I think I would. This kid is young and has nasty stuff. Other than Strasburg he is the most impressive pitcher I have seen at such a young age. Now this is what a young potential "ace" looks like. We don't have anyone that good in our organization. Sorry.

Of course. Asking about Tillman for Cahill is laughable.

You mis-read. The deal would be Matusz and one of either Tillman or Arietta. I am not that dumb to espouse a one for one of any Orioles pitcher. We have none nearly as talented as Cahill.

No way no how. I wouldn't trade Matusz for him straight up.

I wouldn't trade Matusz for him but I would rather have him than Tillman and Arrieta.

I would rather have Brett Anderson and Cahill vs Matusz and one of those 2 though.

He's a lot better than Matusz. Have you actually watched him? He may possibly make the All-Star team and is what 21?:eek:

Wow, a 21 year old possible All-Star for a guy who has lost what?:confused: Nine in a row?:eek:

Oakland wouldn't do it either but the might for Matusz and Arietta or Matusz and Tillman. Either one I would do in a minute.

      John Means 2024

      By wildcard · Posted

      I was and still am a Means defender.   Velocity is not John's game.   In 2019 his average 4 seamer was 91.7 mph.   But his changeup was 80.9 mph and his curve was 77 mph according to Statcast.  John went 12-11 with a 3.60 ERA that year.   Its the different in the speeds of the pitches that makes John effective. According to the information I found about a Texas pitcher in 2022 come off TJ surgery the O's can and I think probably will apply to MLB for another month of rehab in 10 day increments.   John's comeback story is far from over IMO.

      We stole two of the three games against KC when they came to Baltimore two weeks ago, and everybody knows it. My guess is they'll have a chip on their shoulder about that. They out-hit us and out-homered us in our own park, and an unlucky bounce here or there and we could have been swept. I know the Brewers blew us out two of three, but IMO the Royals are the best team we've face so far. I'm expecting to lose a couple in KC but wouldn't be surprised if we lost all three.

      Some 9x stats

      By DrungoHazewood · Posted

      Different times. The Champion 1894 Orioles averaged about 165-170 pounds a man, and Big Dan Brouthers weighed in at 207. At least according to bb-ref.

      Sarris @The Athletic: Burnes #1, G-Rod #6

      By Moose Milligan · Posted

      Copying and pasting from my phone which isn’t ideal.      Speed is the name of the game. Just as major-league teams are working on models that can help them make decisions faster, so do public analysts trying to help people beat the line, win that overall prize, or at least beat their college friends in that fantasy league. In the effort to make better decisions faster, we have a few statistics that can aid our efforts: • Fastball velocity stabilizes quickly — three starts should reliably predict the rest of the season. • Relatedly, Stuff+ becomes meaningful after as little as one start, at least when it comes to fastballs and sliders. • Strikeout-minus-walk rate is one of the most powerful small-sample tools.   —————-   Burnes:   Stuff+ told us before the season that Burnes had a great curveball that he could feature more, so it shouldn't be a surprise that he's done exactly that in Baltimore. He's also seen his fastball velocity return to 2022 levels. The result has been vintage Burnes, at a time when it seems like all the aces are falling around him. Long-term park factors are funky in Baltimore — with the new dimensions, Burnes should easily put up a low-threes ERA with plenty of strikeouts.   —————— G-Rod:   Like with this teammate Burnes, you can expect Rodriguez to beat this ERA projection. He now has two fastballs and two secondaries that are elite in terms of physical characteristics, so it's a full arsenal. Even using last year's data to improve the sample size, he's shown above-average command of four pitches, too. The only question mark is the fact that he lacks a slider. The cutter isn't great — overuse of that pitch early last season is what got him in trouble — and he hasn't consistently thrown a hard breaking ball. Otherwise, he's golden Grayson.
