Ven6 Major Leaguer Cup of Coffee

From MLB Trade Rumors:

He allowed 12 runs (11 earned) through his first 11 2/3 MLB frames, though he fanned 14 hitters against three walks. Avila’s fastball sat in the 94-95 MPH range, while he also showed a cutter and a knuckle-curve.

The righty spent all of last season working with San Francisco’s top minor league team. He allowed an even three earned runs per nine over 72 frames, striking out 21.3% of batters faced with a solid 46.2% grounder rate.

Those are the key metrics right there that might make him a helpful project.

Elias fascination with high velocity/spin pitchers who can't find the strike zone will never end. LOL

Yes with all the failures Elias has had the last few years this is a perfectly logical reaction.  Sorry I am guilty of a troll getting to me also.

This is a secondary or more accurately a thirdly or even a fourthly move.  Something he does all of the time.  It means next to nothing. 

Elias loves to do this kind of thing.  And overall......it doesn't matter!   He may hit 1 out of 11 or even 2 out of 20 of these things....which is fine!  It is all reward and no risk.  So whatever.    At the very least it provides depth in the minor leagues. 

Will it make or break the Os?  Hell no.

If you can't tell the difference between me talking about Elias's fascination with other teams high velocity/high spin castoffs who can't stay on the major league club, and real actual major league moves?  Then you haven't been paying attention.

I could give you 5 examples just in the past year.  Just another example of people like you COMPLETELY lying about a post I make.  And don't worry......you aren't alone.  Lots of people do it on here. 

Again.....it doesn't matter.  This move.  Doesn't matter.   But if you want to call me a troll for you thinking I THINK that these types of moves somehow invalidate what Elias has done here overall for the past 5 years?

 

Then you be you.    But it isn't true.  :)

If this is fresh blood for AAA, great. If they can do something with him and make him into Albert Suarez of 2023 Yennier Cano, great. 
 

But I still want a reliable bullpen piece or two, and this doesn’t move the needle.

But for Future reference, is it “Ah-vee-ah” or “Ah-vill-ah”? I never knew which it is.

He's about 1.5 years younger than Dean Kremer, and got his college start with the same San Joaquin Delta Mustangs, but Kremer was a couple years before him there.

He is the undisputed minor leagues reliever Wins vulture this decade.

      Back to back 90 or more win seasons

      Still with a chance to do this for the first time since 1982-83. Would be one more nice accomplishment for this organization.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By Frobby · Posted

      The weird thing about our bullpen is that they rarely blow leads.   They have a 69% save rate, 4th highest in baseball.  They make it scary, but generally, when they have the lead, they get the job done.   Where they are really bad is keeping games close when we’re down a run or two, last night being a classic example of that.   This year’s team has 32 comeback wins, compared to 48 last year.   Why is that?   Part of it is obviously on the offense, but part of it is that the bullpen doesn’t keep us in striking distance when we’re behind.   One way you can tell this is by the W/L records of the starters and the bullpen.  Last year, the starters were 57-40, this year they’re 60-49.   The starter got the decision 12 more times this year than last year, including 9 more losses (with 3 games to play).   That tells you that when the team is losing when the starter is pulled, they keep losing.  Meanwhile, the relievers were 44-21 last year, 28-22 now. They’re not picking up wins because they don’t give the offense a chance to catch up and get the win for the bullpen guy.

      I do not disagree with above posts.  Also I am pretty sure that this time last season, the Texas Rangers Hangout was saying the exact same things as the Rangers Pen.  Point being, you never know until you know.  The pen is shaky, but is capable of putting together a solid run from time to time.

      DH - O'Hearn v. Kjerstad

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Roster Resource thinks it has tonight's lineup and Kjerstad on bench again. He is 7 AB shy of 130 MLB regular season AB with 3 games left, and if he ends up short some prospect list makers may still label him one.    If still with the Orioles, he will be 26 years old by Sarasota. I think the OP has its answer as it has been Cole and Lopez these two nights and the team is preparing for that intensity.

      I’d have brought up Young immediately after DFAing Kimbrel. Baker has no place on this club this year. Would have been nice to see Young up here.

      Yeah, but they could've brought him up a month ago and seen what they might have...And Im not "pining" for Brandon Young, just wondering if he's any better than some we have in the pen..
