Of course Wright should get more exposure. He has shown he deserves it.

This is one thing I love about the DD era, he is more animated than previous GMs and is fine with making an aggressive roster play like dropping this guy into the rotation and running with it as long as it works. Oh sure we did weird stuff like promote Jeff Fiorentino from A ball or whatever but mostly we've had boring, uncreative teams, from a roster management perspective.

At worst Wright helps us out of the bullpen with the potential of being a real shutdown arm. Something our bullpen lack outside of Britton.

I don't think you send him back to Norfolk until he has proven he's not capable as a starter or in the bullpen.

The Dodgers may be looking to fill a spot in their rotation. Maybe Norris can turn in 3-4 good starts when he gets back and become attractive for them.

Doesn't Steve Johnson have a June 1st opt out clause. I'd like to see him get a chance and just not let him go. We all know how DD doesn't like to lose players. So in that case Norris goes back in the rotation and Wright goes down to AAA and SJ comes up after the doubleheader vs the white sox. Lots of decisions to make shortly with W.Wright about to start a rehab stint. In a week we may be looking at a rotation of Tillman, Chen, Ubaldo, Gonzo, Norris. And a pen of Britton, O'day, Brach, Hunter, Matusz, W.Wright, S.Johnson. With Gausman, Wright and Wilson all returning to Norfolk's rotation. So as much as we like the young guys it could just be a return to the vets. Which isn't a bad thing. #winningstreak

Just from my non-expert eye... is SJ that much to lose? DD will do all he can to not lose lose ANY player but...

e: And would Steve even opt-out from his home team?

Of course he would opt out if he could be in the majors. That's a big difference in money. He had 2 injury plagued seasons. I'm willing to say that right now in relief he's better than Hunter, Matusz, Garcia, Drake, Givens and all the other AAA guys.

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

      By Say O! · Posted

      Regarding the overall league offensive environment, I think it’s less injuries/depth and more to do with putridness of CWS and MIA offenses, with COL not much better.  Those three are wRC+ of 62, 67, 75 respectively. Most years shake out with the worst team around 80. FYI the Os are currently 127 wRC+ only trailing the LAD 128.  Also note that Os are second in BSR, only trailing CIN, with CIN, Os, KCR significantly better than rest of league.

      Yeah, I was looking at our OPS numbers last night. Updated for today, we have two guys over 1.000, four guys over .900, and eight guys .736 (116 OPS+) or higher. So almost our entire lineup is above average or better with four guys producing at an elite level.  Cowser 1.139/232 Gunnar 1.022/199 Westburg .941/176 O'Hearn .938/175 Mountcastle .866/157 Rutschman .786/135 Santander .741/118 Mullins .736/116 We also have Mateo off the bench at .746/120 and McCann .667/96, slightly below average but not too shabby for a backup C.  Whenever I get the road announcers, they are always talking up our offense. Even when we are down, whenever we get a couple runners they say "here comes that Orioles offense again, they are relentless and they are never out of a game."

      The Orioles have a wRC+ as a team of 128, which is better than the wRC+ for any single Orioles hitter last year - Adley was 127 and Gunnar 123 (although Hicks was 129 in his ~200 ABs). That’s the second best in baseball, behind only Atlanta at 128, and a good bit ahead of the Dodgers at 122, who are both riding unsustainably high BABIPs (.340 and .328; by comparison, league average is .290 and the Orioles are .294).  Despite walking at a very low rate as a team, the Orioles are doing it by being by far the best power hitting team in baseball. Their .199 ISO is far ahead of the Braves second at .184, and the league average is .143. I think power numbers usually go up as weather gets warmer too, so that should only increase. The top team wRC+ last year were the Braves at 125, and then 4 teams between 112 and 118. So the Orioles will almost certainly cool off to some degree. But I also think we could see the walk rate tick up as the scouting reports adjust - Gunnar, Westburg and Cowser in particular have been hitting for huge power at low walk rates (for Cowser, until 3 walks last night), so I could see there being a trade off of walks for less power if pitchers are more careful pitching in-zone to them going forward.

      But when Santander gets hot or Adley goes on a power run someone else might start slumping. Cowser is not going to have a 1.139 OPS forever, nor will Mountcastle likely end the year with a .385 OBP. I think this offense is about as good as anyone could have hoped for.

      It's been well noted that Kimbrel isn't great at holding runners and can be run on.  Given Adell's 91% sprint speed (yes, I know stolen base technique is something else altogether) I thought letting him run wasn't a bad move. He had a hell of a jump, I was surprised that the play was as close as it was.

      I'd like to see him promoted soon to see how his limited # of bullets perform this year against better competition.

      Who Should Be Extension Priority #1?

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      Unless we cannot sign Gunnar/Adley/Holliday whatsoever (because they are simply uninterested at any dollar amount), I don’t want to tie any significant dollar amount that could be going to them in future years on a player like Mullins (good not great).
