I think he can handle either just fine. Just one play but you can see how quick his transfer and release are.

I don't know, maybe you should go look at the top prospect list from last year where we did that already? But hey, just keep asking Luke to do your homework.

Most people don’t believe the power, the first two leagues he played in were big time hitter’s leagues. He’s listed at 5”10” but is more like 5’ 7” but not even an average runner home to first and the

Bannon was one of the prospects Los Angeles sent to the O’s for Manny Machado. The diminutive infielder packs a surprising punch at the plate, with 50-grade raw power paired with above-average strikeout rates. He isn’t a true shortstop, but moves around the infield otherwise and is known as a high-energy gamer. This type of prospect bumps their head at the 3A/4A line sometimes—lacking the stick for an everyday role in the big leagues and unable to play a true center-diamond position—but Bannon’s sneaky pop and defensive versatility give the upside of a useful bench piece.

Not sure why this would be a surprise. He’s played 142 games with Bowie and the guys ahead of him at Norfolk are just warm bodies.

It is only surprising because Yusniel Diaz hasn't been promoted yet, having played 197 games at the AA level with better numbers. 

Both should be promoted.

Hopefully Diaz will be once he comes off the DL.

Unlikely, as he won't be on the 40-man roster. Wouldn't be surprised to see him on the MLB club by this time next year though.

I think it’s way to early to say he won’t be on the 40 man. I think that really depends on offseason moves and what he shows from here on through spring training.

If we can get something of value for Alberto in the offseason, Bannon could definitely get a spot on the 40.

There's no reason to put him on the 40 until you have to. If he makes the team out of spring, you would have to, but I don't see that happening unless he dominates in the last few weeks and then has a huge spring.

That is kinda the point I was trying to make. If he earns a spot on the major league roster, he'd be put on the 40. Not being on the 40 wouldn't be a reason to keep him off the roster.

SSS, but real nice start for Bannon in AAA.  15-45 at the plate, two doubles today, homered last night, OPS in the mid .800s.

Need him to start walking down there, but he could play himself into the conversation for 2020 with a good finish in Norfolk.  Still young, too.

      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.

      John Smoltz on why pitchers are "breaking" and what we should do about it..

      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.
