1
00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:03,520
Speaker 1: Welcome everyone to the Monday edition of Fair Territory. I'm

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 1: Ken Rosenthal, and I'm coming to you this morning live

3
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:10,000
Speaker 1: from Pirates Camp. You can't really tell looking at where

4
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:12,600
Speaker 1: I am, but this is the office of Pirates Media

5
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:16,239
Speaker 1: relations director Dan Hart. I appreciate Dan lending me his

6
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 1: office for this next half hour. We've got a ton

7
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 1: to get through as we meander through spring training in

8
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:26,280
Speaker 1: Florida and Arizona. First news this morning from John Hayman,

9
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:30,160
Speaker 1: John reporting that Michael Conforto, the outfielder, has signed a

10
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:33,479
Speaker 1: minor league deal with the Cubs. Not clear what his

11
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 1: role might be yet. If he makes the team, the

12
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 1: Cubs obviously have a set outfield. Confordo at one time

13
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 1: was considered a really pop prospect and a really good player.

14
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,879
Speaker 1: And yet it's the time of year now when we

15
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 1: see legitimate major league players like Michael Conforto, like Reese Hoskins,

16
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 1: signed minor league deals. Ree Hoskins yesterday agreeing on Sunday,

17
00:00:56,720 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 1: I should say to a deal with the Cleveland Guardians,

18
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 1: a minor league deal in his case as well, for

19
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 1: the Guardians, who had not signed any hitter, not one hitter,

20
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 1: to a major league contract. This offseason. This is actually

21
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 1: something of a big addition. This is a team that

22
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 1: won the Al Central last season in kind of miraculous fashion, right,

23
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: remember that run down the stretch, and they did it

24
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 1: while finishing twenty eighth in the major leagues in run score.

25
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 1: They made the playoffs with the third worst offense in

26
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 1: the entire league. Hard to do. And then this offseason,

27
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,119
Speaker 1: as I said, they didn't do anything to upgrade their

28
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 1: offense because in part they have a lot of young

29
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:43,960
Speaker 1: players coming that they're excited about. Okay, fine, well here's

30
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,279
Speaker 1: Rhys Hoskins. He steps in. They badly need right handed hitting.

31
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 1: He should help in that regard. Even last season he's

32
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: not what he once was in the Philadelphia Phillies uniform,

33
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 1: but last season eight percent above league average in ops plus.

34
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 1: That is an above average major league player. So we

35
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: still have some other free agents out there as well,

36
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 1: Lucas Giolito, Zach Lettel, both right handed starting pitchers with

37
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: teams now incurring injuries like the Atlanta Braves. And you

38
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 1: also have Max Schurzer still out there. I wrote with

39
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 1: Mitch Bannon of The Athletic over the weekend how he

40
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 1: ultimately could end up back with the Toronto Blue Jays,

41
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 1: so Confordo to the Cubs, Hoskins to the Guardians, and

42
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 1: much more going on in the states of Florida and Arizona.

43
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 1: I hope everybody up north is surviving the snow today,

44
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 1: but obviously it's been a bad winter. Hopefully the baseball

45
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 1: news can kind of warm you up and cheer you

46
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 1: up now. I wrote about the Red Sox this morning,

47
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: the Boston Red Sox, that was my first visit here

48
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: in Florida the other day. And the question with the

49
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 1: Red Sox, and this is the question that I think

50
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 1: will define their season is how good can their offense be?

51
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: We know what has happened with the Red Sox in

52
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 1: the last twelve months or so. Traded Ralphael Devers, they

53
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 1: failed to re sign his replacement, Alex Bregman, and they're

54
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 1: left with a different kind of team, almost like the

55
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:12,639
Speaker 1: Mets in that they reshaped their team somewhat for different reasons,

56
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 1: different ways, different motivations. But the Red Sox they have

57
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,360
Speaker 1: a strong rotation. They should have a good back of

58
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 1: the bullpen. The offense is what is in question. They've

59
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: added Wilson Contreras, They've added Chad Durbin to I'm sorry,

60
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,519
Speaker 1: Caleb Durbin. Two guys who should hit well in Fenry Park.

