    • I agree about Scott.  I'm not sure Elias will give a SP 4 years, he definitely won't give a RP the 4 years that Scott is projected to receive.
    • If you see a big drop in performance because a scout  or coach or FO exec leaves(not GM), I think that says more about your overall structure than it does about that one single person.
    • Mets Reed Garrett was the other one that popped into my head, but you are right that there was not many. Holt’s time here will be credited with more hits than misses. Relievers are such a difficult volatile group. Very nomadic. I am not dismissing his contributions. He was a part of things, but I do not believe that he, alone, is responsible for the success or failure of our pitchers. There is so much more to it than tweaking mechanics or shaping pitches. There is the mental side, the sequences, and so on. That is not a dig at him. I don’t think you can point to any pitching coach as a savior, or a goat. They may make a difference with some, but not others. Better with certain profiles, or types. I am simply saying there was some dysfunction, turn the page. Next man up. 
    • The main Takeaway is that the Royals acted immediately. If the Orioles are interested in Burns, they need to act immediately. Regarding the other point, it remains to be seen. This is Rubenstein’s first off-season as owner. We have to see what happens, but if open season comes, all we will know is that the Orioles did not keep Burnes, and won’t.
    • And what’s funny is that left has been his miss this year. So, he’s definitely fighting something mechanical that he’s trying to fix.
    • The significant take away from this contract is that the Royals had a target, they had an amount they were willing to pay, they negotiated and got the deal done quickly. The Orioles need to do the same thing if they want to keep Burnes. It would infuriate me if he’s wearing Yankee trim next season, and it might make sense for the Yankees to let Cole go and to add Burnes.
    • Calm down. Free agency hasn’t even started.
