Would it constitute pushing at this point?

I said earlier I'd like to see them at an all-star level to move up in most cases, but he has a year in at AA and is starting to come around. I don't see how it would hurt at this point, even if he ends up staying at Norfolk for a couple of years.

Bowie's website has him listed as temporarily inactive.

Is that like a family emergency or something?

It probably is something like that, the organization does not release that type of information.  It's just like the Adam Hall temporary inactive status.

Paternity leave, apparently.

What is the logic for making everything such a secret? If the Orioles' organization is so much more advanced now, you'd think they would have a little more transparency for the fans they are asking to stick with them through rebuilding.

    • You've probably heard things like "we need to get into their bullpen". In the gamesmanship of baseball, you only get to face the worst pitchers once the game is out of hand. As long as the game is close, you are likely to face better pitchers.
    • Gunnar Westburg Grayson Mayo Holliday (wait until the offseason and there may be a "buy low" extension opportunity compared to this recent spring training/this past offseason, although that's unlikely with Boras) Burnes Cowser Adley  
    • Claims he couldn’t care less then drops the longest post in the thread on what he claims he couldn’t care less about 🤣🤣🤣
    • It will be a bitter pill to swallow if we end up a couple games worse than NYY and this tabulator imagines they got 50 net runs of help. Sig Mejdal would probably be only to happy to do some pro bono case preparation on behalf of Rob Manfred and David Rubenstein. I do kind of think if/when robo-umps come, Orioles bats may enjoy a short-term preparedness advantage.
    • Mayo and Basallo are the only non-Boras, non-pitchers who will debut at a young enough age that you’d be buying out free agent years before age 30. As much as I’d like to extend Gunnar, Holliday etc., I think those are the most likely candidates. But they have such big question marks about the defensive value they will provide that it might be pretty hard finding the right number. You don’t want to be paying them as a 3B/C when they end up a 1B/DH. And I also don’t expect to Orioles to do an extension before they get some MLB exposure under their belts. Just this year, the Keith and Rafaela extensions are looking really rough and showing the risks to that approach, and I’m going to assume the Orioles will remain very risk averse to guaranteed money until proven otherwise. 
    • After last night's brutal hose job from Laz Diaz, the Orioles are now last in the league in TotFav.  We've lost almost 8 net runs to umpire mistakes this season.  
    • There are quite a few occasions in MLB history of teams taking the right path and the wrong path. Early contracts have risk but by far greatest reward. Atlanta Braves have locked up most of there stars. Acuna, Olsen, Albies, Riley, Strider, Murphy, Harris. Its cost them money up front but will be massive savings down the road. Acuna on the open market would net 50 million per year for over 14 years. They are paying him 12.5 million per season. There are teams like the Nationals who let Harper, Soto, Turner all walk because of ownership and not early intervention. People were saying it was stupid for Juan Soto to turn down Nats contract. He will get more this offseason for sure. Also the Nats were in that situation because they had talks 1.5 years left on the contract.    Contract order for me would go Gunnar-by far number 1, already comparable deal with Witt Jr. Has to get done, Has to be lifelong Oriole Westburg- Not something crazy but buying out arbitration years something like 7-8 years 80-100 million Bradish-something that pays off arbitration and pays 2-3 years free agency. Burnes- Frontloaded contract where first 4 years are majority of pay. Most of our payroll increase comes in 4 years when Adley hits free agency.    I would continue to monitor Holiday.   Adley is a wait and see. He will be a 30 year old catcher. Have to see how Basallo progresses in next year.
