Hays or Mullins?

At this point I think Mullins is our everyday CF for the next five years.

I don't know.... he was hitting over .800 earlier in the season.  He's been slumping badly as of late and has now slipped down to .455.  If he doesn't turn things around soon he'll be back at AAA in no time.

Yeah and what's with the sub-1.200 OPS?!

Anyone want to change their answer after a few weeks?

Hey I like both of these guys.  Mullins does look like he has figured it out.  The Orioles haven't had a leadoff hitter that can do what he is doing now for a very long time.

I don’t think enough could be said about Mullins’ play so far. He was left for dead a couple years ago, and last year seemed to be a one trick-bunting pony. His power from his early minors career never manifested itself and he seemed destined for a 4th outfielder role with all the prospects in the wings. Just an incredible start to the season and even if it all falls apart he’s had a top tier major league month.

If they remain healthy, they could be the LF-CF combination for quite some time.

Is this by the end of 2022? 

I doubt we see Mundy next year. He starts next year at Bowie having not played above A-Ball and if he's swinging well, will get to Norfolk, but I'm not sure we see him in Baltimore. The rest are possible, but Rutschman, Stowers and Neustrom are the only ones I completely expect in Baltimore. Vavra should make it if he stays healthy. I'm fine giving the back-up job to Cumberland, though I am not convinced he's the answer. I love his .356 OBP in AAA, but that .188 average and inflated K rate are scary. 

I'd love to see a lineup of (or like): 

Mullins, Mountcastle, Rutschman, Mancini, Hays, Stowers, Urias, Vavra, Mateo 

by midseason.
