What would you prioritize as great news for the O's as of now?

I think Burnes would be a helluva an asset for us long term.  I just don't think any pitcher....considering the injury risk....is worth the $ they are now getting and that he will be asking for next year. 

If you don't pay for them with money you have to pay for their annual replacements in prospects.

Hasn't that been the reason the Os keep drafting position players and not pitchers?  So they can trade those players that are duplicates for cheap controllable pitching?

 

Hence why I think Crochet and Miller would be great assets to go after.

What cheap controllable pitching have they been trading prospects for?

I loved the Burnes trade but that was two well regarded players for one season.  That's not infinitely repeatable.

MLB changing its policy to allow HGH and certain peptide therapies for players with TJ, thereby accelerating the timeline of our pitchers return next year.

I think the best thing that can happen for us is to have Holliday and Mayo come up and produce at a high level right away. Costs nothing, and would really lengths the lineup… if they hit right away.

Cowser starts hitting like he did in April and the entire board says he’s as untouchable as Henderson.

If I knew my wish would be granted I might have gone for more.
