When he started his rehab assignment on Friday, word was that he would probably not play in consecutive games for a while. But, he started all three games this weekend.

Got his first hit today. I suspect that as soon as he starts to hit (or Flaherty goes cold), he will be back.

I know flash isn't a star, but somehow I think we should not turn the 2nd. Base job over to schoop automatically.

Welcome!

If Flaherty is still hot, maybe they'll send Schoop down for a few weeks. He doesn't need to be down long for them to pick up another year of service from him.

... and Flaherty is up to .743 OPS after today's game ... I'm not sure how much more than that we were expecting of Schoop this year ... and the first half of the year has always been Flaherty's cold half ...

Flaherty is looking good there but it would be hard for me not to want to give Jon the job back but Flaherty is showing what many have argued about him for years that he'd be a good starter if given consistent playing time.

I think you want Schoop up ASAP because it'd be good for JJ to rest once a week or so. Tough righties should mean Flash starts at SS.

Yea, I am not so sure Buck would rest Hardy, or Machado.

I agree. Should and will are two different things. Even still, that JJ should rest is only my opinion anyway.

Hardy will rest when he drops. Flaherty is a great fill-in. Schoop is a nugget.

I said as much EARLY LAST YEAR. I'm not one for "told you so's" and he could easily fail at first, but Schoop is definitely a keeper.I actually look at him as a future Robby Cano.

Yikes. Well that is certainly one of the more hyperbolic interpretations of 'nugget' that I can imagine.

That said, I like the fielding, love the arm, and the guy can and will presumably hit us some dingers. (But) for years Robbie was the 1st guy that I would've picked if I were building a team from scratch, and I do not expect to ever feel that way about Jonathan.

Maybe playing full-time at the end of last season has helped in that regards?

I think you'll see him rest JJ. Flaherty sits against LH, Schoop is 3rd in line until Flash cools off.

      Orioles 2027 Payroll Projection

      Adley needs to turn his trend line around to justify roughly 20% of core payroll.  2025 will be an important season for him IMO.

      Thx for laying this out. I would also add that if think about budget in terms over multiple years (any +/- carried over), there definitely is ample room or excess in 2026 as it currently stands with nearly $70M likely dropping off (estimates per roster resource) $18M Eflin $8.5M Sanchez $8M Seranthony $8M OHearn $5.6M Soto $8.7M Mullins $3.2M Mateo $2.5M no buyouts of Kimbrel + Jimenez  $5.7M Mounty (likely to be moved by 2026) $3.2M Urias (likely to be moved by 2026) A lot of those $$$ could be backfilled with pre-arb internal guys, leaving ample room to supplement and/or carry over to more than offset future years climbing arb increases.

      last i checked, it was one plus a throw in. When they become throw ins, because the GM owes the former prospect playing time, they are no longer solid.

      Now if someone could find a list of Boras clients with respect to their WAR, that would be interesting. Pre FA and after.

      Eric Longenhagen's chat today on Ethan mentions a flaw that EL regards as so damaging as to reduce him to mid 1st round. 12:45 Refugee: Appreciate your insight on Over-Slot recently. Do you consider Ethan Holliday’s swing flaw being identified this early something that works for (he’s not even 18 yet) or against him? 12:45 Eric A Longenhagen: Fugee is talking about this podcast appearance: Ep. 125: Jim Callis and Eric Longenhagen join the show. A Draft Lottery Preview. | Patreon 12:47 Eric A Longenhagen: I’m not sure it’s correctable, I think his hands just work in a way that leaves him very vulnerable to many fastballs up/away. I have him more middle of the first round. 72% contact guy on the showcase circuit, hit .240 and slugged .380 when you add up his entire multi-year showcase sample. Love the raw power potential, don’t think the performance merits a top 5 pick. But the Colorado/Holliday connection and Washington’s willingness to take guys like Elijah Green looms.

      I'm fine with Castillo but I would like another piece too whether it's Buhler, Manea or another trade like Montgomery who won't cost any big prospects one would think. I sure hope they won't be satisfied with just Castillo as he isn't as good as Burnes. If Baltimore is losing a TOR and not replacing him with a TOR then make the rotation as deep as possible so we don't see another situation like last season.

      Exactly   Let it play out and judge the postseason when it is complete.   Being made at Elias for something you think he might fail to do is... kind of silly.
