I’ve been calling this “dealing from the top of the deck.”  It’s maximizing player value and profits.  Plus it allows Elias to minimize rookie risk as he can be selective on who moves and when.  I dou

There is a chance that one or more of those players listed on the right will not be league-average MLB players despite what they are doing or what lists they are on in the minors. Would be nice if the

I don't agree. They have some value. It's not much but both are at least MLB bullpen pieces on some teams who are still cheap and can give you length. 

Every team has guys like them or you can get guys like them off of waivers for nothing. Why would you give up value to get them?

Guys like these are traded every year. I said they didn't have much value but they could fetch cash or maybe even international slot $. I think Wells is more than a waiver claim and at least one GM gave up a low-level prospect for Irvin. There might be a second one out there.

We got Irvin for AAA filler. I don't think his value has changed since. Wells has more value but not by a whole lot. He's 28 and hasn't shown an ability to start a full season's worth of innings. He's probably best as a swing guy.

How has Irvin’s value not changed? He went from 180 innings per year and a 4.10ish ERA avg over 2 seasons tonbarely being able to hold a Ml spot this year.  Of course his value has gone down and by a lot.

That’s no value. You aren’t dumping him for cash considerations or slot money. No value is another way of saying, a team isn’t going to give you anything that would make you consider trading him.

I guess I should have been more specific, if we got AAA filler for him in the offseason we aint getting more than that now.

      We TRIED to give that game away but couldn’t quite do it

      It's fine for GRod to get a spot on the All-Star  team. I hope he doesn't warm up or pitch.

      John Smoltz on why pitchers are "breaking" and what we should do about it..

      By DrungoHazewood · Posted

      1. From the beginning of time until roughly 1980 an average MLB game was somewhere between 1:50 and 2:30, all shorter than today's games with the pitch clock. It's not primarily the pitch clock. 2. Even if the pitch clock were to be shown to increase injuries by some some amount, do we really want to go back to a game where the average time is 3+ hours and increasing every year? The glacial pace of pre-clock baseball was killing interest in the sport. MLB had become a recurring meme online because it was sooooo slloooooowwww. I'll take 10% or 20% more injuries if it means we get a game that's played at a reasonable pace and gametimes in line with the other major sports that play multiple times a week.

      Orioles, Vinny Nittoli Agree To Minor League Deal

      By yark14 · Posted

      I was joking.  Always make for a good laugh anytime Elias picks somebody up off the scrap heap.  I actually agree with you though, his numbers at times are pretty decent.  Not a bad depth piece, especially if we pull ahead of the Yankees and need someone to eat some innings late in the season.

      Definitely agree on Gunnar swing timing — kinda looked like Cowser last night where late on FB and ahead of offspeed/breaking balls.  Was the same on Sunday too. Re: Kjerstad and high cheese. Keep in mind that Kirby has 99th percentile values for his fastball (and also per baseball savant, mostly locates it up in the zone).  It’s probably the best fastball in the game right now for SPs (edit, just looked it up, and only guy I see at 100 pitch value for FB is Crochet).

      Jackson Holliday 2024

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      Like I said the other day, it would be nice to hear from some scouts, the org or whoever about all the walks, lack of power, lack of BA, etc…is he tweaking things? Is the elbow bothering him to where he can’t drive the ball? Is he getting nothing to hit?     I’m surprised someone from the Banner hasn’t gotten into this because it’s obviously a big story and one that should be reported on.

      Jackson Holliday 2024

      By Warehouse · Posted

      One thing to note is that Jackson made swing tweaks his first three weeks back in Norfolk but then abandoned them because they “didn’t feel great”. From this Baltimore Banner article:  “Earlier, as he fiddled, Holliday felt he was “surviving” and “didn’t feel great” about where his swing was, even though he produced at the Triple-A level upon his return. That has since changed. Over the last two weeks, particularly, Holliday’s return to the mechanics he’s more familiar with has helped him get back on track.” His contact rate really dropped off when he reverted back to his familiar mechanics. I worry that he gave up on the changes too soon. First three weeks back vs. after (includes tracked pitches and non-bunts)   PAs    K%           wOBA  xwOBA whiff % 4/27-5/18 91 19.8% .366 .349 21.6% 5/19-7/2 118 28.8% .392 .337 32.1%     PAs    EV      hard hit % barrel/PA 4/27-5/18 91 89.5 44.4% 4.4% 5/19-7/2 118 89.8 44.6% 4.2%

      Sure. And his ligaments would have likely snapped, and he'd have put that college degree to good use instead of being a ballplayer. Or he would have thrown at 90% like most everyone else and topped out with Cedar Rapids in the Three-I League.
