When Flaherty gets back

I am not sure how it works when a player has to accept the assignment or forfeit their salary. Don't think that is the case through for DeAza.

I think he keeps it because of his service time. I think MLB Trade Rumors is wrong about Casey McGehee.

There will be a cause. Players play with injuries all the time. Its just a matter of making the decision to DL someone to let the injury heal.

Injuries happen fast. Paredes hurt his back just before opening day while working out in the gym. That help solve a roster crunch. Garcia could throw 92 mph but they DL'd him because he couldn't get to 95 mph. And of course Mike Wright was called up to replace him. Funny how that works.

Stuff happens.

I don't buy it. It's too obvious They can't keep getting away with it.

Anyone think it's odd Flaherty is playing 3b in rehab?

Manny to SS?

Possible but I don't think they would want to mess with him given his struggles on defense this year.

At least not until he shows some consistency.

    • Well it certainly doesn't look like he'll be winning Rookie of Year award. And if we send him down for like the tiniest amount of time, we get him for another year, right? I think if this poor hitting continues it's financial mismanagement not to send him back down. Grayson got sent down and came back way better.
    • He certainly isn't a bust but I wasn't happy with the pick at the time and I don't love using the second overall pick for that type of player profile. Westburg signed for slot so he's irrelevant but Mayo was a great use of the money saved.
    • Think Heston will be the next call up. Mayo’s K/BB ratio is poor and I think they’ll want to see that even out. Stowers and Norby have seen their numbers slip a bit.  It will likely take an injury to an outfielder or first baseman, but I think we see HK next. 
    • I have to laugh at some of my pre-draft thoughts as well as others. I will say on behalf of myself and some others is that what we did not understand then was what the Orioles brain trust knew to be their model, and what they best developed. What traits they were looking for is an important thing to know, in hindsight anyway. And really, the Jackson Holliday leap in development was not something most of us heard anything about until about a month before the draft. I saw him the previous summer and I cannot say he was all that impressive, but it was only one look. His physicality took a big jump after that.  I will also add that we’re never going to know what would have happened if they drafted Austin Martin, Jones, Lawler, Lacy, etc. Their development could well have been different as O’s. The funny part of this board, in general, is the absolute certainty some have in their opinions and how eager they are to trash Elias and staff. There is plenty of humility to go around, now that things have played out. It’s fun to finally have a truly great front office and ownership group, and a stacked stable of horses. 
    • How did the moustache work for Austin Hays?
    • Thanks for the kind words @HbgOsFan and thanks especially for reading them.
