Fedde is throwing his change up a lot more now (from 4% to 20% of the time) and the spin rate on his change up has increased. The spin rate is 1,708 RPM this compared to 1,516 in 2022.

I also share your concern that the Orioles will trade for Fedde and he reverts back to his Nats performance. I'll trust Elias and Sig to decide if he's worth it or not.

I've hoped for awhile for Jorge Mateo to get to be the Giants SS, with Elias and Farhan agreeing on something helpful to Baltimore.

Logan Webb just took some ERA damage after Brett Wisely couldn't knock down a bad hop ball.    Wisely is the rare bird who has been getting regular MLB shortstop run who was not a minor league shortstop, not a move many can do.

They aren't out of the NL race because no one is, and Jorge Mateo might be one of the world's 30 or 40 best shortstops this summer.

This is the kind of deal I was thinking about the other day when I wondered if there were deals of the "cash considerations" or lower cost nature we could do.  I think the only limiting factor here is that Elias might not want to trade out of the present 40 man - other than Urias and a couple others.  I think we all know that he values Mateo, but is there the additional "loyalty" idea of sending players who have contributed to our winning away?  I don't know the answers, but Mateo is one that I would not really hesitate to use to get some help.

That doesn’t mean he won’t.   He just doesn’t want to discuss it now.

They are also around 11-12 games out of playoff spot. That’s if they won out and the other teams continue same pace.

If there is "loyalty" to a guy that you could trade to make your team better, then Elias isn't the guy you want running the ship.  I think loyalty is a good thing to a certain extent, but if you can turn Mateo+ into a useful bullpen arm, I think you have to do it.

Right.   When the time comes and the Rangers ask him if they can trade him he’ll probably ask for some kind of no-trade moving expenses (yuk yuk) and waive it.  Or not.   But what he said in that interview is meaningless.

Mullins' future here is a tough one to gauge.  The Phillies would probably be happy to have him, but I don't see Ced moved this season.   If Elias were interested in moving Ced, maybe a rental reliever like Seranthony Dominguez (29) would make sense?  Naturally, adding a CF would be important... a RHH one would be ideal, and there are a few available.

They aren't trading for a good RH CF, in my opinion, and I'd hate for them to trade for a guy like Tommy Pham, which is about what I'd expect.

If they wanted Robert Jr, I would guess Mullins is in the deal.

I agree to no on Pham.  We don't have a quality RHH CF ready to contribute, so if we can add a solid reliever by moving Ced and dealing for that RHH CF, it would help the current roster.  Again, I'm not expecting this, but rather offering some suggestions on how to improve.

Well we just don’t know if the reports were true about them wanting a RH OFer who can play CF.

And we don’t know if things have changed because when we heard that, Hays and Mullins were giant block holes offensively.  Maybe their improvement has changed that thought?

Or maybe Kjerstad playing well has changed things? There are only so many spots.

Yeah, I just mentioned in another thread I wouldn't be shocked if on some days we see Hays in CF and Kjerstad in LF at home.

      2024 Week 1: Ravens @ Chiefs

      The fumble was on Rosengarten.  He let Chris Jones to the outside when Faalele was supposed to be helping him to the inside.  Really awful play by Rosengarten.

      Did you think he was hurting the team at shortstop in the first half?

      Except Hyde has done EXACTLY just that - he plays waiver wire nobodies like Rivera and Maton over Coby Mayo. And a trash trade acquisition in Jimenez (who should be on waivers) over Mayo at the DH spot as well. And Hyde played a former waiver wire pickup in O'Hearn over Kjerstad. As if O'Hearn is some sort of established star.  O'Hearn has a .658 OPS over the past 30 days, and a .729 OPS in the 2nd half this season after a .756 in the 2nd half in 2023 - so he's had two straight seasons of significant 2nd half declines. O'Hearn doesn't deserve to be treated as some sort of established commodity, but Hyde does so to the team's detriment. Not playing and developing a top 10 hitting prospect in all of baseball in Mayo is irresponsible and egregiously terrible roster management by Elias and Hyde. Especially considering awful players like Rivera and Jimenez are getting playing time over him.

      Again, it couldn’t have been said better.   Gunnar is in his second year and will more than likely get better at everything he does as a baseball player.  Which is something to look forward to.

      Except he really isn't hurting the team at SS.  Again, he's an 8+ WAR player this year.  I don't know why anyone would want to argue for moving him off a position where he's performing at an MVP level.  This season is already as valuable as Ripken's '83 MVP season and more valuable than any other season Ripken had except 1984 and his monster 1991 campaign. I saw Cal play at shortstop, too.  And I think when we all think of Cal at shortstop, we think of the refined version....the guy that made 3 errors in a season (and somehow lost the Gold Glove to Ozzie f'ing Guillen) and the guy that had a whole chapter dedicated to him in George Will's "Men at Work." You neglected to respond to the idea that Gunnar can get better at the position.  There's a lot to like with him defensively already, but he's not a fully finished product and I don't think anyone here is arguing that he is.  I suspect that if you took Cal in his second season and matched that up with Gunnar, you'd see some similarities.  I also suspect that Gunnar isn't the defender that he'll be in 5 or 6 years from now, just like Ripken wasn't the best defender at SS in his early seasons. Gunnar is a 5 tool player.  There's nothing that he can't do on a baseball field and I'm sure if you put him in a "traditional power position" like a corner outfield spot, he'd be just fine. But I find it funny that you want to be called old fashioned, yet here we are discussing Cal Ripken, the guy that broke the mold for what a shortstop can be and turned it into a power position.  Ripken was ultimate anti-traditionalist of the position and responsible for the slew of power hitting shortstops that came in after him.  And quite frankly, I don't know why we're talking about power when we're debating defense.
