I love how these guys only tell you one side of the story when they have an agenda.

Hey Schmuck! Can you at least mention the 11 strikeouts in 33 AB's?

Yes. RZ did. I do not agree with Schmuck. I think Schoop will prove he can hit. In Norfolk. I like his D so far, I am really impressed with how he handles second base. He looks very smooth and quick there.

Yup nailed it

Just because Schoop starts the year with the O's until Manny is ready, does not mean he has to spend the whole year with the O's.

What if he plays well. You want to just send him down with the knowledge that it is team control based?

All young players Strikeout a lot. Schoop is the best player we have for the 2b job. Trust me Ryan or Weeks will K just as much.

If Schoop makes the team he's here all year.

And the stupidity of that cost you an entire year of team control. Had we done that with Wieters, who had a much more compelling case to start the season with the team, he'd be a free agent after this year.

I don't agree. The league adjusts and he has to adjust back. There will be times he does not hit. Also when Manny comes back Schoop probably does not play everyday which a good reason to spend him out.

Also keep in mind that Buck in on record of saying this is the year the O's need to find out about Flaherty.

You get Schoop for 7 years no matter what. If he's that good you lock him up.

I'm sure the job will be waiting for him on May 14 or so when the extra year of team control is assured.

1.5 months of 22 yo Schoop may be a marginal upgrade over Weeks or whomever. But it's not enough of an upgrade to forgo an extra year of Schoop in his prime.

For instance, if the Orioles had not delayed Wieters' call up, he'd be a free agent after THIS season instead of next. Why would that be good?

      Orioles acquire Ryan O’Hearn

      Fantastic pickup by Elias and big kudos to O’Hearn for taking advantage of the resources to improve. He’s a great story.

      Given his injury history and what’s happening right now, Means may make more money as an Oriole next year than as a free agent. He may have to settle for league minimum as a FA but would do better than that in arbitration. Heck, unless he’s effective at least a little this year then the orioles might release him after the season to avoid paying more than league minimum. I hope Means recovers, very much so, but this scenario is possible imo.    ps. I guess I ignored the part where you said if Means thinks he is healthy.

      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.
