Hardy may be days away from being back with the O's. He is in Norfolk working out. Waiting for his non throwing shoulder to heal. Once he gets in a game with the Tides, he could be in with the O's the next day. Paredes had a one game rehab. I could see JJ doing the same.

So will Buck trust 2B to Cabrera? Everth has played 14 games at SS this year. None at 2B. In his career he has played 12 games at 2B in the majors. 6 in 2010 and 6 in 2012. He has played 475 games at SS in the majors.

Buck played Cabrera in 6 ST games this spring. He was not as comfortable there as he is at SS.

Rey Navarro will probably make his major league debut at 2B tonight. He probably starts there until Hardy is ready. Then Buck and Dan make a decision. Cabrera or Navarro probably get optioned to Norfolk. Cabrera has years of experience in the the majors but not at 2B. It will be interesting to see how this goes. If Navarro is sent down he can't be recalled for 10 days. If Cabrera is not up to holding down 2B it could be a long 10 days.

The other player that could be involved in David Lough. The 25th man is always on the bubble.

Stay tuned.

I don't believe he will. I think that is why Navarro is coming up.

The two aren't necessarily related to each other. Navarro is coming up now because Cabrera is currently the everyday SS. Once Hardy returns, it's very possible Navarro goes back down and Cabrera slides to 2B.

It's possible, but don't you think we would have seen more of Flaherty at SS if that were the case?

What do you know about Navarro? I just have read a couple of things online but never seen him play before. I am hoping the O's saw something to give him a major league deal.

Navarro has been a minor league All-Star in four different years. LowA, A, and twice at AA. Years 2009, 2011, 2013 and 2014. He has played 320 games at 2B but has also played SS and 3B. His range numbers are not as good as Schoop or Flaherty but they are good. He was known for his defensive throughout his minor league career but his bat has come on in the last year. In the minors, in winter ball and in spring training.

Thanks for the feedback. Have you see him play at all?

      Jordan Westburg 2024

      Yeah, basically this, that Westburg's underlying numbers (EV, barrel %, xwOBA) seem to point at this being pretty real, or at least that there's nothing 'undeserved / lucky' about this hot streak, if it's just that.

      The problem with a Cowser/Kjerstad/Stowers/Bradfield outfield roster is there are no right handers to handle LHP. I don't think and completely left handed outfield is the destination for an organization the values versatility.

      Looks maybe concussion related.

      How can you not be romantic about baseball? This seems slightly poetic. I enjoyed reading, and correlated your experience in the stands back to what I watch in Game 1 on MASN.  It was also pretty cool to hear Jim Palmer give you a shout out in Game 2 of the series on Live TV.

      Gunnar Henderson 2024

      By baltfan · Posted

      I am not worried.  It just doesn’t remotely meet the eye test.  He has been great in the field . I can think of at least 3 outstanding plays he has made and not any that I thought he should have gotten but didn’t. Meanwhile Holliday is 3 OAA and I can’t think of an outstanding play and can think of a number I thought he should have made.

      Nicely stated Roy. Every since I was 9 years old and saw the O's vs. the Tokyo Giants in Tokyo in 1971, I've been infected with the Orange/Black virus. There is no cure and I don't want one. You and I sat at the lunch table with Jim Palmer at the 1970 World Series Champs reunion, and its still one of my enduring baseball memories. You said I looked like Carlton Fisk! I was at all 3 games in this Angels series, right behind the O's dugout. I got to see all our boys, and just simply love to watch this team play. And in true baseball fashion, the one game on paper we should have dominated (GRod vs. 8+ ERA Channing), we end up down 7-0 and lose. But watching Gunnar's homers, his electric triple, and he made a fantastic play today on a ball that went under Westburg's glove, Adley do Adley things, Cowser, holy crap. Kimbrel v. Trout with bases loaded, bottom of 9th, 2 outs, down by 2? That was fun. Next game Trout bats leadoff and torches a GRod fastball for a homer to the opposite field.  An observation.... If you didn't know anything about the team, and you only watched game 1 batting practice, you'd think Cowser and O'Hearn were the studs of the team. Mountcastle was taking BP with the reserves and he put on a show as well.  Home after 3 straight days watching this O's team, so jealous of the Balt fans in Balt that get to see the team with regularity. It's a special bunch.
