The innings limit is not something based on any science. Yes you would assume throwing more innings than ever would do damage to a recently reconstructed arm but the data doesn’t really back that up. 
 

that said I think most teams are still very conservative when it comes to pitchers returning from injury so it’s certainly relevant. 

I'm not certain the concern is even just injury, but there are also concerns of a tired arm. Luis Gil has destroyed his innings coming off of TJS this year and after being the best pitcher in the AL for 15 starts, his last two he is not the same guy. I'm not sure if there is any science to building up stamina, and I don't have time to look, but it will be interesting to see going forward how these guys who are crushing their max IP after coming off injury hold up stamina wise.

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

I’d prefer they trade value to get a starter from a team like Seattle. If Seattle hopes to be competitive in the playoffs they will need to find some more offense. 

Mateo and Mountcastle would be 1st and 3rd in OPS among players with 150+ ABs on Seattle's rosters. Feels like there is a trade to be done with the M's for pitching without giving up one of our top 5 prospects, especially if a ML ready hitting prospect or two (Norby? Stowers?) is included.

The issue is they've had some pitching injuries of late. Who would we want from the M's?

Seattle is in the market for a starter, they aren't trading anyone from their rotation.

Horrible trade proposal by Bleacher Report: 

Garrett Crochet to the Baltimore Orioles

To BAL: LHP Garrett Crochet

To CWS: 1B/OF Heston Kjerstad, LHP Cade Povich, 2B Connor Norby, OF Dylan Beavers

 

I don't hate this

Throw in Kopech and lets go Kjerstad, McDermott, Norby, Beavers, Fabian, Stowers, Bright

My thoughts regarding this trade deadline:

  • The Mariners will deal for bats via farm system depth, not from their starting rotation, so an O's & M's deal is not likely.
  • Elias will not seek a deal with the White Sox for Robert or Crochet.  Kopech? Possibly.
  • Elias will not trade for a 'big bat', but could add a RHH OF who can play a solid CF.
  • Elias will add a starter and a reliever.  The quality of each may not match the hopeful expectations of many posters here.
  • Elias will not trade Holliday, Basallo, or Mayo.  Kjerstad is a possibility to be dealt, but I would not be surprised if he remains.
  • Most posters here will be disappointed when the deadline ends, in that we didn't acquire enough talent. 

Again, these are just my thoughts as of now.  I could feel different tomorrow. :P

Good summary. This would be my guess as well. Won't stop people from repeating proposals that make no sense and then getting mad when they don't happen.

I really don't like that trade either.

Yea. It is not good. 
 

if he establishes that he’s indeed healthy, Scherzer seems like he could be an ideal rental candidate as the salary relief alone would be a nice get for the rangers, along with whatever we’d send their way

This is the way and I have to think this is what Elias is going to be looking for in a trade. Giving up 4 or 5 prospects for a pitcher who could be gone after 2 years is a steep price.

How is it an awful trade? With the exception of Povich all are replaceable or trading from depth. 

A.  Kopech is awful, 5ish FIP and essentially Mike Baumann + a tick of FB velo.

B.  Even if AAA guys are “expendable” or “replaceable” trading all 7 at this deadline is not wise (need some dry powder for the offseason and next trade deadline too)

      Can Cowser still win Rookie of The Year over Gil/Wells ?

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      All of what you posted is why you have to take both dWAR and fWAR with a grain of salt when it comes to valuing defense.  OAA strictly gives you how good a player is at his position vs other players at his position. There is no guessing involved. Now could OAA receive some tweaking, especially with infielders, I think so. I don't think OAA is perfect by any means, but let's say Santana did save his team 12 runs and let's say a SS was at 0 runs saved. Why should he be penalized for playing a less stressful position? In the end he did save runs vs a SS that didn't save or lose runs. I guess in the end you look at all the defensive metrics (OAA, dWAR, DRS) and then make your opinion based off them. I also use my scouting eye and watching most of the games, I'd say Cowser is an above average defensive outfielder with plus arm strength and way below average accuracy.

      A well-kept secret: the O’s rotation has the 6th best ERA in baseball

      Burnes and Eflin were fantastic keeping the team moving forward in a year Felix, Bradish and Grayson were mostly gone. It is fuzzy for me if you combine Elias' team's results in the cases of Albert Suarez and Trevor Rogers if that's a good job or a bad job. Some talk about people like Pivetta, but I don't see a ton of April/May/June demand.     Eflin, Grayson, Kremer, Povich and Suarez leave Rogers, McDermott and Young 6/7/8 already.    Are those guys ever going to pitch? Povich and Suarez showed enough in September it seems worth it to see April. We rarely see a decision Elias doesn't like to defer, and the first half of 2025 will give information how the roster needs to be managed.    How strong is Felix?    What setbacks do Bradish and Wells have?    Can Grayson hold up more than 2 straight months? Elias is building a body of work he'll win the bids for Corbin Burnes and Zach Eflin when necessary, but I don't think this winter is one of those times.

      Lugo is pretty underrated honestly.

      OAA and dWAR are two measure that people use to determine if a player is a good defensive player or not. They absolutely can be mentioned when talking defense. They both measure the defensive ability of a player, though they do it differently. Acting like it some kind of horror to mention them together is one of the more ridiculous stances I've ever seen you take here.  NOBODY said they measure the exact same thing and the EXACT same way, but they absolutely are two measures people use to determine if a player is good defensively.  OAA shows Cowser to be a well above average defensive outfielder while dWAR shows Cowser to be more average. I think OAA in this case absolutely is a better indicator of Cowser's defensive ability.

      Cowser has not exactly been great down the stretch this year. That WPA is from his unclutchness.  Saying that, Gil has not exactly been a world beater his last two months of the season either. Gil also gets the New York bonus from some in the media so I still think he'll get the nod. But maybe Cowser can pull it off despite the K's and unclutchness.

      1. It's not too hard to cherry pick guys who had success in hindsight. The problem is picking those guys in advance. Not sure what your point is here. Yes, it would suck losing to a pitcher like Lugo but maybe Danny Coulombe gets some big outs or Ramon Urias is the series MVP.  2. Last year we choked. Hope it's different this year. Also let's not forget the opponent matters. Sometimes you run into a buzzsaw, it happens.  3. We have all the pieces necessary to win a championship but there are 11 other teams and it's hard to win the WS. Yes, we have weaknesses. If I had to guess, we will beat KC but fall short of the championship. Whatever happens, go O's.

      Who sits for Slater in Game One?

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      Can't see them sitting Cowser. He hasn't sat much against lefties all year.
