The Orioles don't need just another average guy with an outlier season. Kikuchi is just another guy. They already have that in guys like Dean Kremer.

They need to aim higher if they're serious about winning in the post season against the hottest teams.

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

Last 2 years:

Kremer: 231.1 IP, 4.20 ERA, 4.64 FIP, 4.28 xFIP, 1.7 WAR

Kikuchi: 269 IP, 3.91 ERA, 3.92 FIP, 3.58 xFIP, 4.6 WAR

Their ERA is close (Kikuchi’s ERA is 5% better than league average while Kremer’s is 2% worse than league average) but nothing else is remotely close. I don’t think Kikuchi is the savior but he’s a lot better than Kremer is.

I feel like this trade deadline is the biggest moment for Elias in his tenure and of course for Rubenstein.  Another token Flaherty/Fuji move is total waste of a year of Adley's/Gunnar's prime.  Still zero extensions signed.  Need to keep a counter to keep track of all these extensions.

What do you think about Holiday Kjerstadt Bradfield and McDermott for Crochett and Robert? We’re giving a ton, but getting back two established stars.

For the life of me I can't figure out why so many here keep pushing to see them trade for Crochet. For a guy who may not even be available come playoff time he sure has a ton of support around here.

For some of us, 41 years w/o even playing a World Series is enough.  For others, they just want to horde prospects.  Crochet doesn't guarantee a World Series, but he's like so many other dominant, young pitchers who have led their teams to the World Series.  Teams with great hitting and mediocre pitching seldom win the World Series but often win the regular season.

Sometimes it’s good to look at the similar pitchers with the same velocity and movement. Some good names on that list.

What would we do with Detmers this year?  No time for a project. That’s for the offseason. Just get Fedde or Kikuchi. 

Detmers has some underlying numbers that say he could be good this year…he also could be a weapon out of the pen.

This was a recently highly rated guy who is left handed and has a good arm. He’a a good get for this year and especially the long term.

I agree. He looked great in that early series, but he’s someone to mess around with in the offseason. It would take a lot to get him. We need to use our resources for SP this year. Detmers would cost about the same as Crochet. I would think. One of the big 3 stuff or a package that hurts bad.

Those are a lot better than Kremer’s comparables on Savant.

Huh?  He won’t cost anything near that.

      Just a friendly, helpful advice regarding posting here.  Please do not take this fully as criticism...  I'm just trying to help you out. This place sees its share of uneducated posters, like any fan forum does.  But it's also populated by some of the most knowledgeable baseball fans I've ever personally known.  My role on this board is generally to bring a little levity to counterbalance some of the seriousness, but when I do post serious opinions, I don't just pull them out of nowhere. I put them up for specific reasons when warranted, with some good evidence behind my viewpoint.  I've virtually hung out with the folks on this board for a decade and a half, and I respect them too much to do waste their time doing otherwise. And let me tell you, not a single soul here is going to take someone seriously on this board if they frequently do stuff like start bad-take reaction threads, or if they consistently do things like cite a player's batting average as the all-important, be-all-end-all offensive metric.  It makes one look like a three-year-old playing with Legos, while the adults in the room are building advanced rocket propulsion systems.  My point is, I know everyone wants to have their views taken seriously, and to have their views respected on the board (otherwise, why would they even be here, posting them?).  Folks should just keep an eye on and understand where they are, and the level of game they should step up to, in order to have the best experience possible.  Many of the folks here are very smart, and very serious.  They aren't playing whiffle ball, and they never will be.

      Makes sense.  Especially for Mayo.

      My guess is that certain decisions need Elias approval.   Vavra and Soto were default decisions that Hyde/Eve/Frobby can make But Holliday and Mayo?  "Some clocks are more equal than others."

      Elias said in an interview with 105.7 that Eflin was the best SP that was available. Skubal and Crochet weren’t deal. Roger was a guy he could get for the #5 slot and he wanted a left hander for the rotation. Cleveland is very good against LHP. I’d give it more than 1 start.

      Listen I like Jazz as a player, I think he's an exciting guy to watch, I've even had him alerted in my MLB app for the last couple of seasons.  I just don't think he was ever on the O's radar, and there are plenty of reasons why that would have been the case.  My issue is with criticizing Elias for not getting a player that didn't fill a need as clearly as the players he got do.  You and others may not love all the names we got for the pitching staff, but they are clear upgrades in a clear area of need.  An area of need much greater than who plays LF against left handed pitching.  There's been a ton of roster turnover in the past few days; there was no reason to have even more.
