I think an interesting thing to do as well is to see how these pitchers performed historically to their FIP and xFIP. If you look at Ottavino and Brebbia, they seem to usually sit near to their FIP except for the last 2 years. If they normalize, we could get a nice gain here. I like it. Maybe Brebbia a throw-in in a deal to get Fedde?

[@CamKrazy2000]

Sewald is a younger version of Kimbrel and I don't see the Snakes trading him. Also I don't know why Tanner Scott isn't on the list since there's no doubt he will be traded by the Fish.

[@daviddevaney2317]

No on Sewald. Yes on Scott.

[@LockedOnOrioles]

He has a 16% walk rate and a 4.05 xFIP. I'll pass.

[@CamKrazy2000]

@@LockedOnOrioles His walk rate was less than 8% last season and he has almost a 50% ground ball rate for his 8-year career. And his hard hit rate is 15% better than Kimbrel this season.

[@michaeldodson8220]

Off topic.. Maybe one for the mailbag. Could Gunnar Henderson become the greatest Baltimore Oriole of all time? Assuming Rubenstein signs him to a big extension of course.

[@jwright7]

If you had to list a top 3 honorable mention, who would it be?

[@LockedOnOrioles]

@@jwright7 Andrew Kittredge, Tanner Scott, Jose Leclerc

[@jwright7]

@@LockedOnOrioles good deal! Need another high leverage LH reliever like Scott. Thanks Connor!

[@daviddevaney2317]

He just got lit up by the Dodgers for two runs after two outs in the ninth.

[@afguy79]

They don't need a reliever. They need a starter. Then they can move Irvin and Suarez back to the bullpen.

[@mugsywugz]

They need both

[@daviddevaney2317]

With Coulombe out, they do need another lefty reliever.

[@LockedOnOrioles]

"They don't need a reliever" is a wild thing to say

[@ScreaminAtScarecrows]

You just made the case for needing a reliever.

[@xcc9162]

Not to be rude, but are you mentally deficient

[@thomasgaines4636]

No more projects Conner!We are trying to win a championship!

[@LockedOnOrioles]

I did an episode about 6 established, good, veteran relievers. Where is the project??
