I'm glad he's finally healthy and back in the lineup (knock on wood).

This minor league season has pretty much been a disaster from a top prospect standpoint. Harvey hasn't pitched an inning. Bundy is on the shelf with arm issues and Sisco has missed most of the season with two separate DL stints.

Here is hoping to better fortune in the second half.

RIght back at it. We needed that from Cisco. Right now Mancini and Reyes are the only other prospects having a "good" year. In Full Season ball a couple guys are a nice hot streak away from going to an average to good year. Walker, G.Davis, Yaz, Hart and Leyva. Then Murphy, Heim and Wilkerson need to just get healthy. I've given up on Esposito, Marin and G.Roza.

Add Alvarez to that hot streak mix, he's on a tear right now.

I'm very glad to see Sisco getting his season into gear after a slow start and then the injuries. Hopefully he can stay healthy the rest of the way and continue to play well. He's gotta set an example for all those high school bats we drafted!

I was thinking this way, but he's only played 19 games, so his whole season is really just starting. The "slow" part that we're talking about was just the first 9 games, barely the start of the start, so to speak. Over the past ten, he's hitting .364 and for the full 19 games, .281. Don't know if he'll catch in the majors, but I am pretty excited about his hitting!

I was just thinking that he has some similarities to B.J. Surhoff.

Good comp. I actually wouldn't be opposed to him moving to another position sooner rather than later. He has the potential for a special bat, and catching 130 games a year has a tendency to lead to fatigue/injuries and suppress hitting potential (ex: Mauer, Wieters). His defense isn't on par with those guys, and we have Heim in the same draft class who by all accounts is a much better defender. I'd rather leave the catching to guys with less upside in the bat, and maximize his hitting potential at a different position.

Has anyone seen Sisco in these recent games? It would be great to hear how he has looked when throwing down to second base. On the radio today, they mentioned most of the Nationals steals were well timed and didn't leave much of an opportunity for Chance to make a play.

As I said in the ML forum, he has some really great numbers so far in his career. If he develops average power, he could really be something. HOWEVER, he has thrown out just 3 of 37 base runners so far this year. One would think the Orioles catching instructors have had enough time to teach him the position. I understand there is a learning curve but with numbers like those, the writing is on the wall. A position switch is needed. Let's get this kid's bat moving through the system as an infielder and forget the catching experiment. Hopefully, Heim and Murphy can develop at the position.

Do we maintain the Surhoff comp and see him as third baseman/corner outfielder?

My guess is that they wouldn't try a position switch in the middle of a season that already has been disrupted with injuries. More likely, they send him to Fall Instructs and have him play somewhere else then.

      The Os will be in the playoffs

      Urias looks pretty cooked too though, and he's not providing the kind of defensive flexibility that Mateo is, and he doesn't have very good splits for platooning.  At least for 2023 and 2024 Mateo has had good platoon splits.

      SSS but Holliday was playing incredible defense after like the first game or two when he seemed to have some jitters.  He had +3 OAA in a very short span.  Mateo has looked a little awkward at 2nd to be honest, and he's not the best at making the double play turn.

      Hoping for a speedy recovery. That all happened fast. Not my initial impression reading the write up.

      Is it time to upgrade over Urias and McCann?

      By Hallas · Posted

      McCann looks cooked but he's in his last year and our options at backup C aren't great unless we're willing to trade for one.  But I'm not giving up a lot for a backup C.   I'd like to find a replacement for Urias.  He didn't look great last year and he's being thrust into a role that he's not really cut out for right now.  I don't think he's getting the 2022 magic back.  Maybe Westburg can go to 3rd full time and one of our 5 AAA 2nd basemen can work in with Mateo at 2nd.

      I quoted myself, because I wanted to share something with you all.  I have memory issues.  Nothing full blown or anything, but I don't recall things nearly as well as I once did.  I mention this because it occurred to me that I posted a very similar thing about McCann last year, and he performed notably better in the 2nd half.  At least I believe so.   It's not that I feel I'm exactly wrong about McCann, but rather that he showed himself to be better just last season and could do so again.  I hope so. Memory issues are nothing to be ashamed of, though I'd be pretending if it didn't bother me.  I've been dealing with this for maybe five years or so, though it gets worse every year.  At 59, that's younger than most that have such issues.   I'm sure in a forum as populated as this one, there could be others going through what I am.  It is what it is... it's life, and I hope you're all doing your best with it.

      Estrada and Tejada both continued their recent surges today.  Estrada was 2 for 4 with a double, while Tejada was 3 for 3  with a homer.  Tejada has his OPS up to .737, not bad for a league where .654 is average.  Estrada is at .628 and climbing.

      Jeff Tackett was also part of the single-worst baserunning display I've seen in my entire life.  No exaggeration.  I was at the game with a friend who was at her first baseball game ever, and she asked me what was going on.  I still have no idea. https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/sports/1993/04/18/three-man-jam-at-third-costs-the-orioles-7-5/7eb4c3d6-545f-481a-89f4-9bc0036ad89a/
