Re: OS Arbitration Panel Project 2012

That's harsh. He had a bad start in Texas. Which is justifiable, because he's playing in front of people he knows, in his home, against the best lineup in the league, arguably. Aside from that, he's been lights out. Remember when he matched Darvish, pitch for pitch?

A 4.6 ERA with a 1/1 K/BB ratio and a 1.6 WHIP is lights out. He's giving up 6 BB's per 9. His command is terrible and it's not like he's been getting any better. No offense but when you have -0.4 WAR that's terrible.

ACMilan1999, I'll do the Matusz and Tillman for Arencibia and Drabek.

Light's out was an exaggeration. He's had a few bad starts, but he's been good. Inconsistency is common in a young kid. He's got tremendous upside.

I also request a back-up catcher, as well. Who's your back up? Is he better than Jeff Mathis?

Re: OS Arbitration Panel Project 2012

That's our offer this would really help our team in the future

Pleasure negotiating. That's the quickest deal I've made!

Could you give me a quick scouting report on Hedges? Especially an ETA, as I'm gonna need a stop gap if I trade Arencibia.

MSUboy11, the Matsuz/Tillman deal isn't done yet. I'm still considering a few things.

Sorry but he hasn't been good, I've watched prolly 3/4 of his starts and he has no command and his fastball just doesn't have a ton of movement which causes it to get hard. I just gave you the numbers to prove he's been quite awful. Just cause you got good stuff doesn't make you a good pitcher

I've watched all of his starts and he's seemed fairly average, if not in-development. Awful is a bit harsh. He's a LOT better than last year. And he's definitely shown flashes of a #2 guy.

It's Ronny Paulono. He has great contact vs. lefties!

This is straight from a ESPN MLB scout -


Austin Hedges, C: He was a very late, difficult cut from the top 100, and is already one of the best defensive catchers in the minor leagues, with receiving and throwing skills (arm strength, release, and accuracy) that would play in the majors right now even though he's just out of high school. Last fall, he shortened his stride and showed more power and ability to square up the ball than he did as an amateur, and is a strong candidate to jump to the middle of next year's list.

You said that he's a high B right? So just need 1 message for an A?

If his command finally comes around sure he could be a great #2 it's just the command has to come

Hmmm.. I have an interesting proposal. In your franchise, you tget Arencibia and Drabek for Matsuz and Tillman. Then, if you're 30-teaming it, call up D'Arnaud for the Jays. This will shore up their rotation, while clearing room for their #1 prospect.

On my franchise, since the O's won't have traded Schoop yet, I do Arencibia and Drabek for Schoop, Matsuz, and Paulino. Works for both of us. If you agree to the second trade too, obviously.

Does anyone really care where I sent this from?

Wow, sounds good! What's his ETA?

Agreed. He's controlled his anger this year.

Ya man! I totally agree to it! I'll trade Paulino, Matusz, and Tillman for Arencibia and Drabek. Sounds good man! Way to negotiate!

Yes, he's a high B.
