Yeah this is getting silly. He's starting to feel like the Hunter Harvey of position players. That said, it could totally be a cramp who knows. 

I think the Hunter Harvey comparisons are a little hysterical. Harvey barely played over a four year period.   Hays has missed a good bit of time, but he’s been on the field more than he’s been off it over the years.

I saw Hayes' speed Thursday at Durham.  He took off for second on a 3-2 pitch and did a full slide.  The catcher threw despite it being ball four, but neither infielder covered the bag.  Hayes got up,

He’s ready?    He’s never played AAA, has a .604 OPS in an A+ rehab assignment right now, and had a .703 OPS in AA last year.    In his only major league stint, he had a .555 OPS.     That screams “re

Yeah, I'm not sure I buy the "precautionary measure" stuff. Roch "hears" lots of stuff. Bottom line is he was legging out a ground ball, came up limping past the bag and clutching the back of his leg. That's now "precautionary measures", really? Sounds like an injury to me. Every time I've seen that during games, it's been an injury of some degree. Hopefully, it's not that serious, but spare me the "precautionary measures" stuff. I'd be shocked if that was an accurate assessment of the situation. We'll see. Anything is possible, but based on the initial report of what happened to Hays, does not seem likely.

Even if this is an injury, I'm not ready to compare him to Harvey just yet though.

I will be surprised if the “precautionary measures” don’t keep Hays out of the lineup for at least a few days.   But let’s hope no more than that.

Obviously we have to wait and see a bit and see how he responds to treatment. I may have just tweaked his hammy vs pulling it. Saying that, Hays doesn't exactly have a stellar record of healing quick so we'll have to see.

While it's waaayyy too early to start getting all upset and developing comparisons, it is fair to point out that he's lost a decent amount of time to injuries since being a pro. 

So far he doesn't get high marks for durability and though that can change since injuries have not been reoccurring types. So far he's had a wrist sprain, ankle surgery, fractured finger, and now a hammy. I don't know whether this is a good thing or not, but at the end of the day, he needs to find a way to keep himself healthy and on the field.

How do you tweak someone else's hammy?????

As to the injuries, I fear we may have another Reimold.

      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.

      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.
