So, Flaherty was a credible target?

the Flaherty acquisition wasn’t too bad, although I didn’t want him. To be honest, I was dealing with other things so I don’t remember at the moment who I did want instead, but I remember that Flaherty was something of a consolation prize and I was hoping he would turn out to be OK.

But the point remains valid, buy the best. Don’t shop at Kmart.

Can we please stop arguing about this trade. it was a bad trade no matter how it turns out. How can you dispute that?

Ok boys and girls.  Let's pull it in.  This one is over.  No matter what.  It's over.  Last one out please turn out the lights.

So it was a bad trade even if it turns out to be a good trade.

You're right, no one could possibly dispute logic that airtight.

Yes, it’s a bad trade no matter what, because we gave up too much. Even if we can fix him and he becomes Cy Young. We gave up way too much for a bad pitcher.  You’re not supposed to give the value of what you think you may be able to turn some picther into to the team that he sucks on. Yeah if he was young and had potential yeah then maybe you pay a little bit more than his current value. This guy has almost no potential, and he’s not young.

He's only 26, if that's not young then I'm on my deathbed.

I’m also pretty sure you haven’t been in the major leagues for four seasons. And this is a trade deadline acquisition to try to help the team now. Not some Pet project that you give up good players for.

Why can’t it be both, spazman?

He’s less than two months older than Stowers.  

Yeah, he may not be old in age but in experience in the MLB he’s pretty old and pretty bad to still have a starting rotation job. How many teams would he have been starting for except for the Marlins? And it’s not just that how much potential does he really have with the stuff he has? In my opinion not much.

    • I know that you may have just chose the wrong term but it wasn't an opt out. That's when the player can terminate a deal "early." It was a buy out. Which the team pays for not exercising the player's (team) option. 
    • While Hyde is not perfect, it's not his fault has has Jimenez, Rivera, Soto, Slater on his roster and two rookie position players hitting like pitchers. He's also lost 4/5th of his expected rotation going into the season, the closer his GM gave him had to be released and his two of his three best relievers (Coloumbe and Webb) have spent significant time on the IL. So no, I don't think he's in any hotseat at all, nor should he be.
    • I don't think we (Elias) goes into next year counting on Holliday or Mayo. Cowser and Special K maybe.  Hence, I think we will be shopping for more than just pitching. That's why I said in other threads, this offseason will be interesting particularly with (hopefully) a bigger budget.   
    • There wasn't much angst about Adley also probably because just over 1 month into his career his OPS broke .700 after he hit his third home run.  And it doesn't hurt that he is a catcher, and I would assume everyone is more patient with a player who plays the most important defensive position on the field.  It's crazy to think that Adley was somehow disappointing in his first season because he struggled his first month in the league.  It took Mike Trout nearly two months to break a .700 OPS in his rookie season.  And for the month of September/October that season he didn't even break a .500 OPS.  A-Rod didn't crack a .500 OPS his first year in the majors (less than 50 PAs), and in his second season he didn't crack .700.  These guys had tremendous talent, but they were promoted at such a young age and with such high expectations that we're all expecting too much too soon. People think top prospects should crush the ball like Juan Soto did as soon as they hit the majors.  Sometimes that happens but it's got to be pretty rare, maybe even rarer today than in years past. My own personal opinion about Holliday and Mayo is that they aren't quite ready.  They're on the Orioles really because of injuries to other players.  Holliday especially has way too much in the way of expectations on his shoulders.  These guys need some more time.    
    • Yes, it's in the contract. If some other team picks him up on waivers, that team would assume the contract.   Of course that won't happen. Otherwise, the Orioles are responsible for paying him the contract they signed him to.
    • I sure hope Cano is just being given a bit of a break since the Orioles rally haven't needed him much with as bad as they've been playing.
    • Yeah I don't think the taxi squad thing eliminates the Cano possibility at all.  Cano needs to pitch tonight or else I'm assuming something's up.