61
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 1: But at the same time, there is a question of

62
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: whether they will have enough power. And there's a question

63
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 1: as well, And this is the one I raised in

64
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 1: the column, probably most prominently, are they going to ask

65
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: too much of Roman Anthony? Now, Roman Anthony is, of

66
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: course the game's top prospect. Last year, came up, made

67
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 1: an extremely impressive debut with Boston before his season ended

68
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: an injury. But Roman Anthony is twenty one years old,

69
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: and you're asking him to be the centerpiece of a

70
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 1: team that in the past has had great offensive players,

71
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 1: a team that should in Fenway Park always be something

72
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: of an offensive juggernaut. Is Anthony capable of that? Absolutely?

73
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 1: He is capable of that. But the major leagues are

74
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 1: much different than the miners now. In the miners, as

75
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:19,599
Speaker 1: I wrote, they play six games series, stay in one

76
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 1: site all week, then they have an off day on Monday.

77
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: And also most minor league players get a scheduled off

78
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: day during the week. They are not necessarily prepared for

79
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 1: the rigors of major league travel and the major league schedule.

80
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: So to ask Roman Anthony this year to play one

81
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty games. That might be a stretch. Okay,

82
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: moving on to the other team in Fort Myers, Florida,

83
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 1: that would be the Minnesota Twins. Twins had some rough

84
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 1: news in the past week, learning that Pablo Lopez will

85
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 1: undergo Tommy John surgery, and they had a scare just

86
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,039
Speaker 1: a couple of days ago when Joe Ryan was scratched

87
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 1: from a start. Turns out that he has only inflammation

88
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: in that or back. He might be questionable for the

89
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 1: WBC now, but he is healthy, should be fine for

90
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:09,919
Speaker 1: Opening Day. But this raises the point of teams that

91
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: wait too long to trade their players, and we see

92
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 1: this happen all the time in baseball. The Twins are

93
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 1: a team that, of course deconstructed in a major way

94
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 1: last July at the deadline. You remember all the players

95
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 1: that they moved, Carea being the headline, a number of

96
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 1: others as well, including really their entire bullpen. At that time,

97
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,279
Speaker 1: they chose not to trade Joe Ryan, not to trade

98
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 1: Pablo Lopez, and I think Pablo might have been heard

99
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 1: at that time, but Joe Ryan they kept. And the

100
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 1: danger when you do that is you're risking a player

101
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 1: or pitcher getting injured or not performing to his previous norms.

102
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 1: The Twins in this case with Pablo Lopez, they were

103
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,359
Speaker 1: probably going to trade him at the deadline if he

104
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,599
Speaker 1: was healthy this year. Joe Ryan might have been a

105
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: trade cannon and still might be a trade candidate for

106
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 1: them at the deadline. They talk about them competing. The

107
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 1: Twins keeps saying we want to compete, we want to

108
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 1: be back in the al Central mix and all that. Well,

109
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,839
Speaker 1: they haven't spent enough money to do that, and now

110
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 1: they have this question of their rotation without one of

111
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:16,479
Speaker 1: their big premier starters. This team essentially built its rotation

112
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:20,159
Speaker 1: around Lopez and Ryan and then his physician group around

113
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 1: Byron Buxton and some others as well. So we'll see

114
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 1: what happens with the Twins. If you remember, the Miami

115
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,479
Speaker 1: Marlins kind of did the same thing last year, kept

116
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 1: all their starters, ultimately traded this offseason, Edward Cabrera and

117
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:37,040
Speaker 1: Ryan Weathers kept Sandy Alcantra, and they're running the same

118
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 1: risk with al Contra that certainly the Twins ran with

119
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 1: Pablo Lopez. Now Sandy's coming off as Tommy John. He

120
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 1: should be fine, but as you hold guys, you again

121
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,839
Speaker 1: run the risk of injury or poor performance. I don't

122
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,479
Speaker 1: expect that to happen with Santa ALCNTRA, and I expect

123
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,160
Speaker 1: him to be a guy who is a trade candidate.

124
00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 1: If the Marlins are not in contention, very well might be.

125
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:05,679
Speaker 1: But again, this just whole, this whole scenario this weekend

126
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 1: just posed the question again about waiting too long for

127
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 1: certain players to be traded. You can hold them too far,

128
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 1: you can keep them too much, and that point, sometimes

129
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 1: you get stuck and sometimes you end up in a

130
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 1: bad place. All right, last point before I get to

131
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 1: the inside dish. You might have noticed comments from Angels

132
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 1: owner Arty Moreno recently about how the Angels took a

133
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 1: survey of their fans, and Arti Moreno said that winning

134
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 1: for fans was not in their top five things that

135
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 1: they really wanted. Affordability was number one. Winning wasn't even

136
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 1: in the top five. Now, one, I'd like to see

137
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: this survey. No one has seemed to have surfaced it

138
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: just yet. And number two, that is an absurd premise.

