No, the one he'll turn into once you put him an O's uni again.

So you are letting the 34.2 innings he threw for us last year irrationally cloud your judgment as I expected.  He may struggle again if we acquire him, he may not.  The 2024 version of him would be a huge upgrade to the rotation and it is certainly worth considering if the price is right.

They've been starting Kjerstad in LF and he's been making all the routine catches as far as I know. Im inclined to hang onto him at the moment.

This is classic OH talk (why I limit my time here). There is someone lying in wait somewhere on this board to explain to you the difference between pitching in the AL Central vs. AL East, but I'll leave that to them. At a certain level, I root for the laundry and he didn't wear the laundry well once already when it mattered and I guarantee there are many paying customers who feel the same way that I do.

I don't think anyone here needs that explained to them.  We just typically expect better analysis then "he was bad for us over 34 innings once so no" which is what you offered.  Would you not have been interested in re-acquiring Jake Arrieta after he went to the Cubs had he been available?

You could argue that Westburg at 3B and Holliday at 2B with Kjerstad in RF and Mountcastle at 1B makes Mayo expendable.   Just saying.

Let’s put Mayo at 1B and make Mountcastle expendable for trade. Just saying

🤣

Even if Skubal is or becomes available, you already know many here will not want to acquire him. They will squawk about the (not wanting to surrender valuable prospects) or propose scenarios where Norby, Urias, Hays, Stowers are enough to acquire one of the best pitchers in the game.

You don’t need to have prescient powers to see that coming…lol

Fortunately, or maybe unfortunately for you, it comes down to what Elias would offer for Skubal.

Agreed. It's all in Elias' hands (Skubal/substantive acquisition or not).

Hopefully he pulls the right levers.

      Goodbye Brandon Hyde!

      By Flightless · Posted

      Hey man, It breaks my heart that the O’s destroyed our season of hope. Hyde’s got to go. Watching those post-game excuses and lack of fire is not good for inspiration - club house or fans!. Pathetic. Call out stuff, not play victim. Apparently every team had amazing pitching! (Eye roll). A re-set is going to happen. A few more guys getting experience, a few guys going away, and revamping that horrible bullpen. Easy moves: let Santander walk, don’t waste money on LT contracts for SP - even Burnes, get Alex Bregman! , get more speed!

      Where are the pollyannas?

      By Emory Eagle · Posted

      Division is going to be tough next year.  Rays have reloaded, Red Sox have a new core in place and will likely supplement with a big Fa splash or two, and the Yankees will continue to be the Yankees. Ultimately O’s success or lack thereof will rest on the improvement of their young positional talent, but seems like we need to add some kind of weapon vs left handed pitching.  And will need to either replace or resign Burnes, not something easy to do without significant financial investment.

      I think the 10 straight postseason losses have/will continue their toll on O’s fans . When doubts and pessimism about the team’s performance, the empty seats could still be issue when next October comes .  My hope is Rubenstein and Elias will conclude that status quo is NOT acceptable .

      Adley shares tough health admission

      Look, I don't want to insult you or anybody else, but arguing that a 55 win team is the same as a 95 win team is moronic beyond belief. It's just that simple.

      Adley shares tough health admission

      By MDK02 · Posted

      So everything is great as long as we just make the playoffs? At what point is expecting to win a playoff game acceptable? Isn’t the goal to win a WS or is it to win more than 80 games? If we’re just going to keep failing when it really matters in the playoffs then 55 wins or 95 wins doesn’t make a difference in the grand scheme of things. In fact, you could argue 55 is better for the long term.

      Right right after both Adley and Hyde have been saying for 2 months that he is completely healthy

      Good point. I long for the days of 55 wins when we didn't have to worry about postseasons and such.
