Orioles acquiring Zach Eflin

[now]

Interesting to see the draft pick pecking order in evidence yet again. Eflin Round 1 in 2012, for Orioles 2023 draft picks #2, #3, #12.

Baumeister hurts a little just due to our lack of pitching depth.  But good, fair trade.

Good, trades should hurt a bit.  That's how you know you are getting something back.

I detect no lies.

I mean, Jack Flaherty has a career ERA+ of 113 and Eflin is at 98. We'll see how it works out, he's an upgrade over Povich and McDermott.

And Kremer and Suarez and Irvin.

These trades were a 3/4 and a 6/7 on a scale of 1-10.   There is another 6/7 coming and a 9/10.  Mark it down.

They mentioned on the radio that the Orioles would be interested in a return of Flaherty.

Irvin, sure, but it's not 2023 and his ERA+ is worse than Suarez who is pitching to his FIP now. If he's the best SP we get then people shouldn't be happy, and we get to pay him 18M dollars next year.

Come on now you can't tell me you expect Suarez to keep up this outlier journeyman season. He's been bad lately and is certainly a reliever in reality. 

Kremer has as ERA approaching 5.

Eflin is better than these guys.

Another move that improves the margarine. Solid #4 type SP. Better than 3/5ths of the guys that we had for sure.

But I hope that Elias has more up his sleeve (including at least one impact player).

I personally love this trade. Get rid of another veteran to make room for Mayo and lets shut it down.

Eflin has a career ERA+ of 98. Everyone remembers how good he was last year and just stops all thought.

I feel there is a trade coming that we are going to get really excited about.  A big time one.

Any insight into the upcoming lottery or powerball numbers?

Don’t talk smack to @Malikeabout Kremer. He might challenge you to a bet for a VPN subscription for a year!
