He is out of options out of this year , correct?  Then he should be brought up as soon as he is ready.  No service time issues to deal with as he already has time in the majors.

According to rosterresource.com he has 2 options remaining.

https://www.rosterresource.com/mlb-baltimore-orioles

That website is confusing because it does not include the current season on its "options remaining" list. He was optioned in 2018 and 2019. He was not optioned in 2017, he was added to the 40-man roster in September and remained on the team for the remainder of that season. Thus he has one option year remaining and can be optioned in 2020 if necessary.

There are always extremes on each side of these debates. I don't think there is any reason to bring him to Baltimore until he proves he can hit AAA pitching consistently. I always didn't see any reason to put him in AA (unless it was for rehab) after playing parts of two seasons there and showing he could more than hold his own there, especially when healthy. I hope he puts together three good months and is ready to play in Baltimore in 2020.

I’ve noticed he’s been playing in CF a lot.  7 of 9 games at Frederick, 2 of 6 at Bowie, 1 of 1 at Norfolk.   So, 10 of 16 overall.    

I’m all for it. Let’s see if he can be an average defensive CF. If so, that would have a ton of value for us, especially since it’s looking unlikely that Mullins will be a big league regular. Would help unclog the COF positions, too.

A second half outfield of Hays in CF, DJ Stewart in LF, and Santander in RF could be fun to watch.  

I'm all for that. I'd like to see Mancini as the everyday 1B (if not traded) as well. With struggles of Diaz and McKenna as well as Mullins issues to start the year, I think it opens the door for guys like Stewart and Santander for more than just this year and the start of next if they can show something. I like the idea of having Diaz, McKenna, Mullins, Stewart, Santander, and Hays all vying for spots in 2020 and 2021. I think it's good to see some guys now so all can be evaluated at the MLB level in the next couple of years and we can really see who can stick.

      The discussion about Cle vs NYY is interesting. The Os always struggle at Cle and their BP is awesome but the starters are meh and so is the offense.

      Winter 2024 40-Man Additions

      By Jammer7 · Posted

      Bautista, if he is back to his old self, would be a big addition. Dominguez and Soto have to improve the walk rate. They certainly have swing and miss, but at a significant cost. Cano can throw up in the zone and get misses, but he is used so often he is rarely sharp. He is used to induce ground balls, and the sinker is fairly effective when he is tired.  Akin, Webb and Coulombe are getting some swing and miss. They are all above average in swinging strike percentage, according to FanGraphs. MLB average is generally around 11.2% from year to year, and Akin (second on the Orioles behind Grayson 13.6) is at 13.2, Dominguez 12.4, Cano 12.2, Soto 12.9, Webb 11.8, Coulombe is 9.9 and Cionel 9.5. In fairness to Coulombe (11.8) and Webb (13.7), they are higher over the last three years. They have not been healthy for a fair amount of this season and pitched through some things that made those numbers dip, perhaps.  Bautista was 18% in the same period of 2022-2024. He would be 11th in MLB in 2024. No other Oriole is in the top 100 in MLB. Grayson Rodriguez is at #120. It should be noted that Andrew Walters is at 18.8, ranking 7th. He was our unsigned 18th round pick in 2022. All of that aside, I am not sure the pen is structured the same as in recent years. There may be some moves there. Or, perhaps it is like you wrote, and they focus on Soto and Dominguez making adjustments to having more command, decreasing the walks. Those two are getting a little expensive as well. I guess we’ll see.

      How much different? They sat Judge yesterday, they threw their playoff starters for 5+ innings yesterday and today. They are also playing for the best record in the AL. They aren't mailing it in.

      2024 Playoff ticket availability

      By KojiSplit · Posted

      It’s not just the O’s. I’ve checked the Dodgers who have similar prices and they have a lot of upper deck NLDS games 2 & 3 available. Same for the NLCS. yanks still have seats available also. — In general, I’m sure alot of fans are just gonna wait till the day of to grab tickets.

      That makes no sense. If they had to win their current series would have looked much different.

      I agree. You have to wonder if the Yankees are behind him getting hit. Perhaps the ghost of George has struck
