If we do have to DL him, who do we bring up? Dariel Alvarez has been up and would make sense, but is another righthanded bat. Might we add Yaz to the 40 man (we made room with Hale) and give him a big league opportunity? Urrutia is already on the 40, and hitting a bit at Bowie, but was obviously already demoted this year and I don't get the impression we seriously view him as an option. Avery or Walker could be options, too. Finally, we already carry enough OF (Jones, Trumbo, Rickard, and Reimold), so perhaps we bring up another infielder or just use the spot for additional pitching.

I kind of think we'd like to give Yaz a look for a few weeks if Kim is DL, but who knows.

I'd go with Avery over Yaz. Avery has had a better AAA season and has MLB experience. But I see Rickard getting most of the starts.

What's the current thoughts on Avery's D? Didn't he used to be a speed guy who didn't play quite as well as you would think? I like his OBP ability above average. Wouldn't mind seeing him up here for a brief stint if Kim needs to rest.

      As of today, we have 3 lefties in the OF. He will have plenty of at bats here.  I wouldn't start him everyday persay but 350-450 at bats will be fine.

      For me, he’d be the 4th outfielder so he’d likely have to do both. He could spell all three of Mullins/Cowser/Kjerstad at any given time. I would argue positionally a RH OF might be out biggest need in fact, so if not O’Neil, someone else of that ilk.

      I would consider adding Tommy Pham in our McKenna/Slater role......he's a better bat and it pretty much guarantees that we'll be in the playoffs again.  He always gets there. Yes, I'm serious.

      Alonso would be the worst possible signing for us. All he does is hit for power, and even that might be waning, even before you stick him in Oriole Park with that LF wall. That is the hardest of passes.    Martinez is very meh. That dude is going to fall off a cliff at some point soon, I’d rather it not be while the Os are paying him.    Could get on board with O’Neill for sure, if the price is reasonable. Major upgrade over the Slater/Hays combo from 2024, if he could stay healthy.

      So, you would be okay putting him in left field, or a you thinking of him platooning in right with Kjerstad?

      A lot of good stuff here: https://www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/Articles/2024/10/07/mlb-orioles-rubenstein I particularly like the following quote: “I’ve written some big checks for Carlyle over the years, so we’ve put alot of money into deals and it’s not like I’m going to have a shock at the size of the dollars that might be involved,” he said. “The trick is getting the opportunity to do that.”

      Lot of great crowds at these games so far in fact (throwing stuff onto the field notwithstanding). Yankees crowd I must begrudgingly admit was pretty raucous you could hear drum beats, maybe the occasional horn, in addition to their usual annoying chanting and sound effects. Phillies always have great crowds. SD and LA turning it up a notch. Detroit and Mets and KC will almost certainly add to that list shortly. Makes it that much more fun to watch.
