Update on Chance Sisco

[waroriole]

My guess is they want him to experience the playoffs.

Now, he can be in the AFL for more than just the taxi squad.

At some point they need to find him a position.

Yeah that's another surprising part of this. Either he needs time to learn a new position or time to develop his catching. He's not a guy I'd think you would want to promote aggressively.

Then again, I know jack about player development.

Sisco's average, if he had qualified, would have been tied for second in the Carolina League and his .387 obp would have been fourth. He is not being promoted aggressively.

He had the only hit of the night for the BaySox tonight.

Is catcher a lost cause for him? If he can't catch at the MLB level where do you see him playing? 1B, 3B or corner OF? Have not seen him play so curious what you think.

I go to Bowie about 10x a year and have a trip or two left likely. Looking forward to seeing him play there.

Yup. You nailed it. He can get back some of those AB's he missed earlier in the year. Plus we'll be able to judge him against top competition. I'd expect he'd be joined by Mancini and Miranda. With Gunkel, Bridwell, Lee, Yaz, and Dosch being in the mix from AA. Also the cuban 1B Yaisel Mederos could be promoted to Bowie for the same reason soon. Just to get some more AB's in the AFL. Frederick is kind of barren for the taxi squad player option. Maybe Josh Hart or Hess.

I doubt Hess goes to the AFL in his first pro season after being healthy all year. Keller might be the most likely, since AFL teams always need bullpen arms.

2 singles in 5 ABs with a K today.

When's the last time the O's had a 20 year old position player at AA?

You'll notice my post said nothing about his hitting.

[EagleOriole]

4-4 with a 2B today. His batting average is like .200 points higher than Mancini's at AAA. Lets call him up....

Good call.

Mancini is at AA.

Right - It was Schoop. Manny was 19.

Mancini is at AA.

Shows how much Sisco is overshadowing Mancini.
