McCoy's emergence has been one of the best stories of the season. While I'm not convinced yet he's an everyday SS in the major leagues, I'm also not discounting it either.

Baltimore Sun Mason McCoy Good article in the Sun today about Mason McCoy.   McCoy also has an approach that’s tailored perfectly to the defensive shifts that have taken over eve

I did a search and is this really the last thread for Mason? 4 hits last night and up to .398 in Frederick.

Huge OBP plays.  I dont know how his defense is like but if he can play decent Shortstop he can stick.

Let’s just say that at the present time, the bar for how much offense we need at SS to improve our team is as low as it can possibly be.

I would like to see McCoy promoted to Norfolk for the rest of the season.

Clare is back in Bowie.

Clare's promotion obviously was a need-based promotion to fill a roster spot.  He was placed on the 7-day IL yesterday, BTW.

If he keeps hitting as he moves up but his defense at SS remains questionable, could he be a major league second baseman?

This guy doesn't seem to have much in the way of power and his OBP is no longer "huge" but here we are after 84 games in Bowie (387 PA) and he is hitting a perfectly respectable .282/.343/.362.

Really curious to see what he would do in AAA but i'm guessing that will have to wait until 2020 now.

I loved the story earlier this year as much as anyone, but when you look at the full AA stats, it's hard to get that excited over a AA short stop with average defense and a .705 OPS over 387 PAs.

Eh - in an extreme pitcher's league such as the Eastern League this year that's not bad at all.

However, it would certainly be a lot more encouraging if he was 21 and not 24.

I get that it's a pitcher's league, but it's AA, not the majors, and it's a .705 OPS, not .805. 

He's not projecting as a starting SS for a good team. Maybe a bench guy is my best guess. That's not terrible. It's certainly better than what was expected last year, but tempered enthusiasm is probably warranted.

Also, he’s been trending down for quite some time now.

How about as a starter for the Orioles?

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      Some owners spend and want to win (Mets, Padres, Phillies). Some are more interested in making money (Rays, Guardians, etc). If Rubenstein is a profits based owner (has to make money year after year like JA) vs an investment style o lever (accepts some years May come with a loss or small net gain) then we (the fans) will be screwed. We will be akin to the Rays who are content with being “good”. But they are never willing to do what it takes to be good enough. I hope Rubenstein and everyone associated with the business or the Orioles paid a lot of attention to all of the empty seats for playoff games. That is evidence of a fanbase/market place who is not fully engaged.  The onus is on the Orioles to give people a compelling reason to come out and spend money especially in this economy. And it cannot just be hey look we have a winning team. The franchise must do more including investing in the on field product (in terms of committed dollars like every other serious franchise who is trying to win a championship).

      My recollection is that MLB has rules about how much debt teams are allowed to take on and how much money owners are allowed to infuse into their franchises.   They supposedly won't approve contracts if they think a contract will cause them to exceed these thresholds.

      Yeah like Tony T but Tony has the ability to foul pitches at will.  I want Cowser to be more like @waroriole’s Rob Refsnyder and Holliday to be Steven Kwan.  Is that too much to ask of number one picks?  But I love Cowser and most of everything he brings.

      I can't say The Wall gives me all warm fuzzies but it doesn't swing at pitches a foot outside the zone or take a meatball right down the middle of the plate. It doesn't fail to move a runner over or lay down a decent sacrifice bunt. I've never seen it fail to get a hit with a runner in scoring position. At some point The Wall will probably be modified some but you build your team to play best in their home ball park. It's called home field advantage. IMO, Westy is the best right handed bat we have right now for this park. We need someone else like Westy that plays outfield. Bregman would be nice but I don't see it because of Westy and I have hopes Holliday becomes the OBP lead off hitter we need. Note - I'm still pissed but it's getting better. I think I'll live for another season.

      I’d like to see a study showing that team spending is more closely correlated to owner net worth than team revenue.  There are rare instances where a team owner will subsidize spending (e.g., Cohen) but that’s the exception not the rule - and note that Cohen owns 97% of the Mets vs a much lower % for Rubinstein.  Rubinstein has already been explicit that he is not in this to lose money.

      Cowser’s  swing decisions are determined before the pitch is even thrown. And I’ve been saying this all year, and I even said this at the game. I go it’s too early to pinch it for him because his defense is too good but he is 100% going to strike out and that’s exactly what he did with bases loaded. He decides whether he is going to swing a pitch before even thrown This is why he swings at a pitch thrown pretty close to his face . And To be fair, he  had a pretty good season doing that but obviously can be  easily exploited

      Cowser's progress was one of the more encouraging elements this season, especially on the defensive side. I was already crediting him with being Some Kind of Good major leaguer a post back. Between his and Adley's standout bad performances on the HBP and 2-0 count, I give Cowser more of a grace.     Sure he had predetermined intent to swing, but I think the follow through was some raw instinct as hand bones fractured. Adley not swinging was the lowlight how incapacitated he was.    I believe he commands the strike zone, but to feel so low you can't pull the trigger in that spot...sheesh.
