Very good news.

At this point it looks like the Orioles starting CF job in 2020 is just sitting on a platter for this guy if he could just STAY HEALTHY.  Hope he can get healthy and have a good second half so we can start 2020 with an outfield of Mountcastle, Hays, Santander / Diaz.

I think it's a bit early to anoint Mountcastle an outfielder.

It's wishful thinking, Hay's being healthy and proving ready to start in CF is also a bit wishful at this time.

Yeah, it looks more like a Norfolk outfield of Hays, Mullins and Diaz to open the 2020 season.

I expect Díaz will be promoted mid season and compete for a job out of ST.

I think all three will compete for a job - just not confident any will win one.

Hays is playing a rehab game tonight in Aberdeen, and homered in his second at bat.

Hays had 2 homers and a double down in Aberdeen.    Went 0 for 4 today but had a walk and a HBP and scored the winning run in the 13th inning.

Good news.  Hopefully he can get it going in AAA.

McKenna will be there too. Mullins’ 40 man spot might be in jeopardy. Which I think is hilarious to always mention; because we could DFA 10 of the pitchers on our 40 man and they’d go unclaimed, or who even cares if we lose them?

I just want Hays to be healthy. It’s getting Reimold/Harvey-ish

[orioles22]

I hope you're right about McKenna. He has started to heat up since I wrote that.

I agree about having lots of pitchers we could lose without hurting anything.

3 extra base hits and 5 RBI's leading off tonight as Norfolk has rallied to take a 10-9 lead after being way down to Durham early.

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, didn't even slow at third and made it home easily before the ball came in.
