If he plays well through July, any chance they try to flip him for future prospect lottery tickets or is he "part of the future"?

I don't think he will have accumulated much value.

Bravo, newbie.  Bravo.

But what if he goes like one for nine?  Wouldn't that prove he can't hack it in the majors?

I was at a game five years ago, Memorial Day.  Random guy sitting next to me notices that recently-recalled Caleb Joseph is 2-for-29.  He goes on for what seems like an hour about how he can see a GM putting up with, like, 1-for-7 or maybe 1-for-9.  Everybody has to adjust.  But Duquette should be looking for a new job if you let a slump get to 2-for-20, much less 2-for-29.

I now realize that I've met wildcard.

You have always underrated Stewart.     I’d prefer him in LF, but from reports I’ve seen he’s an upgrade to Smith or Mancini defensively.    

I don't know, how should I rate a COF prospect with below average speed/range and an arm that couldn't throw a hand grenade thru a pane glass window from 100 feet.

Another guy to get his ML chance with the 2019 O's but like Smith Jr. , Nunez, etc. he is not a ML regular.

Why do the O's have an entire system full of DH/1B types? That was the old incompetent regime right? I hope so.

I think that's what they're trying to evaluate before the "better" prospects get here. I think he has a chance to be a cheap piece for a few years if nothing else. He may end up being a trade piece, just not this year.

Would you say Villar has below average speed?

You know that per 150 professional games Stewart averages 21 steals, six caught, 3-4 triples, and nine outfield assists?  Doesn't sound like Sam Horn or Larry Sheets to me.

I tend to bite on those if I don't know the poster is joking, because most of the time they aren't.

I'm just assuming from here on out.

When I think of slow baserunners Matt Wieters is the first player that comes to mind.

He was 41st out of 74 last season so I guess that makes him slow.

Or you know, pretty average.

Trey was 59th and Smith was 65th.

Stewart is starting in RF tonight, batting 6th.
