Texas' farm system is no where near as good as ours, so their 11, 14 might roughly be our 19, 22.  

This Montgomery & Stratton trade is frustrating as an O's fan, frankly.  We could easily have beat that return.  Perhaps another deal we like better is in the works.

Yea, these trade returns for rental starters are really making me think Elias has something better  in mind. Hopefully.

Haha.  I wouldn’t be surprised if it were actually Kyle Gibson.

Possible, though historically he’s faded down the stretch so unless he gets himself right that’d be a tough sell.

Unfortunately I'm starting to think he really is going to do nothing. And I'm sure it will be because ownership doesn't want to take on new contracts.

Didn't someone post an excerpt from Astroball that said Sig loved to hoard

Hope that means Logan Gilbert, Bryce Miller or Mitch Keller.

He just sent one his better first half starters to Bowie. I think that is a pretty clear sign he is shopping for a starter and probably a RP.

Sig doesn’t make the final call.

Fingers crossed.

Not saying it means anything, just an observation… seems to be a lot of ties to the Orioles and Lorenzen out there in Orioles twitter world.

I think that’s because Wells has been so bad and is on an innings watch. I’ll be surprised if we do any better than Lorenzen.

I think they’re in on Cease.

Or they wanted our 11 and 14 and Elias isn't that dumb. Who knows. Speculation season.
