROY for a while, but there’s too many other guys. However, he will almost certainly be a gold glove finalist, and the Brewers are all very happy to have him. I hope Colton wins, but if the Yankees win the division, as seems likely, I think the national love will go back to them
