Look at DJ Stewart Ryan Mckenna etc

Exactly no option wasted still can come and back down another 4 times.

Your post started with DH Now its Santander should be DH only How does Stowers get ABs at Dh if Santander is there everyday So now the model is give Stowers every day reps in RF Good luck with that. All those other guys. Guys like Adley, Gunner, Urias and Mcann you might want to look them up

Trouble with that is you already have Adley and Santander in front of him. Against RHP what bat do you like better Adley Or Santander Or Stowers and you could bring Gunner into the mix. against LHP maybe not so much Adley but definitely Santander You would put Stowers at DH above Santander, Urias or Mcann, not many managers would. With Urias hurt it will open some things up but not much. Point being there's nothing wrong with being an apologist for Stowers many of us are because he's an Oriole There was part of this post earlier that debated was he a fringe prospect or a legitimate prospect the answer right now is he's fringe prospect and or org depth He is not going to get more ABS un til he takes better opportunity of what is presented to him

Here we go with the Jesus Aguilar is taking at bats from Stowers. To review Jesus Aguilar plays first base, Frazier plays second base and Mcann is a backup catcher, Stowers does none of that.

Good find Its still 2.5 average. Makes it even more unlikely he comes off the 40 man being owed 4 million. Again injuries, a Trade is possible, upgrade unlikely Sans all of that you think this administration wants to pay Bemboom or Handly 4 Million to backup catch next year

Might be hard to find a better backup than McCann at 2.5 million> Of course if you DFA him You have to pick up the Différence between MLB minimum and 2.5 million thus costing the O's 2.5 Million anyway. Trade, possible upgrade very unlikely and any case no roster spot saved because you need a backup catcher

Urias and Frazier are in a platoon at 2nd You are going give Ortiz at bats against LHP that Urias would have got and at bats against RHP that Frazier would have got. Good luck with that Ortiz is like Wartburg he's the next guy up I'll say what Ive said before you won't understand the Frazier signing until somebody gets hurt or underperforms.

Voth and Perez? Neither can be sent down

You are doing a great job. Guess you forgot about a guy named Henderson

The same Cortes that pitched 4 innings for the O's 5 years ago the same Cortes that the Yankees did not hold to once but twice The same Kevin Gausman that the Braves and Reds DFA before finding his way in SF who did not hold onto him, neither did Toronto who signed as a free agent. Was there something about the 2018 teardown that you missed. Guess they should have held onto Manny as well. Franchy Cordero has never played a meaningful Minor or Major League for the O's has never been on their 40 man roster. Nothing like holding onto those young Oriole players that were never Oriole prospects. What else you got that good, you going to give the winner of fifth race at Gulfstream Park, 2 days ago?

Yes but Tuesday at Oakland is 2 nights away with 3 LH starters then Chicago W/ 3 RH starters then back home against Detroit couple Lefthanders. Bring up Westburg or Norby give them some starts against these Lefthanders maybe a couple pinch hit chances say 12 to 15 abs over those 9 games see what shakes out if it does not work out or they look overmatched option and reset the roster If nothing else good experience. Got to make more sense than 3 catchers.

Detroit has a bunch of LH starters as well. How Bemboom down after tomorrow and bring up one our top RH bats

How bout both plus Givens or Tate coming back Many options

Yes because very few steal as many as Mateo

He was brought here to provide depth, even if he plays well the signing wont start to come into focus until someone in the infield gets hurt and you have Westburg Ortiz or Norby to call on instead of Chris Owings, Kelvin Gueterez , Richie Martin or Tyler Nevin.

Their not. They are battling for the last three spots with Cordero, Ohearn Cameron and Westburg. With those guys either released or sent down, they are in battle for the last 3 spots with themselves which means they make the team.

The Orioles did it last year with Mancini, problem with OHearn is he a backup 1b only and not a DH nor a very good PH option they roll With Vavra injuries aside

O'Hearn was brought here in case of extended injury to mountcastle. He does not as a bench player because he cant do anything but that you would never DH him> Unless Vavra is hurt it will be Vavra> Would rather See Westburg than Ohearn

Cant see grayson throwing even one pitch at AAA. What you might see is Gibson, Irvin, Kramer, Bradish, and Voth as your 5 starters to open the season. Wells And Grayson to the pen to start the the season to save innings and Hall to start at AAA then at about Memorial Day you can start to stretch Grod out. This gives you added depth as to first injury you bring these 2 up to start This reinforces your starting 5. Hall Kriebal bauman etc Reinforce the pen when Wells And Grod move up or needed in case of injury or non performance Also makes the pen Better to start the Season

A one year deal with incentives would probably be the Giants

Jesus Aguilar took 25 at bats at first base and 4 as PH The rest were at DH so he took way more at bats from Tyler Nevin than he did from Stowers, which is why he was brought in. As for Vavra he impeded his own development they tried him at multiple positions they did not like his defense He might be a decent OBP guy But very little power and thus .677 OPS nice org depth piece no tlikely to make the opening day 26.

100 percent agree

Good Move
