SD gave up their #3, 4, 6 & 29 preseason ranked prospect.  I think Snelling was ranked in top 100, not sure about Mazur.

Adam wasn't ranked but was highly regarded-2nd round pick who got to the majors in 2 years.  Now he'll be in the same Marlins rotation with Max Meyer who was his high school teammate in cold short season Minnesota!!

I'm surprised Roster Resource doesn't already have Connor Norby - Kyle Stowers 1-2 in their batting order.

Thrilled for those guys!

Ah to be a young major league baseball player making bank in south florida.

That's fair. For some reason I thought Povich and McDermott were ranked in the top 100. 

I think various ranking agencies have Povich and McDermott ranked in the 90's.  They aren't ranked by every organization.

Burns was acquired in an offseas9n trade. He has absolutely nothing to do with the trade deadline

Yes he does because if he wasn’t on the team we are probably selling off pieces with how bad the rest of the starting rotation has been this year.

Are the Dodgers gonna sit back with Padres making moves?  I think they nab Crochet. 

I don’t think the Dodgers are even concerned with the Padres at all and they just got half their rotation back from the IL

Gonna suck being stuck on a team doing nothing but losing for awhile, but every other aspect is a win for them.  Glad that they are going to get their chance to shine.

Controllable SP is much more valuable than RP. Erceg was Brett Phillips, a failed hitting prospect and he's not without warts, he's not been very valuable this season among RP fWAR.

Neither is Rogers.  I guess Rogers is slightly bigger upgrade on 2024, but 5 years of Erceg could be huge if he improves to a true shutdown reliever (a big assumption).

    • One thing I have never understood about the Anthony switch hitting is he seems like a 100% better hitter hitting left handed compared to right handed.  To me it is night and day.  Now I don't know the exact numbers but I just see the way he swings.  He swings a lot better as a lefty compared to a right handed hitter.  He has had a really good season but it may be time for him to do a Mullins and swing just as a lefthander. 
    • True.  But he came through enough when the Os have really needed a guy this year.  Any guy.  I don't believe it is a huge loss but at the same time I don't think he was a throwaway either.  Which is what I believe the Orioles thought he was and is.
    • One of the hitting coaches talked publicly about Santander's process (which involves some degree of guessing, like he sits on a particular pitch until he gets it) and then he went into a bit of a slump. Not sure that was actually related, but it at least makes me wonder. Generally I don't expect strategies to be made public.
    • It is my firm belief that the Orioles are suffering from an organizational flaw.  Mainly in their hitting and fielding instruction.  Mainly at the lower levels.  I actually believe that their pitching metrics and instruction are good.  It is just that they never draft enough pitchers to fully realize the fruits of their labor and the good minor league pitchers that they do have?  They don't extend and pitch their young guys enough.  It seems as if they are always being babied.  So other teams snatch them up in trades because they see the potential and they tend do pretty well with them afterwards.  Without having to do really anything other than a few tweeks.  Imo the Orioles hitting and fielding instruction has a big flaw.  There is a major disconnect between what they are teaching in the minor leagues and how that translates to the major leagues.  For example 2 players in Mayo and Holliday appear to be complete novices when it comes to hitting major league pitching.  This despite doing very well in the minors.  I could list others as well but those are the 2 prime examples.  They are not just bad.  They are almost historically bad.  Especially when you add it the fact they are top ranked players in the minors.    And the fielding?  I cannot for the life of me understand how these players come up to the majors so lacking in fundamentals.  In addition I believe that Manager Hyde has no business coaching a major league team trying to win a world series.  He is fine as a placard when there is a team that is supposed to tank.   He can keep things on a fairy level keel.    Like the Orioles from 2017 to 2021.  But his approach as a manager in getting a team to be disciplined and focused on taking that next step to the playoffs and beyond is severely lacking imo.  The Orioles play very poor fundamental baseball in all facets.  Hitting.  Running.  Fielding.  Pitching.    That is simply coaching 101.   I sincerely hope that the Orioles brass understands this and makes the proper moves this coming off season. 
    • The poster child for the old school approach has struck out 26 times in 632 plate appearances.  He's hitting .322, his OPS+ is 109.
    • He was good in the pen last year. He had a 7.71 ERA in the pen this year and an 8.08 ERA overall the last 3 months. 
    • In 2008, the MLB average was .264.  Today it’s .244.   It’s very tough to hit .300 these days.  in 2008 there were 41 players with 400 PA who hit .300.  Right now the 41st player with 350 PA (lowered since there’s still 12ish games to play) is batting .273.    Maybe some part of that is offenses deemphasizing BA.   The bigger part, IMO, is that pitching just keeps getting harder and harder to hit.
