Teams are starved for offense. Mounty will have a market as long as the wrist is ok.

Is it me or does something seem "off" about this or am I overthinking it.

You know what's crazy about this forum? I simply gave an opinion. I thought that's what a forum was for. I said nothing outrageous. @JagwarI appreciate you seeing that. Thanks.

Grayson is going to be in the pen for the playoffs. I have been saying that and I think that’s obvious. Good news on Mounty.

Mountcastle has plenty of value. Still decently young, great defender, and he does have pop. I do think Waltimore has gotten into his head, so not sure if it’s altered his swing and approach and that’s carried over to other stadiums, but there’s no secret here. Just look the before/after Waltimore power numbers for him.

Mountcastle would make a great fit in St. Louis or the Astros with their ballparks.

Hyde's mentioned Mounty isn't healing as fast as they hoped he would. I think that's what is coming through there.

No I agree. I think he’s done for the year.

Was thinking the same thing about the Astros. That was also probably the Astros thinking re: Mancini and his issues w/ Waltimore. Although slightly different since Mancini was a pretty lackluster OFer, so really his position is DH. Mountcastle is a solid defensive 1B. And he'd be 28 going into next season with 2 more relatively affordable years left. I'd be curious if the O's go the route of trading Mounty and open up 1B for Mayo. But there's no guarantee that Mayo will play well at 1B. And it's not like the Elias admin has ever really valued defense at 1B, otherwise they wouldn't have tried Ramon, Santander, and even O'Hearn over there. So maybe they gamble it.

Webb with 1 IP, 2H 0ER in his rehab appearance last night. He’s pitched on 9/1, 9/4, and 9/10. 

I think we give him one more outing down there. Maybe 2. Probably try and bring him back into a game on 9/13ish next time. 

I think he’s done with rehab.  We’ll see.

I doubt Kjerstad is coming back that soon, if at all.  

If he doesn’t have setbacks, I see no reason why he won’t be back here.

That said, I don’t think it’s this week either.  I think they will play him in the field in the minors before bringing him up.

Bowies season ends on Sunday. Norfolk ends the following Sunday.  His first game back could, ironically, be against the Yankees.

      Elias…DFA Kimbrel now!!

      By ShoelesJoe · Posted

      Career earnings to this point is $126 million, so don't feel too bad for him.

      I would not look at these numbers in a vacuum. There many intangibles that come into play regarding the injuries that may have contributed to the drop in performance from players. Not to mention players like Adley that appear to be playing through nagging injuries.

      Unfortunately, it was time. Too late in the season to see if he fix himself and no way was he going to be counted on in any big situations the rest of the year or the playoffs.  I think he was a good guy who was at the end of the his career.

      If they would make a change which I don't think they will the guy who was getting a lot of love around the league at one time was Carlos Beltran. Of course that was before he was part of the Astros scandal.

      Holliday and Mayo being completely useless has really been the dagger for me.  We saw scores of posts on here that they should be called up because they can at least out produce player X - well, that has turned out be way off base, because these two can't out produce anybody. I had been thinking that at least one if not both them would be useful if not vital cogs in the bottom of the line up at this point.  Instead, Livan Soto and Emmanuel Rivera are running laps around them from a production standpoint, FFS.  Urias and Mateo right around 1 bWAR each (if I'm reading the table  at BBref correctly).  We miss those guys way more than most people who wanted to DFA them early in the season would have thought.  I don't think there's any question they are around next year - Elias will be paranoid AF about position player depth now, and rightfully so.

      Personally I'm on he fence. Injuries have to be under consideration but man have they fallen apart. I'm fine giving him another year or letting him go either way.

      The offense didn't collapse because of losing Mateo and Urias. The culprits in no particular order: - Norby being traded when he was sorely needed for depth. Elias was reckless to give him away when an injury to any of Westburg, Gunnar, Holliday, Santander, Cowser, Mullins would have opened up regular playing time for Norby, and Norby should have been playing more before he was traded anyway, especially given this team's unbalanced makeup in favor of left-handed hitters. I've been advocating for Norby playing more all season (including over Mateo at 2B), even saying mutliple times and at multiple points in the season that he should have made the Opening Day roster over Tony Kemp. - Adley cratering to be one of the literal 5 worst hitters in MLB for a stretch in the second half, perhaps due to injury. - O'Hearn collapsing in the second half for a 2nd straight season. I criticized Elias for both bringing him back to block other younger players at DH (Norby, Kjerstad, Mayo) and also for not selling high on him and trading him prior to the deadline. - The Eloy acquisition being a waste of time and waste of the DH spot when he starts, as I also stated at the time the trade was made. Eloy has sucked hard for the past month, and he should be released next. - Santander is a streaky and fairly one dimensional hitter. When he's not hitting home runs, he doesn't add much value in terms of reaching base. He cooled off considerably right around the time the offense sunk to a new low over the most recent few weeks. Gunnar can't carry the offense by himself when Adley and O'Hearn have been sinking the lineup in the top 4 spots most of July, August, and September.
