All of 2019?

Thank you.  I saw his career numbers on MiLB by level but not each year.  
 

Definitely nice numbers in 2019...of course he was 27 and in AA for the 4th time, so I’m not sure they mean anything.  Guess there is no harm in seeing if he can be any good but I would think you can DFA him and keep him in the system.

I’m hoping this guy did something that flipped a switch and the Orioles recognized it.    Still, I really don’t get excited by these marginal roster moves.  Maybe one out of 25 moves like this turns into anything noteworthy.

Sure and it’s worth taking a flyer.

I think it’s fair to say that he has as good if not a better chance to be something compared to Wynns.  In that sense, wth?

But i also don’t think this is something to pat him on the back about or get excited or anything like that.

I'm still waiting for the amazing turnaround that the Astro pitchers had.

How often are catchers picked R5? Seems like a tricky position to hide or develop at ML level. 

Often enough.    I counted about 10 in the last 12 years.   In 2016, the Reds picked two of them.  They kept one, traded the other and both lasted the full season in the majors.

    • What is unsettling to me is in how much better a position the team appeared to be in last year at this (approximate) time.
    • I love the Orioles but after the last three decades it is no longer unconditional love anymore from me.  The Orioles are going to have to put out once in a while to keep my interest.  They got to let us go all the way once in a while.  
    • The Baltimore Orioles are still one of the best teams in all of baseball.  They still have an awful lot going for them.  Unfortunately, the while the distance between World Series winner and close but no cigar is not that much in the overall win column during the season, the things they need to go right, and the things they need to do to improve are still pretty massive. Compounding this is the fact that they can do everything necessary and it is still possible it won't work.  I don't say that as an excuse.  Elias is going to be measured by playoff appearances and the success that brings.  He has been engineer of two playoff teams and a near miss.  He still has as many wins with his near miss and his rebuilding teams in the playoffs as his two playoff teams.  It is certainly fine to criticize that. Of course he says it is on him.  One because it is, and two because any good GM would do the same.  But the Orioles are no longer building towards being good.  They are good and no one is going to give them anything.  There is work to be done to make this team better positioned to compete in the post season.   And the Angelos family is no longer a hinderance. I am as disappointed as everyone else and in general I am a root for the uniform not the player guy.  These guys have been fun to root for, but the second half and this playoff run was tough to stomach.  I hope that to give this team the chance to compete, they add a #1 TOR pitcher and another playoff caliber starter before the season starts.  I also hope they add a playoff experienced RH bat.  Trade, sign, whatever.  The window is open.  Whatcha gonna do?
    • Fire himself so he can go work for a larger market team maybe...
    • I doubt any GM has ever done that.  Maybe he can be the first, he could hold a big press conference and everything.  Go Elias, go! 
    • Elias is also a known liar.  So take what he says with a grain of salt.
