Perhaps some people believe Elias undervalues pitching because of his lack of drafting them in the first three rounds of the draft until this past year and the fact that he's never been willing to tra

They won't weaken their efforts during the holiday week. They have done nothing to significantly improve this team and they will do their best to continue to do nothing during this week.

This forum is by far, the most informative of anything about the O's out there. Tony and the other admins, as well as the regular users are just fantastic with news and rumors. I only read Roch to fin

He undervalues pitching so it isn't surprising he finds the asking price high.

He under values pitching so much we had the best pitching in baseball the 2nd half of last year and targeted pitching (Bradish, Povich, McDermott, Johnson, Cano) almost exclusively in trades.

I'd like your source on that statement.

I just pulled up pre and post all star break and it shows the Brewers having a team ERA .36 runs a game lower.  Not saying you are wrong, mind you.

As to my actual statement, when someone continually expresses surprise at the cost, in both money and prospects, to obtain pitching it shows that they undervalue pitching compared to their peers.

If everyone else thinks a dweeble is worth 100 peebles and you think it is only worth 80 peebles, you are undervaluing it compared to the established market value.

After all, at the end of the day everything is worth what someone will pay for it.

Time today for a few more facts and opinions about the 2023 Orioles and the Birds who will take the field in 2024.

Fact: The Orioles’ team ERA for last season was 3.89 which ranked fifth-best in the American League and seventh-best in the majors. In the second half, their team ERA of 3.58 ranked first in the AL and third in the majors.

My apologies. It was only the best in the AL.  3rd best in baseball for the GM who undervalues pitching.

Good on you for admitting your mistake.

My other comment still stands.

I’d like your source and quotes where Elias expresses his “surprise” at the cost of pitching.  Must be a lot if it’s continual.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By drjohnnyfever1 · Posted

      Lol!  Correct, dude! I'm not against anything.  I just feel like maybe the expectations are a little higher than they need to be.  We don't need a number one SP - I mean, it would be great, but the value/cost at this moment would be bad, imo.  So I think there's the chance he's shopping at Ollie's.  Nothing wrong with that to me.  I'm just wondering if there are targets out there that someone is familiar with that would cost little instead of the guys being talked about - top prospects, Kjerstadt, etc. Other than Buddy Groom, LOL, there are no answers.  Fuji was almost equivalent to what I'm talking about here.  I just don't know who as I don't watch games around the league as I know many others here do.

      Holliday, Mayo or Basallo

      By tom_o'malley · Posted

      Mayo.  His 2024 numbers are incredible, so you’re selling high as far as prospects go.  But his defense is a question mark and as this year shows, he has the least clear path to the majors of the group. Some of that is because of his age relative JH and SB, but it’s clear that JH and SB have clear rolls on this team once they are ready.  Mayo’s path is less clear.

      Skubal trade..Kjerstad, Mountcastle, McDermott and Bradfield?

      By Big Mac · Posted

      I'm coming around to this idea more and these are all good points, but I still wouldn't give up a whole lot for him.  His season so far this year is giving me a bit of Austin Voth 2022 vibes.  83 IP for us with a 3.04 ERA, 3.96 FIP, 8.3 H/9, 1.1 HR/9, 2.7 BB/9, 7.8 K/9...then he went back to being the Austin Voth he always was.  Maybe it's that they both pitched for the Nationals for a bit at the beginning of their careers, but both careers prior to their "breakout" 2022 and 2024 seasons, respectively, along with their numbers in their "breakout" seasons are eerily similar. I'm not dismissing the idea that he has figured something out, I'm just not willing to risk much betting that he has.

      I'm expecting the All-Star game soon. I would have said as quickly as possible after the sale but now I think they will wait until the renovations are complete.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By G54377 · Posted

      I don't like the idea of parting with significant prospects for marginal players. For comparison's sake, we traded for Flaherty last year and gave up basically nothing. Flaherty (even mid season last year) is about as good as some of the guys we are thinking of trading real prospects for. Even if you get an additional year(s) of control, guys like Efflin I'm not trading someone like Norby for. I think we can do better if we are going to jet out the Norbys and Beavers of the world.

      I would consider Fedde the main aisle along with relievers like Scott and Estevez.
