I'm just catching up on this but we know how Elias and company share information outside of their inner circle. They don't. We've heard from players many times say they don't hear from the Orioles abo

@Sports Guyis so prolific, he's the #3 poster on the Soxtalk thread despite joining on page 102 of 149. He's also the #1 poster in this thread, so potentially on track to be the #1 poster on both team

What do you put the odds of Povich having the career Cease has had?

I think it's pretty long.

Thats why he’s being proposed as the third piece of the trade, not the feature piece.  But his ceiling is pretty good.

Not sure if this has been mentioned in the 200 pages of Dylan Cease chat, but this was MLB Network's proposed Cease trade yesterday:

 

Baltimore gets: Cease

 

Chicago gets: Kjerstad, Ortiz, Armbruester

That’s one I might reluctantly do.  Armbruester might have a higher floor than Povich, but I think his ceiling is much lower.

Right, but I was talking to someone who didn't want to give six years of Povich for only two years of Cease.

I think you are overrating Povich if you are planning on getting six years out of him.

I don't really agree with Rosenthal here. I see a pretty even balance of supply and demand for SP this offseason. A lot of the demand for SP has been satisfied (Yamamoto, ERod, Gray, Sale... apparently). Meanwhile there remains Snell, Imanaga, Montgomery, and even Stroman out there on the FA market in addition to potential trades for Cease, Bieber, Burnes, Luzardo (and other Marlins), etc.

Known buyers at the moment include BAL, NYY, BOS, SF, CHC, NYM (maybe after getting Manaea) CIN (maybe?), LAA (maybe?).

To me that sounds like a pretty even balance of supply/demand. But I guess we'll see.

Yeah, I feel the same way.

Tough call, but I'd like the O's to take a legitimate crack at winning it all in the Mullins/Santander/Means/Hays era. The price for pitchers is high, but I think this deal makes them (more) legitimate World Series contenders in 2024 and 2025.

Yes, if somewhat reluctantly, but starting pitching is expensive and this would be a real-world trade offer.  And if Cease is the last one standing out of Valdez, Luzardo and Cease I would certainly make the deal.

Cease was in the majors at 23.

Povich's walk numbers increased last season.

You might want to cut down on the Flavoraid.

And your point is? I'm sure at 23 there was a much  greater expectation that Cease might be able to improve his walk rate than there is for him now at 28.  You might not believe in Povich, but it seems a bit ridiculous to say that there isn't a wider variable of outcomes for him based on his age, the lack of MLB data have for him, etc. I'm also not sure why you continue to try and compare a 23 year old pitcher with no MLB experience to a 28 year old veteran pitcher with five years of MLB experience.

I respect that, but I think the deal that would get it done is Westburg, Cowser/Kjerstad, and McDermott/Povich. They could kick in Kopech but that would be really complicated. 

It may get it done but it’s more value than what we should be trading.

Because you are worried that the lack of a 23 year old minor league with command issues will be too much to overcome after Cease leaves in two years.

I just find it amusing that you latch on to both Cease's walk rate and a pitching prospect with a similar flaw.

I'm not latching onto anything. You're the one who keeps trying to compare apples to oranges. Not wanting to trade Povich has more to do with prospects being a bit of a numbers game, since they all don't work out, and recognizing that the odds are already stacked against us in the pitching department because of our lack of depth.  The reality is that we need some of these pitchers to hit.

It’s interesting comparing the two.  They are quite similar (stat profile).  Cease logged 354ip in minors 4.2 bb/9 11.4k/9.  Cease came out of HS while Povich went to college and they both made it to AAA at same ages. In 250ip Povich is 3.8bb/9 12.1 k/9.  I’ll put my money long term on the 6’3” lefty who has a full arsenal and doesn’t rely on one pitch for success.  Cease gave up slightly fewer h/9  &  .7 fewer hr/9 (Fairly significant and Povich’s big weak spot).  WHIPs almost identical.

If Cease is an Oriole then either Kjerstad, Mayo, or Basallo is a White Sox, and yes I know how this entire board thinks Basallo and Mayo are destined for the HOF already, imagine how Getz feels about those two? I think in the end a deal gets done but it’s gonna hurt a little bit

      You mean a AAAA starter.  Sometimes I think he thinks he’s smarter than everybody else, so he does things that no one else would do just to prove a point. I don’t actually think he wants to spend money on free agents. I think he likes the idea of trying to be the smartest man in the room. I think his attitude is going to change somewhat next off-season, After his many blunders at the trade deadline.

      Jackson Holliday 2024

      I don’t think this is true. He’s had a lot of games as you described and there haven’t been these ten post reactions to said games. He’s going to hit. Would it be nice if he was producing this year like the other rookie Jacksons? Of course but no one (that I’ve seen) on this board is rooting against him or suggesting that he won’t be a high caliber major league hitter. His defense is another thing but he’s going to figure it out at the plate at the MLB level. You’re right though - his nice game should have garnered more attention, especially with the way the year has largely gone for him. I’m not sure what role he has in the postseason other than maybe as a pinch runner. Right now I don’t think I’m putting him ahead of any of the lefty bats on the roster. I guess he’s the only other ‘SS’ they have on the big club so he’s surely going to fill a spot but I can’t think that he plays ahead of anyone, including Rivera right now. It will be interesting to see how Hyde and Co. deploy Holliday come Tuesday.

      Starters vs Minnesota?

      By Warehouse · Posted

      Per Roch, Selby is the call up today, with Davidson presumably DFA.   Guessing today’s pitching looks like:  - Suarez (2-3 IP)  - Webb (1 IP)  - Soto (1 IP)  - Dominguez (1 IP)  - Coulombe (1 IP)  - Selby (2 IP) Bowman fills in gaps as needed.

      Holliday and Henderson is going to be an elite top 2 in the lineup.

      He’s also replaced the leg kick with a toe tap. At least with two strikes I noticed.

      Burnes named Game 1 ALWC starter

      By Warehouse · Posted

      Last year, of 8 WC teams: - 5 went with 12 pitchers - 2 went with 11 pitchers - 1 went with 13 pitchers I expect the Orioles to go with 12 pitchers. Given how Detroit mixes and matches pitching, we need to have enough platoon options.   I do think there is value in having more pitchers, even if it’s just an extra guy for mop up duty that saves pen in blowout game 2 so we aren’t running on fumes in game 3. However, I think 14 position players and 12 pitchers is the right balance for the wild card series.

      I don't think this is true.  He's struck out 3 times a few times and gone 0-4 several times and 10 posts haven't been made. I hope he has a nice view from the bench during the playoff series and gets an at bat here or there if we're up big or getting blown out.  I'd like to see him put in a lot of work this offseason and start 2025 on fire.
