    Hopefully, he announces his retirement.

    I honestly don't understand why doesn't just retire and walk away.

    He's made over 100 million in his career.  He's got deferred payments coming to him for over a decade from now.

    Honestly, think about it logically:

    Are you happier having to embarrass yourself in a very public waqy every day for many years to have 150 million OR to be able to retire in you early 30s, spend time with your young family, live fairly anonymously and have 100 million dollars?

    Seems like a no-brainer to me.

    He cannot be enjoying himself.

    Current DSL Leaders:

     

    BATTING

    One Oriole hitter in top-10 in BA

     

    PITCHING

    Three Orioles pitchers in the top-10 in ERA

    I know the stats don't tell the whole story, certainly at that level, but the O's are well represented on the pitching side.  In addition to their top 3 that you mentioned, they have another 5 or so guys in the top 50 of the league era-wise.

    That hitting side is the complete opposite.  Sorted by OPS, besides De La Rosa, who is about 15th overall, the O's don't have another guy in the top 100 it looks to me.

    While there may be some environmental factors involved, I think it is safe to say the pitching for the O's in the DSL is more promising.

    He'd have to be a Keith Hernandez level defender for the bat not to be there and still have some value.  And Hernandez was still a really good hitter, just didn't have a lot of power.

    Not if he sticks at catcher.

    Which is an option.  If the pick is a catcher.

    Not if he is a first baseman.  

    Which was the point.
