Lower the bar to 400 PAs and there were 27. Health and platoons? Still less than 1 per team. In the early going, there are 42 over .850. Still wouldn't count on it, but crazier things have happened from lesser talent over the course of a season. As a team, O's team OPS is .780. Sure a few mild surprises, but also a nothing burger from Holliday. -

Today's guess: Gunnar - SS Adley - C O'Hearn - 1B Santander - DH Cowser - LF Mullins - CF Westburg - 3B Kjerstad - RF Holliday - 2B Stupid. Lol. -

Means has to pitch his way back into our rotation. Not impossible, but I think Akin or Tate will be optioned for him next week when his 30 days are up. -
They could go 0 for the season and they'd still be more fun than the singing group. -

Reminds me of Miguel Gonzalez, who came out of nowhere to be a major contributor to some playoff runs. I doubt he ends up as a rotation mainstay. But I was certain O'Hearn would turn into a pumpkin after a few weeks too and he still hasn't. -

If it weren’t for the service time component I think Holliday would have a very long leash before being sent down. He’s still contributing positively on defense and AAA pitchers just were not challenging him anymore. The priority above all else should be what is best for his long term development, and he needs to struggle against MLB pitching for longer than this to get to a point where you feel it’s doing more harm than good. I do think there can be some merit to the idea that MLB time exposes some weakness, which then can be worked on in a lower-stress environment in AAA, but I don’t think that’s strictly necessary since he’d be working on the same things against MLB pitching. However, the Orioles are now in a tricky situation where if it becomes apparent that Holliday is not going to win ROY, they have a strong incentive to send him down for at least a short stint to get the extra year. How they navigate that without that being totally transparent is tough. They could definitely do it now and nobody would claim service time manipulation given his struggles, but I don’t think they want to yet for purely development purposes. If he’s still struggling with around 100 PAs that’s when I think they make the move.
