Is it possible that an O's team that looked woefully incomplete heading into the current season actually has a 1B, LF, 2B, SS, CF, RF, C, and 5 SP's for the next several years?

Is 3B really this team's only glaring hole?

It appears that way........thru 21 games.

Let's see where we end up, but so far I didn't think too many people would have thought we would be 13-8

I've been enjoying it, but the tough part of the schedule hasn't started yet. We're only 1 and 5 against teams expected to be in the post-season....

I don't think he can handle 1B and hit regularly...Nick Johnson needs to be playing to give our team the best chance to win. Or so many said....

You do realize Johnson was signed to a minor league deal, right? And many people said he should playing to give the team the best chance to win?:scratchchinhmm: Huh, must have missed that. Was that before his current streak of ineptitude at the plate or his three base error the other night that led to Matusz getting a ND? It's not just that he hasn't gotten a hit, it's that he's looked awful most of the time trying.

Wieters is the more disciplined hitter, he should bat #4 and Davis #5. Other wise I like it.

SLG and OBP are actually almost equally weighted in the 4 spot. Assuming the same OPS, you'd want the guy with the lower OBP at cleanup.

This make s no sense what so ever. Wieters is the better all around hitter. His numbers now are not all that inconsistent with his aaility IMO, If you think Davis is anything near a .333 BA, .378 OB, hitter, I'd like to know what you are smoking. Plus Wieters is a SH.

Did the ball hit the warehouse on the hop? What a shot, I was sitting in lower LF and lost it for a second when it got as high as the lights and then I saw it coming back down. He could be a popular player, my wife thinks he is hot.

The ball definitely hit the warehouse on a hop. You could see it on the replay.

I was 25 feet away. It bounced and then almost hit the warehouse. It was not close on the fly. But it was a magestic shot.

I can not find this homer on hit tracker. It was so far it couldn't be calculated I suppose.

Chris Davis is putting a pretty big grin on my face these days. I hope he can keep it up!

    • Sending Jackson down does nothing, there is nothing left to prove down there. He is taking good ABs, he is working counts, he looks fine in the field etc. I have used the Cowser comp, not to say he should be sent down, in the sense that Cowser looked particularly lost at times during his callup last year. Jackson is facing some professional adversity for the first time as a professional keep running him out there.    The fortunate thing is he isn't hurting the team in a significant way right now, and when it finally does click the Orioles will be just that much better. 
    • Actually move Westburg to 7th so there’s not so many lefties in a row. 
    • I’ll go with: Gunnar SS Adley C O’Hearn 1B Tony RF Westburg 3B Mullins CF Cowser LF Kjerstad DH Holliday 2B  
    • The question is, can he be productive playing just 1-2 times a week? We don't know because he's never really been in that role. Not everyone can stay productive in a part-time role. I think the Orioles will find a way to get him in the lineup 4-5 days a week. He can play corner outfield (except I would not play him in LF in Camden), DH and 1B. He still does not look great at 1B, but he can be serviceable if it means getting his bat into the lineup. That's a decent amount of ways to keep him and others fresh. Santander probably is at risk to sit a bit more than usual, but this also gives the Orioles an opportunity to have a very left-handed heavy lineup against righties at times, with Mountcastle sitting. The Orioles left-handed heavy lineup could be: 1. Henderson - SS 2. Rutschman - C 3. O'Hearn - 1B 4. Santander - RF 5. Cowser - LF 6. Mullins - CF 7. Westburg - 3B (R) 8. Kjerstad - DH 9. Holliday - 2B Imagine having to face that lineup and then have Mountcastle, McCann, Urias and Mateo for pinch running as a bench. Now don't get me wrong, Mountcastle is not going to be benched all that much, but Kjerstad could give Santander, Cowser, Mullins (with Cowser moving to CF), O'Hearn, Mountcastle, and Rutschman when he DHing a day off.  That's a lot of ways to keep him fresh and get his bat in the lineup.  
    • If so, probably just for 2 days or so.  
    • Well, there are now 8 days left in April, so 8 days based on last year.  After that, if I recall correctly, he turns into a pumpkin until October.
    • Kjerstad also has had pretty good success vs. LHP in his career.
