Then they remember Mike Elias is in charge.  He isn’t not gonna overpay as an over reaction, some Gm’s might panic and give in but he won’t.  

And this isn't a Padres situation with an owner desperate to win a World Series now. I don't want Elias to trade away multiple top prospects getting infatuated with one player. Skubal is very good, but the difference between Skubal and Fedde for the the remainder of this season is (most likeley) nominal in terms of production.

The acquisition cost between the two is not and I'd rather not trade Holliday, Kjerstad and two other prospects for a pitcher who has never gone over 149 innings in a full season.

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

If that’s all Puk got in return with 2.5 years of service time left, there’s no reason the O’s can’t grab 2 backend relievers.

De Los santos has blown up this year.  He was in the futures game Ops over 1000 and 28 homers.

Not an overwhelming return either. Not excited that the Os didn’t beat this. Hope they end up with Nardi is some reliever that is high leverage and multiple years of control (at least one).

Sometimes being aggressive gets you the better deal.  The Marlins probably want to move more guys and wanted to get a deal out of the way early.

He has definitely been better but Fangraphs said this in their May Dbacks prospect update:

De Los Santos has had plus-plus big league raw power since he was 19, but the rest of his game has been sushi raw. For basically his entire time as a prospect, including right now, De Los Santos’ future has hinged on whether or not he’ll get to enough power to support a lower-OBP first base profile. His selectivity at the plate and infield defense have ranged from “immature” to “god awful,” and the former was a big part of why he had a below-average all-around offensive season at Amarillo last year despite hitting 20 bombs.

Keith Law mentioned in a chat last month he doesn’t consider him a good prospect, being heavily aided by the run environment there. Not that it’s the end all be all, as he obviously has huge raw power, but even at best he’s likely a Mark Trumbo type profile with arguably even worse defense. He clearly has upside but still not sure that’s a huge haul for a solid back end reliever that you could have for 3 postseasons. I would happily make that trade.

      Was the offense just in a run of bad luck on this road trip?

      Yeah. I mean analytics obviously is huge in baseball these days. Still people like myself who have been watching the 0's since the early 1960's still are entitled to view and comment on things from the eye and between the ears test.  I don't get upset when people speak about deep stats and numbers... Moose saying opinions are obnoxious because people comment about  things from an old perspective is not only kind of dismissive, it's kind of rude too. We all have opinions.

      2024 Week 2: Ravens vs Raiders

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      And think of how many quick offensive possessions we have too. That leads to a tired defense. They ran Henry once in the 4thQ yesterday. They didn’t target Zay after he caught his TD pass. They used 12 personnel less than last week and barely used play action, despite the fact that Crosby was all over them.    No game plan. No thought on how to do anything. Made Henry a priority and then you don’t know how to use him. Just stupidity all around.

      Candidates for O’s MiL Pitcher of the Year

      The Orioles like to try and give this award to someone considered a prospect so McDermott and Povich can't be ruled out despite their partial seasons there. Brandon Young should definitely be in the running though.

      It's going to be an extremely anticlimactic and somewhat undeserved champagne celebration when the O's eventually clinch what we have to assume will be the wild card. Like, it's hard to imagine a party of any kind right now. They will do it though, and that's fine. It'll just feel weird from the fan perspective.

      Here something else to consider. Do the Orioles have a lot of players who have a tendency to hit the ball to the same parts of the field? Seems to me that the other team's advanced scouts do a good job of positioning their fielders against the Orioles more often than not. Now maybe it's just bad luck. Or maybe, teams have figured out how to pitch and defend against the Orioles hitters?  I'm not saying they do or not, but I do know this team has been absolutely pathetic hitting with RISP late;ly and having productive at bats. Seems the Orioles hitting philosophy is hit the ball as hard as possible at all times and let "luck" decide the results.

      It's a good thing Irvin only cost the Orioles this guy: I was pretty skeptical of Hernaiz being anything more than a utility guy and had no issues with moving him for a guy who could potentially help in the rotation. This problem with Irvin is he went from this guy in 2023: to this guy in 2024: Don't worry though, we could lose Irvin because we have this guy in AAA who we gave up Norby and Stowers for:

      I am "old school" and I don't disagree, but it also doesn't have to be either/or in my opinion. I would substitue the word "tiring" for "obnoxious" above. 😀 I admittedly don't understand all the data and look at some of it in bewilderment. You can teach old dogs new tricks but it takes longer. I'm trying to learn and follow but still hang on to what I know best. (My smart phone ain't real smart either!!!!!) I suspect I may not be alone in the realm of Oriole fandom.
