I did not stop anyone from talking about anything. I did not shout anyone down. The original poster and I were just fine. You are the one trying to make something out of nothing.

It's something to me, I'll just chalk it up to you hurting your back or something with the blizzard. Let it go and I will.

TeamSchop6, I have to ask. How old are you? That sounds like something I naively would have said about Tim Nordbrook or Dyar Miller or Taylor Duncan a long time ago.

He never said that someday he could or should replace Manny, you brought that up. You were not being nice. You called him a child, Because you used to feel positive about players when you were one. No need to talk about rules or what is allowed. We get far too much bullying here.

Anyway. It got way too far of topic here.

Will he get the call to AAA soon? I know he's not a prospect but not like he'd be taking someone's spot at Norfolk.

As long as David Washington and Pedro Alvarez are there, no. He's just an org guy, may get to Norfolk next year and get a September cup of coffee if he is still crushing and things fell off the rails.

What makes you think he doesn't? 

He's a first base only guy who is old for his level, he'll have hit for more power than he is now to profile.

For comparison, DJ Stewart (who many around here think isn't much of a prospect) has the same ISO (isolated slugging, a decent measure of power), a better BB to K ratio, is two years younger and plays a tougher defensive position, and has more value on the basepaths.

I remember this guy.   As a mets fan we talked about him a bunch some years back, occasionally with optimism.   60-70 power potential and not much else.  Bad glove.   That he's moved to first full time is something people were predicting 4 years ago, and there's not much opportunity for righty first basemen unless they hit the ball really well.    I could see him getting a cup of coffee in September if there's space on the 40 and doing OK but as others have said, he's probably not a prospect, though to his credit, he's taken a big step in the right direction by hitting .300 for you guys in AA and his K rate isn't bad for a power guy,

It would still be fun to see him get a cup of coffee in the majors though.   I'd turn on the TV for that.

Rodriguez won the Double A Home Run Derby.

He's having a nice season and I expect he will play in the big leagues in some capacity at some point. Unfortunately 1B/DH is not an area where there are going to be any openings in Baltimore any time soon.

Best bet is either September or a trade. Maybe a Rule 5.

He's a season away from being near a call up. Mancini had way better numbers in Bowie and it still took him a full year in AAA. He would just take up a spot on the 40 man. 

I like the guy. He's just going to have to a big year in AAA just to be where David Washington is at this year.

      Jordan Westburg 2024

      Yeah, basically this, that Westburg's underlying numbers (EV, barrel %, xwOBA) seem to point at this being pretty real, or at least that there's nothing 'undeserved / lucky' about this hot streak, if it's just that.

      The problem with a Cowser/Kjerstad/Stowers/Bradfield outfield roster is there are no right handers to handle LHP. I don't think and completely left handed outfield is the destination for an organization the values versatility.

      How can you not be romantic about baseball? This seems slightly poetic. I enjoyed reading, and correlated your experience in the stands back to what I watch in Game 1 on MASN.  It was also pretty cool to hear Jim Palmer give you a shout out in Game 2 of the series on Live TV.

      Gunnar Henderson 2024

      By baltfan · Posted

      I am not worried.  It just doesn’t remotely meet the eye test.  He has been great in the field . I can think of at least 3 outstanding plays he has made and not any that I thought he should have gotten but didn’t. Meanwhile Holliday is 3 OAA and I can’t think of an outstanding play and can think of a number I thought he should have made.

      Nicely stated Roy. Every since I was 9 years old and saw the O's vs. the Tokyo Giants in Tokyo in 1971, I've been infected with the Orange/Black virus. There is no cure and I don't want one. You and I sat at the lunch table with Jim Palmer at the 1970 World Series Champs reunion, and its still one of my enduring baseball memories. You said I looked like Carlton Fisk! I was at all 3 games in this Angels series, right behind the O's dugout. I got to see all our boys, and just simply love to watch this team play. And in true baseball fashion, the one game on paper we should have dominated (GRod vs. 8+ ERA Channing), we end up down 7-0 and lose. But watching Gunnar's homers, his electric triple, and he made a fantastic play today on a ball that went under Westburg's glove, Adley do Adley things, Cowser, holy crap. Kimbrel v. Trout with bases loaded, bottom of 9th, 2 outs, down by 2? That was fun. Next game Trout bats leadoff and torches a GRod fastball for a homer to the opposite field.  An observation.... If you didn't know anything about the team, and you only watched game 1 batting practice, you'd think Cowser and O'Hearn were the studs of the team. Mountcastle was taking BP with the reserves and he put on a show as well.  Home after 3 straight days watching this O's team, so jealous of the Balt fans in Balt that get to see the team with regularity. It's a special bunch.
