Three straight weeks now he has not looked sharp. I'm not a fan at #3, given what else is available. Of course, there is time for him to right the ship.

He's a nice pick somewhere from 10-15, but not worth it at #3 for a guy who projects as a # 3 starter at best.

It's a little hard to read those stats, but does he really have a BB rate of ~4.5/9 IP? If so, is that as much of a factor as I think it is?

36 BB 112 K in 74.2 innings. That's nearly a walk every two innings.

He did have a game a couple of weeks ago where he walked nine in two or three innings, so that would throw off the ratio somewhat--if you discount that game.

Even so... That's not good.

OTOH he's averaging three K per two innings, more than 13K/9.

Yes. Though he's apparently been throwing with a tight pec, and his arm action has been stiffer recently (closer to what I saw over the summer) so maybe it isn't as bad as it looks. But command was a question entering the season, so it's not something you'd want to see him struggle with as we near the draft.

Interesting overall risk profile re: injury/control/college experience/upside. Doesn't seem worthy of a #3 pick to me, though he could turn out to be really good really soon for someone if things fall the right way for him.

      Clubhouse issues?

      The problem with that last statement is that this indeed is a business. And guys want to get paid and be fairly compensated. They all recognize that they have a short window to make life changing money.

      Are we done?

      I haven’t looked at his innings closely but I could see McDermott being tried as a reliever late in the season.

      McDermott is probably not there to preserve his image as a starter to potential trade partners, and if he is still here on July 31st, I'd expect to see him in our pen shortly. I do still want another solid RP, also preferably a lefty, and Sam Moll would fit the bill perfectly without breaking the bank.

      I agree, with the caveat that Santander is a different animal than Hays and Mullins.  Santander plays every day and is having a career year going into FA.  It’s really the situation that every player wants. Meanwhile, Hays and Mullins are platooning after being every day players, and are having poor seasons.     I am sure Hays thought he had earned the right to play through his rough start, but it always doesn’t work out that way.    The thing I really want to see is what the O’s off-season looks like with Rubenstein’s ownership compared to JA.

      Grade the Hays for Dominguez/Pache trade

      By OriolesUpAndDowns · Posted

      It’s a fair trade.  We needed another late inning reliever and Pache helps with late inning defense.     Pache is an abysmal hitter though so hopefully he doesn’t get too many starts or late at bats.

      Organizational Turmoil?

      By Warehouse · Posted

      It feels like a stretch to me that players being in Norfolk is hurting the vibes on the Major League team.  If those players come up, they will take jobs or playing time from current players.   Obviously, if there is a perception that we’re playing service time games instead of fielding our best players, then that could hurt morale.  However, I’m skeptical that current players are outraged that Mountcastle/O’Hearn/Westburg are playing over Mayo right now in the same way that some fans may be. Goon references veteran players in contract years - I’m pretty sure that’s only Santander and Burnes who are not feeling any competition from young players and both made the all-star team. With regard to long term extensions, it seems a bit silly to say young players want long term extensions but are being blocked by their agents and this is hurting morale. Boras has never inked an extension for a player with less than two years service time like Gunnar or Westy. Adley and his GF are from the Pacific Northwest- maybe they want to eventually be closer to home.  GRod, Cowser, and Kjerstad may be viewed as more risky candidates for an extension by Elias.  It’s not clear to me that Goon’s column represents any actual reporting as opposed to pure speculation.