139
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 1: And I seriously doubt any sampling of Angels fans or

140
00:07:56,720 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 1: at fans in any city would say and winning's not

141
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 1: a big deal, not in my top five. I want

142
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 1: good concessions, I want cheap parking, I want affordability. I

143
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:12,239
Speaker 1: want a good entertainment. No, no, no, no, no, fans want

144
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 1: to win. Arnie Moreno should know fans want to win.

145
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 1: You see the Samblum tweet there, and he wrote about

146
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 1: this as well. And I will just say this about

147
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 1: Artie Moreno. Dork of the Week is coming up on Thursday,

148
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 1: and I mentioned last week the Red Sox owners were

149
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 1: going to be tough to beat, and Tony Clark beat them.

150
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 1: Artie Moreno is going to be tough to beat this

151
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,560
Speaker 1: week unless we see that survey. Let's see it. Let's

152
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 1: see the survey says, as they used to say on

153
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 1: a certain game show, Let's see exactly what the Angels

154
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 1: were talking about here, because I'm not buying that fans

155
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 1: don't care about winning Angels. Fans do not care about

156
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:53,680
Speaker 1: winning Angels. Fans I am quite sure would love to win.

157

179
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 1: Well, all right, time now for the inside dish, the

180
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 1: part of the show where I talk about maybe a

181
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 1: story I've written, maybe a trend in the game or

182
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 1: maybe I take a stroll back in time. Now. I

183
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 1: don't like to do that. I like to talk about

184
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:19,599
Speaker 1: the present and not the past. But I'm going to

185
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 1: kind of blend the two this morning on the inside Dish,

186
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 1: because I experienced something over the weekend at Orioles camp

187
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:29,560
Speaker 1: that just jogged my memory about what it was like

188
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 1: when I first started covering the Orioles back in nineteen

189
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 1: eighty seven. That's right. This is actually my fortieth spring training,

190
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:40,680
Speaker 1: number forty, and my first spring training. I was hired

191
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 1: at the age of twenty four in the middle of

192
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:47,319
Speaker 1: spring training and went down to Miami to cover the

193
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,679
Speaker 1: Baltimore Oriols. That was the job I was hired for,

194
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 1: to compete against Tim Kirkton now with the ESPN and

195
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,960
Speaker 1: Richard Justice then with the Washington Post. These were two

196
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 1: of the giants in baseball writing at the time and

197
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 1: even now, and let's just say that was overmatched. But

198
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 1: we digress. What stood out that first spring training was

199
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 1: the facility where the Orioles played. It was Miami Stadium,

200
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 1: actually Bobby Maduro Stadium it was called. It was in

201
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 1: downtown Miami. It was not in a great neighborhood, and

202
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 1: it was kind of a rundown facility. The stadium was

203
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,599
Speaker 1: what it was, and off to the side of the

204
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 1: stadium there was what they called the Little Field, and

205
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 1: it was basically an infield where they could practice in

206
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 1: field in addition to having, of course the major league

207
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:34,559
Speaker 1: portion the major League stadium for spring training games. That

208
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 1: was the extent of the Oriel spring training facilities. That

209
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 1: was it. They're minor leaguers trained up the road at

210
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 1: Saint Thomas University that was about thirty miles north, so

211
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 1: their minor leaguers were nowhere near there. They couldn't be

212
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 1: because there was simply not enough room for everyone to

213
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:53,440
Speaker 1: train at once. There was really not enough room for

214
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 1: major leaguers to train. All the advanced things you see today. No,

215
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:01,320
Speaker 1: none of that existed, and the Oriols for a time

216
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:05,080
Speaker 1: were kind of a nomadic team in the spring. At

217
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 1: one point they had their minor leaguers in Sarasota across

218
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 1: the state on the western side of the state, while

219
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 1: the team was either in Miami or Fort Lauderdale, so

220
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 1: the minor leaguers and major leaguers were totally separated. And

221
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 1: then you also had a situation one year where they

222
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 1: played no home games because the entire operation moved to Sarasota,

223
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 1: but they didn't have a stadium yet there. So why

224
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:34,079
Speaker 1: do I mention all this? I mention all this because

225
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 1: the Oriols this spring opened up a twenty three million dollar,

226
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 1: forty seven thousand square foot player development facility right at

227
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,560
Speaker 1: their complex at ed Smith Stadium in Sarasota. Now, their

228
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 1: minor leaguers are still in a different part of Sarasota,

229
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 1: so it's not all unified as that. Some teams have

230
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 1: that situation in their own spring complexes. But here you

231
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 1: look at that facility. This is some video that the

232
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 1: Oriols supplied of it, and there are some amazing things

233
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:02,959
Speaker 1: going on in there.

