The end of Cease speculation threads

None, no one. We won't trade for him.

I actually didn’t mean to vote. I don’t think any of these packages is something Elias would agree to trade. I think Ortiz is the biggest piece he moves for Cease. The Cease off-season obsession I thi

I think a trade is not going to happen this offseason, but if it were it would be because the Orioles agree to include Kjerstad. And if they do, they won’t include much else with him. I’d say that’s still very unlikely.

If the White Sox agree to what the Orioles are offering, I think that will be Westburg or Ortiz, and if Westburg it won’t be with much else (Stowers, Wagner, etc) and if Ortiz it will be with 2 other solid prospects in the Norby/Beavers/Povich/McDermott group. Probably the only way to meet more in the middle is Westburg + a couple of those mid tier names but I think the Orioles may still pass on that.

What do the winners get for this contest?

They must be forced to quote, bump up threads of everyone who wanted Cease when his ERA is near or over 5 and if/when those same people want him out of the rotation. Someone is going to have to do it.

Shouldn’t be trading our best pitching prospect.

It would hurt.  Was trying to be realistic.  They wanted some pitching.  Would think if we include pitching it’d be 2+ years away.

No McDermott or DeLeon.  Give them Povich.  Add in a guy like Stowers if needed.

Stowers is like a random body at this point although I think he could eventually find a home somewhere like Mike Yaz. 

Tried to put together a solid grouping of legit talent that wouldn’t kill us but would hurt a little.  Stowers is a good player.

I think the WS are probably trying hard for Kjerstad.  To me, Kjerstad is still coming back from myocarditis.  He really only tapped into his power as this season went on.  Last year, a lot of posters thought he had gap power.  I'm guessing from the WS side, they would do Kjerstad, Westburg, Povich right now.  Too much for me and I'm sure Elias.

I looked for Stowers, I guess he used up his rookie eligibility.  He was up in the majors for a while but got few at bats.  He would be in the 25-35 range if he was still a prospect, my guess.

      Yes that is what happened last year to Adley.  I hope it is not a repeat even though this is someone from the Royals not Rangers where they stuff the ballot boxes and beat him out. Or the Yankees fans who think we are so evil vote for anyone going head to head against us.

      And 2 steals. Good enough to put him at .726 OPS and 39 SB through June. Cowser only put up a .795 OPS there. All things considered, EBJ only maybe is slightly under where we hoped he would be. I’d still like to see him finish up in Bowie.  The ASB is June 15-18. Any word on if EBJ has made the team?  I think we could see him promoted afterwards possibly???

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      Both are more of regular season arms. They’re not going to be back end arms in the pen. Suarez wasn’t used like that in his brief stint. He pitches to contact vs hunting for Ks. Both are suited to be regular season SP or bottom half of your pen relievers.

      I hope Adley beats out Perez. I believe this is where he lost to Heim last year. Mounty and Westburg will likely lose heads up.

      Bring up Mayo already!!

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      We have an off day to give Mounty an extra days rest. We have an off day next Monday as well with the ASB looming. Mounty is close to making the ASG so I doubt he wants to hit the IL.  Meaning a RP would have to go for Mayo. I think we’re trying to keep Urias this season and move on from him in the offseason. Mayo is on target to be added as our extra player in September unless we have an injury.  It sure would be nice to bring Mayo up and let him get a ton of ABs to be ready for the playoffs.  At the end of the day, what’s worth more?  Urias as an insurance policy that shouldn’t get ABs in the playoffs, or developing Mayo that should get playoff ABs?

      When Kremer comes back and if we get a #3 starter, would that help bolster the pen? You can move Suarez and Irvin/Povich into the pen.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      Those three starts were going against @NYY, @Hou, and Texas. He’s slated to go @Oak with an extra day of rest.  We have to differentiate between regular season SP and playoff SP. Just like how we have to do with regular season RP and playoff RP.  Irvin, Povich, Kremer, and Suarez, are fine options to get you through 162.  Burnes, and Grayson, are our playoff options right now. We need a game 2/3 SP. The playoff RP core looks to be Kimbrel, Cano, Webb, Coloumbe(if healthy), and Perez. It would be nice to add two arms to the playoff RPs.
