Straight to MLB. He is better than everyone except Mancini right now!

Delmarva. Let him grow with that nucleus and move him up next year.

Posey was drafted by SF in 2008, and appeared in only a handful of minor league games that year. He played 115 minor league games in 2009 and was called up to the bigs for the last week of the season

Aberdeen after he signs and finishing at Delmarva or Frederick if and when he sets the New York-Penn League on fire. 

I don't see them just sending him straight to a full season affiliate this season.  Not their style. They are going to slow roll it.  No doubt garnering the frustration of many on this message board. 

You start him out too aggressively this season and then they might find themselves in a position of not being able to refuse a call up sometime in 2020.  I expect him to begin next season in Frederick and finish in Bowie.  They absolutely will not want to start his service clock until 2021.

Disagree Chuck.  If Rutschman is really that good he'll be up sometime in 2020 and the O's will have no choice.  I think he easily makes it up to Frederick this year.  He starts 2020 in Bowie and forces his way up to Baltimore by the end of the year. 

How many draft picks have started their first full professional season in Double A over the last 5-10 years?  Have there been any?

Brandon Finnegan and Chris Sale both pitched in the majors the year they were drafted. Sale actually only pitched 10 innings in the minors before he was promoted and has never been back down since except when he's been on a rehab assignment.

Didn't Posey make it late in the year after he was drafted?

Posey was drafted by SF in 2008, and appeared in only a handful of minor league games that year. He played 115 minor league games in 2009 and was called up to the bigs for the last week of the season when Giants' catcher Bengie Molina was injured. He started 2010 at AAA and was finally called up for good at the end of May that year. One huge difference between the Giants then and the Orioles now is that San Francisco was competitive in the AL West, and the addition of a stud catcher who put up 3.9 WAR during a season where the Giants took the division by 2 games (and went on the become world series champions) was decisive. I don't think the Orioles will be in a position where Rutschman will be that kind of difference maker in the next two years.

I think Aberdeen is the most likely destination for a couple weeks and then to Delmarva.  This is the same treatment the Reds and Phillies gave top college hitters in last years draft in India and Bohm.  There might be a chance AR gets moved up to Frederick if he keeps dominating, but the Os may prefer to keep AR in Delmarva if they have a playoff opportunity there. 

I think Frederick is the most likely starting destination for AR in 2020 and we go from there.  The Phillies actually sent Bohm back to Lakewood (Sally League - full season Low A) to start this season.  The Phillies first rounder in 2017 Haseley, out of UVa, spent most of the summer after his draft in the NYP and still picked up 66 ABs in Low A, then started 2018 in High A and finished in AA.  He started this year back in AA where he hit to an OPS of 827 in 150 ABs, and then was promoted to AAA and had about 25 ABs there before being called up to the major league squad tonight after the McCutcheon injury - about two years after being drafted.

Is there a "nucleus" of prospects at Delmarva?

There is Rodriguez, Rom and A. Hall - that's pretty much it.

Frederick has DL Hall, Sedlock, Knight and Baumann in the rotation. That is where he should start as a 1-1 college player.

I would add Grenier, peralta and Neustromm

      Cal thinks Holiday moved to fast through the system

      By interloper · Posted

      Yeah, I admit I got baited by the thread title a bit and popped off before actually listening to the thing.  It doesn't really change that I've always been concerned about Cal being part of the ownership group, but I was definitely hasty to be like "SEE??". Anyway, I've got my eye on Cal. The guy just rubs me the wrong way. But hopefully nothing much to see here, or in the future.

      If Coby Mayo Can Play Average ML 3B Defense

      By Philip · Posted

      Meanwhile, I have a question about Mayo’s defense.  Everybody implies that it’s dreadful. I guess I can understand that he’s not Manny or Brooks, but how bad is it? Are we hoping he’s at least as good as George Brett, about whom someone once said,(paraphrasing), “his defense is so bad it’s like he carries his bat to the base instead of his glove.“? I love defense, and I see absolutely no reason to move Westburg away. if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. It seems far more advisable to plunk Mayo at first and do something with the guys we currently have there?

      I think the thread title was misleading.  Not necessarily intentionally.  But if you just  see that without reading everything that was said and considering the context, it would be concerning.

      You know, for $24 a year, a measly lousy 24 bucks a year, you can edit your comment. And you can also support @Tony-OHwho has done more work online to create an Orioles environment than literally anybody else in the entire Internet universe.

      Corbin Burnes 2024

      By Frobby · Posted

      I think there see plenty of guys who will stay with a contending team they like if the money is close.   But Burnes clearly intends to test the market.   No significant home team discount is coming, and it just takes one team to offer something crazy to knock us out of the picture unless we’re just being stupid.

      Jorge Mateo 2024

      By Frobby · Posted

      When Mateo is hitting well, he really makes you wonder why he can’t do it all the time.   He looks really balanced at the plate, he uses all fields, etc.  He doesn’t look like a bad hitter who happens to be on a heater.   But that’s what his track record shows he is, until proven otherwise.  I remember that Fangraphs article last year about how Mateo had changed his approach and the improvement seemed real.  Well, no it wasn’t.  But maybe his issues are more psychological than physical?   He’s just a guy who when he slumps, quickly loses confidence and starts pressing and makes it worse?   I don’t know.    As to your point about OBP: in 2024, a .299 OBP is below average but I might not say it blows.  The MLB average is back down to .312 after a spike last year after the rule changes.  Of 312 players with 80+ PA, Mateo’s .299 ranks 191st, or 39th percentile.   Honestly, in this environment, if Mateo could stay at .299 OBP he’d be a very credible player.   But he’s a .272 career OPS guy who’d been at .267 the last two years, so I’m not expecting he’ll be able to stay at .299.   I’ll enjoy it while he’s hot though.   And he is playing a mean 2B.   Took him a couple of weeks to settle in there, but he’s looked great for the last month.

      I broached the experiment of Holliday in CF some months ago.  It seems to be something that could make sense.  I still expect he'll be our 2B moving forward, but having such versatility is never a bad thing.
