    I have never understood the idea of sending guys who have never been to the minors on a rehab assignment to a lower level, especially someone  who is about to be in the majors.

     

    I wonder what the reasoning behind that is?

    Is everyone confident he gets recalled that quickly. I am skeptical but could be wrong. If he struggles offensively, will they still recall him?

    Seattle DFA'd  3B/1B   Kevin Padlo.  Former Rays farmhand.  #19 Rays prospect in 2020.   Better defensive 3B then Nevin or Bannon.  55 arm.   More power than Gutierrez.  55 power.    But not as strong an arm as Gutierrez's 65.   The 25 year old has one option left.

    What do you know about Nevin’s defense at 3b? He’s red hot. 3 more hits tonight and batting .350.

    I like Means a lot, but I would not extend him now.   I want to see how he looks when he returns.

    TJ isn’t the risk it once was. You are my fav poster on here but gotta disagree on this one (unless his agent is Boras).

    Well I agree with this sentiment, but I don't know if the Orioles are going to want to spend money on a player coming off a serious injury.

    In fact as other posters are speculating this might be used as an excuse to not sign free agents in advance of the 2023 season. 

    Of course, because they don’t want to spend any money. This is the guy you try to lock up with a team friendly deal given the risks and history with Baltimore.

    I enjoy watching this guy play.  He's fast, looks good at SS, seems to have a quick bat.   Maybe he's only a placeholder but he's a placeholder with talent.   I'm interested to see what he can do with a full season in the field and at bat.    Baseball reference has him with a .5 WAR at this point even with weak offensive numbers to this point.    

    Strongly agree. Loved the pickup. Fun to watch and 5 steals so far!

    At least they didn’t drag this decision out over a few months. Better to do it now and start the rehab process sooner. 

    Agreed. Isn’t he a FA after next year? Why not try to lock him up given the circumstances?

    You keep bringing up Lacy and I keep asking you - have you checked his numbers in pro ball or seen him pitch?  I still like him a bit but it has been rocky.  I'm actually going to see him v. Jack Leiter in Frisco tomorrow night so I'll let you know what I see, but I think there is big reliever risk there. 

    We need pitching. Pitching can be risky, but looked like a good pick for the lefty there.
