A previous GM for the O's (I forgot who) once said the plan was to grow the arms and buy the bats. This seemed like a good strategy at first. Pitching is extremely expensive especially if you are trying to sign them as free agents. I think this strategy failed, however, because of the rate of attrition of major league pitchers. Many get injured. Some never develop their secondary pitches or good control and command. The new MO seems to be to grow the bats and use surplus to acquire pitching. So far, the results seem promising... Thoughts? -

Fair enough. As long as you understand my intent was not to depict anything inaccurately or snipe at you or anything like that. I really was just offering an anecdote to defend the OP a bit, who I thought was getting needlessly dunked on. A lot of times I post a thing and then 5 minutes later I change some words that aren't quite right after some thought, so yeah, I just missed the mark on this one in terms of accurately describing things. My bad. -

I don’t either …. Kjerstad and Norby are too much. He a risky acquisition….I think you offer Norby or Stowers as your number 1 with a couple of others …maybe a 20-30 guy and a DSL player or two. -

Beavers by month: April: .886 May: .821 June: .599 Hopefully he turns it up in July. I feel like a lot of our position prospects find a way to turn it up at the end of the year. Let's see. -
You literally said I showed some skepticism over Basallo and that you pointed out his age and got "shouted down." Neither of which is true statement which is why I gave you the down vote (which I rarely do). I would hope you would accurately depict what I wrote in the future vs using not just a "too harsh" of an adjective in "skepticism," but using the wrong word at all. If you are going to suggest I said something about a prospect, I just ask that your accurate depict what I said. Your original statement made it sound like I suddenly questioned Basallo after his slow start. I give out information on prospects and sometimes it's to point out their struggles. I pointed out how unbalanced Basallo was early i the season and how he did not look like that last year. That was a true statement. I did not follow that up with questioning him as a prospect or being skeptical of his prospect status. Oh, and BTW, I've given you upvotes of late as well. I don't hold grudges and typically give an upvote shortly after giving a down vote, which I only give when I'm misquoted or the post is against our rules significantly. -
Ok. You don’t know what he’s asking for. Even more so, you don’t know what he’d accept. Will another team offer more than Kjerstad, Norby, and McDermott? Can another team top that? Doubtful. Disclaimer: I don’t think Elias would do this but I believe Crochet is gettable without giving up one of the top 3 prospects.
