I have a feeling that Irvin will do better in another organization than he did with us. It seemed like the O’s were trying to make him into something he wasn’t, chasing higher velo, etc. Also, I don’t think Brandon Hyde really believed in him. We’ll see next year.
I think there are a lot of pitchers who made progress this year and may help the major league team some day, but there don’t appear to be a lot of high ceiling guys who could be TOR or even MOR pitchers.
Saying that, sometimes pitchers surprise you. Nobody gave John Means a second thought until he showed up in the majors and was effective.
No, Arizona was 84-78 for the entire season which is 6 games above 500 and played in the World Series. Texas was 15-13 in September and won the World Series. They didn’t play much better. I have never nor I don’t think many people here think everything is fine and dandy. In two weeks this same group of players with some added additions from injuries could play better. They could play closer to the team which played in April and May.
