The space between Carlos Rodon and Jordan Lyles down to a Baker's Dozen by my reckoning:

Rodon

Senga-Eovaldi-Kluber-Stripling-Taillon-Bassitt-Manaea

Smyly-Wacha-R.Hill-Quintana-Lyles

I would have been ok with Kluber as the secondary piece but not the “main addition.”

Why?  It’s the truth.  Anyone paying attention can see the O’s are in a position to compete for the next several years at a minimum.  I think most players and their agents are pretty sophisticated abo

MLB has a measure of market size called the Revenue Sharing Market Score, that they use to determine the ten smallest markets eligible for extra draft picks.  The O’s rank 21st on that list.  If it’s

I am sticking with my Stripling to the Orioles.

My gut tells me Manaea or Wacha, but Stripling feels pretty plausible too.

Liftoff, baby!

Haha, suckers. We stole Gibson right out from under their noses, now they've had to settle for Walker and his sub-4.00 career ERA and 1.23 career WHIP. 

Weren't you whining about the idea of signing Walker 20 minutes ago?

I think it’s likely Stripling, and Tucker Barnhart for a good defense back up Catcher and ….. I really want Benintendi, but more likely a one year make good deal for Conforto. 

Yep...

Benintendi LF
Rutschman C
Henderson 3B
Santander DH
Mountcastle 1B
Mullins CF
Hays RF
Westburg 2B
Mateo SS

Looks solid to me. Too bad it's not happening...

      Will he get 1 PA in the ALWC series? To put flesh on the bones, say against Lucas Erceg on for a Save at James McCann's spot in the lineup. He is behind all of O'Hearn, Mountcastle and Kjerstad probably on the depth chart, but if you get Ragans out by the 5th or 6th they could all be used before the endgame.

      Can Cowser still win Rookie of The Year over Gil/Wells ?

      By Spy Fox · Posted

      The race is close enough that the run environment should be a factor. In the steroid era or bouncy ball 2019, 15 W/3.50 ERA might be a much better performance than a .242 AVG/24 HR/good defense. Which is more impressive in light-hitting 2024? The whole league hit .243 this year, tied with 2022 as the lowest since... 1968.  I'd probably vote for Gil but I kinda feel like Cowser will win it in a close race. And I'm not sure NY bias is a thing in awards voting anymore with the more online media landscape and more stat-educated voters. When's the last time a NY player won an end of season award they didn't deserve?

      Chris Sale wasn't signed, he was acquired in a trade.

      All of what you posted is why you have to take both dWAR and fWAR with a grain of salt when it comes to valuing defense.  OAA strictly gives you how good a player is at his position vs other players at his position. There is no guessing involved. Now could OAA receive some tweaking, especially with infielders, I think so. I don't think OAA is perfect by any means, but let's say Santana did save his team 12 runs and let's say a SS was at 0 runs saved. Why should he be penalized for playing a less stressful position? In the end he did save runs vs a SS that didn't save or lose runs. I guess in the end you look at all the defensive metrics (OAA, dWAR, DRS) and then make your opinion based off them. I also use my scouting eye and watching most of the games, I'd say Cowser is an above average defensive outfielder with plus arm strength and way below average accuracy.

      A well-kept secret: the O’s rotation has the 6th best ERA in baseball

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Burnes and Eflin were fantastic keeping the team moving forward in a year Felix, Bradish and Grayson were mostly gone. It is fuzzy for me if you combine Elias' team's results in the cases of Albert Suarez and Trevor Rogers if that's a good job or a bad job. Some talk about people like Pivetta, but I don't see a ton of April/May/June demand.     Eflin, Grayson, Kremer, Povich and Suarez leave Rogers, McDermott and Young 6/7/8 already.    Are those guys ever going to pitch? Povich and Suarez showed enough in September it seems worth it to see April. We rarely see a decision Elias doesn't like to defer, and the first half of 2025 will give information how the roster needs to be managed.    How strong is Felix?    What setbacks do Bradish and Wells have?    Can Grayson hold up more than 2 straight months? Elias is building a body of work he'll win the bids for Corbin Burnes and Zach Eflin when necessary, but I don't think this winter is one of those times.

      Lugo is pretty underrated honestly.

      OAA and dWAR are two measure that people use to determine if a player is a good defensive player or not. They absolutely can be mentioned when talking defense. They both measure the defensive ability of a player, though they do it differently. Acting like it some kind of horror to mention them together is one of the more ridiculous stances I've ever seen you take here.  NOBODY said they measure the exact same thing and the EXACT same way, but they absolutely are two measures people use to determine if a player is good defensively.  OAA shows Cowser to be a well above average defensive outfielder while dWAR shows Cowser to be more average. I think OAA in this case absolutely is a better indicator of Cowser's defensive ability.
