Wright making a case for being on the 25 man roster by his production:

 

I know a lot of people dont want to see Wright anywhere near the Orioles roster.  A lot of people also have expectations that a player is going to be a finished product right away.  What we heard 3 years ago was wright had the tools to be a dominate back of the bullpen guy.  I am not going to say 4 innings in ST shows he has become that, but he is definitely a guy you cant dismiss out of frustration with the process.

Maybe fresh blood and different coaches is the difference Wright needed. Yes, 4 innings is a short sample size, especially ST innings.

This is a lot of work. Thanks!

You are welcome. The plan is to keep this up after every game or two this spring. Hopefully people are enjoying it and using it. Didn't get a lot of feedback from reactions which is how I usually tell if people like something or not, so still not sure about it overall. Still, it actually helps me keep informed so it's a win-win either way.

Dillon Tate and Gabriel Ynoa have had some action since 2/1 FWIW.

Yeah, they are scheduled to pitched today I believe and will fill them in. neither has any real chance of making the team so I really haven't focused on them.

Yes - I got that from your writeup - thanks for that!  That was a great read!

    • Starting point has changed.  Given the fact he has approx 1/7th of his season in the books at 1.139, to OPS just .780 for the season, he'd have to drop off to under .730 the rest of the way.  That sort of drop off wouldn't be acceptable to me. I'd like him to OPS .800 the rest of the way for roughly .850 for the season.  The more they use him in a platoon role, the better I think that number might be.
    • Can I ask how you timed it vs the DVR?  Did you use a stopwatch or count click with pause/FF, or something else?
    • I can’t fathom why anyone would want a Tanner Scott return. In 10 innings, he is 0-4 with a 1.78 whip. He was maddening before, and now he’s older. But I wonder if the Red Sox would part with Justin Slaten? He’s been pretty outstanding. Yeah, only 8 innings, but we hired Yohan Ramirez, and he’s been a catastrophe in 10. Yes, I know he’s a rule 5, and the Bosox are in the East. And their pitching is pretty thin, too. But they know they aren’t going anywhere in this division, and they might think getting a good return for a Free Rule 5 guy might be worthwhile.
    • This draft unfolded weirdly.  First with the *nix guys getting taken early and then how no defensive players got taken all draft, and then a bunch of teams reaching for OTs.  I'm pretty happy with how the draft unfolded because I think we got a player that I expected to be gone by the teens or early 20s.  I don't know what we're doing with our OL but hopefully we can maybe trade up from 62 to pick someone up.
    • I have it on dvr and I timed it four times. I got 10.75, 10.80, 10.74, and 10.78.
    • This is exactly what EDC said tonight     
    • My guess is more of a safety profile than they preferred. They clearly wanted Wiggins. They ran that pick up fast. And then when you listen to the press conference, the love for the player was obvious.
