You really think that would have stopped him if he thought Scott was attainable for a reasonable price and would have helped the ballclub moving forward?

That's... I mean, keep reaching I guess.

I don't know.

I don't think so but it would be humbling to bring back a guy that you traded low on a couple years prior.

We are seriously overrating our prospects. I'm fairly certain when Detroit called them and said we'll give you Skubal for Norby and Stowers, Elias just said nah, we're going with Rogers from Miami. Lo

Not sure I get your point. We've known for a while that Norby and Stowers had to go. Does keeping them in Norfolk in 2025 help the Orioles stay competitive longer? They didnt hold as much value as a lot of peope here think. In fact Stowers had very little value clearly. Where does Norby play on the Orioles in 2025 to help us stay competitive? The entire infield is pretty much accounted for, as are the corner outfield positions if we keep Cowser and Kjerstad around. Doesnt even count if we re-sign santander. We upgraded our rotation and subsequently our bullpen for two guys that will not play here. 

I am not arguing whether or not they would play here. I am arguing that value for value, this was a bad deal. I don't believe for a second that any of us know what Stowers value was. Stowers might have been the key to the deal. I have no idea. But in my mind, 2 starters for their 2024 team for a #4 is GOOD VALUE for them.

Why do you think the O's always draft the best player instead of a need? Value....I don't always agree with it, but it is a fact.

Saying, “oh, pitcher X has a 3.50 ERA if you take out this clunker game” defeats the entire purpose of ERA. 

ERA is Earned Run AVERAGE which means by definition it overweighs outlier bad games.

You can definitely be deceptive with the whole "delete the bad and he looks good" argument, but there are cases where doing that a little bit might paint a more accurate picture of what you can expect going forward.

How does this deal help us in October?

By giving innings to Rogers instead of Povich, Irvin, Baker, etc.

It's not Verlander in his prime, I get it, but it's an upgrade.

I don't think ego plays into trade decisions. "Hmm, I won't make the team better because it might make me look bad".  Yeah, I don't buy that at all.

ERA is far from the best and most instructive stat to measure pitchers by. Kind of like measuring them by wins.

But the other poster's point is valid. Would you rather have a guy that pitches to a 3.00 ERA but had one start in which he got shelled for 10 runs in an inning, so his ERA is 4.00, or would you rather have a guy that just averages giving up 4 runs every game. I'd rather have the first guy personally. Odds are, you're going to get a much better outing out of him, and his advanced stats are probably better than the second guy's.

Small sample sizes ruin averages. I think that's the point.

Or trading for Scott would show he made a mistake trading him away in the first place.

Maybe, but more likely his cost is going to be astronomical. When he traded Scott, he was lackluster for 3 out of the 4 fullish seasons he was with the O's. The walk rate was abysmal, and he really wasn't good with the Marlins until last year. I didn't fault him then. Insert "relievers are volatile" quote here.

I don't think they do.

I think they have their system tuned to focus on college bats.

VERY interesting take. I have no doubt that ego has a place in this game, even in the "front offices". How many times have we all said "He is trading the other GM's guys".

Most GMs have dozens of guys that they have given up on too early and have become successful reclamation projects for other teams.

 

Let's put it this way. Do you not think the Twins would have given up an arm and a leg to get back Yennier Cano from us last year? Of course they would have. Because they're focused on improving the team, period. If you let your ego get in the way of that, you're going to be out of a job really fast.

Agreed. It is a common best practice in statistical analysis to throw out the best and worst numbers in a data set because removing extreme outliers gives a significantly more accurate end data set.

      O’s look done

      Speaking of that, look up Adley's splits. He's literally elite batting right handed. His numbers are fantastic. Maybe it's time for him go full time righty.

      Which is kind of crazy when you think about it.  It is just getting a hit every 3 out of 10 at bats.   In any other sport that is a FAIL.  Pitching is much better these days with the creation of the specialty reliever but still it seems ridiculous that no one can hit .300.

      One thing I have never understood about the Anthony switch hitting is he seems like a 100% better hitter hitting left handed compared to right handed.  To me it is night and day.  Now I don't know the exact numbers but I just see the way he swings.  He swings a lot better as a lefty compared to a right handed hitter.  He has had a really good season but it may be time for him to do a Mullins and swing just as a lefthander.

      Irvin claimed by Twins

      True.  But he came through enough when the Os have really needed a guy this year.  Any guy.  I don't believe it is a huge loss but at the same time I don't think he was a throwaway either.  Which is what I believe the Orioles thought he was and is.

      One of the hitting coaches talked publicly about Santander's process (which involves some degree of guessing, like he sits on a particular pitch until he gets it) and then he went into a bit of a slump. Not sure that was actually related, but it at least makes me wonder. Generally I don't expect strategies to be made public.

      It is my firm belief that the Orioles are suffering from an organizational flaw.  Mainly in their hitting and fielding instruction.  Mainly at the lower levels.  I actually believe that their pitching metrics and instruction are good.  It is just that they never draft enough pitchers to fully realize the fruits of their labor and the good minor league pitchers that they do have?  They don't extend and pitch their young guys enough.  It seems as if they are always being babied.  So other teams snatch them up in trades because they see the potential and they tend do pretty well with them afterwards.  Without having to do really anything other than a few tweeks.  Imo the Orioles hitting and fielding instruction has a big flaw.  There is a major disconnect between what they are teaching in the minor leagues and how that translates to the major leagues.  For example 2 players in Mayo and Holliday appear to be complete novices when it comes to hitting major league pitching.  This despite doing very well in the minors.  I could list others as well but those are the 2 prime examples.  They are not just bad.  They are almost historically bad.  Especially when you add it the fact they are top ranked players in the minors.    And the fielding?  I cannot for the life of me understand how these players come up to the majors so lacking in fundamentals.  In addition I believe that Manager Hyde has no business coaching a major league team trying to win a world series.  He is fine as a placard when there is a team that is supposed to tank.   He can keep things on a fairy level keel.    Like the Orioles from 2017 to 2021.  But his approach as a manager in getting a team to be disciplined and focused on taking that next step to the playoffs and beyond is severely lacking imo.  The Orioles play very poor fundamental baseball in all facets.  Hitting.  Running.  Fielding.  Pitching.    That is simply coaching 101.   I sincerely hope that the Orioles brass understands this and makes the proper moves this coming off season.

      The poster child for the old school approach has struck out 26 times in 632 plate appearances.  He's hitting .322, his OPS+ is 109.
