I agree with this. I hadn't looked at Severino's stats before last night's game, but what stood out is he is taking way more walks than he ever did in the past. Aside from the walks/OBP, he did hit like this while in AAA for the Nationals. 

With the Nats Severino walked in 8.9% of PAs.  With the O's it 10.0%. Small uptick.

With the Nats Severino had one brief, 33-game stint in AAA where he OPS'd .756.  His overall AAA OPS is .664.  His career minor league OPS is .642, and his career OPS as a pro, including this year, is .645.

Severino should get a full 1 WAR for tonight's game.

I think some of the reasons Jammer loves Severino are the same reasons why I also loved Melvin Mora. In 2003 when he briefly held the lead for batting average it felt like the first great moment

Kinda reminds me of Sandy Leon. Now Pedro is younger, but certainly signs point to him crashing back down, or becoming a huge outlier.

Hopefully he stays hitting well enough to be an attractive trade piece at the deadline.  Sell when the stock is high.

Yeah nothing in his minor league stats would indicate he is a good hitter.  But he has played well this year.  I will be rooting for him to keep it going while having realistic expectations going forward.

And if you're getting 200 AB as a backup catcher, those are 200 spread out ABs. Backup catchers have it the worst, they are never able to get on any kind of roll. 

He had plenty of at bats in the minors and he never got anything going there.

He's getting it going now! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yeah like I said I hope he continues to keep hitting like he has but his prior stats do not point to it.  He could be the unicorn we have been looking for.

I don't think unicorns would make for very good baseball players. Not sure their horns would pass the strict MLB bat restrictions. :)

I'd guess that big spikes like Severino's would most frequently be with catchers - because of all of the demands of the position.  it might not be until later in their careers that they have the time to focus on significant changes to their hitting approach.

I want to hear it. If we can trade a catcher for a legit return, I'm all for it. We are in a rebuild and we did just draft AR after all.

With that said, I think he'd have to rake through July to net a serious return this year. Anything mediocre and the offers will be next to nothing. I think it's more likely that he'd get a better return if he can be good through the full season. We can always hope. (well, Drungo can't, but the rest of us can. :) )

Severino 

1.222 OPS vs lefties

760 OPS vs righties

Severino will probably start most games vs lefties.  Sisco will see his action vs righties.   Severino probably will play vs  running teams and as a defensive replacement late in games.  That s my guess.   Probably they will be the duo from now until Adley arrives in 2021.

No one wants to hear this, but they really should be looking to trade Severino. 

Even if next years rotation includes Means, Bundy, Cobb, Akins, Lowther, Zimmerman and Wells?

The major problem with the current team is pitching.   Depending on who gets promoted from Bowie to Norfolk  in the 2nd half this season the pitching  could get better next season.  Not playoff better but player development better.

I agree that if some team is willing to over pay the O's have to listen to all offers.  But considering how many teams are going to be sellers in July the offers may not knock Elias over.

      Poll - Would you trade McDermott for Scherzer straight up?

      By emmett16 · Posted

      I don't like the idea of moving an arm we have under control for 6 years for an arm we would have under control for 3 months.  Especially since there are a ton of question marks on that arm of the 3 month rental.  I think McDermott could be a pretty special pitcher if things fall into place.  I'd hold on to that lottery ticket.  I'd look to move someone else at a position of redundancy.

      Grow the Bats? Grow the Arms? Both? Neither?

      I thought you were talking about possible selections a team could have made.  For example, the Nats could have taken Harper and Realmuto.  Or the Orioles could have had Machado and Realmuto.  Now I see what you are saying though.  You are saying the Orioles had the best draft of the past 20 years and that draft was heavy in good position players so it was smart for them to take that tact.  At first, I thought you were arguing the Orioles got lucky because the 2019 draft was particularly strong and in no draft of the past 20 years could one team have gotten two players of the caliber of Adley and Gunnar at the positions that the Orioles chose.

      I completely agree with this.  Most of this damage has already been done.  Travel teams have ruined many kids and have left others far more susceptible to injury in the minors and majors.

      Do Jon Miller and/or Gary Thorne belong in the Orioles Hall of Fame?

      I only heard Mel Proctor when he was working the Rangers games, and I really liked him. I don’t remember whether he worked with Dick Risenhoover or Mark Holtz, but I think he worked with Mark Holtz, although he was on his own for a little while, but I really liked him.

      Just getting caught up here, so my first reaction to trading JW is NOOOOOO! However, I think most people around baseball would have to agree that he's a dude. He's become my favorite Oriole just because of his approach at the plate and also his workman-like attitude. Leaving out my preferences and putting on my front office hat I have to admit he would be attractive to other teams for his ability to play three positions in the IF and his steady performance with the bat. And unlike Holliday, he's proven himself.  While Holliday is the more high profile guy to other teams I'm not sure he's seen as more valuable. JW can play SS-has the arm for it-and he's versatile. I think Holliday could learn to play 2B but has neither the arm for 3B or SS. He likely has more range and as earlier stated by another poster, some team may want to try him at SS. Maybe that works, maybe it doesn't.  I feel like I'm making the case to keep JW and trade JH. Back to the question, which guy gets the Orioles what they need to be the favorite going into the playoffs? Number one pick or a guy who's a ML starter right now? Let's set that aside, maybe it's either one. Can either of them get us Skubal in the right package? Yes. That's the guy who IS a ML pitcher and who will move the needle. What's the package? Elias has earned some level of baseball knowledge with the Burnes trade and the trade that sent Bundy to the Angels when Elias first arrived. That one was even more evidence of his ability to read the tea leaves. So, I trust he'll make it work. I may not like the immediate results (i.e. trading Westy or Kjerstad), but if he can get Skubal in the right deal I'd make the deal. But Scherzer is a good back up and won't cost nearly as much.

      39 Yacqui Rivera - he was the PTBNL in the Scott/Sulser deal along with the comp pick.  Juan Nunez - he was the 3rd piece in the Jorge Lopez trade with the Twins along with Povich/Cano/4th piece
