Why?

if a guy is bad over a long time, he’s just bad.

he can start in the minors but not at the MLB level.

Bad one season in AAA.  Not bad over a long time.  I want him to do it at the major league level but you're way overstating your case, atomic.

He's been basically overmatched since AA. A high K rate with little power is a classic example of a guy who just doesn't have the bat speed to hit at the major league level. Chance Sisco AAA Slas

Honestly, Tony, you sound a bit defensive (no pun intended) in this post and a few others in this thread.   I didn’t see this game, and I will acknowledge your point that Sisco has a poor arm and his

Tony - I probably should know better than to insert myself into a dispute between you and another poster.    I don’t know anything about past debates between you and MurphDogg.   But after he com

He was bad in 1 season in Norfolk and downright awful in 1 season of Norfolk/Baltimore.

His Spring Training right now is giving him a huge advantage in the offensive category for the 25 man roster, but his regular season is key. Same with everyone else.

Wow, 3 in three official at bats, 7 RBI.    That will get your attention.   

I am happy for him, but if we cant be happy for Wright and his production in 4 innings, the same applies to Chance.

The question here, is, we know he can bat, but his play behind the plate was below average and thats not going to cut it.

If -.2 WAR is awful and 0. WAR is replacement that leaves -.1 for bad?

I think you are exaggerating his difficulties just a tad.

It would be kind of poetic if part of Hyde's opening act is getting a lot from Sisco by making him feel comfortable after the story that Buck stopped Wieters-hazing in his early days as skipper.

For any roto-heads out there, I have an option to keep Sisco for $5 in my AL-only.  This was an easy no until about today.  March 1 is keeper declaration day.

He put up a .736 OPS in 2017 as a 22 year old in Norfolk - a difficult place to hit.  I wouldn't call that bad.  He only had 150 at bats their last year.  

He obviously struggled significantly in his limited time in Baltimore last year.  I think there is some hope for him based on how good he was the rest of his minor league career.  

Perhaps he has made some serious adjustments and will be a break out player for us this season.  Not counting on it, but not writing him off based on a lousy 2018.

How deep are the rosters, and how many teams?

      Various Org Leaders for 2024

      By Jim'sKid26 · Posted

      The fact that Justin Armbruester led all Orioles minor league pitcher with just 119.1 is pathetic! The pitching development guys are babying the SPs. This is emblematic of a philosophy that is destined to fail. Guys need to pitch to get better. Guys need to learn to get hitters out the second or third time through the order. I think this is a combination of a bad philosophy and not drafting SP talent in the early rounds. Broken system.

      The wall was yet another case, in the case of many’s. Where Elias thought he was smarter than everybody  and decided to make hitting homers to left field almost impossible and so in his “genius”he only drafted left-handed hitters. Hence, we have trouble hitting left handers ( the only good thing that came of this is they got Gunner Henderson Earlier than anybody else was willing to draft him. ) No right handed batter would sign  here ever unless it was an extreme overpay. I have hated that wall from day one and I don’t think it lasts much longer. Once they start doing the major renovations, I guarantee it comes in maybe not the extent of what it was before maybe  but it’s coming in.

      Elias: It's on me

      By Pickles · Posted

      And that's fine. I'm not trying to pick on you, because there are literally dozens of posts I could have responded to but didn't, but it seems to me a lot of people are asking for contradictory things.

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Something that was an open question during much of the year was if Burnes' line about not trying for strikeouts was BS. Broadly I think he gave the market evidence in the end game that he is a master craftsman, and of course 30 year old pitchers have to regulate intensity to complete the season. The 2021 season was just weird.     At ages 25-26, he got most of a year off, and then he got babied like basically every pitcher in the world in Year 1 after COVID. In 2022 they pushed him for more, and the per-batter effectiveness eroded, setting up that notable 2023 Arbitration hearing that helped make him a 2024 Oriole. A GM wanting his services....don't nitpick.    There will be bidders. Unless Rubenstein is planning for three or more mega contracts at the end of the decade, I think there are places it makes more sense to go.

      How does Povich fit into your 2025 plans?

      By Pickles · Posted

      It only takes 2 arms if you'd have him in the rotation over Suarez. Personally, I'd have Suarez in the rotation over him going in to next year as things stand now.

      I feel like they did it because our pitching sucked. Now it doesn't suck, so let's split the difference. I think it would be a mistake to go into 2025 with the current park dimensions.
