How many of those players are out of baseball, or almost out of baseball?  Everyone except for Manny, Schoop, and Mancini.  I don't see Jones lasting much longer.  

Beckham is in Seattle’s OD lineup. Jones is starting for Az, and Caleb will be up soon. The DBacks are carrying three catchers for some reason but Caleb will see time with the big club.

I don't see how this lineup, despite its anonymity, is anything but refreshing.

Meh. It's a big step forward IMO. You will not rain on my parade this day, friend!

I'm excited to see the new faces. I really didn't watch much last year and I didn't catch any Spring Training since I was busy with classes. It's a new era today. I'm not expecting much this season but I'm happy because baseball is back which means warmer weather and there's no sport I love talking about more than baseball.

I just saw Beckham had made SEA, pretty sure he signed a milb deal.  So really close to not being a MLBer.  Just think about the whole set of position players from last year's OD roster.  Even Rasmus, Valencia, and Trumbo aren't in the MLB.  Sisco is in the minors.  So only Machado, Schoop, Jones, Beckham, Mancini, and Rickard, made 2019 OD roster.  7/13 position players did not.

No argument there. Last year’s team was a total fiasco, and part of my fury at Dan(yes, still an idiot) and Buck and whomever else was responsible is that it was so avoidable. You’ve got to work really hard to have a team as bad and as inflexible as that one was.

I think Jackson should play vs LHP, whether that is spelling Ruiz, Smith, Mullins, or Davis. Lots of options but he should be in the game somehow.

I would be surprised if Jackson isn't the platoon for Mullins this year. It's a good way to give him ABs.

Trumbo would have made it if he wasn't on the DL.  Whether he and Davis deserve to start on a MLB roster is another matter.

Last year's OD lineup:

Chris Davis - 1B
Manny Machado - SS
Jonathan Schoop - 2B
Adam Jones - CF
Trey Mancini - LF
Tim Beckham - 3B
Pedro Alvarez - DH
Craig Gentry - RF
Caleb Joseph - C

 

The last three batters are now in the minor leagues.

Only two players make an appearance on this year's OD lineup. 

Ah yes, the Chris Davis leadoff experiment. It's a miracle we even won 47 games.

I'm a little surprised that people would have issues with Mullins being at the top of the lineup. First off, it's not like Hyde has a ton of great options. Second, why not? He may ultimately be a lower order platoon or 4th outfielder, but I think too many people are burying him because of a bad batting average this spring and his cold September.

      Orioles #30 Prospect Brandon Young - RHP

      By now · Posted

      Now overall I notice 29 K's in 17 innings. That ratio of 1.7 is top of the line for a starter!

      Urias looks pretty cooked too though, and he's not providing the kind of defensive flexibility that Mateo is, and he doesn't have very good splits for platooning.  At least for 2023 and 2024 Mateo has had good platoon splits.

      SSS but Holliday was playing incredible defense after like the first game or two when he seemed to have some jitters.  He had +3 OAA in a very short span.  Mateo has looked a little awkward at 2nd to be honest, and he's not the best at making the double play turn.

      Hoping for a speedy recovery. That all happened fast. Not my initial impression reading the write up.

      Is it time to upgrade over Urias and McCann?

      By Hallas · Posted

      McCann looks cooked but he's in his last year and our options at backup C aren't great unless we're willing to trade for one.  But I'm not giving up a lot for a backup C.   I'd like to find a replacement for Urias.  He didn't look great last year and he's being thrust into a role that he's not really cut out for right now.  I don't think he's getting the 2022 magic back.  Maybe Westburg can go to 3rd full time and one of our 5 AAA 2nd basemen can work in with Mateo at 2nd.

      I quoted myself, because I wanted to share something with you all.  I have memory issues.  Nothing full blown or anything, but I don't recall things nearly as well as I once did.  I mention this because it occurred to me that I posted a very similar thing about McCann last year, and he performed notably better in the 2nd half.  At least I believe so.   It's not that I feel I'm exactly wrong about McCann, but rather that he showed himself to be better just last season and could do so again.  I hope so. Memory issues are nothing to be ashamed of, though I'd be pretending if it didn't bother me.  I've been dealing with this for maybe five years or so, though it gets worse every year.  At 59, that's younger than most that have such issues.   I'm sure in a forum as populated as this one, there could be others going through what I am.  It is what it is... it's life, and I hope you're all doing your best with it.

      Estrada and Tejada both continued their recent surges today.  Estrada was 2 for 4 with a double, while Tejada was 3 for 3  with a homer.  Tejada has his OPS up to .737, not bad for a league where .654 is average.  Estrada is at .628 and climbing.
