Looks like the guy had a serious case of the major league "yips" in his major league debut walking five in three and a third innings after posting 2.3 BB/9 during his minor league career. Looks like some starting depth so probably worth a flier, especially since he should have at least two options.

Orange Major Leaguer Cup of Coffee

I love this move. Redmond advanced well through the Pirates' system reaching AA at age 22 and then being traded to Atlanta for Tyler Yates... After a nice AA season in 2008 he stalled (but stuck) at AAA Gwinnett in 2009 and 2010. Then, he proved his worth at the level with a very nice AAA season in 2011. K/9 rates raised for the most part and, as mentioned, his SO/BB ratio has been solid throughout. Another nice AAA season for two different clubs due to a trade to Cincy for Paul Janish... He even managed to get a cup of coffee at the GAB for one start.

So, it looks to me like a guy who is at minimum a very solid AAAA right hander with decent peripherals. Can he turn into a solid major leaguer? Sure he could. I'm not placing any bets, but this dude has a chance to be a back end of the rotation guy in the bigs. For me, he's somewhere between Zach Clark and Steve Johnson.

He has one option left. Optioned in 2009 and 2012. He was optioned in 2010 but was outrighted after 10 days so that one does not count. Not on the major league roster in 2011.

My question is who goes? Forty man is full. My guess in Trayvon Robinson is DFA and passes through. Outrighted to Norfolk.

      Gunnar/ Adley . Would Gunnar have been a good choice at 1-1?

      By DrungoHazewood · Posted

      Here's a trivia question nobody is going to get unless you have Stathead: Gunnar Henderson is 2nd in modern Orioles history ('54-present) in OPS in a player's first 208 career games. Can you name the other five in the top six? If you need a hint or two, two are active, and none are in the Hall of Fame. Side note: there have only been 62 players who started their career with the Orioles and played at least the next 208 games with the team.

      Holliday optioned, McKenna recalled

      By MDK02 · Posted

      Wonder when we’ll see him again. I’m thinking it might be in 2025. If he comes up for expanded rosters, I don’t see him playing. Hopefully he can improve and be ready for his next chance in the show.

      I'm fine with 18" mitts if our guys get them too. What bothers me is no rule and then the mitts get longer and longer. Make it the same size for everyone and I'm good.

      Yep. It'll take him about 1650ish games to get there. Not that I expect Gunnar to continue to post 6.9 WAR per 162, but for now he's almost 2 wins per full season ahead of Harper. Harper is still an interesting case, where he has two actual MVP awards, but only one year where he was a no-doubt MVP. And a lot of seasons with injury or under-performance. Six seasons of less than three wins. More valuable in '15 than in '16-18 combined. 2021 he was certainly good, but arguably not as good as Gunnar's '23. Or 5-6 other NL players from '21.

      I used to have a girlfriend as a teenager who always did this. She kept asking me what color her eyes were. She was testing me to see how much I knew  her whenever she was skeptical why/if I cared about her.
