So the second-segment-only WAR totals were the following, in order of +rWAR. 

  • Henderson 1.9 rWAR/1.4 fWAR
  • Mateo 1.0/0.7
  • Westburg 0.9/0.9
  • Rutschman 0.8/0.8
  • Urias 0.4/0.3
  • O'Hearn 0.4/0.2
  • Santander 0.3/0.1
  • Mountcastle 0.2/0.2
  • Stowers 0.1/0.1
  • Kjerstad 0.1/0
  • Cowser -0.1/+0.3
  • Hays -0.1/0
  • McCann -0.3/-0.4
  • Mullins -0.6/-0.8

So who had Urias as our fifth most valuable player over the last 27 games?  😎

Just to be clear... each line isn't how they did in that 27 game period, is it?   Looks like it is actually their overall line at the end of that period.

Yes.  I think I said that when I posted the results though segment 2.  I can't do the math on wOBA, xwOBA to separate one segment from the next.   I could do a good estimate, but it would be very time consuming.

That’s a pretty consistent year for Mateo so far. Do you know how many contenders would love to have him?  Especially the older, plodding, teams.

I guess I don’t understand WAR very well. How is Hays right with Santander for basically the month of June?  Santa has what 13HR this month?  And has played decent defense. What has Hays done?  Is there anyone here who would rather see Hays in the lineup than Santander?  It just doesn’t make sense to me.

It’s a good question.   Here’s a breakdown of the two in the 27-game stretch in question (which does not include the last two games):

Hays: 52 PA, .362/.423/.660, 3 HR, 7 RBI

Santander: 113 PA, .272/.319/.641, 12 HR, 24 RBI

Obviously, the slash line favors Hays, but in less than half the playing time.  Defensively Hays was +1 DRS this segment while Santander was -3.   That’s a swing of 0.4 rWAR in Hays’ favor.   OAA had Hays at -1 and Santander at -2, which favors Hays by a bit less than 0.1 fWAR.

The main lesson here is that homers are great, but not making outs and playing good D have a lot of value.  I’m still kind of surprised Hays edged out Santander in rWAR and was close in fWAR, playing a part-time role.

      The July schedule

      17-8 is a good goal.    
    • Frobby
      The July schedule

      By Frobby · Posted

      3 at Seattle (currently 47-39) 3 at Oakland (30-56) Off Day 3 vs. Cubs (39-46) 3 vs. Yankees (54-32) 4-day all star break 3 at Texas (38-46) Off Day 3 at Miami (30-54) 3 vs. San Diego (46-42) 4 vs. Toronto (including an opening doubleheader)(38-45) That's 16 games vs. teams with losing records, only 9 vs. winning teams.  13 at home, 12 on the road.   Plenty of off days in there.    I'd say 17-8 is a worthy goal. The Yankees play 13 games with Boston and Tampa, 3 with us, 3 with the Phillies, 2 with the Mets, 3 with the Reds.  Only the Mets (40-41) and Reds (39-45) are below .500, with Tampa (42-42) right at .500.

      Grow the Bats? Grow the Arms? Both? Neither?

