Sure, totally agree with you there. But they were definitely contributors to the thinktank there, and they assuredly have taken a lot from Luhnow and the rest of the gang there.  And we now have

You’re entitled to that opinion. I just wouldn’t let those early season starts define him considering he had no ST. 

The past performance this season really doesn’t matter. It would come down to does he look like a #1/#2 SP?  He looked really good against a tough Dodgers team last night.

I just think he's the ultimate guy to try and maximize a situation for personal gain.  Had a hell of a season last year, not coincidentally it was a contract year.  Wouldn't surprise me if he wanted to get out of SFG and decided to turn it on a bit as the deadline approaches to see if there's any takers.

I don't trust that dude at all.  

Although I would say it'd be hilarious to see Philip hit the ceiling after hearing him talk.  Sounds like a little Eminem wannabe.

Kjerstad needs to be replaced with Stowers or Beavers for the O’s to even entertain this IMO. Even then they probably wouldn’t. I don’t think they intend to trade Holliday. 

Detroit doesn't pick up the phone for Holliday, Stowers and Povich. HK is who they would require if they want an OF. Or they would want additional pieces beyond Holliday, Stowers and Povich, likely a Beavers.

What do the Giants want for him?

Looks like they need offense. I was reading that Chapman was rumored to the Yankees. Conforto could be on the move as well. 

I doubt they do a full rebuild. Just move some expiring deals and look to compete again next year like they always seem to do. 

I would think they would value Stowers and Norby for those reasons.

Just thought I’d mention that Skubal is going to rank somewhere in the 1-30 range on Fangraphs’ top 50 trade value players list (a spoiler in the introductory second mentioned he was ranked).  Holliday was at 37 on the list, Kjerstad was an honorable mention.  So, the idea that the Tigers could get both for Skubal isn’t that far-fetched.

Cheating a little to count Cowser still as a prospect, he and Kjerstad are for me a 4/5 tier.

Cowser and Kjerstad for Skubal is one I couldn't say would be my instant feeling.

I wouldn't invest any of the Big 3 for Skubal or Crochet alone.

I am sure Elias' angle is to leverage his depth, and Getz/Harris' position might be, "I don't want your knickknacks but give me two good things like the Burnes structure."

Then the O’s should hang up the phone. Simple.

Trading for Tarik and having him under control thru 2027 would lessen the blow of losing Burnes after this year. I highly doubt we will resign Burnes for his supposed asking price. We trade Tarik and it allows us to keep the payroll manageable even with resigning Anthony.

I don't see Elias trading Holliday, Mayo, or Basallo.  Along with the rest of the core (Gunnar, Adler, Kjerstad, Westburg, Cowser, etc) they form Orioles success the next 7 years or so.

 

The trade pieces are pretty much anyone else in the minors and several guys on the big league roster.  Also, don't rule out Burnes coming back.  Rubinstein will spend.

If they “won’t pick up the phone” for a package headlined by the #1 prospect in the minors, then they aren’t trading Skubal, period.

      Is there a 5th O's #1 Prospect?

      By OriolesUpAndDowns · Posted

      Good point on the age.  I think it would have to be someone like Nate George from this year's draft just blowing up next year. The story would be how everyone missed on him because he played in a cold weather state.

      First, Schmidt is having a better year than Cole. Second, the O's teed off Ragans and Lugo last time they faced them.

      Elias needs to use better judgement when he dumpster dives, prepare better for the high percentage chance that his dumpster diving pickups will fail, and increase usage of other means to get pieces. Bullpen usage is another problem, but it’s hard to effectively juggle flaming torches. A wrong move burns badly

      DH - O'Hearn v. Kjerstad

      By e16bball · Posted

      I can see the case for Mountcastle based on defense alone, but what has Kjerstad done to warrant that kind of treatment? Is it the .505 OPS he’s put up since coming back? The overall .438 ML OPS since getting hit in the head? I’m as bummed as anyone that his season got derailed, but if you’re talking about where they are right now — he’s not your huckleberry. As for O’Hearn, he’s 8 for his last 23 (.348), with 3 doubles. That feels a little like the “getting himself together” that you referenced. He had an awful month-long slump, but he also has an extended track record (over 1.5 seasons) of excelling in the role he’s now back in, as the platoon LH 1B/DH guy. He had a 125 wRC+ in those 750 PAs as an Oriole until 8/20, which is roughly when Mountcastle went out.  I’d be good with Kjerstad DHing against LH starters, because there’s good reason to think he hits them better than O’Hearn. And if they want to play both O’Hearn and Kjerstad against some RHPs, in order to set up the potential of Mountcastle coming in to PH against a lefty reliever, I’m down for that too. But the primary alignment is going to (and should) be the Mountcastle/O’Hearn duo we’ve gotten accustomed to seeing.

      By Moose Milligan · Posted

      The Achilles heel for this team is going to be the unit that doesn't step up in the postseason. I can easily see scenarios where: the bullpen is hot and provides good performances but the offense sputters and isn't clutch the offense comes up big but the bullpen blows games late starting pitching tosses some clunkers (not really likely with Burnes and Eflin) and they can't recover the defense sucks and gives opponents extra outs to work with, blowing games open when the bullpen or SP would have been able to escape and continue We've seen all of these units falter at one point or another during this season.  We've also seen all of these units perform very well at different times throughout the season.  So, we'll see what turns out to be the Achilles heel for the Orioles in the playoffs starting next week.

      I agree I missed the mark on a correct forum, and ask a moderator to please relocate to Rants as that game annoyed me yesterday. I appreciate the strong moderators here and know I'm not one of them.     Sorry for making it worse at a tough moment.    I won't bump it again, even ironically if we kick their butts in the playoffs.
