My point is that your certainty may not be backed up by the evidence, and may not be shared by other people with equal or greater knowledge of the situation.

I agree.

Roch mentioned Cabrera wasn't 100% and was probably going to the DL or AAA to make room for Flaherty.

He was insurance and depth and he can provide that from AAA.

Comparing him to Cabrera doesn't really make sense for this season. Maybe next year. But for this year he's not better than Hardy or Flaherty and. No need for a strictly IF utility guy. Now next offseason I see him beating out Cabrera for a bench spot because of contracts.

Didn't Bordick mention this during a broadcast this week? The news didn't get to our beat reporters?

Service time as opposed to options.

Which is what I thought Bordick had already confirmed.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Cabrera reached 5 years of service time late last month, so he can not be sent to the minors without his consent. <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/orioles?src=hash">#orioles</a></p>— Eduardo A.

    • I think you'd see a much stronger correlation to how they were rated in the minors vs. draft position. Westburg has been treated similarly to Cowser and Kjerstad. Adley, Gunnar and Holliday were all consensus #1 prospects and have been given pretty much immediate every day player status.
    • Game ball or the equivalent of hockey star(s) of the game for me: Suarez — all of those zero’s on the road, gets my game ball. Kimbrel is my runner-up. I know striking out Trout with the bases loaded is the job, but it ain’t easy. Cowser - Honorable Mention. I’m still not 100 percent in on the Milkman nickname, but he sure is fun to watch.
    • Yeah - I was thinking Beavers could fill that spot, but it seems he is more suited for a corner outfield position, if he makes the bigs at all.
    • We have all this year and next if it’s needed.   No rush.  No hurry. 
    • Kjesrtad was Elias's #1 pick in 2020 draft and #2 overall, so Elias saw something great in him.  Can you all imagine how powerful the O's will be if Holliday starts to hit and Kjerstadt hits like he did in the minors, Kjesrtad did good when he was called up in 2023.  They will be the Baltimore Bombers!
    • I'm not crushing Santander either, but he's a career .765 OPS guy. It was .797 last year. His only year over .800 was the Covid year. He plays average defense. Not a butcher, but not exactly rangy out there. Long story short, I think you can get similar power with more OBP from Kjerstad and Cowser with similar defense for Kjerstad and better for Cowser. So yes, I'd say they'll be better than Santander.
    • Can we get Buster Olney, talking heads, and various posters to look in the mirror for their ridiculing Elias' "hoarding" prospects? The strategy has always been about raising the competitive floor/ceiling while managing risk like a portfolio manager.  Seeking alpha while managing beta is the goal.  Sig's purpose is the quantify. And yet we still have people tossing out trade proposals and extensions and unhealthy FA pursuits because they know better and moving prospects to other positions.  It's fun to speculate but it's foolish to present it as an absolute.
