Anyone standing out from FCL that deserves a promotion? Doesn’t seem like the bigger international signing.

Jud Fabian deserved the promotion and I’m excited to see him at Bowie. Hopefully an upcoming Fabian bobblehead promotion.

You misunderstood -I meant Westburg should be there instead of Frazier -playing 2B and backing up Henderson at 3B. Not replacing another rookie.

I couldn’t agree more. Add-on the recent Norby interview about prospects getting opportunities elsewhere- morale may not be rosy. It’s unfortunate, someone like Westberg was not given an opportunity to win 2B/3B during spring training - despite earning it through last year’s performance. These guys deserve to be up.

I wonder when the Beavers/Fabian/Wagner get the bump to Bowie? It would be a big shot in the arm to see them excel like the Norby/Cowser group.

The prospect media outlets have fallen in love with our minor league guys. I thought DL Hall would be dropped. Outside of strikeouts, not much to get excited about. Almost 25 and can’t handle starter innings and walks a ton of guys.

Any velocity readings? I saw somewhere he’s in the 90-92 range- hoping that gets better.

I think he knows he can be promoted anytime. Letting Elias know he’s ready and don’t need no ramp up time.

I was hoping Tony would play there more. Outside of O’hearn, who would replace him? Are you thinking Westburg?

That's disappointing, he went from someone to root for to someone who wasn't competent at his job. Must be other mistakes too.

Any news on his return? Bad timing with Cedric being hurt and him being on the DL.

Would love to see if Westburg and Cowser could bring some spark to the MLB lineup.

I would trade Norby or DL Hall and throw in a C prospect or Player like Vavra/Stowers for Bieber.

Like many, I didn’t realized his weight ballooned up to 250 lbs(on a 6ft frame). Makes the signing a-little puzzling. Did they not see his weight gain as a red flag along with the velocity decline.

You can see why Elias favors hitters in the draft. Pitching is so risky. There is a chance neither become reliable starters.

He’s been a pleasant surprise. Seems to fit the type of hitters the O’s are developing. Still 21, good OBP and shown power. I guess we need to figure where he fits defensively.

Agree on this. He’s 24, shown to be advanced at AA, let’s move him up. I can understand you may slow roll on Holliday or Basallo due to age. But this dude is almost in his mid 20s.

I know he’s the face of the franchise and a good player. However, he’s been slumping badly in terms of hits/homers. The walks will always be there.

He’s played a few games at 2nd, how his defense? I gotta assume it’s no better than Norby.

For anyone who seen Fabian’s outfield play, how is he as a CF? How’s the arm and speed?

Why not just promote their top prospect from Bowie?

I remember during the offseason, he was at a pitching facility to increase velocity. I guess there wasn’t any improvement.

Makes me question why traded for Irvin; they gave up on him pretty quickly.

He seems to have a small frame to me. Already 185 at 5-10/5-11, not sure he can pack much more.

If Nolan signed, we wouldn’t have wasted money on Carter Young who looks like a non prospect.
