I think the O's management want to see Ortiz with the O's in September.

Yeah, maybe.    He’s only thrown 94 innings, so he should have a little gas in the tank if the O’s want to have a look.

One factor is the minor league playoffs.  I know that's not the ultimate goal of any organization but this time of year they are very conscious about trying to give those affiliates - and especially those players that have worked all year to be in that position - a chance to compete in the playoffs.  

I would like to see Means get a shot in September, but given his innings I doubt that's going to happen.  I suspect Rogers will stay up and occupy the fifth starter spot for a little bit.

First sentence of the OP.   "Maybe not all at once, but sometime during the month."

They had a funny way of showing that last season with Hays. Yanked him from Bowie the day before their playoffs started and sat him on the bench...

As far as the original poster...

Yacabonis, Means, and Kline are ones I really do not see coming up due to innings limit. Kline especially.

Cervenka *might* go on the 40 in the fall/winter, but they won't have 4 catchers up in September. They will also probably look at keeping Caleb on a minor league deal because you want a veteran.

If Araujo is healthy, then yes. But if they want to rest him, they have the option of sending him to the Arizona Fall League.

I'm not sure about Lee. He responded decently, but will need to prove himself in the Spring.

I agree about Yaz, he has been the second best outfielder in Norfolk this season (behind the other one you mentioned, Joey Rickard.) If they are auditioning for spots, I want to see what he can do in the majors. He might just be AAA/AAAA quality, but find out. If he sticks, great. If not, you aren't really losing anything.

I agree with the rest of the list. The only other one I would be questionable on is Flaa. Might want to give him a small break and send him to the AFL.

Look at the OP and tell me who you are worried about starting the ML clock on.

Fair point.  I don't have a problem at all with the idea, but I'd caution that some of the pitchers may be near their limits...(I did not check)

We are not taking about bringing up Manny or Mussina here.  And while I think Ortiz is one id maybe not start the clock on, I think you also pointed out that he has to be on the 40 this winter anyway.

Kline is going to be 27 next month and he has thrown 63 innings this year.

Sounds like the O's are about ready to shut Rogers down for the season.   That is even more reason to promote Ortiz.

I am sure the Orioles have a good idea on whom they will be promoting soon.

I think us fans, wish they would tell us more information.

Sounds like there are lots of injury concerns/innings limits in play with these arms. Which is a good thing because they’ve made it through the season healthy. 

I just don’t see where these guys are going to play. Buck seems pretty adamant with his lineup. We’re going to have to DFA Gentry to keep Buck from playing him. At this point, I just want to see Hays, Mountcastle, and Diaz up.

Mountcastle and Diaz do not have to be added to the 40 man roster to be protected from the Rule 5 draft.   I doubt they are called up this season.   They will use those spots to protect other players IMO.

      2024 Week 6: Ravens vs Commanders

      By Baseball fandom · Posted

      I really hope the Ravens win this one. I hate all Washington teams and always root for them to lose but especially if they are playing Baltimore teams

      Offseason Trade Pondering

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      I really don’t see the point of trading Mullins, or even Mountcastle for a reliever. We need Mullins definitely, especially with Santander being a FA.  What good is a reliever if you can’t get a lead?  I just don’t like trading everyday players for relievers, especially when we have a good looking pen next year pre deadline, and what reliever would Mounty/Mullins even buy. Would that reliever even be an upgrade over what we already have? At this point, I’m thinking Mounty goes for some sort of RHH COF.

      Grade the Eflin Trade

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      We couldn’t have asked for more from the Eflin deal than what we got. 9 starts that kept the rotation afloat to even make the playoffs. Then a “good” playoff start in an elimination game where we had the luxury of going to the pen fast.  It’s always tough giving up prospects, but Eflin did exactly what we needed him to do post deadline.

      Co-hitting coach Ryan Fuller, Fredi Gonzalez and Jose Hernandez let go

      By SilverRocket · Posted

      There should be one philosophy, and that's what the O's claimed to have. There's just a lot more work to coaching 13 hitters (plus callups) than one person can do. Going through video, coordinating with the data folks, developing a plan, all that stuff. Only so many hours in the day.

      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.

      Would you say that the Tigers rebuild is more successful than the O's?

      By Just Regular · Posted

      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.
