Cumberland is moving the wrong way here...

This front office is holding people accountable for their performance.  I like it.

His wOBA is .347 and wRC+ is 125. Both better than Ripken who is 2 years older at a lower level but is being promoted. Shrug.

So far on the pitching side we’ve only promoted Harvey, Sedlock, and Baumann IIRC. Grenier earned it.

Cumberland wasn’t getting a lot of playing time in Bowie. In a year with us since being acquired via trade, Cumberland has only played 43 games in Bowie, with a 4 game rehab stint in Aberdeen. .739 OPS for a C isn’t bad. Maybe they are going to give him everyday DH/1B ABs now?

Jean Carrillo was just placed on the 7 day IL, so they needed a catcher anyway. Robert's and Breazeale aren't doing good in Delmarva and I believe almost all of the Aberdeen ones are draft picks except one.

To fill you all in on Cumberland, he was in AA, hitting 25% better than league average.

He got hurt, missed a bunch of time, and recently started a rehab assignment in Aberdeen.

He’s continuing to work back in Frederick, it’s not a demotion and he’ll be back in AA in no time.

Obviously not a punishment. Possibly he is needing to start and Cervenka was getting his time. Or his D is substandard.

      FIX THE DANG BULLPEN

      I would bring Povich or McDermott up and see if they can be an impact arm.  Why trade, if they can get some experience and also maybe do the job?

      I’d argue they are 2 guys short in the BP.

      Looks like it worked today.  I’m going to go out on a short limb and say Vlad’s defense at 3B will hurt them a lot more than Vogelbach’s bat will help them.  Looking forward to seeing this alignment on a regular basis.

      I would argue they are 2 short. Webb and Cano are not back end guys with their average to below average K rates. In order of high leverage to low leverage, I like the idea of: Kimbrel, Trade 1, Coulombe, Trade 2, Cano, Perez, Webb, Akin/Suarez Cano is still fine against RHB’s and Webb has reverse splits. They need a righty version of Coulombe, someone that is a true backend guy and can get both lefties and righties out.  They can probably manage with just 1 addition and keeping 2 of Akin/Suarez/Tate in the pen. But having those 2 additions and not having to rely on Cano turning back into 2023 Cano seems smart. The BP is the clear weakness of the team and this could be the only year with Burnes. Might as well load up.

      And he was flashing some wheels too, stretching into a 2B and also cutting off balls in the field, making competitive throws trying to get runners.

      Agreed they were one reliever short I thought even with Baumann(even though I don’t trust him much), now with Viera they are 2 guys short.  That was a downgrade though they must think they can get him fixed enough to have him help out later on.  Perez has pitched well so that is a big help but still another guy is needed for times like today.  I do think they might add Lopez if they can claim him on waivers who is better option then Viera imo.

      Draft Targets 2 Months Out

      By RZNJ · Posted

      I have no problem going reliever at #22 if he profiles as a dominant reliever.  Sounds like Massey can be gotten later but I’d have no problem going for Brody Brecht with one of those first two picks.  Again, I prefer Gillen or Lindsey at #22.  Be great if we could get one at #22 and the other at #32.        Who do you consider high upside that might be there at #32?
