Who would you rather have in your organization. Gunnar or Adley?

It's not a slam dunk, but I'd go with Gunnar. That said, I can understand someone choosing Adley. Having both is a fantastic foundation to build on.

fWAR gives Kikuchi and Burnes both 4.7 for the Past 1 Calendar Year.

He has been pretty strong since it seems like figuring some stuff out June-ish last year.

I smell collusion on when his high school teammate Ohtani got what was reported as I think Statcast's fastest batted ball ever when they faced each other earlier this year.

Pearson basically strikes out as many guys as Akin with a higher WHIP. 

Yeah, he's got good velo on his FB, but it gets hit strangely hard.  Maybe to do with failure to locate, pitch mix or something like that.  Baseball savant likes his breaking stuff.  My sense is that this type of guy has a way higher ceiling than the Akins, Tates and Webbs of the world.  They are fine RPs, but we need some higher upside potential guys in the system or at the back end of the pen.  Someone who, if they take the next step (or get hot through the playoffs), can K someone when there's a runner on third with less than 2 outs, or strand the ghost runner on 2nd in extras.

    • Holliday went 1 for 2 with 3 walks on Friday night. 2024: .444 OBP, .911 OPS MiLB Career: .447 OBP, .931 OPS His OBP is EXACTLY what this O's team needs, would fill a key offensive weakness at 2nd base, help grind opposing pitching, and magnify the power up and down the lineup.  It's all dependent on his ability to throw and play 2B at a passable level. If Holliday starts to hit at the ML level, the question of who bats leadoff is over for the foreseeable future and we can go back to complaining about 1 slumping hitter or backup catcher at the bottom of the lineup.
    • This. We literally have no lineup holes right now, and Mayo, Norby, Jax lurk. Any trade discussion should center around the four most essential and crucial elements to O's success for the balance of the regular season and playoffs: 1. pitching 2. pitching 3. pitching 4. damn, forgot the 4th one. oh yeah, its pitching.
    • All I know is that Suárez has earned at least one more start, after today.
    • Scherzer still looks like a guy who would be a nice add to our rotation in the second half if the Rangers are sellers. 
    • Not happening. I don’t disagree, but Kremer will be slotted in the rotation.
    • I wouldn’t either but the word here is that he’s going back to rotation . Suarez supposedly the one  to be moved to bullpen . I think they should wait and see if Irvin can rebound . If Irvin can’t match Suarez’s work, then he should be moved to bullpen 
    • Yes that’s what I was asking. COC was completely off base in his comment. Judge is a great player, and apparently a nice guy. I have nothing against him, or most Yankees, for that matter, though Gil’s tats are off putting. I am expecting a bit of pro Yankee bias, but that’s ok. Also, home runs is a very glittery stat, and might sway some folks. But it should be Gunnar, at least based on the first 81.
