I caught (well got) the ball today. It was a cool moment. I need to get the ball to him because he deserves it.

I wanted to note something I saw in last night's game that showed Adley's leadership qualities.  Hyde came to get Kremer after he allowed the single with 2 outs. Kremer, who was already pitching

With two of the top players in the game they'd be unstoppable!

For a fun exercise - compare Rutschman's stats through 173 games with Buster Posey's first 164 games played (2009 - 2011 seasons).  You will find Rutschman compares very favorably to Posey, if not better.   If the O's get a career similar to Posey out of Rutschman, they will put a statue of him at Camden Yards.  His trajectory is very encouraging, even without the power numbers.

2 year age difference at time of promotion unfortunately complicates a bit this comparison...

Our pitching is awful at holding runners.    He's not Wieters but 99% of those who ever played the position weren't Wieters, either.  

I agree that Adley doesn't have Wieters arm pre-tommy john. But in the much more valuable category called offense, he's sooo much better!

I thought the subject was defense.  Our record this year is based on offense and AR is a huge factor.  Like I already said, I don't think AR is the problem with the steals.  

Our WHIP is 20th in baseball giving the opp many steal opportunities.  Our pitchers can't hold runners.

Wow … talk about being critical. Adley is arguably the best catcher in baseball. Could he be better sure but this is his first full year in the bigs.

Offensively great eye, more walks than Ks and is an above average runner. Could he hit more home runs? I suppose but I believe he will eventually become a consistent 25 homer guy which is amazing for a catcher. 
 

Defensively, I suppose you could nitpick his arm and base stealing percentage but keep in mind that the league has made it so stolen bases become easier this year. Ricky Henderson would probably have 200 stolen bases in today’s game. One thing that is hard to measure is his ability to handle pitchers especially the young staff we currently have.

I for one hope the guy is a career Oriole and never goes anywhere else especially New York!

 Only if you want it to complicate the comparison. 

I mean, I have no real desire to complicate it (though I admit I'm a bit traumatized from Wieters), but it is definitely worth noting though, right?

      No one is trading anything close to that for Crochet. But I agree..spend money, not prospects.

      Trade Target - Jose Quintana

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      That's some high standards.  Sinker ball types are always going to have higher FIPs and lower K rates.  The truth is, Quintana is probably out of our price range.  That price range is probably no more than the standard Lyles/Gibson/Kimbrel/Frazier price range until otherwise seen.   Back to Quintana, I think he's the type of guy that if healthy could be a real weapon for us with our home ballpark and a home playoff game if we ever get deep into a series.

      Austin Hays Appreciation Thread

      That's really the role/opening for next year that we need.  A RHH OF that could play some CF preferably.  Although, I'd lean more to and offensive minded portion of that versus the ability to play CF.  LF is big though at home. I think it's a role that Elias fills through trade, waivers, or maybe even a competition of milb deal types.  Like a RH Sam Hilliard type.

      Yeah, he would be good in the Austin Slater role if he was willing to accept it. Not sure that he would be quite as good defensively in CF, given that he has played fewer than 100 innings total in CF since 2021. I highly doubt that he is ready to accept a role as a platoon player though, given that he is not yet 30, and he was an above average starter by rWAR from 2021-23. I doubt he is tendered a contract, given his $6M 2024 salary. His best bet is probably to sign a one year deal with a team that doesn't hope to compete, to attempt to reestablish himself as an everyday player, while the team that signs him can hope to flip him at the trade deadline.

      I agree. He’d be a great regular season fit in Cinncy’s ballpark. Maybe that confidence of knowing he can hit the ball out to LF at home covers up his other decencies.  As for Crochet… can’t we just resign Burnes?  Crochet would probably cost Holliday, Basallo, and Mayo. Didn’t the deadline teach us the cost of pitching? I’m for trading Mountcastle. I’d hope we can surround the young hitters with a Burnes led staff with adding a vet bat to the DH/1B mix. Other than that, I think we will roll with what we have. And we should.

      Hays will want to start somewhere. He shouldn't start for us. We don't want him sitting on the bench looking dejected while Kjerstad and Cowser are mashing bombs onto Eutaw Street.
