The Orioles are headed in a direction where we will have good to great hitters 1- 9. Even if we take a step back whenever Kjerstad takes over for Santander or if Mayo takes over for O'Hearn or Mountcastle next year (which is reasonable to project), we will still be an elite offense because of everyone else.
I don't want to say this lacking humility, but with the massive amount of talent that the Orioles have collected, it's too big/too much to really go wrong.
Did you think Cowser was rushed last year?
An advanced 23 y/o college bat with 850ish MiL at bats (at the time of the call up) and a career 900ish OPS in the minors.
Was that a player who was rushed?
Good luck. He doesn’t believe promoting someone before they’ve developed enough to succeed in the major leagues is a thing or equates to being rushed. You have zero chance of getting through to him.
