Will the O's go to an 8-man bullpen until Pearce returns?

They want McFarland up, and they have to add Jason Garcia this week. Meanwhile Travis Snider is now redundant to Parra and has had only three hits since July 1.

I could see them replacing Wilson with McFarland today and then DFAing Snider to bring up Garcia. They would still have four outfielders plus Davis plus Paredes.

Then, when Pearce is ready to return, they would send down McFarland or Givens until the rosters expand on September first.

Ugh, i hate getting rid of a really good bullpen arm (Givens) to benefit a raw Rule 5 guy like Garcia. It definitely hurts us in terms of winning games this month.

I understand the long term reasons.......still don't like it though. :(

Well Garcia is replacing Wilson/Wright/Norris.

I hope not. Because 8-man bullpens are pointless. McFarland can go down when Garcia comes up. If they need an extra arm in the pen after Garcia is up, Givens goes down because he has options. That's why Hunter was traded.

Yes. I see that.

TJ. He will replace TJ.

They don't even nee Mcfarland now most likely. He was brought out just in case Wilson only went a couple innings and they had to use Brach as the long man. That way they would have TJ for tonight. If they were playing at home TJ most likely never comes to Baltimore but being on the West Coast you can't decide at 1 am east coast time to try and call him to get on a plane to get out West so they just bring him along. They still may add him since he is here but unless Gonzo goes 5 or less we never see him.

I understand that they'd like to option Wilson to have another arm in the pen, but is it 100 percent certain that Tillman can make his next start? If not, I'd really like Wilson to make that start, and if we option him now he probably couldn't be recalled.

Tillman is supposed to go Wednesday, pushing everyone back. If they were to option Wilson and Tillman cant go Wednesday nor in 4 days they could just DL him to bring Wilson back.

I think they may wait and see how Tilman's side session goes and you could see Wilson sta up if they do think he may miss a start. If he looks ready to go then you can keep Mcfarland for these two games then Garcia up after that.

      2024 Prospect Power Rankings

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      A couple of things that I find interesting, Yaqui Rivera - Acquired in the Tanner Scott/Cole Sulser trade with the Marlins. Juan Nunez - Acquired in the Jorge Lopez trade.   Creed Willems - still only 20 and already in A+.  He got off to a big start last year as well and then struggled the rest of the year.  We're a little spoiled with prospect success from the college guys and HS phenoms Mayo, Holliday, and Gunnar.  The HS position players take some time.

      Perez threw an inning of rehab last night with Norfolk.  His velocity was down about 1.5 MPH on his sinker, and everything was down a tick, but he was getting some work in and doesn't look too far away from being ready.

      Who is "selling" this year?

      By dystopia · Posted

      I don’t trust that guy to be very useful despite the strong start. He’s a good regression candidate. Would rather have Kopech.

      Who Should Be Extension Priority #1?

      By jabba72 · Posted

      O's have Fabian behind Bradfield and Mullins will likely decline after '25 when he becomes a FA. I think one of those two should be able to hold down CF. Beavers could be in the mix as well.

      Its a total joke that Wagner isn’t it in yet.

      Who Should Be Extension Priority #1?

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      I see no dilemma. He’s under team control right now during his best season’s. When he becomes a FA he will be out of his prime. I mean I love Mullins as a player and what he brings. But when we are talking about priorities for extensions, he is nowhere near the top considering you have an MVP caliber 22 year old, an ultra talented top prospect who is 20, and your team leader is 25. Those 3 are the engine that will drive this bus toward postseason glory most probably, not Cedric Mullins. If the Yanks want to give him that kind of contract while we retain 2 out of the 3 if Henderson, Rutschman, and Holliday; then so be it!  What I shudder to think about is a prime Henderson or Holliday crushing it for one of our competitors so that we can have a declining CF. Didn’t we just do that the last go around? Where we choose to resign the (predictably) declining player while we let the younger/more talented player leave? Yes, I agree that Bradfield Jr’s development is important. But since Elias/Sig have been here they haven’t struck out on any first round picks. Also, if Bradfield proves to be a bust, they can always draft and/or develop another CF type.

      Thanks, I missed that detail probably multi-tasking in the game thread. I do think Kimbrel has a good shot*...Wagner should go in next cycle, and the electorate in the coming years will be wrestling with how Epstein, Friedman, etc. have improved per pitch efficiency by downsizing the workload literally any individual pitcher can shoulder.      There can't not be any Hall of Famers with all this run prevention going on.    I think now that he's officially retired Strasburg will be a good debate.    Bumgarner too, though I don't believe I've seen that guy yet admitting any retirement. *better shot if say he can get the last out of an important postseason series or three in 2024.
