Who is the clubhouse leader on this team?  Is it Adley?  It’s not clear that they have a leader. 

They mentioned Santander on the radio …. Not sure that they are in the know but it would seem to make sense. They are squarely in the give Santander a 3-4 year extension for $15-$20 per

When HK git the GS a while back, when he got to the dugout nearly everyone greeted him.  When HK walked by Hays to the hydration station, Hays' face was like someone farted.

I don't doubt what he says because human nature.  But Hays isn't exactly an unbiased parted.

The deep, blocked, competitive org is said to he a goal.  If that's true, human drama will be an issue when "red in tooth and claw" is the order of the day.

Maybe not related but did anyone hear Keith Law with Haynie yesterday, right after the news broke that Hays had been traded? Law made a comment that I thought centered around the negative thoughts from Hays teammates towards him. (I was surprised and I know, it’s Law). Did anyone else hear that and maybe correct my version in case I heard it wrong?

What did he say?

The story seems like nothing and that if anything, Hays was the one that may have been as issue and upset with a lack of consistent playing time.

I’m quite certain that there are other who are or were frustrated. Stowers, Norby, Urias, Mateo, Mullins. I’m betting the majority of guys feeling jerked around or reduced playing time. What is Urias hitting over the last 4-6 weeks. He might not express his frustration but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t have it. Thinking it’s just Hays is Naive

Sure they would. They can say they would love to talk extension or how they want to finish their career here. You never hear any of the young guys say anything like that. 

Austin Hays talked in Spring Training about an extension.

It seems more like a Hays and Mullins thing. They were the ones that were former all star players that were threatened by young players. Mountcastle plays every day. Urias and Mateo were switching off every other day. McCann has been a back up catcher for years.

I think it is.

On both sides, in regards to the team and to your agent that you pay to handle that sort of thing.

 

It’s only unprofessional if you do it in bad faith. No team is going to be pissed because their young stars are saying they would like to sign extensions.  Makes it seem like a good place to play.

Don't know if its true or not, but Hays return was kind of underwhelming on our side unless their unusually high on the pitcher they got back. This could have been an addition by subtraction type trade.

These vets are feeling the pressure and logically want some security. That is why I am saying you have to sell them off.

The other data point I would add here is Mountcastle attitude adjustment when he had that run-in with Buck about his plate discipline in the minors. Maybe he tried working on the issue and failed, or maybe he just thinks he knows better than the coaches, but regardless he never really changed as a hitter. So I could see his ego having some issues with being outperformed by O'Hearn and rumors of trade availability.

I refuse to believe that Mullins would be the source of anything negative. From everything we've seen he is a humble guy grateful to have overcome a lot of adversity to get to the big leagues.

To think that they all will be okay with things like rotting away in AAA when peers/friends in other orgs have gotten chances, or to think guys would be ok who have established themselves getting reduced roles/replaced/shipped out, or that some players wouldn’t get upset about not getting paid is very naive.

This is not a computer simulation. These are real humans with human thoughts and emotions.

Refusing to believe is fine but that does make it a fact. A professional wouldn’t let you know he’s frustrated.

Sounds like Hays confirmed that he was the problem, lol

This. Hays asked for an extension in the offseason and didn’t get it. Could be some other things going on but I would bet this is what the main “issue” is.

      Thank you. I knew there was something bogus about that post. I saw Cal play SS. And Gunnar is no Cal at SS. Not even close. And this is coming from a big fan of Gunnar. I would like to see him play a traditional power position. Call me old fashioned. He’s hurting the team at SS.

      Interesting.  We live in a data obsessed world now but it's not the answer to everything.  There should be a mix.

      I doubt solid MLB pitchers can be acquired just by trading position players the vast majority of the time.  Look at how we acquired Bradish and Povich -- by trading solid (at the time anyway) MLB level pitchers.  In those trades we were on the other end, but we forced teams to trade good young pitchers for Bundy and Lopez respectively.  Now we did acquire McDermott and Seth Johnson by trading Trey Mancini.  So it does happen that pitching can sometimes be acquired trading only a position player, but Mancini had had a strong major league career to that point.  My point is I don't think you can expect to acquire pitching only by trading position players -- but if you can it may need to be a strong veteran that is not easy to part with. Perhaps we could acquire Tarik Skubal for just Jackson Holliday -- or Holliday plus one or two other strong position prospects.  But that would be a whole other level of a blockbuster trade. Also, I'm not sure how we can say the system is bereft of homegrown minor league pitching talent and then complain that we traded Baumeister and Chace -- two homegrown minor league pitchers that everyone here seems to agree are talented.  We can criticize the trade, but clearly there was and probably still are some desirable arms in the system that we'd rather not trade.  No, none of the ones Elias drafted have made it to the bigs yet, but maybe those two would have been among the first.

      Seth Johnson on the Phillies' "philosophy": Orioles are data driven, Phillies are more "old school". I don't get much out of this but it's a data point. https://www.nbcsportsphiladelphia.com/mlb/philadelphia-phillies/seth-johnson-mlb-debut-phillies-orioles-trade/613582/ “I think the big thing is that Baltimore is very data-based,” he said. “Here’s a nice blend of the numbers and baseball strategy. Kind of old school. And I’ve been really enjoying it so far. For me, it’s kind of simplified everything. Concentrating on basic concepts like moving the fastball around. Not worrying about pitch shapes all the time. Just going out here and trying to pitch.”

      Winter 2024 40-Man Additions

      If we have room, why wouldn't we add Pham and Van Loon just to have available depth in AAA (whether or not they are at risk of being taken)?

      By Jammer7 · Posted

      I think Young will be added, and that is it. I like Pham, but no AAA experience makes him unlikely to be taken. Whatever open spots should be used to upgrade the bullpen and other pitching depth. It is well documented here that we don’t have much beyond raw guys like Strowd and Heid. we lack flexibility and options. This has to change.
