I can strike out against anything.

Been an O's fan since sitting in the bleachers at Memorial Stadium as a pre-teen in the 70s. Thought I'd make my first post about just placing $75 on Cano to win the AL Cy Young 😛 (pays $15,000).

Yennier Canó deserves his own season thread after his clutch outing tonight. Hyde has no reliable setup arms in the bullpen and he turns to the new guy Canó in the seventh inning clinging to a one run

Yea.but the question is, could we have gotten Cano in another deal, kept Lopez for the end of 2022 and 2023 and then trade him for a similar package to what we got, whether that trade be this July or the offseason.

Personally, I believe that Lopez would have continued to pitch at a level that would have allowed us to obtain a similar package to the one we got, or better.

 

Who knows? I'm sure there was risk in going that route that maybe the FO didn't want to take on. The trade is a win right now, so I'm pretty comfortable just taking the W. And I think it's a win if Cano isn't even included, honestly.

But, he didn't continue to pitch well.  He pitched poorly for the Twins after the trade.  I doubt we'd have gotten as much for him at the end of the season vs. what we actually got at the deadline.   What he's doing now is irrelevant.

Well, I wasn’t advocating for trading him this past offseason, so not sure why you even mention that.

That said, we don’t know if he would have pitched poorly in Baltimore like he did in Minnesota.  And iirc, it was really a few bad outings in Minnesota vs overall poor pitching.

Cano's now leading the O's in rWAR at 1.7.

He's been unscored on in 17.2 innings with a 1.11 FIP

Still no Walks given up and only 3 hits allowed.

Will be interesting to see if he's asked to close today if the score is tight. Might be a good idea to stay in his clearly suitable role and let Baker try closing: he pitched in the 9th inning 8x last season with a below-2 ERA.

I don't think you're wrong for thinking this, but even if you are 100% sold on his ability on the mound (and consequently his trade value) you do have to acknowledge the risk that he'll get injured.

 

I certainly think Elias' reasoning for making the trade was defensible as well, and the results have thus far been better than expected.

I think if the situation calls for it Hyde will let Cano pitch an inning.  Playoff vibes in May.

Agree with all of this.

I didn’t/don’t agree with the decision but do agree it’s defensible. 

But we also have to acknowledge that they could have done a lot of other things and ended up in a similar spot while subsequently keeping Lopez, at least in the short term.

I think I didn't make myself clear enough. I don't doubt that Cano would be gone to if necessary; I was just suggesting that it may not be as closer, as many people here are requesting. Hyde may decide it's best to keep Cano in the role he's been amazing in and let the 9th-inning-experienced Baker close instead, if the score is close enough to need a closer.

From Minnesota's point of view, the whole point of the trade was to get Jorge. That was the guy they wanted for their playoff run. If you just want to get Cano and pay the bare minimum to get Cano, the question is whether we had anything else to offer that they would have been interested in. Trades in general don't happen unless there is a reason for them to happen on both sides.

Cano's the only other reliever on the team with saves (2). It seems like the computer prefers Cano in a non Felix save situation.

My God, can a reliever lead the league in WAR?

And he needs to close games from here on out.  He's way, way more efficient than Bautista.

The graph they showed in the gamecast was eye-popping.

He's basically pitched the same amount of innings this year (19) he has the same amount of Ks (21) but 16 less hits!

Maybe Elias trades Bautista at the deadline like he did Lopez

      2023 vs 2024 Player WAR & 2025 Opportunities

      Everything revolves around the health of the player. I think Gunnar has more. I think the collision with Mateo set Gunnar back and affected him in ways we will never know. I'm no mind specialist but Gunnar is young plays all out, and that had to bother him. I've watched that collision a number of times. No fault - just two players going all out and one is finished for the year. It just so happened that Gunnar got the yips and his batting went south soon thereafter. Maybe a coincidence but I think we will see a rejuvenated Gunnar next year and all stops are off.

      I’m not so sure the bolded part is true. I think a lot of that last bit can have to do with small skills: situational hitting/running, above average play in close games, generally things that can be boiled down to “luck.” I didn’t see this years team as having a major talent discrepancy from the 2023 version.

      As great as Gunnar is can’t assume he matches last year. That said I like the odds of the team as a whole matching what we did.

      The real improvement of this team will come from within.    The 3-5 players they bring in from outside the org will supplement the roster…maybe put it over the top but the real improvement will come from those already in the org.

      Yeah. -Would love to keep Burnes but I seriously doubt it. -I have a lot of faith in Adley.  - Holliday has huge ceiling even if he isn’t ready to be elite.  - doesn’t always work this way but the better your closer is tends to help rest of pen

      Nice OP. Thanks for the effort. Like the chart. Surprised it hasn't received much response. You sum up a lot of what I hope for as well. I'd add: I think a full - healty year of Westy will be even more valuable. I think Gunnar has even more in the tank. I want - hope that Holliday can develop into the lead off hitter and OBP table setter we need. And, I so want Cowser to cut down on strike outs and continue to develop as a professional hitter. I think he has the potential to cover for the loss of Santander while Big K develops on the right side. A lot to hope for but I believe these youngsters have a lot of potential yet to tap. And oh yes - I want Mayo to make Roy and all of us proud! Thanks again for the effort! I look at pitching as if we have a base. I agree with your points 1 and 2.

      Postgame Pedro Martinez and Dusty Baker critiquing Clase tripling up on his weaker pitch before the Carpenter heroics. 78% cutters on the season for Clase - the key PA went cutter-cutter-cutter-slider-slider-slider.
