It's just another rant thread after a loss.

Appreciation threads notify posters that a player is no longer in the organization. Not a rant tooL!

I request that the moderators delete this thread or change its title so that it doesn't give the impression that Mr. Perez is no longer on the active roster.

I'm guessing not quite yet. 

But it's at the point where I'd be ok with it. 

I think a few of his recent blowups have been some bad batted ball luck where he wasn't getting hit too hard, but he now has 16 K, 14 BB in 24.1 IP. That's not gonna cut it.

Yeah, you could say it’s fluky, but it keeps happening.

Really weird how bad he's been this year, but perhaps it was last year that was weird, because he was terrible before that. 

I think he's a good bounce-back candidate if he goes to another team.

Yeah, at some point you have to say that last year was the fluke. Not sure how you can be so good and then so bad, but that’s the life of a reliever

Can't carry Perez and Voth in the same bullpen.  Yeah, I know Voth is on the IL.  Need to use some of this prospect capital to get another back end reliever. 

I don't think they even need to do a trade to replace Pérez, if their goal is to fill the short-stint lefty spot with a guy who will produce some positive value, instead of negative.

Vespi and Hernández are in Norfolk right now (though I think Vespi's recall timer currently has a bit to go, I think he last got sent down last week).  Hall is obviously still figuring some things out, but even he could be an option if he has an obvious "click."  I'd definitely be worried if i were Pérez, there's several guys ready to take his job, and he hasn't been doing it.

Only thing protecting Perez is that Elias hates to give away talent.  He couldn't even part w/ Odor at the end of last year.  In comparison, look how easy the Yankees gave up on Hicks.  They saw Hicks wasn't doing the job, had a bunch of prospects that needed playing time and cut Hicks, $30 mill be damned.

That might not be best example.  😉

      12 Questions for the Offseason

      By Warehouse · Posted

      On #1: the question is whether all of Mayo, Kjerstad, Cowser, and Holliday have everyday roles or if are some platooned or held back in Norfolk or traded? If they all play everyday, there’s not really a meaty role to offer to a new bat. In the various post-mortems, this seems to be one of the biggest points of differences among posters.  Some want no logjams while others want one or more proven MOO professional hitters and don’t want to rely on Holliday or Mayo. My view is in the middle of the spectrum. I think at least one of Cowser or Mullins needs to sit vs. LHP, so we need a lefty masher capable of playing left field at Camden.  I think we may consider trading Mounty to make room for Mayo.

      12 Questions for the Offseason

      By interloper · Posted

      I find #8 to be an interesting one. On the one hand, McCann seems well-liked, he brings some toughness and veteran presence, and he actually had his best offensive season since 2020. At 35, you can probably have him for a 1 year deal if you want. And Basallo isn't really that close to coming up and catching just yet. He's a deep 2nd half kind of callup if you need him. And it's not like the free agent backup catcher market is much better than McCann. On the other hand, I have a sour taste in my mouth from game 1 where he couldn't make contact with men on base. Adley certainly didn't get any better under his wise tutelage. And maybe there are guys out there who surpass McCann defensively and bring a different wrinkle to the clubhouse. So I wouldn't be mad about a change.

      How does Povich fit into your 2025 plans?

      By RVAOsFan · Posted

      This is my thought process regarding the pitching staff next season, ideally we resign Burnes but if not another TOR like Snell or Fried need to be signed this offseason.  Eflin GRod and Kremer are a really solid 2,3,4 the 5 spot is open to competition but realistically there will probably be some injuries or fatigue that require all of these guys contributing.

      12 Questions for the Offseason

      By Warehouse · Posted

      1. Where on the spectrum should Elias anchor between “let the kids play” vs. “sign proven bats”? 2. How do we get a right-handed bat to come here given Walltimore? 3. How many years do you think we should be willing to commit to a starting pitcher?  Where do you expect Elias to fall? 4. Between vets, rookies, and prospects, who can we trade / should we trade / do we trade for pitching or a bat? 5. What budget will ownership give to Elias? To what extent will he max out on his constraint? 6. What coaching and front-office personnel changes should/will we make? What about infrastructure or changes to org philosophies? 7. Whom, if anyone, should we try to extend, considering their agent and what they will likely demand financially?  8. For backup catcher, do we re-up McCann or go in a different direction? 9. Does it make sense to sign a blue chip reliever given the spotty track record of those signings (e.g., of 25 relievers signing for > $3MM last year, 2 had WAR of at least 0.5 in both fWAR and bWAR)? 10. Does Elias make any outside-the-box moves  (e.g., convert Akin to SP, sign a FA infielder, move JH to CF, find the next Suarez)?

      Hope to take my kids but it will depend on the ticket prices.  I couldn’t believe how expensive the tickets were when they were in DC
