Call up Rickard now.  DFA Alvarez.

Or call up DJ Stewart if you want a lefty batter.  He can't be worse, right?

The team needs to start releasing players and bringing new players up.  It is bad enough they can't hit but they can't field either.

Yeah his minor league numbers suck... I mean in 2015 he only hit .321 OBP .427 and OPS .874 with 23 steals- I mean thats just horrible.  His career minor league

If you factor in his age at the various levels his minor league stats look less impressive.

May as well just keep Santander for the next 2 weeks, send him down then, then bring up Rickard or someone else. Alvarez has a decent OBP.

Alvarez doesn't play the field, which limits lineups.  DFA Wright if you want to keep Alvarez for now.  The short bench is also hurting team flexibility.

Don't bring up Rickard, call up Mullins are Stewart.  No retreads.  

I don’t see how Rickard is a retread???  He’s a former Rule 5 guy that didn’t play in a lot in AAA and could be making adjustments.  

This season is over. 

Let the prospects develop. One, service clock issues. Two, let the guys develop. We will see them in a few months.

I want to see the players who have good major league potential developed properly rather than being force fed to the majors before they’re ready.    If that means that Hays, Stewart and Mullins spend all year in the minors while the O’s field a lousy major league outfield, so be it.   In hindsight, I’m sorry they brought up Hays last September.

Also, Rickard is just doing his ST act a month late. I have no problem sending Santander down but in the long run he's probably better than most of the guys being mentioned. He's not hitting but I like what I've seen. Two more weeks or whatever until the rule 5 restrictions are done.  He might even turn it around.  

Rickard is a 4th outfielder. Not a good hitter.

Santander was terrible in the Arizona Fall league as well.  Perhaps he just isn't' a very good player.

Perhaps. He also was the best hitter at Bowie in the short time he was there last year. Also one of the best hitters in the Carolina League the year before.  He doesn't look overmatched to me. He'll hit if he stays or he'll hit if he goes down. Probably as good of hitting prospect as we've got.

Lots of guys can hit at single A at 21 but can't hit in the big leagues.  He is 23. Its not like he is 21 year old.  He isn't a good fielder and doubt he will ever be an adequate fielder.  So another DH candidate.  Oh Joy.  We already have Mountcastle who looks like he will be a DH too.  And who hit better on the same Arizona Fall League team as Santander .

Agree get them ready the right way, this season in another week or two at this rate is going to be a lost cause don't sacrifice the proper development of our younger players they are not going to save it.

Rickard and Santander are two entirely different kind of players.   Joey is an on base guy.   Santander is potentially a power hitter who might hit for average also.   Santander has the potential to be a better all around player.  Joey is the guy you stick at the top of the lineup and hope some of what he is doing at AAA translates.   I'd like to see Joey play every day as the leadoff hitter for a while.   It may work or maybe not.   But I would like to watch it.

I guess the management is afraid if we send Santander down... Under rule 5 another team will snatch him right up.

Look at Santanders numbers ...

.159 .197 .270

 Yea every team wants that, Right? 

 

Don't think we can even do that until the 44 days are up, think we have to offer him back to whatever team we got him from (so many rule 5 picks, I can't keep it straight).   Might as well hold on for just the bit longer now.

The more likely scenario is that every team passes on him, then we have to offer him back to the Indians for $50k, and they take him back and put him in AA.   Unlike the other teams, the Indians don’t have to keep him in the majors if they take him back.

      2024 Ongoing Lineup Thread

      By Rbiggs2525 · Posted

      I don’t consider a 4 o’clock game a night game. He also caught Wednesday night and Thursday day this week. Moral of the story is McCann will start 4 games in 7 days because he is Burnes preferred catcher.

      Anthony Santander 2024

      By Sydnor · Posted

      It is absolutely possible. In 2022, the Mets gave a QO to Bassitt, Nikki, and DeGrom. The Red Sox gave a QO to Boegarts and Eovaldi. The Yankees gave a QO to Judge and Rizzo. The Dodgers gave a QO to Turner and Anderson. I know that it seems to be a foregone conclusion that Santander will not be on the team after this season, and while I generally agree that it is more probable than not that he will not be re-signed, I do think there is a non-zero chance that he will be retained. I think he is the most likely of Mullins, Hays, and himself to be retained, even if it is a small chance. The team has told us how they feel about his bat because he plays essentially everyday, and I have heard Kostka say that they value his clubhouse presence.

      Santander won’t get a QO, and if he did, he would accept. His defense is declining and we have too many capable youngsters who should replace him effectively. But to your question, I don’t know if there’s a limit, but I doubt it.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By OriolesMagic83 · Posted

      O's will probably have to wait till July for a trade because there are so many more buyers than sellers.  I think teams like the Blue Jays, Rays Tigers and Mets are likely to be sellers but they are still in the race although not very good teams as constituted.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Philip · Posted

      No Scott. He’s way too undependable. We need someone who WON’T enter a game and walk folks like he’s promoting a healthy lifestyle. He’s been a lot bette4 this season, but he’s too undependable, and we already have too many of those. No Flaherty either. That’s like taking your GF back after she cheated on you.

      The team's continued success has really put Elias on the spot IMO and I don't see a Flaherty type as an option anymore.  My money is on a sensible trade that comes at a price high enough that most of us here, including myself, won't like, but a premium comes with having bad luck and that's where the O's are at the moment.

      I would be very surprised if every last one of the GM's Elias talks to about quality starting pitching doesn't start by asking about Westburg and the rest.  Again, I think it's a mistake to believe that the O's have a ton of leverage here.  They certainly have some, and Elias is smart and disciplined, but I don't see any bargains.  I especially don't see the luxury of acting like youth and multiple years of control is any kind of rigid starting point for the O's.
