He's my sleeper helium pick based on his athleticism and coming from a cold weather state. I have nothing to justify that but I like the storyline. -

Yea, I'm at the same line of thinking. The prospects coming up just don't excite me after this year's struggles. -

Good point on the cap issues. -
Do you expect him to draft more pitchers in January, or guys to hit better with RISP in December? -
By Aristotelian · Posted
Drafting more pitchers and working on RISP situations seems like tweaking a few things which is fine by me. I don't see you saying anything different. Fundamental change would mean firing all the coaches and trading off everyone except Gunnar and Westburg. I hope we don't do that. -

You don't necessarily have to add that much weight to get significantly stronger. That's an older 90's and early 2000's way of thinking based on the bodybuilding culture of weightlifting. Exercise science has evolved quite a bit. For skill sport athletes especially. With that being said, from television views, he doesn't look like he has spent much time in a weight room. Even skinny strong guys I talked about in para 1, usually have muscular definition like trap development, forearm striations, etc that are visible. His body looks like one of those things that blow in the wind outside car dealerships. -
Hyde is extension of front office and it’s analytics based decisions. In-game maneuvers (BP matchups, pinch hitters, steals, baserunning sends) and daily lineups are evaluated every day and are reflection of probabilities/decision science informed by analytics dept. If Hyde acted independently or went counter to those influences he would not be here. The manager hunch or expertise is legacy artifact in todays game (at least for the Orioles). Now ongoing player development (or shortfalls) is where the other coaches/assts come into play both at major and minor league level. These guys are also selected by the front office and I would expect some potential changes here that would be healthy as a result of Elias & team year-end review.
