It is a foolish hope to expect a full season out of Rodriguez. Kremer is fine, and I’m glad to have him.

Suarez was better in most meaningful stats, but we don’t know what Suarez is going to do. He could possibly be just a flash in the pan.

Povich is trade or depth. We need depth. Our 2025 -ready pitchers all have potential problems.

but now we also need outfielders and infielders

Over the last three seasons, Kremer has thrown 427.2 innings at a 3.85 ERA...every single team in baseball would be handing him a spot in the rotation.

He's in the "complete for the 5th starter" spot.

Hopefully, he doesn’t.

Povich was up and down at this level this year. 
 

His peripheral stats aren’t great…His xERA was 4.02. He has some upside but I’m unsure how much. He ended the year strong. In 27.2 IP in September, Povich had a 2.60 ERA, 10.4 K rate, 2.6 BB rate and only 16 hits allowed.

Right now, we have 3 guaranteed starters in GRod, Kremer and Eflin. Rogers and Povich are also possible but I can’t imagine those 5 are our starters next year. 

Elias likes both of the lefties, as he made it a point to trade for them.

So, where does that leave Povich?  Is he trade bait? Is he depth? Is he a starter for us next year?

If you are going to make a major trade this offseason, I would figure Povich and/or Kjerstad will be involved in the deal.

What would you do with him?

Man, don’t sleep on Povich. 16 starts at a 5.20 ERA in his true rookie year in the AL East. He also has been pretty healthy I believe. 

I think he gives us 30 GS and drops his ERA to the 4.50-4.70 range. 

He’s developing. He’s LH and a SP. He’s our current #4 SP.

Have him fight for #5 spot. If not he is quality depth. Need to add a SP obviously. I actually feel ok about our SP depth especially in 2nd half. Brandish and even Wells are legit possibilities. 
 

Hyde seems high on Povich. Spoke well of him in his presser. And yes I know he isn’t going to slam him.

I’m okay with having one of Kremer, Povich, or Rogers in the rotation. IMO two is too many.

Furthermore, Eflin is not a slot in for Burnes. If we do not resign Burnes we have to slot someone else in at the top and everyone else down. Eflin (2) Grayson (3) etc…

You should mostly never discard any data, but if you were to discard a little it might be to let go of the part when MLB talent crushes kids.

I think he has an edge on Suarez for the SP5 role if the off-season pushes Kremer down to SP4.   Irvin and Means are gone - some LHP preferred in our park, and Rogers is unusable without a big spring.

Povich increased his innings from ~125 to ~155, controlled the Tigers twice, beat Burnes by 2 points of September K-BB.    I doubt he is Bradish 2.0 but their backgrounds have a good deal in common.

Don't Po Po Povich. Let him compete. We need all the depth we can get and yes we need to sign pitching.

If his September is part of Learning Curve starting to click, then he will be more than depth next year. One of the few guys on the team that put it in another gear the last month. Starting to to take a real likeling to him.

GRod has never made it past 120 innings, he can't be counted as a top 3 starter, his lat does/will give out every year

Eventually he will be moved to the bullpen to keep him healthy

How do you Know that? And how does the BP keep him healthy? The only other pitcher i'm aware of for the O's that had a lat problem, was Richard Bleier, 2018 grade 3 strain required surgery> missed almost one year, went the next 4plus years injury free.

That's pretty good for his rookie season, no? I'm a bit confused by the characterization of his peripheral stats not being great.

I like him a lot more than Rogers. Would like an open competition for the 5th spot between Suarez, Povich, McDermott, Rogers and a FA starter.

Yep, basically agree with this. With the favorite undoubtedly being Povich, and Rogers / Suárez (bullpen) / McDermott next up when the inevitable injury hits.

Assuming we get an established starter to go along with Eflin, GRod, and Kremer, that leaves Suarez, Rogers, and Povich competing for the 5th spot.   Suarez has earned the edge.  If Suarez is the 5th starter, then one of Roger’s/Povich becomes a swing man in the pen with the other providing depth in Norfolk.  Povich has options and I believe Rogers does as well.

Grasyon pitched 122 inn with Bal and 41 inn with NOR in 2023.

      12 Questions for the Offseason

      By interloper · Posted

      I've been thinking about #2 a lot and wondering why this didn't come up at Elias' press conference.  I think the answer if you have to target a RH bat who isn't solely power-focused or chasing HR numbers, but who is otherwise a caliber of lefty-masher better than Mounty. Or, you force that hitter here via trade.

      Last offseason with John (I am so poor) Angelos still in charge, along with the depth in the upper minor leagues it made sense to make a trade for someone like Burnes.  I don't think Elias should be looking at making a trade this offseason using any of our young talent.  It is time for Rubenstein to open the checkbook and land us a TOR starter and a big bat.  The days of having too many prospects is over, I want to see us have some solid depth options in AAA if we need it.

      12 Questions for the Offseason

      By Warehouse · Posted

      On #1: the question is whether all of Mayo, Kjerstad, Cowser, and Holliday have everyday roles or if are some platooned or held back in Norfolk or traded? If they all play everyday, there’s not really a meaty role to offer to a new bat. In the various post-mortems, this seems to be one of the biggest points of differences among posters.  Some want no logjams while others want one or more proven MOO professional hitters and don’t want to rely on Holliday or Mayo. My view is in the middle of the spectrum. I think at least one of Cowser or Mullins needs to sit vs. LHP, so we need a lefty masher capable of playing left field at Camden.  I think we may consider trading Mounty to make room for Mayo.

      12 Questions for the Offseason

      I find #8 to be an interesting one. On the one hand, McCann seems well-liked, he brings some toughness and veteran presence, and he actually had his best offensive season since 2020. At 35, you can probably have him for a 1 year deal if you want. And Basallo isn't really that close to coming up and catching just yet. He's a deep 2nd half kind of callup if you need him. And it's not like the free agent backup catcher market is much better than McCann. On the other hand, I have a sour taste in my mouth from game 1 where he couldn't make contact with men on base. Adley certainly didn't get any better under his wise tutelage. And maybe there are guys out there who surpass McCann defensively and bring a different wrinkle to the clubhouse. So I wouldn't be mad about a change.

      This is my thought process regarding the pitching staff next season, ideally we resign Burnes but if not another TOR like Snell or Fried need to be signed this offseason.  Eflin GRod and Kremer are a really solid 2,3,4 the 5 spot is open to competition but realistically there will probably be some injuries or fatigue that require all of these guys contributing.
