A 3+ FIP isn’t bad, Fedde’s Whip is arguably a more important stat, and 1.1 WHIP is better than league average. His .269 BABIP is worse than league average, so the defense has hurt him a little.He’s had 18 starts for 106 innings or a hair under 6 innings per start, so he won’t wear out the pen. I think he’s a splendid pickup, but would cost more than a prospect in the teens, even with our deep farm.

It’s not bad but I think we can and should do better. Akin has a lower career FIP as a reliever. And he’s not good.

JUSTgottaBELIEVE at Pale Hose Talk suggested…..    https://www.soxtalk.com/forums/topic/116409-cease-to-padres-per-passan/?do=findComment&comment=4618225   Seems pretty reasonable to m

They think one of Mayo or Basallo and Kjerstad is the starting point, like Callis said. They may be right…but it’s a dumb thought for the Os or any other team to risk that much talent for the gig

For me, it’s an easy yes and I’d probably go for the enhanced package to add Brebbia for a couple DSL players (excepting Jordan Sanchez, Adriander Meija, Elvin Garcia, Keeler Morfe, and Esteban Meija)

Ok. Let me just make sure that I’m understanding you correctly. 

Are you asking me if I have ideas of better pitchers that we can acquire than Fedde and Kopech?

As I study Fedde on the various pages, I’m liking him more and more. His Savant page is far better than Kremer’s, so he’d be our #3, most likely. He’s got a good walk rate, an excellent GB rate, he doesn’t give up a lot of hard contact. He doesn’t K a lot, but who cares?

What am I missing in your reluctance to get him?

Hard pass for me!

The pitchers mentioned are not difference makers. IMO this would be a hedging move very similar to last season. The problem with that approach IMO is that we most likely will never have a Corbin Burnes on the roster along with Adley and Gunnar. 

IMO the more time/seasons pass by and we don’t get Adley and Gunnar locked up, the less likely it is that they will stay long term. I don’t think there is any realistic scenario that we are better without them/when they are gone. 

At some point you have to start shooting for the bullseye (championship). This trade IMO does very little to meaningfully improve us enough to increase the likelihood that we get there.

To be clear, I wouldn’t stop with this deal.  I’d also try to get Scherzer, Eovaldi, Kikuchi, Bassitt, Cobb, Detmers, or Severino. Or maybe a bigger deal (Skubal, Eflin, Luzardo, Woo) if the right deal materializes.

IMO the goal should not be to simply find someone “a little better than Kremer” who we already know is not a legit #3. And after last season’s horrid showing in the postseason, I don’t want him anywhere near the mound starting a game with our season on the line.

IMO we have the capital to get a difference maker and that’s where the aim should be.

SG will care, lol. We’ll be hearing about how few bats he misses the rest of the year. I fear we would be buying high on him. He’s a good regression candidate.

Yes.  Pitchers that you think are realistically available.

I understand, but I think you’re missing an important goal: we want to improve on our best, yes. We want someone who is nails from day to day, and can do everything.

But we also want to improve our floor. If we get someone significantly better than Irvin, that’s a plus, if the cost isn’t too high. So sure, lets try for a #1, but let’s also try for improved 3,4,5 guys. 
TBH, getting better 3,4,5 guys is probably more likely, and Fedde is certainly superior to all our current choices. The only obvious flaw I can see is that his FB is only about 93, and he doesn’t K a lot of guys. But he compensates with a good GB rate, and with our infield, I don’t think that’s much of a problem.

24 votes.  Only 6 firmly against.   A good indication that it’s light on our side.   As I said, I’d be happy the get just Fedde for Norby and Beavers.   Probably need to take Beavers out and replace him with a pitcher.   Norby and Baumeister?    That would hurt a little bit, wouldn’t it?

Any somewhat reasonable suggestions for Crochet?  I'm assuming there's a lot of Mayo + Basallo + 3 or 4 good prospects would be fair type deals.

Of course not ….I suggested this 

 

Crochet and Robert 

For 

Basallo, Bradfield , McDermott, Bright, and Stowers.

 

And they said we’d be lucky to get Crochet for that 😂

 

They think Robert is a star despite his low batting average and injury history.

 

They think Crochet is worth more than Cease.

Fedde versus Suarez

Fedde versus Kremer?

Who would you pick for the #3 starter?  

What is a 1/2 of season of success really worth?  

 

With Fedde he’s controlled through 2025. He’s better than Suarez if he can maintain…. Not quite is good as the good Kremer but much better than the bad.

Fedde is currently a 4 WAR pitcher this season …. But carry on

You wouldn’t be? 

My point is that @Bemorewins  wouldn’t be.   He thinks we need to aim higher than Fedde.   I have a hard time believing he’d be ok with Fedde + Severino as our only moves at starter.

      Elias: It's on me

      By Pickles · Posted

      I don't remember those conversations.  I pegged them at 90-95 wins in the poll, so there's no way I wouldn't have believed they could win 88 games.  Which of course they didn't, even with the injuries and underperformance. The biggest thing I remember arguing with you about last off-season was that we didn't need to give Ortiz and Cowser up to get Burnes and it would be foolish to give up them both.  I specifically argued that we didn't need to trade Ortiz as we could find a place for him to play, specifically citing the likelihood of injury. I really think you're thinking about somebody else.  I'm also not sure why you think you were one of the voices arguing for "depth" as you were willing to lose Mateo and Urias for basically nothing, and they both contributed to this team and were a bulwark against injury/underperformance.  You were willing to trade Cowser and where would we have been without him? This team's performance this year was well within the boundaries of what I expected, if a bit on the lower end.  The only thing confusing to me about it was what happened to Rutschman. That said, my "confusion" is what is the best path forward.

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      By Roll Tide · Posted

      I think he’s getting somewhere around $180 million

      I agree with all of this but I also believe you took winning for granted. You argued with me in the offseason when I said this team could win as low as 88 games. You said no way, they are too talented, etc…you never wanted to take injuries into account. You felt the depth was too good, etc… Part of the reason you are lost, imo, is because you didn’t feel this scenario existed for this team.

      This is funny. The Guardians were 12th in HR and 14th in scoring.  I guess their run scoring w/out HR wasn't that great. Seven of the top 10 teams in HR made the playoffs with AZ being one of the ones that didn't.

      Two Bergmans wouldn't be the worst thing to have. In case one gets his hand broke by a HBP or something.

      It's baseball the way good teams play it. Been played that way before and will be played that way again and again and hopefully in Baltimore next year and beyond. Not easy to do but quite effective. Man I wish we had a Kwan (hear me Holliday???????)

      SSS   CLE BA was .238. BAL .250. OBP for CLE was .308 and for BAL it was .315.    The Orioles terrible at bats in the playoffs are on the players.
