    Friday May 20: Rays come to town

    Zunino struggled with the bat, but hasn't he been pretty solid defensively? 

    He has always had positive Dwar.  I believe they thought his defensive skills would play at MLB right away.  He mashed at Florida throughout his career and struck out about the same as he walked.

    I guess by “folks” you mean me. 
     

    Was trying to make conversation with you and point out that he struggled mightily in his first 4 years.  
     

    I guess you took offense and tried to belittle me with your ensuing comments.

     

    I enjoy your commentary, but I guess I learned my lesson about interacting with you. 
     

    I apologize if my original comment offended you in anyway.  Go Os!

    You think he puts up a 5 win season and doesn't finish in the top 2 in the ROY voting?

    Or is the seventh season in a row with a big market team like the Rays?

    Probably the Rays.  Yankees have issues signing players.

    Do we live in a world in which the competitive integrity of watching the world's best baseball players practice their craft, or maximizing the surplus value siloed to years one of the laundry colors has non-zero playoff odds is more important?

    He should be playing under a long term contract he signed in 2021.

    I do not think he had to be developed in the minors.  I think the O's have been actively gaming his service time and potentially heavily impacting his career.

    I am sick and tired of this "Yankees sign everyone" nonsense.  That doesn't happen 

    Gotcha.  I my hypothetical world, I guess Adley comes up this year (after 3 years in minors) and posts his first of seven 5 WAR season.  
     

    I think it’s consensus that Os don’t typically extend players, so not sure why you went there.  Also think it’s not typical that catchers get extended. 
     

    The Yankees (insert any other big market team name)get their man.  Don’t kid yourself.  
     

    FWIW I agree they are gaming his service time, messing with his career, and creating bad mojo for future negotiations and for future players.  

    I also think it is selfishly the best thing for the organization to do right now.

    I had NO IDEA the O's were playing the Yankees again so soon?

    Why did I think he played for the Rays?

    Oh well one big market team is much like another.  I often confuse the Yanks and the Rays when it comes to payroll.

    Seems we may be talking past each other….So the be clear, your stance is that Adley should have been brought up in 2020 and should be currently playing his 3rd pre-arb season this year?

    Oh no, what would the 2020-2022 Orioles have done with that kinda of production out of the Catcher position?

    Would have sabotaged their playoff runs!

    I mean, they could have brought him up and groomed him for The Yankees to enjoy.  Sure.

    You know, if he were to promote Grayson and Hall at the same time it would greatly lower Adley's chances at ROY.

     

    Just a thought.

    Not a sermon?

    That was a ball Stanton hit yesterday. 114 mph line drive off the wall that caromed right back to Hays, so Stanton had to stop at first.

    Haha.  When I read Frobby's comment my first thought was 'It had to have been a 115mph line drive by Stanton hit too hard to advance to second base'  

    That man is a freak show.  Worth the price of admission to watch him swing it.
