Shower him with rep?

Considering the fact that Elias is the one that had to answer questions about it, and participate in what they did instead, I think he should have been part of the process.

I'd be surprised to find they didn't consult with him before hand. That is a little more important than shooting a few commercials.

You think ownership killed fanfest over his objections?

On a similar front I'm giving him an incomplete. Some things I like, some I don't but it's too early to tell.

Kazmir making another comeback. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2020/01/scott-kazmir-launches-comeback-attempt.html Evidently his fastball is back up to 90.9. Crazy how he can regain velocity after being away from MLB drug testing for a sustained period of time.

With poor defense.

Corn was specifically talking about his time in the majors.

But it does matter that they would rather have Wilkerson out there. You have to be that much worse to get replaced by Wilkerson than if you were to be replaced by your average AAA glove first centerfielder.

It makes a difference because his performance was so bad they played a guy with a poor bat out of position instead of playing him. I am not sold at all about any "mounting pressure" factoring into the decision, frankly I think it is conjecture on your part. I think they didn't keep him because he was just that bad. They could have kept throwing Dan Straily out there right?

Notice they haven't punished the Red Sox yet? I'm betting MLB and the Red Sox got together and canned Cora so they could try and do the slow fade on the Red Sox getting caught cheating again.

I think it was worse because he lost it to Wilkerson. They decided that a utility infielder was a better choice for CF than Mullins. They decision to not promote McKenna or Hays had more to do with their development than it did what was happening at the ML level. I'm not convinced they sent Mullins down to facilitate his development. I think they looked at him, looked at Wilkerson, and wanted Wilkerson in CF. I think they have written Mullins off as a prospect.

Not sure how Buck could handle a prima donna jerk.

I think it is 100% Mullin's fault that he lost his job to Wilkerson.

He's saying that since the O's have him on their 40 man roster they must think he has some value.

I don't find it difficult to see where he is going. I tend to make my opinions clear yet I find myself in "conflict" with other posters.

From wiki: The Socratic method (also known as method of Elenchus, elenctic method, or Socratic debate), is a form of cooperative argumentative dialogue between individuals, based on asking and answering questions to stimulate critical thinking and to draw out ideas and underlying presuppositions.

I didn't see anything other than raw foot speed that i would consider above average. His jumps and routes didn't seem particularly special and his arm is poor.

Nothing wrong with my post. When you, a CF, get sent down and replaced with a utility infielder I have doubts if you will ever get another chance. When you don't get a September callup, after getting one the year prior and being on the OD roster, I have doubts if you will ever get another chance.

When Wilkerson is plan B does Mullins even count as plan D?

2018 was also no bueno.

The O's are bad. Bad teams tend to have bad players.
