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.

Would you make this trade for Shane Bieber and Jose Ramirez
Chaka Garcia replied to Sanity Check's topic in Orioles Talk
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.

Roster Moves 5/21: Irvin down, Givens reactivated
Chaka Garcia replied to Morgan423's topic in Orioles Talk
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.
-
Based on box scores, I would guess they are getting him experience in the OF corners. Hitting-wise, he needs to be promoted now.
-
Both O’hearn/Vavra aren’t playing much. How do you get Westburg/Cowser enough playing time with them gone? You still need to get rid of Frazier too or assume someone gets injured.
-
In general, I didn’t get the love for Pitt BBQ in Baltimore ; it’s deli meat put on top a firepit and covered in bbq sauce sometimes.
-
Any more suggestions for food outside of the stadium to bring in and nearby? Can we bring both soda and water?
-
Just curious if the Baltimore ticket office does the same thing? For Nationals games, anyone can show up two hours before the game and purchase $5 tickets.
