I think Pache was just a security for injury. Does he have options? He is a true bench OF. I wish he had shown better use of his speed on the basepaths. I think he basically just stays until he isn't needed anymore. Probably through spring training and DFA'd at some point next year. He's just the new Ryan McKenna.

Is anyone really thinking that Pache's 2023 wasn't just a fluke, and he could be the RH side of a CF platoon?  His average career OPS is 100 points lower than the average career OPS of freaking C

I think Pache is just slightly more valuable than Tony Kemp.

For all the banging on Ceddy, he has a .289/.326/.556 over his last 30 games.  And that catch robbing Manny today…

Well, Kemp is more valuable if you require a significant number of at bats.  Pache’s role, if he stays on the roster the rest of the year, should be as a defensive replacement for Kjerstadt, O’Hearn, Norby, or whoever else Hyde runs out there as a starter.

I think Pache's ability to stay on the roster depends on his ability to hit left-handed pitching.  He did that in 2023.   He has not been as good at it so far in 2024.

Vs. LHP, 2024/Career

Pache .662/.698

Mullins .381/.629

Cowser .672/.656

He’s not that great vs. LHP, but he’s significantly better than Mullins.

He does seem redundant on this roster now, and he should have a little trade value, although not much. Would see what we would need to add to Mullins and Mounty to Seattle to get Luis Castillo. 

Would Mullins/Mounty/Beavers get us Castillo?

Probably not.  Maybe if the O's substitute Norby for Beavers.  Mariners are trying to get better offense this year.

At the time of the catch, Mullins might have saved the game. It wasnt a HR, but if Mullins doesnt make the play, its likely a triple.

That catch today has me sold on Mullins. You cannot, I repeat, you cannot win without strong defense up the middle: SS-2B-CF. You just don't replace a glove like that. If he can hit at least around the Mondoza line, the job is his.

On the other hand, his value is probably peaking after this catch goes on all highlight reels. Tough decision.

Unfortunately, I don't think Kjerstad is ready to handle LF at Camden Yards.  We need Cowser in LF, at least for home games, which means we need to keep Cedric to play CF.  He's been playing better as of late, so there's no urgency to trade him.

You specifically called out Cedric and said he "never had that in Philly".  That's a clear shot at Rojas who is a fine defender.

I don't get the tendency to dismiss players on other teams.  Other teams can have guys that are good.

      No, as it appears to be a group think decision, where all have some input.  In the end it really doesn't matter if it's all Elias, Sigbot or Hyde or some combination of the 3, Hyde is the one who defends it to the media/fans, and he's the one who gets paid to take the critism/blame.  Either way, starting Slater is the move that WHOEVER make the decisions appears to love, so that's what I expect to see, even if it doesn't make sense based on this years performances.

      Baker optioned, Davidson called up

      By eddie83 · Posted

      I’m guessing he may be bulk reliever later in game. Have to see.

      You think Hyde alone makes the decision?

      Can Cowser still win Rookie of The Year over Gil/Wells ?

      By ace20251 · Posted

      Gil has been terrible in his last 2 starts, he has  given up 10 earned runs in 11 innings

      It's a meaningless game so hard to read anything into it. It could also be more of an "opener" gambit so that Davidson can be brought in with favorable matchups. For a team that believes so strongly in matchups, I don't know why we don't use the opener more often, especially when it has been effective against us.

      Both are deserving. That’s not the point. How they construct the pen in ‘25 may be different. None of the guys you mentioned have been pen guys, although McDermott probably should be. Young and Rogers are more of a starter repertoire. Armbruster and others, like Tony said in another thread, should be pen arms. You need flexible and effective arms to move up and down, while they gain experience. We need some guys with some swing and miss stuff. Adding Bautista back into the back end moves everyone down a notch, but some of the guys we have now will likely have to move on for the purposes of flexibility. There is always some natural turnover, and for good reason.

      And?  If they were buying his career stats, then they were fooled by a bait and switch.  Yeah, career numbers are good, but they don't reflect the reality of this year.  .541 OPS against LHP.  Elias/Hyde has a tendency to bring in guys who might have had good career numbers, but who are not playing at that level in the current year, but then letting them play like they are performing at career levels.  Slaters numbers this year don't reflect that he should be getting starts versus LHP over Cowser, even with the struggles Cowser has had.  That said, I fully expect to see Slater starting as that's the move Hyde will love, and will then speak eloquently at how great Slater is hitting against LHP this year, even though that's clearly a lie.
