Why do you guys think this guy is anything but a third stringer? Check out the Brewers forum to get some opinions from people that have seen him play.

Gotta love this comment from a Brewers fan:

Honestly, I think Susac is the worst position player I have ever watched in the major leagues.

We must have very low standards here in O's land these days.

I don’t rely on a few posters from some fan forum to judge a player.  What if all Orioles’ players were judged on the worst opinion of them here?

In any event, it’s not like anyone’s flipping cartwheels over signing this guy.    If he’s as bad as that Brewer fan says, he’ll be released or sent to the minors.

Wait till they get a load of PTBNL or that guy named cash.

Fangraphs Depth Charts projects Joseph over Susac in wOBA .288 to .284 (Sisco .311).  They also are projecting a 50/50 split, so however bad news this is for Sisco, it's probably almost as bad news for Joseph.

Susac's 2017 was atrocious though.

I wouldn’t put one iota of credence in fangraphs’ projection of how time will be split.

I think Wynns will beat out Susac for the backup role. I do not think Buck has any intention of letting Sisco break camp with the team. Sisco and Susac start in AAA. That's my prediction. Not saying that is what I want. I'd like to see Sisco claim the starting job. Don't see it though.

I don't think Buck has final say on the 25 man roster.

      Who sits for Slater in Game One?

      I agree, McCann C is decision number one. After that, against a reverse split guy I think you just start your best overall players. However, O'Hearn has such poor splits vs LHP and so little experience I can't imagine they start him. Adley DH would allow Hyde to avoid the O'Hearn vs LHP decision. Kjerstad had hit lefties well but they gave him only 18 AB. That is a big ask of a rookie. Might be Adley if they think McCann makes Burnes better. Definite starters: Gunnar, Westburg, Santander, Mountcastle, Urias, Cowser Probable: Mullins Pick two: Adley, McCann, O'Hearn, Kjerstad

      Can Cowser still win Rookie of The Year over Gil/Wells ?

      What you said here is what I’ve been trying to convey.  OAA and dWAR aren’t intended to measure the same thing.   They shouldn’t be mentioned together.  If Fangraphs took its FRV and Positional stats and added them together, then divided that number by 10ish to convert it from runs to wins, you’d have a stat to compare to dWAR.

      I think Adley is the DH tomorrow.

      Nice job pointing out Ragans pitches better against righties than lefties: The Orioles put a heavy emphasis on the pitcher's splits over the hitter's split, so Mullins could very well start. Interestingly though, lefties BABIP was a unsustainable .345. Here's his pitch% and results against lefties this year. With this info, I think the Orioles very well may start Mullins instead of Slater. Now, will they start O'Hearn over Rivera at DH?

      Nope I wanna see the guy with the better defense. Just pointing out that Slater’s only “advantage” is another liability. Plus, Reagan’s is a reverse splits guy.

      The late season partial revival was enough for BAL to finish 3rd MLB-wide to the Judge/Soto team and the Shohei/Mookie/Freddie one. Split up those first two and put another year on everybody else, and I like our shot to go 1st some season soon. Park effects, it is notable the FG readout gives the Orioles with a 250/315/435 line a fraction of a point edge in the 115 wRC+ tie for 3rd and 4th with the Diamondbacks, who posted a 263/337/440 line. Don't be dull, October Orange Machine.

      Mullins has slashed .196/.228/.278/.506 against lefties this year. Slater has not had a great year overall and his September was terrible, but the Orioles really like platoon matchups. Plus, having Mullins speed and pop on the bench gives them options late in games.
