Jimmy Paredes is swinging the bat, and getting positive feedback from Buck. He's another guy that they have to make a decision on.

I believe Enjoy Terror wrote a decent piece on him. If they decide they have to DFA him , it'll probably come when Davis has to be activated for the second game.

It was a post he made on here somewhere. Can't link (or find it) from my phone. Perhaps you could search his post history to find it? I can search but it doesn't give me any results in Orioles Talk.

I want to see Alvarez earlier in games. See if he can hit better pitching.

Great at bats today. 10-12 pitches. Just kept fouling them off until he found one he could drive out to the park.

Alvarez won round 1 of the battle of Cuban defectors.

Same time next year. He should be getting a lot of at bats.

While ST stats will not carry over to the season here are some interesting things:

Henry Urrutia went 3 for 4 today with a double and two RBI. He now has a 400/444/533/977 line.

Dariel Alvarez had another single today. His line is now 250/333/625/958

And while Everth Cabrera has been a train wreck in the field, at bat, and on the bases (thrown out twice on the bases today), He now has a 364 OBP.

Meanwhile his main competition for the UIF spot, Ryan Flaherty went 0-3 today and has a 200/333/200/533 line.

The competition for the 25th spot on the team is also interesting with two out of option players:

Jimmy Paredes 375/412/500/912

David Lough 0-3 today; 118/211/188/399

It's still early but interesting things are happening.

I think Buck and Dan are making evaluations in Florida to determine roster spots, but I doubt if statistics in spring training games are the main basis of those evaluations. What they see in games matters, of course, but I don't think that the raw statistics are necessarily the main thing they are looking at. Additionally, performances in drills and practices are also being evaluated, IMO.

      Is the 2024 team better than 2023’s?

      By ChuckS · Posted

      This year’s team is definitively better. That won’t necessarily convert into more wins than last year. They could win 98 or 99 games with a better run differential. It’s hard to win 101 games. The upside is certainly there to win 105-110 games but with some random deviation and a shaky bullpen, who knows where we end up.  The starting rotation is certainly looking like close to a best case scenario at the moment, especially considering our injuries.

      Kremer is due for Regression

      By dzorange · Posted

      Does anyone think Kremer is more than a #4 or a #5 for this team? I don’t think he’d regress beyond that. He’s an MLB level starting pitcher. But he’s a 4 or a 5. When Bradish and Means were injured, and Kremer needed to perform like a #3, this could have been an issue. But between him and Irvin rounding out the rotation, I’m not concerned right now.

      By dzorange · Posted

      O’Hearn is another guy who should be mentioned. I think many of us thought that he was a guy who would regress this year and be usurped by one of the many young prospects. He and Mountcastle have provided much more beef in the middle of the lineup than expected. Especially with a Santander who has yet to get going. O’Hearn seems here to stay. This team is better than last year’s team. That was something I thought heading into the season even with the Bradish injury. I think the rotation is just that much better and there’s more talent with the position players. But winning more games is another thing. I took the under on wins before the season. Looks like I’m going to be wrong on that one. I don’t know if they’ll match last year’s win total, but I have more confidence in this team come playoff time.

      Maybe if all of those guys start hitting, we might not need a closer as much as we will be up by alot more going into the ninth.

      Offense is down in MLB this year — but not in Baltimore

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      Just bumping this thread for an update. As a team we are still 3rd in runs scored and 3rd in OPS at .751. Looking up at the Dodgers and Brewers, with Braves right behind us. (Last year we were #7). We are also #6 in ERA, up one spot from #7 last year (#3 in WHIP and tied for #1 in BB allowed). Sports Guy will be disappointed we are only #11 in K's. The teams ahead of us are BOS, SEA, NYY, DET, and PHI, so we are the only team in MLB in the top six in runs scored and ERA.  Unlike previous years where we have had to outperform our run differential, this year we are +45, second only to the Dodgers. At a high level, this is a very, very good team.

      Jackson Baumeister 2024

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      He had his start pushed back the other day because of an illness.  Possible he was still feeling some effects of that and/or the schedule change through him off a little bit.

      By Ripken · Posted

      Yep.  Rotation is better if it stays healthy (massive fingers crossed).  Grayson and Povich are around, too. If/when some of Santander, Mullins, Hays, Kjerstad, Holliday, Mayo start producing the offense should look really good. Replacing Bautista is impossible but I still want another power arm for the pen, though hopefully Wells replaces Baumann at some point.
