I have a feeling we wind up with Verlander. Don't know anything about his contract, but I imagine it would be a big hurdle. I just can't see the O's not adding an SP. There aren't really any I really want, but I feel like Elias would invite the familiarity that Verlander would bring.

Awful move 

It's just kicking the tires at this point but we always knew the guy we would be getting would be someone that would piss everyone off lol. Could do a LOT worse though certainly.

I keep seeing this on here.

Why do people prefer Westburg over Ortiz?  Does Westburg do anything better than Ortiz (MAYBE more power)?

Btw, I’m not trying to knock Westburg, just trying to figure that out as it seems to be the prevailing thought on here.

It is because he is being compared with what Cowser is currently doing.  Not fair to either, but I think that is what’s happening.

We don't need upside, we need someone to win us a world series right now. I don't think Cabrera is that guy. I would rather sign someone in the offseason than trade a top 100 guy who is already having MLB success for a project. Would he even make our active roster right now? I would be offering Prieto-plus. 

I believe my post said it doesn’t make much sense right now but he, or someone like him, would be a good target in the off-season.   Exchanging excess prospect capital for pitching capital makes perfect sense.

Lorentzen does seem more like an Elias move.   He’s only going to cost 3M and the O’s can probably get him with multiple top 30 guys without dipping into the A prospects.     Now, who would Lorentzen replace.  Gotta figure something is up with Tyler Wells.   They aren’t about to bounce Gibson, Bradish, or Kremer, and GRod looked like he might be something down the stretch run.

I think GRod's start tomorrow is going to help tell us if he's going to be the guy we want him to be.

Cross David Robertson off your lists, to the Marlins.... Mets return should tell us just about everything we need to know about our next bullpen add

Looks like they got…a couple tasty lottery tickets, but nothing that will help within the next 3-4 years at least.

IF Marco Vargas

C Ronald Hernandez

Two young kids who are presently destroying the Complex league with extreme plate discipline moreso than power. Vargas just turned 18 and Fangraphs seems to be highest on him (40+ FV, 9th among Marlins prospects). Hernandez is almost 20, and for that reason seems to be the (nearly) consensus lower-ranked prospect. 

MLB Pipeline has them at #18 (Vargas) and #21 (Hernandez) in a middling Marlins system, although that does feel low on Vargas for me, given his age and outstanding play at the Complex.

      What does the Bradish injury really mean?

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      I'm not talking about writing them off. But I am certainly not for believing that any of those three is going to be a number 2 or 3 starter and pitch us through multiple rounds and on to the World Series. That would be sort of the definition of "magical thinking". Bradish, before he got hurt was able to go pitch for pitch against Suarez and keep their offense in check. I think it would be foolish to expect that kind of performance on the biggest stage (October baseball) of Kremer, Irvin, Povich, or Suarez. None of them COMBINED have ever been anything like that before. That doesn't mean that they can't help the team, but not as a credible/suitable replacement for Bradish.

      I have seen nothing from Mike Elias in the last half decade that makes me think he would make a significant trade of his cherished prospect capital within the division.  And Luzardo has "Erik Bedard" written all over him, IMO. This year's SP trade market kind of sucks.

      Shame. Losing him will stink.

      I agree with the underlined. But there is a visible/palpable difference in the talent of the two team's bullpens. It goes beyond Hoffman and Strahm IMO. Just look at who the two teams turned to after the rain delay (in the 11th). Of course, Webb has a much better ERA currently, but who is the much better pitcher? For me it is talent (top end) that wins in the postseason and depth that wins in the regular season. We have more depth than anyone. But right now what we lack is top end talent in our bullpen. We have to accept/face the truth that the Yankees and Phillies are better at the back end right now. But that's okay because it's still early June and we have time to catch up. But you have to acknowledge a problem before you can address it, not pretend like it doesn't exists.

      It didn’t seem like he had inside information. It seemed equivalent to posters on this board talking like they know Bradish is seriously hurt. When a pitcher with a recently rehabbed UCL strain leaves a game early with elbow discomfort, it’s not a good sign. However, I think Hays comments simply reflect that reality and don’t imply incremental bad news beyond the facts already known.
