I don't think you're completely naive, but Galvis is here on a one year deal.  Richie Martin will probably be with the organization next year.  I doubt Galvis will be.

So if Martin levels his game up this year while in AA or AAA, he might have a shot next year.  He'll be in his age 27 season.  Certainly not a prospect anymore but will have some room to grow.  

Richie Martin is still with the Os? Richie Martin is still in baseball as a player?  He definitely has room to grow, but a would bet dollars to donuts he isn’t on the opening day roster for the Os next year.

He might rip it up this year in the minors and earn it. Doubtful, but who knows?

What is that based on? Is Gunnar Henderson going to amaze in spring training and win the spot? Are they going to sign Carlos Correa for SS? Are we assuming that Martin will fall flat on his face in AAA or get injured again? He can't even win a utility role?

A ton of big name SS on market next year. Chris Taylor is a guy I would have interest in. I’m sure contending teams would love to him also. That said he won’t make huge money like the top of the class would.  I know he could wind up at 2nd.

Martin is down at the alternate site and from what I heard, has been one of the most impressive players down there.

I wouldn’t count him out at all.    This is obviously a big year for him and I fully expect he will spend some time on the major league roster this season.

Galvis has been a great pickup. You can’t do better than what he’s been so far as a stop gap. Especially considering how we really don’t have any MLB quality/ready IF depth. 
 

He’s been a pleasure to watch. 

Agree. Galvis has been a great signing. Maybe not as much range as he did a few years ago. But you cant argue with a .780 OPS.

2021

Galvis:  .265 / .315 / .470

Iglesias:  .265 / .279 / .343

 

We criticize Elias pretty darn quickly for the Zach Pop type mistakes.....we should give him credit for the hits as well.

Well yes, but Galvis will play one season for us while we aren’t contenders whereas Pop might have been a key bullpen member on a future team.  

And in both cases, jury’s out on how they’ll do over the course of 162 games.

    • Seems like a good thread to consider whether Mansolino has done a good job generally.   The O’s have been thrown out at home only 11 times, tied for 6th fewest in MLB (13.3 is average).   They have scored from 1st on a double 41.5% of the time, vs. league average of 38.2% of the time. They have scored from 2B on a single 62.9% of the time, vs. league average 61.8% of the time.   The O’s have been thrown out at 3B 6 times, tied for 3rd fewest in MLB. They have gone 1st to 3rd on a single 36.2% of the time, vs. league average 31.9%.   So, the overall profile is that the O’s take an extra base to get to 3B or score on a single or a double at a greater rate than the average team, yet they are thrown out trying to do those things less than the average team. Not all the credit or the blame for these things falls on the 3B coach.   And, there are some plays involving the 3B coach that I can’t capture, like scoring from 3B on a fly out or a ground ball.   However, based on what we can capture, I think you’d have to say that Mansolino has done a pretty good job, despite individual decisions that may have been wrong.  
    • Looks like AL East and AL West have same deal with 7 to play - 5 game leads and the chaser has three at the first place team. Royals now having lost 6 in a row - the 5/6/7 is fuzzy. Tuesday night will only be some fun if the O's pick up a game today - 1 back with a sweep going to the final weekend an opportunity, 2 back with a sweep going to the final weekend a mirage.     The Orioles have played the showdown generally into Grapefruit League mode, but at least yesterday was not a playoff game. NYY in great shape for 1 seed, won regular season series 4-2 over CLE, so effectively 3 up in the loss column.    CLE one of the few clubs with two off days in the final week, and a likely bye to rest that hard worked cadre of relievers.    That said, the Astros do play the Guardians the final weekend, and could be within striking distance of that valuable seeding into the ALDS round.
    • Nope..corn can be a slang for weed.  You are a morally bankrupt human being!!!!!!
    • Anything hit in the outfield no matter how deep you automatically tag up. That is learned in little league. This is not hard. I had a play exactly like this in town ball. You go back to the bag and then watch. As soon as the shortstop went down off you go and the game is over. Why that third base coach was pointing DOWN the line is a cardinal sin. Don't fire the guy but give him a solid scolding. 
    • Typical fail for SG on the literacy test.
    • So then I don't think he gets optioned. I think they save him for the postseason roster. I see Johnson and Jimenez going for Westburg and Urias. Mountcastle may not be back till the playoffs. 
    • For the O's they won game after game like this last year. For the Ravens go back to 2012 I guess. Im in South Florida at least you guys dont have to put up with the Dolphins. Now thats a team that will get on youre nerves.
