Harbor Park strikes again.

Yeah, I'm not going to get too down on Mancini's or Walker's season based on the splits. I think they both had good years, all things considered and would like to see them get chances with the big league team next season.

These guys might be OPS'ing .850 to .900 in the PCL and we may be looking at them a bit differently.

Corban Joseph is a prospect?

According to Orioles.com 29 year old Oliver Drake is the O's 16th prospect.

If 27 year old Corban Joseph has hit for a 902 OPS with a 392 OBP away from Harbor Park and for an 870 OPS with at 391 OBP vs right-handed pitching, then he probably makes in onto the O's top 30 prospects. JMG

Quite frankly I don't see any of these three players with the O's next year. They could still be in the minors or they could be traded and play in the majors.

The O's need mobility in the outfield. Trumbo should be replaced with a mobile RFer that hits for a good OBP and has a strong arm. Rickard takes one of the bench spots. A Rule 5 guy probably takes the other outfield job.

I think the O's would like to re-sign Pedro. He fitting really well with them. But with Boras as his agent he will go through he FA process. So will Wieters.

Corbin Joesph is a 2B without much versatility. He probably does well in another organization. He probably has options left.

So do they cut Kim? Trade him? Ship him back to Korea? Have him rot on the bench?

At some point it's got to get in their heads. Sports is all about confidence. The hitters there have to get frustrated. Mancini, Sisco, Walker, and Dariel Alvarez will probably all get a chance in ST to make it with the big club. Depending what happens in the offseason of course.

Ive been to Harbor Park.

It isn't that bad guys.

If they can't handle the mental strain of hitting in a pitchers park...

Mancini best chance to make the team is as a DH if Pedro does not come back. However, the O's like his left-handed power and I think the make a hard run at Pedro even if it takes a 3 year contract.

Sisco probably needs another year defensively. He will have options and can be brought up if needed. The O's probably want Wieters back but only on a short term contract and for limited money. This could take a while this winter as Boras is trying to convince someone to spend the big bucks on him. If Wieters goes the O's probably sign someone to share time with Joseph.

Walker and Alvarez don't do much to improve the team. RF will probably be open but neither are good enough to fill that spot. Jones and Kim have two OF spots. Rickard has a backup spot. The O's away take a Rule 5 guy and he best fits as the 25th man.

So you think that they will pick up a Rule V guy to fulfill the role Rickard had on this year's team and put Rickard on the bench?

I don't see that.

Rickard hit lefties but not very well vs righties. The O's look at him as a versatility, good defensive OFer even if some here do not. He is a bench/platoon player until someone is injured and Rickard prove otherwise.

Reimold is not likely to be re-sign. Age and a lack of production as caught up to him. The Rule 5 guy fits on the bench with the backup catcher, Flaherty, and Rickard IMO.

    • Someone should ask him about maybe having the highest prices for beer of any team? This is at the new market stores. 16oz beers are $10.99 for domestic and $12.49 for craft, hard, seltzers, or imported beers. 24oz beers are $14.99 for domestic and $15.75 for imports or hard seltzers. 12oz canned cocktails are $12.99.
    • I would say "stunning".... but is it, really?
    • Don't like this answer either.He is going to do Baltimore a favor and give them a gift. Don't trust him. Plus the Ravens stadium improvement money may not all come from bonds and maybe have to partially pay it off with a bank loan. As the MSA said the longer you wait on the financing, the more it will cost the taxpayers. I have heard the longer you wait and with interest rates rising the State is not sure the Orioke improvements can all be done with public funds.   The Orioles will play their first home game next Thursday, and Gov. Wes Moore and his children will throw out the first pitch. The Orioles’ current lease with the state of Maryland, its landlord, expires at the end of the year. Angelos has said that he hopes signing a long-term lease can be an “All-Star break gift,” meaning the deal would be done by early July. He didn’t provide an update on timing Thursday when asked, but said “we’re going to come through” when it comes to the lease. “There’s no question about it,” he said.
    • During the game, Angelos was asked if the Orioles would seek contract extensions with players such as Rutschman or top rookie Gunnar Henderson. Other teams have signed young players to long-term deals to avoid losing them later in free agency. For example, Wander Franco signed an 11-year, $182 million deal with the Tampa Bay Rays — a small-market team like the Orioles — this offseason. The Cleveland Guardians, another franchise Angelos pointed to as a team the Orioles would like to emulate, this week signed their young star, Andrés Giménez, to a seven-year contract reportedly worth $106.5 million. Angelos first pointed to the difficulty that small market teams face in MLB as compared to the NFL but did say he hoped that executive vice president and general manager Mike Elias would be able to extend the team’s young talent.   They’re going to do what they can within the system that they’re in. Does that mean extensions? Absolutely, I would hope so. But you gotta go with the system you’re in. It’s much, much, much tougher to be in the baseball system than in the football or basketball system,” he said.
    • “It’s an interesting concept and I saw that my good friends at The Baltimore Sun wanted to weigh in on that today. When the hedge fund that owns The Baltimore Sun, based in New York City, wants to open their books, I guess we’ll take a look at that. It’s difficult for me to understand what that fascination is,” Angelos said in the interview during the Orioles’ 10-9 win over the host Boston Red Sox on opening day.
    • Since Angelos’ offer in January, The Sun has requested information about a potential meeting with Angelos to discuss the team’s financials, but no meeting has ever been arranged. “When I say something — like I’m gonna sit down with you guys, explain the business from my perspective — I’m gonna do it,” Angelos said in February.
    • So he is fueding with the Baltimore Sun.. Angelos, the Orioles’ chairman and CEO, had twice this year told reporters that he would reveal details of the Orioles’ financial situation. However, when asked Thursday in an interview on 105.7 The Fan if and when he’d be following through on his word, Angelos indicated that he would not be. He responded to the radio hosts’ question by criticizing The Baltimore Sun, alluding to a recent Sun article on the topic.
