They may end up doing it, but just want to point out that Lombardozzi, Jr. is hardly a good candidate for platooning with Flaherty: his splits favor him hitting vs. righties (like Flaherty) and he may be even a worse hitter vs. LHP than Ryan is.

But wait, we "robbed" the Tigers. It was the 2nd greatest trade in Oriole history behind the Bedard trade:)

Looks to me like this is Heyman's speculation, not reporting.

Heyman has some strange reports and some strange way of going about his business of late. I can't imagine the Orioles plan to "platoon Schoop" while Machado is out. Even if he does make the team, and I still would be surprised if he did because of the arbitration and free agency situation, I have to imagine he would play pretty much everyday.

Why do you guys keep bringing up the team control thing. School goes back down when Machado comes back so you lose zero years of team control by having him on the roster now.

Dan said he thought Schoop should be plying everyday somewhere. He also said this would be a great time to see what we have in him while Manny is out. He also quoted Earl when asked if Schoop was more 3B than 2B,"if you have a guy who can play 2B and hit you 30 HR keep him there." From this I would conclude they will keep him on the team play n-himat 2B every day while Manny is out. Then they will see. DD didn't seem too concerned about the service time issue, but he was non committal.

This is pretty much what I thought all along. If you have him up now while Manny is hurt, it has absolutely no bearing on any team control stuff. If he struggles, you can send him back down when Manny returns. If he proves he's major league ready in that time, then he's earned the spot.

I think it would send a bad message to players to say that it doesn't matter how well you play in Spring since you won't be able to make the ballclub, too. You need to let players have that motivation and earn their way onto the team.

I'm surprised, and happy.

I'm only a little surprised, because the Orioles have a natural "out" when Manny returns, if Schoop is struggling. I really hope the O's play him regularly until then so we can see how he does against major league pitching on an everyday basis. And then we'll see where we are.

This will be what happens. Schoop will play 4-5 times a week. It's a win/win situation. If he's killing it stays. If he's just average or worse he goes down. We still have him down there long enough to get the extra year of control. I see Schoop starting OD but getting some games off against tough RHP's.

Right now Schoop is the 2nd basemen with Flaherty at 3rd. The bench looks to be Lomardozzi, Clevenger, Pearce and Young.

      Yeah, watch baseball from the 70’s and 80’s.  There are soooo many meatballs.

      What a shame to lose such an excellent and exciting player.   2nd time for him (once for each knee.)

      Twice in the past week, a starting pitcher was pulled from the game with a no-hitter in progress in the 7th inning.  That would NEVER have happened in the past- and it would have made for very exciting 8th/9th inning.     I realize Bradish is coming off a very serious injury and we need to be very careful with his workload.  I can't say I'm totally against it.  Skenes had also thrown well over 100 pitches in his game.   Still, it was way better the old way...

      I think you make great points, but you need to remember that Miller is NOT a rental.   He is an elite talent with 6 years of control.

      What prospect that is ranked higher then Kjerstadt is a team gonna give up.      The Yankees have nothing to give up their two highest guys are Dominguez coming back from injury and Jones struggling in AA.   The Guardians always build from within so they are not really in the trade conversation.   The Royals have 1 guy a catcher in the top 100 who is just 19 in A ball.  The Twins have some nice prospects but are similar to Guardians with not trading away young guys. The Mariners have the farm but there issue is batting and where they should be concentrated on.   The Rangers have the two young outfielders but they are off limits then 1 guy in the top 100 at 65.   The Braves farm is god awful and bullpen not a weakness.     The Phillies are one team I can see making a push for him and have the prospects to get him if they want him.   The Brewers have some pieces they can trade but again like Cleveland not usually super aggressive in trading prospects. The Cubs have lots of prospects but I feel they are where we were 2 years ago in trying to sort out what all they have first as their GM has said they are looking at more 25-26 seasons.  If they change courses they are a player for sure.    The Cardinals are an aging team with only a few fringe top 100 prospects and should be trying to trade away a few of their older pieces.   The Dodgers farm is pretty much depleted though they are always aggressive they don’t have much unless they offer some young major league pitching. The Giants have Luciano but not lot after him and he is probably untouchable.   The Padres don’t have anything in their farm besides Salas and a few very young prospects a long way away.   The top level teams competing this year don’t have a lot of prospects left so we shouldn’t be competing with huge offers unless the Cubs or Phillies decide to go in.

      You can add the trend to symetrical parks, and thanks to Pete Reiser padded walls and warning tracks.  OF's also generally play much deeper than they did in previous eras.
