Soto plays 3 IF positions, he won't be up for long, but he's definitely more versatile than Mayo.

If he needs a challenge he should keep working at 3B defense and people are saying the reason he hasn't hit much in a month is he's bored, maybe focus and keep the nose to the grindstone. I think he was getting called up before he broke his ribs because Ramon wasn't hitting at all and he would have had enough time to win ROY if he came up and mashed. He got hurt, that sucks, and this is where we're at. Ramon has been hitting, I wouldn't bet money that Mayo comes up and immediately hits better than Ramon. He'll get his shot this year. He's 22 in his first full season at AAA. Nobody can convince me that he has been handled poorly.

He will be up in August and on the team for the playoffs. He's 22 and has defensive warts, and isn't helping his cause right now because he's not hitting in AAA for the past month. I think he was getting a call-up before he broke his ribs because there would have been enough time for him to show if he would be able to push for ROY this year. Those picks are important to the success of this team going forward.

There are a ton of examples of guys who throw 91/92 that are extremely successful. Nola, Suarez, Steele and on and on. You don't have to throw hard to get guys out and be an effective pitcher. Having not seen much if anything of Rogers, I'm going to reserve judgment until he throws some games for us. I'm happier that they've added velocity and swing and miss to the pen which we needed.

If only I were a gambling man.

In fairness to Norby, he's down to learn to play 3B, he'll probably pick it up faster than Mayo has.

No Oriole top prospect will bust. Not a single one.

And if Cowser was up in the second half, he wouldn't be eligible for ROY this year.

Totally agree.

Who cares, he'll be here for 6 years no matter what he thinks. He's 22 years old playing spotty defense. I bet you the majority of the guys in AAA think they are ready to come up and play at the MLB level. He's not on the 40 man and they are preserving his rookie eligibility, like it or not. If Coby isn't a big enough boy to realize that this is a business then he's probably not the sharpest tool in the shed.

This is an important distinction. I don't think they'll call Mayo up just yet.

I never understood why they don't have down-facing cameras on the tops of the poles.

Fair/Foul HR for Holliday. Foul.

Hopefully, due to the scoreboard.

For a lot of us he already was....

Bust.

Cano would have pounced on that ball and gotten the out at the plate. He's a great fielder.

Should just walk Vlad to set up a DP and not waste pitches.

Grayson is a box of chocolates.

Varsho has led the league in DRS for several years I believe. He's truly elite.

They did not.

The one that got away! I wonder how long they keep Norby in AAA?
