Tapping into The Sarasota H2O w/ the Orioles Flock

[HaloRed]

First of all, Rendon is looking like that Silver Slugger 3B, again!  Staying healthy, he's a pure hitter!
 

I'm a strategist, seizing the moment's opportunity, and have pointed out in the past, the caveat with a team holding DEPTH.  A team holding a key piece to such a team's puzzle in pursuit of a World Championship, holds leverage to get more value in return with tapping into it.  

(Look at what the Brewers had already done with Corbin Burns, follow suit with Reid Detmers by the game's Lefty that he's looking now.  II's the Angels chance to bolster their base).  

Forget about Jackson Holliday (1) and Gunnar Henderson, but focus on others, it's STACKED!  For any team the Orioles could go after for that top notch SP, the following positions by their players pool they can currently leverage with to get it, and vice versa. Overall current MLB prospect ranking in parenthesis before the season began:

3B: Jordan Westburg, Coby Mayo (28)
OF: Cedric Mullins, Colton Cowser (19), Heston Kjerstad (30), Anthony Santander, Kyle Stowers, Connor Norby
2B: Connor Norby
1B: Santander, Ryan Mountcastle, Kjerstad, Mayo
C - Samuel Basallo (17)
P: Cole Irvin LHSP, Dean Kremer RHSP, Cade Povich LHSP, Chayce McDermott RHSP, Seth Johnson RHSP 

With Kyle Braddish returning for them, I'd be looking between Coby Mayo, Connor Norby, Heston Kjerstad, Cade Povich, Chayce McDermott, Seth Johnson, and Cole Irvin with Trumping Detmers as part of a deal.  Mayo, Kjerstad, and Norby, especially, by their present logjam.  Seize that moments opportunity!

The Angels are not trading Detmers.

Please make it more clear that you are suggesting a trade rather than posting something that has happened.

Wherever this subject applies, bump it there. I couldn't find where to put it. I never thought the Brewers would trade away Burns, but they did, and the Angels prospect ranking is the worst in baseball, so you see my point.  The bottom line: the Orioles are the best team in baseball by such leverage, so share the love!

Nope, you clicked on Halothunder.

Yep, we'll hold on to that forlorn hope of keeping him long-term, right up to the moment in December 2027 when he signs a 9-figure deal with the Dodgers.

I bet his mom is bad at Wordle, since she can't even spell Dylan like a normal person.

This thread title is a trip.

Every time I return to give a perspective, I ended having boarded "Douche Canoe."

It's amazing!  

"Sell high," especially by what this link is showing, by the Orioles logjam loaded dilemma.  Timing is everything.

By the way, the thread title came from how they just tore it up this Spring; especially, Colton Cowser. 

Povich, Mayo, Kjerstad, Norby would be  knocking heavy on the door with just about any other organization.  So, play the logjam into the hands before the opportunity passes on by.

I'm only giving insight but by knucklehead' rude awakening, still.

The Angels cannot afford to trade their best starting pitcher, Detmers, for unproven prospects. So the pushback you receive is in balance with the argument you provided. 

[samwum]

Detmers doesn't fit the Orioles. They already have their current ace in Burnes, their future ace in Grayson Rodriguez, and a comfortable #3 with team control in Kyle Bradish. 

It also doesn't make sense for the Angels to trade the only pitcher in the organization with meaningful potential, IMO.

[HaloRed]

Okay, good response, but my point is the Orioles have quite a bit to give to get at this juncture that the Angels need. 

Look back at that pool, and tell me they wouldn't want to jump into it. The Brewers already did for Burns, as that was BEFORE Mayo and Cowser this last Spring and what they showed.  Hjerstadt Povich, and Norby are popping out of the flock in Norfolk, too, on top of Mayo. 

To solidify their chances for a Birdland World Series Championship, they might do that for Detmers (and the Lefty he's showing), as the Angels are in great position to grab some of them, with the fortunate timing over an even better perspective than the Brewers, I might add. 

I'd be pouncing on it!

It just doesn't make sense for either side. The Angels probably view Detmers as a future #1 or #2, and the Orioles would view him as their future #3 or #4. You're not going to get fair value from them.

Detmers would also be hitting arbitration around roughly the same time Rodriguez and Bradish are, which would be another problem for the Orioles. Burnes, Rodriguez, Bradish, and Detmers are all good pitchers who will command significant contracts. They probably would prefer Povich sliding into the #4 spot since his contract timetable will be behind the others. 

[HaloRed]

With your #1 Pitcher under control, Lefty at that, and you're willing to give that up for 2 or more players under control, you wouldn't?

I would if it's for any of those players I just mentioned from the post before, a position player and a pitcher if possible, particularly.  

I have the MLB app, and watched Cole Irvin pitch Sunday vs KC. Which was a rebound outing for him, but the announcers also mentioned how Povich lurked with supplanting his spot in the rotation before that. Why not, his ERA is .093 w/ Norfolk.

Noticing that, taking Irvin would be the lesser between the 2 in compensation for Detmers, but more at position player. Or, vice versa with taking Povich. I'm only speaking from scenario, but that's timing and strategy involved here.
