Not sure what you mean by difference maker.  Nardi and Harvey certainly strengthen the bullpen.   I don’t really consider either a dominant arm.

I think they would both be in the conversation for our best reliever at the moment with Coulombe out. Unless they get Mason Miller, Helsley, or move Crochet to the pen, I think they are fine getting good set up guys versus one true stud.

White Sox once again drastically overvaluing their players.

They take that in a heartbeat and we would be crazy to do it.

Nardi is a guy I really like.  There isn’t much in his profile to dislike. High end arm who could become even better in Baltimore imo.

I think as of right now, I target Nardi and a Detmers/Estevez package. 

I wouldn’t mind that LAA package. Estevez has been good this year and should remain good if his BB rate stays this low. I’d be a little concerned it goes back up at some point but if they’re acquiring 2 relievers, I’d be fine with Estevez as the lesser of those 2 guys.

Estevez isn’t my favorite guy to obtain but with the teams that are likely to sell right now, I think he represents a good target and not someone you have to deal a ton to get.  He’s a very good reliever that represents a huge upgrade for us imo.

Probably not, as to your question.    That’s 3 top ten picks in our system and Kjerstad is top 25 on many sites.   You think they can do better?

Actually looking at FG current Board, HK is among the highest speculatively tradable players.  

Spencer Jones if the Yankees Yank.  De Paula for LAD.  Delauter on CLE.  (Extreme out of the money option: TBR did a big roster reshuffle selling and buying.  How fun would that be?!)

Nevermind... I get what you meant. :)

Ok, I’m just curious why?   Fedde is signed at 7.5M for next year and has been a very solid #2-#3 type starter this year.  McDermott is most likely a reliever.  Chace has talent but has control issues as well.  Bradfield needs to hit.  Is Bradfield the biggest deterrent or just the whole thing?

I'm just not buying that Fedde is going to keep up his first-half performance. The White Sox would be wise to sell-high on him... but I don't want the O's to be the sucker.

It's honestly quite possible that Irvin and Suarez outperform him in the 2nd half.

I like Estevez and Nardi a lot, I'm not sure what you see in Detmers other than age, I guess. He'd be a solid enough 3/4 if he doesn't cost a lot.

I’d take that bet.  Fedde might tail off in the second half but there aren’t any signs of it.   On the other hand …..

Pick any available pitcher and you’ll find a reason not to acquire him.   Fedde is worth the risk.  You’re not tied into him long term if he goes south but you at least have him for 1+ if he’s the real deal.

Detmers seems like someone to target in the off season.  I don’t know why you want a guy the lowly Angels had to demote to AAA and still hasn’t gotten it together.

Yeah, I honestly don't see it with Detmers but maybe I'm missing something.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      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

      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.
