and he says that he can't wait to be an Oriole. He told me that he is extremely excited, and that he can't wait to get started. He also told me that he is working out right now to stay prepared.

I also asked him about the contract situation, and he told me that he is very confident that the deal will be completed soon. I told him to hurry up, because we need him badly. I'm going to try to get him to join Oriole Hangout soon as well. That would be cool.

I'm also going to try to get Nolan Reimold to join as well. There are other Oriole Minor Leaguers I'm going to try to get to join as well like:

Kyle Hudson

Caleb Joseph

Bobby Bundy

Xavier Avery

L.J. Hoes

They were drafted last month. And they are really nice guys.

We'll see how it goes. I don't how many of you actually care if they join, but if you do, let me know. I'll keep you posted.

I'm sure it was 'myspace' or 'facebook'.

Even though the criticisms stay somewhat respectful on OH, it might be a bit much for some of these kids to read the full spectrum of 'message board posts' about themselves when they go through struggles.

I was just thinking the same thing. Maybe it's not such a good idea to have them join the hangout ;)

With Tony's blessing, it would be nice to set up a special chat section and have weekly chat sessions with the registered players. It would add a nice element to the board and perhaps give us all a better insight what these guys face on a daily basis:)

We're working on stuff like this. The Hangout is going to do some growing in the near future. We appreciate the input!!!

On a related note...keep in mind we have beat writers who cover the Keys and Baysox every home game, Tony does plenty of roving, and I've been hitting an Ironbirds game at least once per homestand. Mike Miller (Bowie) offered at the beginning of the season to pass along questions from the message boards to players and I doubt Adam would mind doing the same. It goes for me as well.

Don't hesitate to pass along player questions to me whenever they arise. I'd like to make things in Bowie as interactive as possible, not to mention I pretty much live at Prince George's Stadium (I'm thinking about taking over a luxury suite and converting it into an apartment). Send me a PM here on the boards or an email at mikemiller1287@yahoo.com .

Also, you'd be surprised just how many players do in fact read the Hangout.

He lives on the west coast. So it was like 2:30am (for him) when we were talking. Trust me. I'm not making this stuff up. I would come up with alot better stuff if I were. :)

I'll talk to Phil and Brian and put in a good word for you. There used to be a cot hidden in the press box but when they actually started getting radio coverage in there it disappeared ;)

Question for Weiters......

Its been said that you didnt call your own games in college. Tell us about learning to call games professionally. Who is helping you with this process?

      Sorry to derail the thread. I was having a crap day yesterday when I took it out here. I appreciate the words of support.

      I like this idea.  Maybe he's not ALWAYS the closer, but he has the stuff to be a very good high-leverage guy.

      2023 Top 75 Prospects

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      Bucce is one of those guys that finally hit a little bit last year, but didn't get a ton of playing time overall and 20Ks in just 74 PA gives me pause when it doesn't come with any real power. He'll have to make Delmarva next year and we'll see how he does. Anderson DeLos Santos is still a bit interesting and I actually wrote up a quick bio for him before I knocked him off the list: Only 19-years old last season at Delmarva, Del Los Santos didn’t put up all that impressive of numbers including a 104-31 K-BB ratio in 421 PAs. But he has a little pop in the bat and although he made a few too many errors, shows some athleticism at 3B. Probably will need to repeat Delmarva next year at 20-years old but has some tools to work from and worth keeping an eye on. Same thing with Heid: Put up good numbers at AA holding batters to a .185/.280/.265/.545 slash line mostly at Aberdeen. Got a late season callup to Bowie but at 25 years old, he's long in the tooth for a prospect. He's a 91-93 MPH guy with so decent carry and his slider flashes average on occasion wit good depth. The stuff just doesn't suggest he's going to have success at the major league level though. I also did Kade Strowd who got bumped at the end. Kade Strowd: Fastball slider pitcher that sat 94-96 but who can flash 97-98 on occasion. The slider has high spin and late break and can give minor league right-handed hitters fits, but he doesn't have much to defend himself against lefties and his command wavers too often. As for Heid, the stats say he's worth watching, but the age and stuff go "eh". Can't rule him out, but I didn't see anything that suggested major league stuff.

      Robertson on a 1yr/10mil deal seems about the most we can afford. If that’s all we have to spend then I hope we trade for Quintana and put Wells at closer.

      Elias has said he would like someone with closers experience. Not really sure why that matters. I also think they only want a one year option at closer. I get that they expressed interest in Hader, if that’s true, but that really means nothing with this team.

      He’s a possibility as well.
