@TradeAngelos Where are you going to find 2 Aces that want to come pitch in Baltimore, MD? Who are "Aces" to you? You want someone better than Kyle Bradish? Those guys get 300 million in Free Agency. Gerritt Cole, Yammamoto, Wheeler, Burnes. Not a lot of "Aces" are in their 20s nowadays. Scherzer, deGrom, Verlander aren't giving better production than G-Rod and Bradish. 

I'm not saying that it will happen or that these two guys are better than Bradish, but if we were to sign Snell and acquire Cease by trade that is very doable IMO given how low the rest of the payroll is.

Snell, Bradish, Cease, Grayson in whatever order you want to put them gives us the best rotation in the AL and maybe the game.

Thing is, plenty of teams have spent money in stupid or shortsighted ways that got them nowhere.   So I don’t want a “throw money at problems” approach.  Just spend intelligently when Elias feels it’s

The main question I have is... are you going to change your username?

I have already said I will be changing my name. Now let's get back to two TOR starters and how we are going to acquire them......

Last year absolutely! 2 years ago not so much. Either way I think having a pitcher like Cease only helps us in addition to Bradish. I'm not interested in who is better. I am interested in who can help us win a World Series.

I agree with this….if you have the $constraints lifted this is the way to go….and this is how you make a splash. Plus it allows you (hopefully) to clear some of these guys off the roster and thus giving them a chance somewhere else.

Bradish and GRod are #1s.   Name the starter you are going to get that are better.

By 2025 Johnson, McDermott and Povich will be ready for the majors.   There is plenty of up side coming.

GRod is not a #1

Bradish doesn't get enough respect around here.

Do you know the last time an Orioles' starter finished 4th or better in the Cy Young vote?

Mike Mussina in 1999.

 

He is the best pitcher on this team.

I absolutely LOVE Kyle Bradish and the season that he had last year. Me advocating for the team to add to the rotation is by no means intended as a slight to him. I just feel that he needs some help! Bradish, Grayson, whatever Means is/will be, and Kremer is not a World Series caliber rotation in my opinion especially when the Rangers already have a better lineup than us and the Astros probably do as well with just as good or probably better pitching. And that does not includes the behemoths in the Braves and Dodgers. I want the Orioles to put themselves in the best position possible in order to win a championship. Something Angelos was clearly indifferent about and not willing to do.

Good OP, TradeRubenstein.

Trade??? Absolutely not. This man is going to save baseball in this city for the rest of my lifetime. 

Maybe PraiseRubenstein or some other highly flattering word. I can be wooed right now if he is reading, lay it on thick when you start talking Davey. Whisper sweet nothings in our ears.

I worry you’re setting yourself up for disappointment.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By ScGO's · Posted

      I firmly believe Elias is attempting to build a package around Mountcastle and Kjerstad w/ 2 to 3 lesser valued pieces in exchange for a good starter

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      We probably need to consider who we want facing Soto out of the pen. We need a Soto stopper. https://stathead.com/baseball/versus-finder.cgi?player_id1=soto--003jua&utm_medium=sr_xsite&utm_source=br&utm_campaign=2023_01_player_innernav_stathead&__hstc=107817757.2f3f33a24b44870ec4a577029c49e44b.1699920000170.1699920000171.1699920000172.1&__hssc=107817757.1.1699920000173&__hsfp=966217318 Those are his career stats versus all pitchers. He tunes mostly everyone up pretty good. Some lefties stand out though. More as SP though. Just something to think about for what it seems is an inevitable playoff showdown.

      Albert Suarez 2024

      By emmett16 · Posted

      So I’ve spent a bunch of time of Suarez’ BBref page and it’s fascinating.  17 seasons of baseball all over the world in an a ton of leagues (APPY, NYPL, MIDW, GULF, FLOR, VEWL, SOUL, TL, NL, PCL, CALL, ARZ, JPEL, JPCL, KBO, IL, AL) The thing I’ve noticed is that he is incredibly consistent.  In all those 17 seasons: 1. His total era in all 17 years is 3.60 (3.81 MLB, 3.71MiLB, 3.45 Foreign) 2. His total H9 is is 9.0 (8.4MLB, 8.9MiLB, 9.1 Foreign) 3. His total HR9 is 0.7 (.9MLB, .8MiLB, .5 Foreign) 4. His total BB9 is 2.7 (3.0MLB, 2.5MiLB, 2.8 Foreign) 5. His total k9 is 7.0 (6.8 MLB, 6.7 MiLB, 7.7 Foreign) He’s done that pitching  quite a few innings (175MLB, 636MiLB, 676 Foreign) For comparison sake this year he is 2.43era, 7.9H9, 0.2HR9, 3.3BB9, & 6.8K9.  His H9 & HR9 are down a good bit resulting in the lower era.  The BB9 is up slightly and the k9 is right at his career average.  I see some regression  in his future as the HR9 returns closer to career avg. but I don’t see him completely falling off a cliff.   Hes not going to over power you but you know what your going to get.  I find it pretty incredible how he’s maintained a very consistent output of performance throughout his 17 years.  Not a lot of peaks and values.  That has a ton of value.  Glad to see him have some success in the later part of his career.  Easy guy to root for.

      Cowser has shown his defense is good in center too.  Robert strikes out more than Cowser and I don’t see wasting resources on him.  I can’t image the orioles would want him.

      Nolan Hoffman has 15 straight scoreless IP in AAA. What do we make of him?

      By CaptainRedbeard · Posted

      Definitely a potential up/down righty on righty option behind Tate. Definite 40 man add this off-season if he keeps it up.
