Don't Look Now but Joseph Might be a Better a Catcher for the Orioles...

[Scrat1]

That fact certainly calls into question whether we'd pay a huge amount to keep him when we seem to be able to compete without him.

I think he's definitely with the team next year. After that, no way. Orioles won't extend him, rightfully so.

[CA-ORIOLE]

There are no reports of him ever throwing this well before.

*I don't want to give the idea that I am anything but pleased for him and with his performance thus far.*

Maybe not, but I'm guessing you probably have two eyes. I have one. He's pretty quick.

Yeah, hopefully is super good and we can QO him.

Caleb Joseph, last 30 days:

52PA .298/.333/.489

Forget being barely a capable backup; Joseph is having a stretch that rivals most starting catchers, offensively and defensively. These numbers don't include his huge homer tonight either.

Wieters not gonna bring back anything good.

I guess you haven't noticed how awful catchers in the American League have been this season. Wieters has value.

[JohnnyEutaw]

Trade Wieters. Joseph is the future and the present.

I doubt he'd bring much back of significance at this point either. Our maximum value is probably keeping him, hoping he has a good year next year and sticking the QO on him at the end of the year.

Could wieters play 1st? If so we can keep him trade davis and keep Joseph. There's a lot of scenarios.

Roch said on 105.7 this morning. A while back somebody asked in the organization, why Caleb was jumping around so much, they said, he had a good bat, but his catcher skills was suspect.

The Oriole official, who Roch declined to name, said, this is a development league, so lets get him back behind the plate and develop him.

Wieters has played 1st.

Personally, I don't think it makes any sense to sell low on Davis. He has more value keeping him on the roster and seeing if he can get back to form IMO.

Haha! I literally laughed out loud on that one. A greenie for you, sir!

[AdamJones10]

Yea I guess that's true, I hope he doesn't want to get payed like a 2013 Davis. I hope we sign him as a 2014 Davis but I think some team would overpay him. *cough Yankees

I'm telling you, Joseph has a good plate approach and some pop. His minor league numbers are not comparable to Wieters but I think he can do better than his May/June splits.

So far his progression in OPS: May .251, June .674, July .696, August 1.429. By April of next year, I see him at about 3.500.

I would take .700 from our C with stellar defense and league minimum salary. CJ is quickly becoming one of my favorite O's.
