Huang (Sporting News) is worthless. He does not have Scheppers in the first round. He has responded to comments from others and has said he is doing a wait and see approach on him. Not sure what more he has to wait and see.

All :

Scheppers or Matzek?

Who knows?

There is not a really definite order this year. Last year after money equaled out . . . it came down to Matusz or Smoak. This year it is . . . Matzek, Scheppers, Crow, Ackley, Green, Purke, etc. Eh.

I just mean which do you prefer?

Without the medical reports, I lean to Matzek. If the meds look fine, I like Scheppers. Shorter path and smaller bonus. You can then use that money on overslotting guys later in the draft.

I also go with Scheppers, but it is such a toss up for me between Schep, Crow, Matzek, Turner and even Purke that I really would have a hard time making the final decision. I personally am glad im not JJ, such a tough choice.

Matzek. Too many worries about the injury. I mean even if it came back clean, you have to think, ok well how did he GET that injury, and has he changed anything since then? It wasn't like it was a clean, this happened one day and he got hurt, there was question about the injury and then he opted out of surgery. I just feel like it's like taking a floor model TV home and wondering what they put back together with bubble gum and when it's going to break again.

I remember hearing that the injury was a stress fracture, does anyone know if this is the truth?

It was never released. That was the claim at first, but the second opinion had a different prognosis. Medical records weren't publicly released.

      Really nice to see the pitchers progressing with a solid crew from 5-8.

      The July schedule

      I think you are underselling the month. Would you be unhappy if they went 3-3 to start this?  I’m honestly not expecting more than that.

      If they play well we have a great shot to put a little distance between us and the Yankees.  That would be a great story line going into the ASB.

      Heston Kjerstad 2024

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      The discussion in the offseason was, if you trade one, who do you trade. I kept going back and forth on the answer but my ultimate thought process was that Cowser is the better all around player but Kjerstad’s best tool, his power, is better than any single tool Cowser has. I still basically stand by that thought.    This is a long winded way of saying Kjerstad’s power is just better than Cowser’s, so he definitely can get away with things that Cowser can’t. You have pointed out a lot of warning track outs for Cowser. I would suspect many of those would be homers off of Kjerstad’s bat.

      What makes Basallo so untouchable?

      By emmett16 · Posted

      The panic is crazy.  Of course we need to upgrade for a WS run, that’s the prudent thing to do.  But the panic is just that, emotional thinking causing lapse in judgement. We are 4th in all MLB in ER given up, 3rd in era, & 3rd in FIP.  The pitching is doing quite well.    I keep hearing that Elias has done nothing about the pitching.  But here we are as one of the elite pitching teams in baseball right now and below is what Fangraphs had to say about the system.  Why are people still saying our organization has ignored pitching? Why are people suggesting trading potential generational talent for mediocre pitching upgrades?  There are so many interesting pitchers in this system that it was tough to include them all. There’s an org we’re aware of whose scouts need to write a full report on a player if he touches 95 in front of them. If you’re a scout from that team covering Baltimore, you’ve had to write up more than 80 pitchers based on their peak velo alone. The retaining wall of arms is strong in the upper levels, giving the Orioles the pitching depth to contend amid injuries.

      I never like getting ahead of myself, or assume we will dominate bad teams.  I know we had one poster who was saying we really should sweep Houston.  Uh, yeah.    But honestly, we’re a .630 winning percentage team, and this is a soft part of our schedule.  15-10 would disappoint me greatly.  16-9 would be okay but a missed opportunity.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Roll Tide · Posted

      So you give up 2 top 100 prospects for 2 seasons and a limited second half? I’m glad you’re not in control. I know we’re currently a bit spoiled with the tanking and better front office. But I don’t see why you’d want to give up 3-4 players that include 2 of those guys.