234
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:03,080
Speaker 3: Now.

235
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 1: A lot of teams have these kinds of setups now

236
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 1: at their spring training complexes, but with the Orioles, this

237
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 1: wasn't even possible until the new ownership led by David

238
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 1: Rubinstein took over. Michae Elias President Baseball Operations. He wanted

239
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 1: something like this for years but couldn't get the approval.

240
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 1: Rubinstein came in improved it right away. And what they

241
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 1: have here and I'll try to go through it. You

242
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 1: can see it right there. There are four batting cages,

243
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:32,079
Speaker 1: and these are the big time batting cages with all

244
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 1: the accouterments going on, the high speed stuff, the biomechanics

245
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 1: pitching lab. They have that as well, with thirty plus

246
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 1: cameras in there. And in the part where the cages

247
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 1: are the batting cages, there are four different cages, but

248
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,679
Speaker 1: if you lift the nets up that separate them, then

249
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 1: you have an entire full infield. And this is all indoors,

250
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 1: so the Orioles when it rains in Florida, which it

251
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 1: does on occasion, they don't have to worry about not

252
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 1: getting their working. They get all their working. There were

253
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 1: also eight bullpen mountains in this facility, so it's all there.

254
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:11,959
Speaker 1: It's all there for them. And during the winter time

255
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 1: and also even during the season, players can rehab at

256
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 1: this complex in the same way and they can use

257
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 1: it for their Florida Complex League affiliate as well. So

258
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 1: it's weather protected obviously, and it just gives the Orioles

259
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 1: all of the state of the art things that you

260
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 1: would need most teams have now, but all under one roof.

261
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 1: It's an amazing thing to see this, and it's amazing

262
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 1: really how far the game has come in all these

263
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:44,239
Speaker 1: years that I've covered it. None of this technology existed

264
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 1: when I was first starting out as a baseball writer. Heck,

265
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 1: analytics didn't even exist. We're going way back. I know

266
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 1: I'm dating myself and all that, but the point of

267
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 1: it is the game has come so far analytically technologically,

268
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 1: all these different areas, and now the way teams can

269
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 1: care for players and treat players and develop players. That's

270
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 1: the point of this all. It's just at a totally

271
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 1: different level than it once was. In that facility as well,

272
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 1: there are conference rooms and there's even a player's lounge,

273
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 1: and in that conference center. The conference rooms, I should say,

274
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 1: there is one for pitchers, there is one for hitters.

275
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 1: When I was there taking a tour of that facility,

276
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 1: they were having the catchers all in one room meeting

277
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 1: and going over some things through video and other aspects

278
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 1: as well. Again, the advances are incredible. They are exemplified

279
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 1: by this facility, and good for the Oriols in getting

280
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 1: this done. Now. Again, I don't want to just single

281
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 1: out the Oriols and have fans come at me.

282
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 4: My team is doing Yes, all teams are kind of

283
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 4: doing this, but this.

284
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 1: Particular facility it's the newest one and it's a major

285
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 1: step forward for the Orioles and Michael Olias, their president

286
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 1: Baseball Operations, believe the indoor hitting facility might be the

287
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 1: best in the world. I don't know. I don't visit

288
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 1: all these different facilities, but again, they've got it all

289
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 1: going in there, and it's really impressive to see. Now,

290
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 1: how will this translate to helping the team? It certainly

291
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 1: helps players get their work in during the spring, and

292
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 1: the day I was there, a number of their hitters

293
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 1: were taking batting practice inside instead of outside. This is

294
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 1: something that happens in major league clubhouses as well during

295
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 1: the year because inside you still get the ball flight

296
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 1: simulation that you want, you still get the data analysis

297
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 1: that you want, and guys, some of them were just

298
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 1: more comfortable doing it that way. And I'm sure they'll

299
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 1: hit outside as well. But you have these different things

300
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 1: you can do, and if it's really hot, you go

301
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 1: in there. It's climate controlled. It's just a better way

302
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 1: to make players the best that they can be, and

303
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 1: that's the goal of all of these advances that we've

304
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 1: had in the game in recent years. I know fans

305
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 1: sometimes get upset with analytics and they feel it's gone

306
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:08,719
Speaker 1: too far. But the point of them all is simply

307
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 1: to help players improve. And that's the beauty of analytics too,

308
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 1: and that's what it is brought to the game of baseball.

