Where do Adley and Gunnar start the season in 2021?

Should be Norfolk imo.

Bowie moves to AAA..Frederick AA..Delmarva A.

Keeps all the prospects close.

I think the issue with Frederick is the facility and ownership. 
 

My guess is Gunnar starts at Delmarva for a little then moves to Aberdeen for rest of year. 
 

Not impossible Adley briefly goes to Aberdeen and then on to Bowie rest of year. My guess though is he starts at Bowie.

Sports Guy elsewhere posted this nice article on Gunnar’s experience in summer camp:

Though the article is mostly about Gunnar, I enjoyed this line:

“He was a sponge when around top prospect Adley Rutschman, who by the end of the camp was an impossible out and constantly hitting the ball out of Prince George’s Stadium.”

Good to hear because he was underwhelming in 2019.  A  .594 OPS even in a SSS is not what you expect from a top prospect in low A.  I would be surprised if he doesn't start in Hi A (Aberdeen?) just to show he has shown he is able to dominate that level.

This is all wrong.

If Adley starts 2021 in Aberdeen, I will run naked around Camden Yards.

(Assuming he's not rehabbing from an injury or something weird like that.)

I think he was referring to Gunnar, but Weams is also correct on mistakes in the post.  For one Gunnar had a .701 OPS not a .594 OPS.

No, the original post was referring to Adley.

The OP was yes, but the reply from @OriolesMagic83 was to the article you originally posted, which @Frobby noted about Gunnar.  I was replying to @glenn__davis who was replying to OriolesMagic who was replying to the article on Gunnar. 

Phew...

Yes but the note from the article that Frobby pointed out was Henderson talking about Adley and the comment was made that he was impossible to get out..OriolesMagic noted that was good to hear since he sucked last year.

I hope you understood that OriolesMagic83 was assuming that Aberdeen will be our high A team next year.    He wasn’t saying Rutschman could go to short season ball.    

As to whether Adley starts in A+, I tend to doubt it, for the reasons stated in the OP.    But it’s not so unlikely that I would threaten to run naked at OPACY if it occurred.   I wouldn’t want to subject anyone to that spectacle.

Thank you for being considerate.

Ah, ok. That makes more sense. I rescind my offer haha. The way Elias slow plays it I won't be shocked if he starts at high A next year.

As to Rutschman,   I won’t rule out a second half call-up.

Why?  Looking at the way Elias has handled Mountcastle and now Diaz. A late season promotion in 2021 for a highly rated position player seems unlikely to me.   If the team is in contention in August then maybe they would do what happened to Manny but failing a surprise playoff year  I don't expect to see AR in 2021 at the major league level.

Now if the CBA gets change that could change how Elias looks at promotions. But that would be in 2022.

Well, I think you also have to consider the idea that Diaz and Mountcastle would have been up here had they been healthy (Diaz) and has a position they could play adequately (Mountcastle).

If AR is as good as they hope him to be and he stays healthy, they won’t be able to keep him down in the minors all year next year.
