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

      Yeah I'm all for sportsmanship but seeing 'Congratulations Yankees' at or near the top of the board is sickening, not gonna lie.  There is no high road when it comes to these clowns.  Boone's constant whining, the well-documented HP ump favoritism (I don't care if its framing or whatever, its happening, and its annoying AF), the whining about Judge getting hit on the hand while their guys constantly pitch inside including of course the Kjerstad play where they were literally cutting up on the bench as he lay prone on home plate, the ginormous payroll, the incredibly entitled fan base booing at pitches being called balls that are three inches off the plate, that stupid roll call, that stupid whistle after strikeouts, the stupid national media drooling over a Judge v Ohtani WS possibility, Nestor Cortes and his dumb mustache, the mediocre stadium that is revered simply because its called Yankee Stadium, the ridiculously short RF porch, the Soto Shuffle or whatever the hell it is. Congratulations my ass.  Screw those dudes.

      Here's the deal. I doubt anyone on the Yankee's board congradulated us last year. This year they won the East. Whippie for them. It's like saying the IRS won tax season. IF, we do anything in the playoffs, we may meet again. But there are some significant hurdles before that. And they could easily lose along the way. Cleveland, Houston, Detroit, and KC are no walk in the park. I'll root for the O's to go as far as they can and that the Yankees are one and done. We are in. I hope we win one more so we play the opening round in Oriole Park. If not, we are still in and have to do what we got to do to go anywhere. Two years in a row. While the Red Sox, Blue Jays, and Tampa sleep. Year two with a heck of a lot more obstacles. This may not be a WS year but we are competitive, young, and a hell of a lot classier than that bunch in the Bronx.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By Fiver6565 · Posted

      The usage of Cano last night was poor, I don't even blame him really.  Yankees had 9-1-2 coming up, and Torres is well known (based on the telecast) to hit Cano well, and hit sinkers well.  He laced that hit to RF off him on Tuesday where the Yanks screwed up the baserunning.  And Soto got a hit off him that same inning.  So it was pretty predictable that these guys were going to tee off when he came in, and that's exactly what happened. Not to mention he's pitched a lot recently, and Burnes should have pitched another inning anyway.  Just baffling decisions by Hyde last night, and I'm not one to generally question those types of things.  Even if the Burnes thing was pre-ordained, the choice of Cano for that moment was terrible.

      Why is this thread on the Oriole Talk section.    It probably does not belong on the OriolesHangout  at all but if it stays it should be on the MLB section.

      By Fiver6565 · Posted

      If there's two outs and its not Judge in the hole, I'm probably going with Perez, crossing my fingers he gets the lefty, and then starting fresh the next inning with Coulombe or someone else.  If there's one out, I'm going w/ Coulombe.
