Updates on Hunter Harvey


Norfolk orioles

Recommended Posts

I don't know. When I was this kid's age, I never strained a groin nor did I never play any ball with anyone who ever strained a groin. Maybe we exercised our groins more back then...unknowingly... And look at Cal, he never strained his groin. He must have been working it out a lot.

It's an odd injury for a young guy to get. I never had a lower body injury my entire life and pulled both my groin and hamstring within about two years in my early-30's. I have found that stretching is important now, but growing up and in my 20's these kinds of injuries were never an issue for me or anyone I was playing ball with, wrestling, etc. I am also convinced these arm injuries are a result of kids throwing year round growing up rather than playing baseball and other sports seasonally.

He probably gets to use his groin a lot more than you did at that age.

I've got the opposite perspective. I just stopped playing last year at 35....played an average of probably 50 games a season with a couple seasons in my early 20's over 100 games (playing in 3 summer leagues and a fall league). Groin pulls and hammy pulls were pretty common, especially early in the season. I literally "popped" my hammy once....never knew it could make a sound, but it sounded like popping a ziploc bag that's full of air.

I'd say groins/hammy pulls were almost MORE common with younger guys because they were less prone to properly stretching.....myself included.

Harvey lives!

Thanks for this info.

As others have pointed out, at least it wasn't his throwing arm that was injured.

And as other have also pointed out, his innings this season were to be limited anyway, so it's just a matter of when he'll wrap his season up before he gets shut down.

Getting Harvey through the season healthy would be huge. Things look pretty bleak with SP prospects on the farm.

I'd have to rate them as

Gunkel

Hess

Miranda

Brian Gonzalez

Jason Garcia???

It's not very fun to look at the pitching in the box scores.

Don't forget about Christopher lee. I have high hopes for him. Lefty's that can touch upper 90's don't grow on trees.

    • Haven't read further in the thread to know if it's been noted, but there is a Concussion Protocol List which has a shorter maximum duration than the 10 day IL.   I think it is 5 days? So no doubt the move being made is: Mateo to the CL, with Vespi replacing him on the roster (since Vespi hasn't been down 15 days, he can only come up to replace someone going on an injury list). Norby coming up because we need 13 position players, and a pitcher going.   My guess is Vieira DFA.   It's pretty damn telling that in the post game yesterday Hyde said he had to stick with Tate as long as he did because he didn't have any rested RH relievers in the pen.   Vieira hadn't pitched in 6 days.
    • Still better than many internal options. 
    • It will be interesting to see how they handle Norby. Norby can play 2B and corner outfield, but he's a below average defender at 2B.  The Orioles history suggest Norby will be a bench guy for now with Urias slotting in at 3B and Westburg at 2B mostly while Mateo is out. Saying that, Norby give the Orioles a good right-handed bat off the bench and a guy who could spell Mullins with Cowser slotting over to CF.  The question is whether Norby will get some Hays PAs?  I'd personally like to just drop him at 2B and keep Westburg at 3B with Urias on the bench, but that would not be how the Orioles typically break in non "impact" rookies.  Either way, this is a well earned major league debut for Norby. Here's to hoping he's given a chance to play a bit. 
    • I think it’s a fair argument to make about players like Kjerstad. His promotion was questioned at the time as he was raking in AAA and there was not an obvious opportunity to play when promoted. And sure enough he sat on the bench primarily for weeks and was demoted. i think there’s a difference between promoting a player like Kjerstad and promoting a Maton etc. Our top prospects should only be promoted if they are going to get a long leash on playing time a la Holliday (IMO)
    • Notwithstanding age and position, I think I'm still on Team Adley for priority 1. One of the management talking points is around avoiding the risk of "creating complacency" when a ballplayer good enough to rate it gets their forever fortune. I think the other side of that being too stingy is "creating resentment" in your labor force. Burnes is an interesting cat as he's taken some actions that real world illustrate how created resentment looks in the cliches only constrained world of ballplayers and clubs interacting with media. I think Elias/Sig modeling a healthy respect for the opportunity Burnes has just about earned himself might help even if they know today their recommendation to ownership is an aggressive chase that already has the green light.     Information how Burnes fares the next 4-5 months is valuable, especially how his stuff plays against the best of the best once he's 30.     Fun fact ALCS Game 7 could fall 10.22.2024 precisely on Burnes' 30th birthday.   
    • Is Rich Hill an option? I believe he was looking to sign with someone mid year. Would we consider him?
