I get some of the negative reaction to this price, but the fact is that a young SP with 2.5 years of control is an expensive trade commodity. Even if they are not a TOR. 

Except he appears to be no better than Povich or Irvin.

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

OH posters never fail.  Do nothing - why are we keeping all these blocked prospects?  Do something - why did we trade these prospects for THAT???

 

Yes, because those are the only two options

If the Orioles had landed nobody we would have criticized Mike Elias for not doing enough to bolster the club. If he traded a top 3 prospect we would have questioned why he didn't include a different top prospect given our needs or we would have given up too many supplemental prospects. If the value of starters wasn't already high the Blue Jays haul increased the value of starting pitching. Relievers might be even higher to be honest. Be prepared for someone like Tanner Scott to cost Kjerstad and a prospect at the back-end of our top 10. This is what happens when MLB added that second wild card and more teams feel like they have a chance. I don't love the trade, I wish it were a better name, but you have to think that we are 100% out on the remaining top starting pitchers mentioned on the trade block.

The Yankees got Leiter Jr for peanuts. If Scott is going to cost Kjerstad, I guess we're rolling with Seranthony.

I think the difference between Vavra and Norby may have pushed Elias to do this deal. People forget Gerrit Cole had 107 and 100 ERA plus before the Astros acquired him and dialed him in. Verlander was trending towards career is over before the Astros traded for him. They have a plan for Roger’s and it’s a roll of the dice. With the current draft strategy this is the deals that will be made. We now have 5 viable MLB starting pitchers and still have 3 hours until the deadline is done.

The negative reaction wouldn't have been as bad if Norby hadn't popped a couple homers and made a few plays in the field that made everyone go "What bad reports about his defense?!?!"

We'll see what Rogers can do for us.  I'm hoping Elias and Sig see something in his profile that make them think there's improvements that they can make.  I'm not upset about a lefty in Camden Yards, either.

I'm also excited because Kevin Brown will remind everyone that this guy was a 1st round draft pick in 2017.

Norby also struck out ~30% of the time in AAA. Stowers will get a chance to prove he can do something at the MLB level, I wasn't super high on either of them.

Please look for the forest through the trees.  You all are looking at a small sampling of starts this year where he wasn’t good and extrapolating that out over his career.

And again, as I have talked about, there is something weird going on in Miami because all of their statcast numbers are ugly for the starters, even though they weren’t in the past

That’s fair and I like Rogers a LOT as a buy low candidate along with Detmers.

the issue is the cost. Norby was a borderline top 100 prospect in the off season and Tony just said if he was eligible Stowers could be the 3rd best prospect in the system.

Well, he's definitely better than Povich and Irvin. But he was probably on the 3rd or 4th  tier of available starters on the market, and that's what is disappointing. 

The question becomes: is he better than Suarez? That I'm more iffy on. He's pitched better than him *recently*.

      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.

      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.
