I dunno if you're considering that as a dig at Manny of some sorts but I think Manny has 300 million reasons not to care what goes on in Baltimore. This is a good point.  I think any team that

This is great news, and I'm surprised that he signed before Rutschman.  I figured that some of the savings from Rutschman's contract would go towards signing Henderson.

He hasn't signed, he's agreed to a deal as I thoroughly believe Rutschman also has for awhile now.

He’s just a kid.

I feel so old sometimes.

True story. One of my students parents doesn’t come pick him up on time. I say to him, “why don’t you call your parents and see where they are?” He answers, “I don’t have my phone.” I take my phone off the hook, hand it to him. ”Here.”

He puts it to his ear, looks at me and says, “your phone is broken. It’s making this weird noise.”

I take the phone from him, listen, and then give him an incredulous look.

“That’s called a dial tone!”

Rutchsman was in Baltimore today via his Instagram which was then taken down. Hopefully we have them both in the fold by Tuesday. Wouldn't be nice to announce them at Manny's return?

Who is Manny?

After the announcements they can come sit with us in the Hangout Night seats.

Plenty of empty seats.  ?

Nice to see. Tough choice for this kid, but we are all glad he chose the Orioles.

I’m having a hard time seeing how this is anything but an obvious choice assuming he is going to get north of 3mil or even 2mil.  If he wants to play professional baseball then he gets his start early with a better/potentially faster path to the majors. If he wants an education to hedge against failure in professional baseball then he has millions already in the bank to own his own home and pay for college with no loans necessary and still have millions left over.  

Why would anyone go to college under those circumstances?

      Is Hyde/Sigbot burying another prospect?

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      Oh agee Kjerstad’s promotion/playing time is not important enough in terms of it’s possible impact on revenue. But there are other player decisions that are/will be.

      2024 Ongoing Lineup Thread

      By Moose Milligan · Posted

      Last year he went 5.1 innings with 4 hits, 2 earned, 5 strikeouts and 2 walks in his lone start at Camden Yards. For his career against us, he's got a 1.99 ERA in 45.1 innings, 4 wins and 0 losses.  His WHIP against us is 0.927.  It's the lowest WHIP against any team he's faced consistently (I'm not counting interleague eams where he's thrown 8 innings against a team) in the AL outside of the Guardians.  And he's got 23.1 more innings against us than he does them. This bleeping guy owns us.  I'm not expecting much out of our offense tonight but I would absolutely love it if we lit him up like a Christmas tree.

      Kimbrel update. I suspect he's not going to be available tonight.

      Help me understand - bullpen usage

      By SteveA · Posted

      To your point...  Mike Baumann and Yohan Ramirez have combined to throw 2.2 innings in the last 10 days. So really, we pretty much have a 6 man bullpen, because those guys are rarely ever going to pitch, and almost certainly not in close games. So yeah, that's a problem.   It's possible that those 2 could both be replaced by some combination of Suarez, Irvin, and Wells in the pen as the season goes on.    Suddenly you have have a lot more length in the pen as well as guys who you think (hope) can perform adequately in closer games.

      No question they are burying him. He is a MLB ready prospect who would probably be playing for most other teams.  The question is do we get more out of trading him than we get by keeping him in the minors. We don't know if Elias has received any compelling trade offers. I would say the upside of keeping Kjerstad is a hedge against 1) injury to Hays, O'Hearn or Santander, or 2) regression by Cowser. There are many alternate realities in which Kjerstad would be playing regularly even without any trades. So far they haven't materialized, but if they do we will be glad we have him. I would be open to trading him as well as Stowers, but I would not be giving them away. For now, Kjerstad and Stowers producing in AAA is a "good problem to have". If we get to July and we have obvious holes that go unfilled via trade, then something is wrong and it's time to get mad.

      If Hays isn't back this weekend, I think something like this is about what will start to happen, but we are seeing playoff posture these Yankees games. Hopefully Kjerstad is becoming a top expert on the Yankees relievers he might face in one big moment these next 48 hours.

      I don't write that great.  In real life I have a massive stutter and failed my Maryland writing test in High school the first time and had to retake it.   I honestly was just trying to make a joke on the stats driven front office.  I would never imply or act as if your opinion is not wanted.   I think Kjerstad must be in a box of big bat no glove no need to treat like a true prospect.  I was trying to bring that point up in a funny way.  Obviously I failed.  I often do.