309
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 1: And then when you see these facilities pop up with

310
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 1: their different avenues of technology and all of that, it

311
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 1: just is one other way to make players that much better.

312
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,719
Speaker 1: So the game is at an extremely high level in

313
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:33,120
Speaker 1: every way. Other sports have done the same with their

314
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:37,639
Speaker 1: own training methods and nutrition, all of this. It's just

315
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:41,400
Speaker 1: all in a different place than it was back in I.

316
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:44,119
Speaker 4: Don't even want to say it back in nineteen eighty seven,

317
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 4: when I got to the Baltimore Sun age of twenty

318
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 4: four and started covering baseball at Bobby Maduro Stadium with

319
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:53,200
Speaker 4: the little field on the side and not.

320
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:56,199
Speaker 1: A whole lot else going on. All right, we'll be

321
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 1: back with Grill and Can right after this.

322
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:02,160
Speaker 5: Hey, sometimes we do a little game on foul territory

323
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 5: called role play. It's not what you think. We're just

324
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:08,120
Speaker 5: picking up our phones and we're talking as if we're

Speaker 5: somebody in baseball. But if you'd like that phone to

341
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 1: your questions. Let's get right to them. And the update

342
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 1: on Giolito and Lttel's markets. Okay, we're talking, of course

343
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 1: about Lucas Giolito and Zach Lttel, and it's interesting the

344
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:22,119
Speaker 1: way this spring is progressing. Of course, we're going to

345
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 1: have the usual share of injuries, and the one team

346
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 1: now that has injuries is Atlanta. They lost Spencer showing

347
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 1: Back swelling Back, and they lost as well Hurston Waldrop,

348
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:35,159
Speaker 1: two guys who might have been part of their opening

349
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:38,640
Speaker 1: day rotation. Swelling Back certainly would have been Waldrop as well.

350
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 1: And you say, well, okay, why don't the Braves sign

351
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 1: one of these guys. It's a valid question. The Braves

352
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:48,160
Speaker 1: are in kind of a funny spot because they're sort

353
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 1: of jammed up with their roster as far as their

354
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 1: pitching is concerned. And in their case, they've got two guys,

355
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:58,440
Speaker 1: Bryce Elder and Joey Wentz who are out of options,

356
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:01,719
Speaker 1: and the Braves evidently they do not feel that the

357
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 1: investment in Gilito or Lttel would be worth what it

358
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 1: would take to displace those other two guys. They don't

359
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:11,399
Speaker 1: feel Gioledo and Lttel are enough of an upgrade. I

360
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:17,920
Speaker 1: guess over Whence and Bryce Elder. That's a debatable point

361
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:21,920
Speaker 1: for sure. Giledo really finished the year strong last year

362
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 1: and Lttel has been a very consistent starter was for

363
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Rays. But that's where this is right now.

364
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 1: And those guys probably are asking, I don't know, ten

365
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 1: million north of ten million each, and you can understand

366
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:37,359
Speaker 1: their accomplished major league pitchers. They deserve that starting pitchers

367
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:41,119
Speaker 1: get paid. But teams like the Braves, other teams that

368
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 1: are facing some losses with pitching starting pitching injuries, they

369
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:48,440
Speaker 1: just don't seem, at least right now, to be as

370
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,879
Speaker 1: intrigued by Giorledo and Lttel as you might expect. So

371
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 1: that's where it stands with those guys. Again, as I

372
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:57,440
Speaker 1: mentioned in the first block, Schresier is also out there,

373
00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 1: but Scherzer it looks like looks like he might be

374
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:05,160
Speaker 1: headed back to Toronto or Toronto should say, all right,

375
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 1: next question, do you feel like the Braves don't have

376
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 1: enough power to be a serious contender? Enough firepower? No,

377
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,720
Speaker 1: that's not the problem with the Braves. I expect that

378
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 1: their offense is going to revive this season, and for

379
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:21,159
Speaker 1: two years now they've been kind of stalled offensively. But

380
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 1: Acuna is healthy. I can't imagine Michael Harris June a

