Thanks. Good advice, and much appreciated. :)

I was not the person who brought this up...

There's really no debate on this. IF Roberts is healthy enough to get on the field he will play. As Buck has mentioned Roberts will be at second and they will find a place for Andino.

DD on XM said that if Roberts could ever come back Andino would make a great 3B.

It would be interesting to see what we would do with Andino if 3b wasn't a position of need.
I don't see Roberts as being able to play every day if he comes back. He'll play some 2B and DH and get days off. Andino would play some 3B, SS, 2B when BRob is not in.

I've said this too at times but when I step back and think about it if he is healthy enough to come back and the team wants to move forward with him I think he plays pretty much everyday at 2B after a few weeks of easing him back in. He is either going to be cleared and able to play as much as he wants or not cleared and unable to play at all. I don't think there will be much in between with his condition.

Roberts is a better hitter. :skeletor:

Roberts is a better fielder. :skeletor:

end of discussion

I had to double check that date of this post...turns out that it in fact wasn't posted in or before 2009.

I'm not talking about his concussion symtoms I'm talking about his stamina. The season is a grind and Roberts has always had trouble keeping up his weight. He will be starting out scrawnier than he has ever been.

I think the DD statement probably shows what they are thinking. If and when Roberts comes back it wont be full time and Andino will still get most of the playing time at second and move to third on days Roberts can play.

That'll work.

We shall see. This is such a mysterious process.

      What I'd like to see in the next game Holliday plays, is for him to keep his eyes following through on the ball when he swings. In the last game I saw, he was yanking his head off the zone when he swung and couldn't see the bat to the ball. He was missing wildly and it wasn't even competitive. So, keep your eye on the ball! Follow all the way through! If your swing is so violent that it's yanking your head off the sight of the ball, then adjust your mechanics because you can't hit what you can't see!

      What a great example of pedantic! Please tell us you meant to do that. I honestly can’t tell these days.

      Well it certainly doesn't look like he'll be winning Rookie of Year award. And if we send him down for like the tiniest amount of time, we get him for another year, right? I think if this poor hitting continues it's financial mismanagement not to send him back down. Grayson got sent down and came back way better.

      He certainly isn't a bust but I wasn't happy with the pick at the time and I don't love using the second overall pick for that type of player profile. Westburg signed for slot so he's irrelevant but Mayo was a great use of the money saved.

      Think Heston will be the next call up. Mayo’s K/BB ratio is poor and I think they’ll want to see that even out. Stowers and Norby have seen their numbers slip a bit.  It will likely take an injury to an outfielder or first baseman, but I think we see HK next.

      I have to laugh at some of my pre-draft thoughts as well as others. I will say on behalf of myself and some others is that what we did not understand then was what the Orioles brain trust knew to be their model, and what they best developed. What traits they were looking for is an important thing to know, in hindsight anyway. And really, the Jackson Holliday leap in development was not something most of us heard anything about until about a month before the draft. I saw him the previous summer and I cannot say he was all that impressive, but it was only one look. His physicality took a big jump after that.  I will also add that we’re never going to know what would have happened if they drafted Austin Martin, Jones, Lawler, Lacy, etc. Their development could well have been different as O’s. The funny part of this board, in general, is the absolute certainty some have in their opinions and how eager they are to trash Elias and staff. There is plenty of humility to go around, now that things have played out. It’s fun to finally have a truly great front office and ownership group, and a stacked stable of horses.
