With Grenier promoted several weeks ago, Hall has just recently caught up to him in playing time at SS at Delmarva.   It’s interesting to compare their defensive numbers at Delmarva. at SS:

I would not be surprised if Grenier gets more of the playing time at SS while he's in Delmarva. I also would not be surprised of he's promoted as soon as he shows he's hitting well there since Frederi

Right, but it's always more fun to repeatedly beat on a front office that isn't even employed by the franchise any more instead of ever focus on something good that happened.

They won again and in insane circumstances with a walk off Grand Slam. Well done, I like teams that hate losing. Good group of players.

Last year the Shorebirds got off to an amazing start as well.    Then Baumann and Lowther got promoted in late May and they were just a so-so team after that.   So we’ll see if guys like Rodriguez and Knight and maybe Hall stick around.

I thought Grenier was the one that was going to get called up?  ?

Well, it’s too early to say that couldn’t happen*.   .744 OPS in 8 games even though his BA is only .233.     One good day and he could be over .800 OPS at this early stage.    But I definitely consider Hall to be a much better prospect than Grenier.

*I just realized you meant called up to the majors, not Frederick.   Yeah, that is not happening in 2019.

No, I meant Frederick.

Remember I'm really down on Grenier.

It would be an interesting development if the 20 year old Hall gets promoted before the 22 year old Grenier.

I think there’s a reasonable chance that happens.     Of course, the O’s may feel compelled to move Grenier faster due to his age.    

One can knock the O’s for choosing Grenier at 37, but by the same token, Hall at 60 (in 2017) is really looking like a good pick in that spot.    There’s only two drafted players in the Sally League who have a higher OPS and are the same age or younger than Hall:

Jonathan Omelas, 2018 3rd rounder, .988 OPS (born 5/26/2000).

Chris Seise, 2017 1st rounder, .890 OPS (born 1/6/99).

(Both, by the way, drafted by the Rangers.)

Hall was born 5/22/99 and has an .887 OPS.

 Needless to say, we’re talking about 8 games here.    But Hall was just incredibly hot the last month or so of last season, and it seems to be carrying over.

Neustrom = Ball Player. 

I'd like to hear a little more about his defensive profile.  Seems like the guy can hit.  Could be in for a May or June promotion to Frederick given his age (22) if he keeps hitting.

I am sensing Elias may fight that urge Frobby. If he uses the same mentality as the Cubs, he may keep the core of this team together and move them together as well.

      Coby Mayo 2024

      I agree, except for the 'gotta find a taker for Urias'.  We should NOT refuse to improve the team just because we can't unload Urias on someone.  Sure, I'd MUCH rather trade him and get some value for him.  But if no one wants him or isn't willing to give us anything for him, I'm not keeping Mayo in the minors just because I'm not willing to cut Urias.  Trade him IF we can, cut him if we must.  But let's get Mayo's bat in the lineup.

      I am not sure why the Orioles would make a trade for Luzardo in the next few weeks.  Luzardo has too many question marks regarding his ability to help the Orioles this year.   Any prospects dealt in the next few weeks should for players who can get the Orioles win the World Series this year.  If they strengthen the Orioles for 2025 and beyond, great.   If the Marlins will give up Luzardo for pennies on the dollar, then go get him.

      Re-visiting Luzardo

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      I think I may. When I originally made this post, I honestly didn’t realize he wasn’t going to be back until mid to late August. That really hurts the time frame for him to get his value up for the offseason. I mean, it could get higher imo, I’m not doubting that. But if it was at peak in the offseason and he’s 70 cents on the dollar now, how much will it go up after making 6-8 more starts? 80 cents on the dollar?  Does that increase warrant keeping him and risking that it doesn’t drop more? I don’t think the deal I offered is a slap in the face offer but I do think it’s an offer that has good but not great upside. How much you believe in Stowers and Norby obviously matters here. However, it gives them good depth, immediate ML help and several years of control.    But I could definitely see Miami wanting a better headliner and less quantity..I’m just doubtful they can get that unless they hold onto him for another year and hope he stays healthy and performs well. If he does, he can make back that trade value at that time. But, as we saw with cease, sometimes the risk just isn’t worth it and you have to take the best deal you can.

      Right.  SG wants to get a bargain.  Even if Luzardo’s arm falls off after the trade, he didn’t give up one player it hurts to part with.      No reason for the Marlins to sell low unless they think Luzardo never bounces back close to the 2023 level.