381
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 1: second and Ozzi Albi's being as bad as they were

382
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:30,639
Speaker 1: in the first half of last year. I expect Austin

383
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 1: Riley to finally get it together again. Matt Olsen is

384
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 1: almost always good. They've got Drake Baldwin, they have a

385
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 1: good offense, Mikeystremsky, Jerks and Profar. It's a lot there,

386
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:44,399
Speaker 1: so they should be Okay. That's not the question I

387
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 1: have with the Braves. The question I have is if

388
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 1: they get one more starting pitching injury, then they're really

389
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:53,920
Speaker 1: in trouble, and then the choice for Gilito and Lttel

390
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 1: might not be a choice at all. They might have

391
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:58,920
Speaker 1: to sign one of them if those two pitchers are

392
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:03,439
Speaker 1: still available. Next question, see we're waiting for one right here.

393
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 1: Here comes Derek Frasier asked. I asked if the Braves

394
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 1: could trade for Buston Lopez Ryan with the Pablo Lopez injury,

395
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:13,440
Speaker 1: does this change the Twins tune on trading Ryan and

396
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 1: or Buxton. That's a fair question because certainly, with losing

397
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 1: Pablo Lopez, the team is not as competitive as it

398
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 1: might have expected. But under their new ownership, or I

399
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 1: should say, they're shifting control people to a different poll

400
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 1: lad he's talking like they want to compete, and he

401
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:35,439
Speaker 1: keeps saying that, and he keeps coming out saying we

402
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:39,919
Speaker 1: intend to be competitive in the Al Central. So I

403
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 1: don't expect a trade of either of those players. Ryan

404
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 1: or Buxton to happen this spring. Could it happen down

405
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:49,440
Speaker 1: the line by the deadline. Certainly could happen if the

406
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 1: Twins don't contend, and I'm still having a hard time

407
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:56,200
Speaker 1: seeing how they will contend. Now they're in the forgiving

408
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 1: Ale Central that will help. But the Tigers should be

409
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:03,000
Speaker 1: really good. The Guardians always seem to figure it out.

410
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:07,200
Speaker 1: The White Sox are improving, and the Royals they see

411
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 1: themselves as a contender as well. So I would expect

412
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:14,879
Speaker 1: are going to be sellers, but not just yet. All right,

413
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,160
Speaker 1: maybe we've got time for one more or so it's

414
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 1: one comes from the wicked better who asks? Are there

415
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 1: any names to watch on the trade market over these

416
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 1: next few weeks. There have been a few teams that

417
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:26,879
Speaker 1: have said they feel they might make another move or

418
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:30,120
Speaker 1: two before opening Day. I would say the big name

419
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:33,439
Speaker 1: to watch is Ezac Parades. The Houston Astros have a

420
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 1: logjam in their infield. There's simply not enough positions to

421
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:42,120
Speaker 1: play both Parades and Christian Walker every day. You've got

422
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:44,919
Speaker 1: one of those guys at first base, Altuve at second,

423
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:49,159
Speaker 1: Paya at short, Correa at third. Okay, there is a

424
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 1: DH position, but that belongs to Rodan Alvarez, so Paradis

425
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 1: really needs to go. They might not do it by

426
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 1: opening day, but he is the big name, of course.

427
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:02,400
Speaker 1: And then they're the Red Sox who have a seeming

428
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:07,639
Speaker 1: surplus still of starting pitching, and that's after doing some

429
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 1: things and trading some pieces during the off season. But

430
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:15,680
Speaker 1: they could trade of Patrick Sandoval, even a Brian Beayo.

431
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 1: I don't know that I expect it to happen, but

432
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 1: it's certainly possible. And then they have again kind of

433
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,680
Speaker 1: an outfield surplus as well. We've talked about this all

434
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:29,399
Speaker 1: winter long. Duran and real you and Rafaela and Yoshita

435
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:34,920
Speaker 1: and Anthony. Of course too many guys, so Anthony he's

436
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:40,439
Speaker 1: not going anywhere, but Duran, possibly Yeshidah in a salary

437
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 1: dump maybe like the Jordan Hicks thing, that could happen.

438
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 1: Who knows, but those are some of the names that

439
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:48,879
Speaker 1: could get moved, and certainly I would expect there to

440
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 1: be a few trades during spring. All right, with that,

441
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:54,679
Speaker 1: we're gonna close it out. I want to thank everyone

442
