Well, with the Orioles being officially eliminated from getting the AL East title, let's look back at this season for the good thing...

Getting to see the kids called up!

Who has been your favorite call up(s), who has impressed you, who exceeded your expectations? You don't have to limit it to just 1 player.

I'll put my thoughts into the ones I voted for a bit later today.

Nunez is slashing .286/.338/.460/.799 (OPS+ 120) in 18 games with the O's. He's only 24. If he continues to hit and his fielding improves, he could at least hold down 3B until there's a better option. Or, he could be the option.

 

I hadn't realized he was hitting so we'll. Good stuff.

I voted for Wynns, Fry, Wilkerson, and Mullins.

I think people know why I like Wynns, but he has also done a lot better than I thought he would, as far as hitting. Also, 5 for 11 caught stealing (where it should be atleast 7 for 11 if Nunez and Beckham learn to catch a throw) is pretty good.

Fry has been a favorite since Bowie and I'm glad he got a chance and has done well. He has his ups and downs like a rookie, but he seems to have had the best showing out of the rookie pitchers so far. Also, who doesn't love the "Players Choice" jersey name?

Wilkerson is another favorite, this time since Frederick. His injury came at a bad time (not that there ever is a good time for that), as he could of built on that good game he had. His glove seems to have come as advertised. The bat started to do a bit. Can't wait for him to come back and really get a shot.

Mullins is just awesome. A shy dude who always has a giant smile, it was great seeing him in Bowie and getting to chat with him a bunch. Setting an Orioles record in his debut was awesome. If you only read stories about him or seem clips here and there, you are in for a real treat once he gets a little settled in.

Mullins has been a treat to watch.  Now let's see how the board acts when he goes through his first 0-20 strech.

That said, he looks good.  The way he turned on that inside fastball for his first hit was awesome.  Real quick bat.

I voted for Mullins because he's obvious, but I kinda like Yefry Ramirez.  I am not sure why.

    • I have no idea why any team would want more than 1 philosophy across the board, especially a young team. Possibly a player's demands or contract calls for his own hitting coach.. but I stand by my wish.
    • At cost considerations there is 2 players i'd rather have listed in that article over Crochet, Helsley leading that. Also Mountcastle to the Reds for a SP makes a lot of sense also. 
    • Guilty. I'm working to be intentional to enjoy the day to day of a lot of exciting careers beginning, and not miss the moment as during say Peyton Manning's career in a different chapter of life when assured 14-2 or 13-3 seasons were four months of boredom while you waited to see what the playoff stumble would be this time.    SIGBOT's stuff works in the regular season same as Billy Beane's didn't in the playoffs. I don't follow Over/Unders, but would guess the 2025 Orioles are 1st or 2nd in the AL on early action.    My informal AL power rankings end of 2024: 1. A nonexistent Orioles team with a functional Adley Rutschman 2. Yankees with Soto 3. Tie between actual Orioles with broken Adley and end stage Astros that lost several series to hot Central teams 4. Yankees without Soto 5. Central I'm cheating Cleveland there for a joke, and hope they win, which they are plenty capable of doing.    It is an interesting matchup for the stuff the two teams are good at being very different.
    • I don't see the O's trading Mullins without getting a replacement for him from somewhere.  It's doubtful we have anyone in the minors yet ready to step in for him.  Maybe the same for Urias since he's the perfect backup infielder.  I think Mateo and Mountcastle are more likely to be traded.
    • I was clearly talking about the AL...
    • You mean like how the Os dealt guys like Hays, Stowers and Norby?  Yea, guys who are good depth but guys we can stand to trade are guys I want to trade….and obviously Elias feels similarly. These guys carry value. The level of value depends on the player and you can debate the value of return but yes, you absolutely should trade out of depth and trade guys that perhaps that don’t match your team philosophies.  That’s what teams do.
    • Who knows.  Lots of possibilities. There could be another trade like the Hays trade.  Or maybe you can get a ML ready arm that profiles as a high end reliever. I don’t think that you will get a proven lock down guy but that doesn’t mean you can’t get someone that will end up a big contributor.
