Options left for all members of the 40-man roster

Recommended Posts

There have been questions in numerous threads about the number of remaining options for various Oriole players. I thought it might be helpful to put this info into one thread and keep it updated. A player in bold indicates an option has been used for the 2012 season. When an option is used, it is good for the entire season (the player can be called up and sent down multiple times during the year).

Three Options Remaining:

Wieters

Chen

Wada (60-day DL)

Flaherty

D. Bundy

Machado

Hoes

Two Options Remaining:

Jones

Drake (60-day DL)

Pomeranz (60-day DL)

Avery

S. Johnson

Gonzalez

Arrieta

One Option Remaining:

O'Day

Mahoney

Exposito

Britton

Matusz

No Options Remaining:

Hammel

J. Johnson

Andino

Davis

Reimold (60-day DL)

Patton

Strop

Teagarden

Tillman

Tolleson

Hunter

Quintanilla

Phillips

Pearce

Need player Permission to Option: (need five years of service time)

Hardy

Reynolds

Markakis

Roberts (60-day DL)

Betemit

Ayala

N. Johnson (60-day DL)

Thome

Ford

McLouth

I noticed that as well...what does it mean when a player signs a major league deal? I thought that meant they would be on the major league team?

If a player signs a major league deal, they are on the 40-man roster. They can certainly be sent down if they have options left. They do not have to be on the major league team (25-man roster).

Out of Flaherty and Miller, I think Miller is the better player now, but Flaherty has more potential down the road. I'm concerned about keeping Flaherty on the 25 for the whole year because there's nothing to suggest that he's good enough to play ML ball yet.

I agree completely.

I looked up the career transactions of each player by hand and had to count the number of times he's been optioned for at least 20 days during a season. Sites like this are extremely helpful... http://www.tsn.ca/mlb/teams/players/bio/?id=6314

Wow that's even more work than I thought it'd be, more rep for you.

Sorry, you'll have to take an IOU for the time being. :)

    • Didn't see today's game in it's entirety but I will say this.  I feel 100% more confident with Mateo playing second and turning  a DP rather than JH right now.  JH will be fine there.  In time.   But even forgetting his hitting, D wise he just isn't there yet.   And yes I know the metrics say he is fine.  But to me, using the eye test, he looked very shaky fielding and throwing,
    • I like Kevin.  He is constantly improving.  My only beef is that he doesn't seem to understand that a foul ball isn't always out of play.   A ball can be hit foul, but still be in the field of play. 
    • My preferred day 3 WR would have been Troy Franklin, but he apparently had a bad combine on positional drills (which might have been because he had the flu.)  And he got picked by Denver pretty early.   Devontez Walker is kind of intriguing.  He's 6'2", barely.   A bit on the skinny side but ran in the mid-4.3s.  His route tree is pretty limited, mostly short quickouts/slants and go/post routes. But he's really good at the deep routes.  Sort of a discount DK.  He's reported to have good hands and good deep ball tracking ability as well.  We have to see how that translates in the pro game.
    • Adley looks way more energized and McCann is veteran catcher who is good defensively and handles the pitchers well.  Doesn't really make sense to wear Adley out when the O's are using him at the top of the lineup. 
    • Just seems like a more controlled swing from the right side, shorter, flatter.
    • He was signed in the Covid year when they only had a 5 round draft, which is why he was undrafted.  Was showing promise bur tore his UCL in 2022.  Pitched a little last year, this is his first full year back.  Nice to see the good outing.  
    • What's up with Brandon Young? Out of nowhere (#30 prospect above... undrafted?) he goes 3 IP with 0 hits or walks, and 7 Ks, throwing an otherworldly 26 of 31 pitches for strikes, in Bowie's game today.