      By Moose Milligan · Posted

      If you look at what they've done, the answers to what the strategy is could be completely obvious. First, when it comes to drafting...it's just easier to scout, draft and develop hitters.  You've got a greater chance of getting an impact player with a bat instead of an arm.  Now I know some are going to nitpick that and say "Well Moose, what's your criteria for that?  What do you mean by that?" I'm not going to do the research because I'm lazy, but here's what I know:  We drafted Adley AND Gunnar in the same draft.  And Stowers.  And Joey Ortiz.   I challenge anyone here to find a team that drafted that much value in pitching talent in one draft in the past 20 years.  Adley and Gunnar, if they stay healthy and play long enough, are Hall of Fame level talents.  Stowers has been a good prospect that has been blocked.  Ortiz has an .824 OPS in Milwaukee and was considered by some to be the headline of the Burnes trade.  He was blocked here. I'm not going to say that the Orioles don't value pitching because that would be silly.  I just think they have some newer ideas on the value of pitching and what it means in the modern game.  All of what I'm about to unfurl here is just a hypothesis but in my mind, it makes sense. The days of having big time frontline aces are almost over.  There are some very good pitchers out there but the amount of innings these guys throw are way down and they've gone down significantly very quickly.  If you go back to 2010, the innings pitched leaders in the MLB were Roy Halladay (250.2), Felix Hernandez, (249.2) and CC Sabathia (237.2).  You have to go all the way down to 46th place to find a pitcher that didn't throw over 200 innings (Rowdy Rodrigo Lopez threw 200 innings on the dot, then Barry Zito was 46th at 199.1) By 2015, your innings pitched leaders were Kershaw (232.2) Keuchel, (232.0) and Arrieta (229).  28 pitchers threw over 200 innings. Last year it was Logan Webb (216), Gallen (210) and Cole (209).  There were only 5 total that threw 200 or higher, the other two were Miles Mikolas and Chris Bassitt.  Framber came in at 198.  I'm not sure if we can agree on who the true aces here are, but I know one is Cole.  Gallen and Webb are very good. But of course their salaries are increasing.  And here's a look at who the highest paid starting pitchers are for 2024: https://www.azcentral.com/story/sports/mlb/2024/03/12/mlb-highest-paid-starting-pitchers-2024-season-salary-rankings/72949843007/ Ohtani isn't throwing this year and a ton of his value comes from his bat.   I don't know if any of these guys are worth their contracts outside of Cole.  I'm pretty sure deGrom probably would be, but he's always hurt.  Cole, Castillo (3.34 ERA) Nola (4.46 ERA) were the only three to finish in the top 10 of innings pitched last year.  Corbin threw 180 innings of 5.20 ERA.   And while I love Corbin Burnes, I'm afraid that he'd join this list next year...a list of guys that, quite frankly, aren't worth the hefty contracts they're getting paid.  Maybe Burnes is the exception to the rule here, but it's quite a gamble to find out. Of course, the Tommy John Experience has been running rampant through the Majors this year and in the preceding years, too.  And teams are expected to spend this type of money for a guy who's inevitably going to have to miss 12-18 months for that?  Elias knows this.  Sig knows this.  Hell, YOU know this.   So I think what we're seeing from the Orioles side of things is a change on how they value pitching.  Not that they don't value it, they're just not going to be caught at any time giving out big contracts to guys that are supposed frontline aces.  Why would they? They're going to continue to draft bats first and they'll get pitching where they can and the answers might not always be the sexiest.  @Frobby posted that excerpt from Fangraphs which was interesting, I'm assuming that maybe it's a little slower to develop pitching, too...and that's why we haven't seen as much in our prospect ranking as we've seen with the bats. But if you look at what they did in the offseason, they traded Ortiz and Hall for Burnes.  I wouldn't be surprised if you see another trade similar to that this upcoming offseason, trading some of our 5th-10th ranked prospects for a frontline starter that has a year or two of control remaining.  If Elias can find a deal like that at the deadline this year, he'll pull the trigger then, too.  But don't be upset if he doesn't. Doing so allows the Orioles to win in a lot of areas:  We retain our top flight talent, we also get a pitcher that can lead the rotation and we're not tied to a guy for a big contract.  We're also avoiding big bucks spent on potential Tommy John cases as best as we can. So the answer is to grow the bats and buy some of the arms for not a whole lot of time.  There's risk in everything that you do as an MLB GM but I do believe that in this day and age a lot of what the Orioles are going to do is risk aversion when it comes to pitching...both drafting it at the high rounds and spending for it in free agency.

      Grow the Bats? Grow the Arms? Both? Neither?

      Draft the best player available and go from there. If you end up with a surplus of position players, trade then for pitching, and vice versa.

      So, who WOULD you trade?

      By Filmstudy · Posted

      If you're talking about a bold trade of a ML player, how about Santander as part of a buyers and sellers route? He's just had a huge June (although somehow he did not make the MLB team of the month) and his OPS is now way above the league average.  Maybe he could go to a team like Seattle that can use bats and has arms.  I'd like a trade for a 2024 pennant piece, but I'd also be OK if the return was similar to the Lopez trade with another reliever they can use immediately. The trade makes room in the OF where the team needs it (RF) and helps for 2025 without hurting too much for 2024. As the buy side, they could then trade Stowers or Norby for a top starter or lesser prospects for a mid-range guy.

      If the Rangers drop out if it, is anybody interested in a rental like Kirby Yates?
