How much longer do we have to wait?

Please tell me you can tell the difference between these scenarios?

Salazar is 30 years old, he's not a prospect, He can only play 1B adequatley, there was no place for him here.

Wieters is probably the #1 prospect in baseball, he's 22, when he comes up it will be as an everyday player. I guarantee it.

Montanez falls somewhere in the middle of Salazar and Wieters. He's 26 and this is his 3rd turn at AA. I think he is viewed by the organization as a 4th OF.

My point is that we need to move Payton, Ramon, & Mora. Until we move a starter Trembley will play the veterans.

I undertsand that when Wieters gets here he will play. But again why rush him theres no need.

Salazar should have been given a chance to play with Millar hitting less than

250. Remember Scott developed late...Isn't it at least possible that Salazar could be a similar guy?

Montanez also should prove he can play at AAA before being called up. The idea of having guys skip AAA & come to the majors is a mistake that the Orioles have made for too long.

Trembley isn't the one who signed Millar, Payton, Mora, and Ramon. The FO is trying to move these guys, the problem is nobody wants them.

Salazar isn't likely to match Millar's production. He can only hit LHP. He could be a valuable bat off of the bench, but there's no room since we are carrying 13 pitchers. Scott's minor league numbers are also way better than Salazar's and he was younger when he put them up.

I disagree about skipping AAA. I forget who said it (maybe Stockstill), that the pitching is better in the Eastern League this year than in the International League. Markakis skipped AAA and he turned out fine.

David Price is going to get called up and he is a pitcher. Yes, the same price that was drafted last year, just as Wieters was and who also didn't debut until this season.

And yes, i know the Rays are in contention and need him but us getting Wieters' feet wet is very important as well.

And this is the Rays team that blew it by not calling up Longoria to start the season.

    • I  regret to hear news on Wells and Means setbacks.  I like Means because Orioles drafted and developed him .  He will be free agent this fall , should Orioles tender him or let him walk ? As for Wells, he has the stuff but durability is his drawback . Every season Orioles slotted him in starting rotation, then he gets put on IL this season, 2023 and 2022 seasons also .  When Wells returns next season  , they should slot him in bullpen permanently  , JMO 
    • Yes and at one point was a higher rated prospect in their system than Aaron Judge. It took awhile with the bat but he was always an amazing athlete with the ability for defensive wizardry. 
    • Does anybody know that he is an ex Yankee?
    • I put this ridiculousness in the game recap, but I think it belongs here as well.  Using AI you can really make some crazy stuff. 😂 https://suno.com/song/8f21dd9e-af4e-4284-9f23-c566260ca6ce
    • A buddy of mine made this with his AI. I figured I’d just put this here. 😂   https://suno.com/song/8f21dd9e-af4e-4284-9f23-c566260ca6ce
    • I was listening to MLB Prospects podcast last week. They talked about Gillen, and mentioned a lot about how he may be the best high school hitter. However, it’s a tough call where he’ll go because of a weak arm. They said the arm was injured, a right labrum, and his arm strength is not back after two years. So, probably wasn’t going to be a SS anyway when said and done due to size, maybe a 2B/LF or CF profile due to the weak arm and 60 speed. He was projected to maybe become the top high school player in the draft as a sophomore, but injured the shoulder and had some other injuries that have held him back. It is going to be interesting to see where Elias goes with picks 22 and 32. I would like to see Gillen there, but I think he’ll be gone. Kellon Lindsey is interesting, and maybe Billy Amick, along with one of the previous college hitters you mentioned will sneak through. Lindsey is rising fast.
    • A good friend of mine coaches college baseball.  He’s studied and dedicated his career to understanding how humans move. Not all humans move the same way.  An incredible talent could potentially be taught to move against his body’s preference and fail.  New wave progressive coaches understand how various body types work and the nuance to teach/coach them effectively.
