What do you mean by this? He was a guy current management targeted in a trade.

They highly value strike throwers.  I haven seen them tolerate a pitcher who walks batters as much as he does.  He reminds me a lot of DL Hall.

You don’t seem to get it. Mayo and Basallo aren’t just prospects. These guys are upper echelon elite offensive talents that have usually been at the top of their leagues offensively while also being v

Me neither.  I figured it was something out of Harry Potter.

I kind of figured that with CoC it may be best not to enter "haruspex" into any search while in the office lol

The draft starts 5 weeks from Sunday...I'll be surprised if Elias pays any seller's early high price that far before the deadline.

It looks like MLB has slotted the trade deadline on a Tuesday at 6:00pm, another 16 days after that.

Starting tonight, a current gray area team like the Rays has 44 games between now and then with the All-Star break and the offdays, making the current series almost 10% of the results they will get to see between now and then.

DL's K/BB rate improved dramatically in the relief role

They tolerated Hall for 5 years and I’m pretty sure they would have been happy to have him in this years bullpen if he wasn’t part of the Burnes trade.

You must have not really looked much into Detmers numbers.

He’s an excellent target for us, for so many reasons.

Please elaborate as to why you think a guy who was demoted to AAA on a non contending team is an excellent target, particularly for the 2024 ballclub.

He was a 1st round draft pick and had a live arm, of course they tolerated him.  He also only pitched 33 total innings for the Os in those 5 years.  Not sure the 2024 version would be on the 26 man.  I hope he rebounds when he comes back from the knee injury.  Sounds like that could be soon.

I’m not sure what you mean when you say you haven’t seen them tolerate a pitcher who doesn’t throw strikes.   They showed a lot of patience with Hall and put him in the bullpen in the middle of a division push and then in the playoffs.  He did quite well.    McDermott could go in a trade but I think they’d rather hold onto him.

Maybe I’m off base, but to me when the new FO took over one of the biggest changes I noticed was an emphasis on pitchers that threw the ball over the plate and didn’t give out as many free passes.  
 

BBs last 6 complete season.

Ray DF'd Harold Ramirez, is there any interest? He is hitting .268 and only 29 years old. Only has 1 Homer. He'll probably be claimed before we have a chance.

The good news is Ramirez can't kill us like he always has.

I’ll try again.  What do you mean when you say they won’t tolerate a pitcher who doesn’t throw strikes?

I mean that that pitcher is going to have a very short leash on how long they put up with the free passes and they will move on quickly.

      DH - O'Hearn v. Kjerstad

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      There’s a good chance McCann starts game one with Burnes. Big roster. We can always move Adley from DH to C late in the game. Lose the DH, but have a big enough bench to just pinch hit and double switch to hide the pitcher’s spot coming up.  So really we’d only be sacrificing 2 ABs from O’Hearn/Mounty/Kjerstad but we get Burnes throwing to his boy every pitch.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      We would have lost last night regardless due to zero runs scored by the offense. It is worrisome that Cano looked awful in back to back games. After talk about arm soreness. He has been the one reliable guy. Once we fell behind I don't really care how bad Bowman and Baker are. Hopefully they don't even make the roster for the playoffs.

      Don’t sleep on Povich getting a chance to eliminate the team that traded him away. That kind of stuff matters. The little extra…

      I do worry about the McCann start although he has been hitting lately, so maybe you can justify it.

      It’s the 7th inning with Burnes or Eflin on the bump. A tough lefty is coming up. Who you bringing in?  Perez or Coloumbe?

      By Warehouse · Posted

      My thoughts: - I agree that the Achilles heel is the bullpen and not the offense (especially with Westburg, Mountcastle, Urias, and Kjerstad back). - I also agree that Perez is overused in high leverage situations. This is going to come down to the degree you expect his “clutch” performance to be predictive going forward.  - I second the notion that most good bullpens are built with some degree of dumpster diving.  If you go back to offseason threads, there were not many desired bullpen FA targets (outside of unrealistic ones like Hader) that would have worked out well.  Maybe we haven’t “dumpster dived” well enough as evidenced by the success of Kaleb Ort in Houston. - Jacob Webb hasn’t been sharp since returning from the IL and Bowman has looked shaky his last few times out. - We don’t have a true closer, only a group of mostly effective set-up men in Dominguez, Cano, and Coulombe. - Part of me wishes they would be more aggressive with G-Rod and the Mountain. While we expect the team to continue to contend, you never really know how many times you’ll be back in the playoffs. However, I know in my head they are probably making the right decision. - I also feel like they should be auditioning McDermot, Selby, Young, or Strowd (who has been very good since August after rough Norfolk start). They could option Baker who I think is unlikely to have a path to trusted status after last year’s ALDS performance. This feeling may be mostly driven by dissatisfaction with the current state and wanting something better.  It might be unrealistic to expect options unproven at the MLB level to suddenly step in and be key playoff pieces.

      By waroriole · Posted

      Oh if we’re talking about what they will do, I can see it being something stupid like McCann at C and Adley at DH. I do think Mullins has enough veteranosity to outweigh Hyde’s obsession with L/R matchups.
