Yes.

Similar career arc in center.

I don’t think prime Hays will be as good defensively as prime Jones.   And I say that realizing that prime Jones was overrated.  

By the way, I took a look at Hays’ sprint speed from his 2017 call-up — 28.9 ft/sec.    That’s faster than I would have guessed, and fast enough for CF.

This from MLB Pipeline:

 

Hays has played all three outfield positions as a pro, but profiles best in right field because he has average speed and range as well as plus arm strength. He will need to hit for average and power to hold down the position in the big leagues, and the Orioles are confident that a fully healthy Hays will be able to get back on track toward reaching his potential in 2019.

Hays is in right tonight and I think Diaz is in center - wonder if that could be the combination.

They like moving these guys around in the minors.  From what I've seen they prefer Hays in center and Diaz in right.  I think Hays has a little more range and his arm is also a little stronger.  Both can be plus defenders in the corners.

That's true about moving around. It sounds like both have very good arms.

I'm guessing when Diaz is ready to go back to Bowie, Hays will go to Norfolk. I think the Orioles would want to keep McKenna playing regularly, plus they have  Nichting and Rifaela.

Are you guessing based on what is likely to happen or are you hoping?   Diaz will probably be in Bowie within the next week and Hays is going to stay there for awhile.  Nichting and Rifaela are org guys and can DH or sit on the bench.  They don't figure into the promotion decisions on actual prospects.  

My prediction:  You see an OF of Diaz, McKenna, and Hays in Bowie for at least a month.

    • I don't think it is really the past 5 games.  It is the next 4 months, potential playoffs, and all of next year that has people concerned.  Remember these elbows aren't just taking guys out this year, but most of next year as well. And Burnes probably won't be around next either. 
    • It is just a real shame that the Os are going through all of these elbows.  Take away all of the elbows going back to last year with Felix and I would say the Os are a lock to get to the WS and would have a great chance to win it all. I haven't seen this many injuries from a teams top guys in such a short amount of time in maybe.....forever. I am starting to wonder if it is something the Os are doing as far as their training.   Trying to obtain too much spin, revs, and velocity. I am a big Colts fan and for years we have complained about all of the knee blowouts and hammy injuries they get when playing at home.  Finally the Colts realized that it might be turf related from their home field and replaced it this past spring.    
    • I've been a fan for a long time too but mostly remember a lot of near misses, not tailspin collapses. 2005 comes to mind (Raffygate, Sammy Sosa, Lee Mazzilli, et al.)... what other seasons are you thinking of, to create scar tissue?
    • I really like Kremer.  Seems like a good guy and a solid arm. But he is not going to be the guy to get you into the playoffs and he especially won't be a guy between a make or break WS championship. 
    • We can hope he’s back to being his #5 self, but he’ll now be a #3, and let’s all x the fingers
    • The 5 game losing streak is a 5 game losing streak.  I am not too concerned about that unless it turns into something bigger. Every team goes through it.  What I am concerned about is losing 3 starters and 2 great relievers since last August with not a lot to replace them other than Burnes.  And they won't even back for most of next year...if at all. Add in the fact that Burnes is more than likely leaving after this year?  Our cupboard pitching wise is pretty bare as it looks right now. So imo you absolutely need to trade some of your AA and AAA players to get pitching help now and for next year.  This team is too good to waste years on players like GH and AR. 
    • Trading Drew Rom for Flaherty was not a big swing. It was trading a maybe prospect for a “hope he’s ok” guy with three months before FA. I am increasingly convinced Mike won’t make any bigger move this season, and what we have is basically what we will have.
