We’re going to be in a series of ‘openers’ where guys pitch 2-3 innings per appearance, spaced out between a couple games. -
From Ben Clemens Chat: Ben Clemens FanGraphs Chat - 7/1/24 | FanGraphs Baseball Pat: Skubal for Jackson Holliday- Who says No? 2:57 Ben Clemens: Hot take: the O’s say no, but they shouldn’t 2:58 Ben Clemens: Holliday’s line in the minors in June is SO weird 2:58 Ben Clemens: .444 OBP, .378 SLG 2:59 Ben Clemens: wtf is going on here, you know? 2:59 Ben Clemens: since coming back down he’s hitting .252/.425/.421, and I just don’t think those walk skills are obviously gonna play 2:59 Ben Clemens: in the majors 2:59 Ben Clemens: 23% walk rate, i mean…. 2:59 Ben Clemens: I dunno I’m still very optimistic 3:00 Ben Clemens: but I don’t think he’s a surefire all star, and Skubal is right now 3:00 Ben Clemens: I recognize that this puts me in a strange spot as an evaluator 3:00 Ben Clemens: If you’re counting expected WAR, even if you do some non-linear shaped stuff to make avearge players less valuable and stars better, Holliday easily tops Skubal 3:00 Ben Clemens: but I just don’t think it plays that way in real life -
Sooooo, it looks like we can start with Cowser, Mountcastle, and Norby. Are there enough offensive difference makers in there to get the Mariners interest? -
I think they envy Joey Ortiz. He was deemed not good enough for the Baltimore Orioles. He got traded to a team where he earned a chance to play at the big league level. Making over $700k this year. Probably will get a chance to play in the big league for a number of more years. I don't think Stowers and Norby are happier at Norfolk. -
Alemyda feel fell from 21 to 26 BTW. Really like Forrett's improvement on the changeup and the fact that he's hitting 95 in the 5th inning tells me he's holing velocity. He's younger than Baumeister so I'm bumping him for now over him. I'm not huge fan of Rivera's stuff and the fact that they don't let him exceed 40 pitches is a concern for me. His off-speed and breaking balls are inconsistent and while they've promoted him very quickly, nothing jumps out as me as a major league swing and miss pitch. So we have a guy who the Orioles don't think can start, and who doesn't miss bats at great rates against A-ball hitters. He has hit mid 90s this year, but I still just don't see it. He's worth following though as he's pretty skinny, and that he could lead to another velocity bump. -
Let me get that list of players you’re willing to trade and see if we can make this happen.

@Roy Firestone what would you offer Seattle for Kirby?
