Glad Bowie won. Yaz had an up and down year but should still Norfolk next year. Right now the O's have a ton of relievers and 4th OF types in the upper minors.

I doubt they keep all the 4A OF around next season, and hopefully, that frees up some roster movement for the guys deserving to move from AA up.

Good for little/young Yastrzemski.

Tony Pente had this to say about him in an interview last month:

PRESS BOX:O You know we're getting old when we are talking about a guy whose grandfather we remember well ...... Mike Yastrzemski.

TONY:O Yastrzemski is a guy that really stepped up last season. He had a great college career at Vanderbilt. He's not a great "toosly" guy ...... not a guy that the souts go out and fall in love with. BUT, if you watch the guy over a long period of time (140 or 150 games), you realize that he's a guy that can help you. He's a great defensive outfielder. He has a little bit of pop, he hits the ball to all fields. He's a guy that I can see eventually becoming perhaps a 4th outfielder, and help a ball club.

I hope Tony's right, Patrick.

Me too.

It would be great to have a Yaz on our side.

And as Redskins Rick said, reports are that he hustles all of the time, similar to Nolan Reimold.

Outfielder Mike Yastrzemski is not going to be ready for opening day, and will begin the season in Florida at extended spring training. Yastrzemski had some pretty extensive core and hip labrum surgery repairs over the winter. The Orioles are being conservative with him right now, and an extended spring will basically serve as his spring training. No date has been established for Yastrzemski to play in the regular season.

Last year between Double-A Bowie and Triple-A Norfolk, Yastrzemski hit .234/.325/.391 with 13 homers and 59 RBI's in 127 games.

“That surgery was more extensive that we knew going in,” Graham said. “But his rehab is going very well. He took live BP today, and is doing his workouts with the strength and conditioning coaches.”

The Branden Kline part is bad news.  

"

Right-handed pitcher Branden Kline, who had Tommy John surgery on Oct. 8, 2015, needed a follow-up arthroscopic procedure last week. The Orioles’ second-round pick in 2012 out of the University of Virginia, Kline has not pitched since going 3-3 with a 3.66 ERA in eight starts early in the 2015 season for Double-A Bowie.

His Tommy John rehab and comeback was going very well, but then he felt some discomfort just prior to reporting to spring training during his throwing program at his home. He had soft tissue cleaned out of his right elbow. He could resume a throwing program in three to four weeks.

Orioles doctors saw Kline at spring training and sent him back to see Dr. James Andrews, who performed his elbow ligament reconstruction in 2015, and it led to this follow-up procedure.

“He is obviously going to be behind (the rest of the pitchers),” Orioles director of player development Brian Graham said this afternoon at Twin Lakes Park. “He is three to four weeks away from a throwing program. Then you go from that program to bullpens and live BPs. It’s a progression. But there is no structural damage, it was cleanup they needed to do. There is no timetable yet for when he gets in a game.”

      DH - O'Hearn v. Kjerstad

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      There’s a good chance McCann starts game one with Burnes. Big roster. We can always move Adley from DH to C late in the game. Lose the DH, but have a big enough bench to just pinch hit and double switch to hide the pitcher’s spot coming up.  So really we’d only be sacrificing 2 ABs from O’Hearn/Mounty/Kjerstad but we get Burnes throwing to his boy every pitch.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      We would have lost last night regardless due to zero runs scored by the offense. It is worrisome that Cano looked awful in back to back games. After talk about arm soreness. He has been the one reliable guy. Once we fell behind I don't really care how bad Bowman and Baker are. Hopefully they don't even make the roster for the playoffs.

      Don’t sleep on Povich getting a chance to eliminate the team that traded him away. That kind of stuff matters. The little extra…

      I do worry about the McCann start although he has been hitting lately, so maybe you can justify it.

      It’s the 7th inning with Burnes or Eflin on the bump. A tough lefty is coming up. Who you bringing in?  Perez or Coloumbe?

      My thoughts: - I agree that the Achilles heel is the bullpen and not the offense (especially with Westburg, Mountcastle, Urias, and Kjerstad back). - I also agree that Perez is overused in high leverage situations. This is going to come down to the degree you expect his “clutch” performance to be predictive going forward.  - I second the notion that most good bullpens are built with some degree of dumpster diving.  If you go back to offseason threads, there were not many desired bullpen FA targets (outside of unrealistic ones like Hader) that would have worked out well.  Maybe we haven’t “dumpster dived” well enough as evidenced by the success of Kaleb Ort in Houston. - Jacob Webb hasn’t been sharp since returning from the IL and Bowman has looked shaky his last few times out. - We don’t have a true closer, only a group of mostly effective set-up men in Dominguez, Cano, and Coulombe. - Part of me wishes they would be more aggressive with G-Rod and the Mountain. While we expect the team to continue to contend, you never really know how many times you’ll be back in the playoffs. However, I know in my head they are probably making the right decision. - I also feel like they should be auditioning McDermot, Selby, Young, or Strowd (who has been very good since August after rough Norfolk start). They could option Baker who I think is unlikely to have a path to trusted status after last year’s ALDS performance. This feeling may be mostly driven by dissatisfaction with the current state and wanting something better.  It might be unrealistic to expect options unproven at the MLB level to suddenly step in and be key playoff pieces.

      Oh if we’re talking about what they will do, I can see it being something stupid like McCann at C and Adley at DH. I do think Mullins has enough veteranosity to outweigh Hyde’s obsession with L/R matchups.
