I didn’t realize Kjerstad was getting 1B reps. Maybe he’ll be ready to take over later this year. I guess Mountcastle wouldn’t be the worst DH but my gut feeling is that Elias will want a guy who can actually get on base in that spot.
IMO the clock is ticking on his Orioles career. This front office values OBP and .228 isn’t gonna cut it. 1B is a position that will need to be upgraded soon.
