O's play 10 games in a row between April 26th and May 5th. I would think no position player (not even Gunnar) plays all those games. Everybody gets a day off sometime in that stretch is my guess. That could make room for Kjerstad to be in the lineup almost like a regular. -

My God, was your oral history book about the O's really 25 years ago? That makes me feel really old. It was a fantastic book, I treasure it and revisit it often. You can just jump into the middle of any section of Orioles history and read a few pages and find something interesting. It was one of my primary references when I did this little thread as a project to make the 2017-2018 offseason go by faster: -
Hitters can sit on the fastball and still can’t square it up when he keeps it up. That’s a good fastball. He seems to lose command when he starts getting tired which seems to be at 75-80 pitches. By the way, he seems like our best fielding pitcher, better than GG winner Burnes. -
I think you're underestimating the value of an OPS around .800 in the current offensive environment. From a quick glance at BB Ref, it looks like Santander was 6th in OPS in all of baseball among players whose primary position was RF (a couple of spots lower if you include guys who spent time in RF, but it wasn't their primary position). I think Cowser and HK both have the potential to exceed that, but it's certainly not a given that one or both actually does so, especially this year.
