Power didn't show up like I hoped

You mentioned that the Orioles acquired a lot of guys that can't help very soon, but those same guys can also be used to trade for guys that can help.  Maybe that is part of the Orioles thinking?
Eric A Longenhagen

They've shown basically no inclination to do that, though.

Thoughts on Misiorowski? Is he showing he can start long term?
Eric A Longenhagen
1:40
He's a freak

What did Khal do to jump to the 50 tier?
Eric A Longenhagen
1:40
Multiple years of 90+ innings with plus command of three pitches playing average or above. He's at Double-A, he's close. Proximity is important to me, especially with pitchers.

Looks like the Twins are assigning Kendry Rojas to AAA. Seems very aggressive to me for a guy with less than 20 IP in AA. Thoughts?
Eric A Longenhagen
1:40
He's a postseason 40-man add, challenge him.

Hi Eric! If you had to pick a MIA youngster for overall production ROS in a 5 x 5 redraft, would you pick Heriberto or Marsee? Thanks a lot!
Eric A Longenhagen
1:41
Take Marsee, he's going to play, and I got some minor league defensive metrics (okay, Kiley got this batch but I'm pouring over them) that are gaga for him in CF and I'm going to have to re-evaluate.
1:42
Heriberto is my dude, I love him, but realistically he's going to play only some of the time. Marsee's D might get him in there every day if this is correct.

The Tigers are apparently moving Melton to the pen after they got Morton (although as of now he's still listed as the starter for Sunday night). Think he goes there long term so he can really hurl his fastballs, or do they stretch him back out next spring?
Eric A Longenhagen
1:42
I imagine he'll get stretched out again. Too much value in optionable starters to 'pen them right away

Thanks for the chats! Longer term concerns w/Aroon Escobar, or just normal prospect volatility?
Eric A Longenhagen
1:43
I like him, don't know if there's enough power for him to be an impact guy, have more of a stable 45 on him right now. Good player, guy you win with, not a star.
Rip Calken

What would you argue as the optimal use case for Basallo when he gets called up (assuming Adley is around)? Back-up catcher who spends the rest of his time at 1B/DH? 1B/DH available to be a third catcher as needed? Closer to 50/50 split at C?
Eric A Longenhagen
1:44
Limit him to one or two SPs consistently on debut, let him DH against arms he'll succeed against and expose him to matchup lefties in-game as a way of soft-launching him versus LHPs
1:45
Okay, I've run the light here big time and need to go. There are still 300 of you here and that makes me want to keep going but I've gotta get this prospect omnibus piece out the door. Everyone come back for next week's chat, there are so many great questions this week and people seem to have been invigorated by the deadline (same).
1:46
bye for now, i'll be in Long Beach for Area Codes next week but will still try to find time to chat from the field.
