Wells has shown flashes of really good, maybe he's just over-worked right now and he could return in a BP role. Why deal a decent arm to gain another decent arm?  If we can't get a decent arm for surplus position players, what's the point?  We need to add another ML arm right now to get more innings, not swap for a marginal gain.

It’s not a marginal gain.  Cease is significantly better than Wells.

That trade ended up being basically Bedard for Tillman + Jones.

I'd think Wells + one of the O's Top 100 guys gets in the ballpark and the WS would then ask for a 2nd Top 100 and Elias would respond with 2 or 3 lottery tickets from amongst our non-Top 100 prospects.

George Sherrill was a very productive RP for a few years. I think even an All Star.

Might be there's no room for Wells if our rotation is Cease, GRod, Kremer, Bradish, Gibson.

Gibson isn’t here next year and if you trade Povich too now you have only one possible rotation piece close to the najors

Yeah I liked Sherrill. Maybe add Urias to the mix?

Wells gets replaced on the roster by Cease

Urias gets replaced by Ortiz

O's win world series. Seems like a plan to me.

I'm going to be sorely disappointed if the O's don't get a quality starter next year in FA.

Cease

GRod

Julio Urias

Kremer

Bradish

Correct, and was traded for Bell and Johnson which amounted to nothing but that's what lotto tickets mostly become.

      Is Matt Wieters >Adley?

      By Roll Tide · Posted

      Adley is having a down year. I believe he will bounce back.

      Can the O's hit Lugo and Wacha?

      By Fiver6565 · Posted

      I admire those of you who have such confidence in this offense. It’s been absolutely terrible for months, other than the last week of the season. It was beyond terrible yesterday- yes Ragans was good but the approach was awful by every hitter. I’ll be thrilled for them to prove me overly pessimistic, but I have zero faith in these bats.  This is at least partially a defense mechanism. I am not ready for the baseball season to be over, and another terribly quick exit from the postseason would just be so dreadful. I don’t need them to win the WS. But winning one GD game would be nice. Not looking forward to six months without baseball.

      Brandon Hyde 2024

      By waroriole · Posted

      You don’t have to twist yourself into a pretzel to defend Hyde. If Santander’s defense costs us, it means we got to extra innings and pinch running for OHearn was the right call. Also, are you really trying to say that OHearn is so valuable a defender at 1B that we couldn’t stand to lose that glove in extras? I doubt he’s even better than Santander.

      Is Matt Wieters >Adley?

      By JR Oriole · Posted

      Wieters' bWAR was 13.3 through his first 4 seasons (2009 - 2012).  It ended at 18.3 after his last season in 2020, so he was basically ineffective for the last 8 years of his career. Adley's bWAR is 13.1 through his first 3 seasons. So it isn't like Wieters didn't have a strong start to his career just like Adley did.  I think the concern that folks have is that the rest of Adley's career will play out like the rest of Wieters' career.  It seemed very unlikely halfway through this year, but this has been one hell of a drop-off.   And after Wieters never lived up to expectations, it is definitely a fear that we may be reliving this again.  Let's hope this second half was just an aberration.

      Adley has been in a horrible almost 4 month slump. Before that, he was the WAY BETTER offensive player. But I pose this question: What does it matter if Rutschman turns out to be worse than Wieters? Matt Wieters was drafted almost TWENTY YEARS AGO. No one in this org had anything to do with him being on our roster. HEck none of our current front office was even here for his entire Orioles' career.

      I do feel like Adley is out of shape or at least has gotten more out of shape than usual. That’s part of the reason I think he’s hurt…not working out as much. If he is healthy and the slump is this bad, I’m ok questioning whether or not the new GF(ie the distraction) is part of it. Is he putting everything into the game that he should?
