Orioles defense so far by Statcast

[Philip]

On the other hand, in 2019 Dwight Smith Jr was minus 10 OAA, so it could be worse

Are you talking about Mountcastle?  

If so, this is the most foolish thing I have seen on this site.

I was blissfully unaware of his comment until you quoted him.

So thanks for that?

Yea I guess it would have been better off not causing attention to it.

YOU try and trade him and see what you get. 
He may have meaningful value in time, but he doesn’t right now.

Is there a compelling argument to not bring up Adley? Our catching sucks.

If you wait to bring him up you have him under team control for more years in which the team is theoretically going to be competitive.

He’s not ready yet the service time consideration date was I think April 16, so that’s not an issue, but he’s just not ready yetHe’s not ready yet the service time consideration date was I think April 16, so that’s not an issue, but he’s just not ready yet

Glass Half Full on the Statcast stuff - in contrast to the dead last in Hitting,  Orioles pitching (Matt Harvey, Jorge Lopez and all) is respectably middle class in xwOBA yielded so far this year.

With Rutschman, Rodriguez and Hall all more Run Prevention oriented potential stars, it perhaps looks like from here that the kind of "somewhat better" team we become in a year or two will probably stop the other guys from scoring better than it can put runs on the board.

We have enjoyed an easy early schedule, though.   Now....hottest team in baseball, then the Yankees regressing to the mean, then the West Coast - could be a challenging stretch.

Early results notwithstanding, I still think the home Red Sox series probably the easiest for a month.

(SG calls Elias: “hi Mike, just wanted you to know that I was told to trade Mountcastle by some other guy on the internet, so I did.  Hope you like the trade!”

Elias: WTF?)

I'm assuming Severino and Sisco are what they are at this point.  But, Mountcastle has virtually zero experience in the outfield and I do expect him to get better and hate the idea of DH'ing him so much.

In the context of this thread, a 100% CS backstop?

Have we? Higher amount of road games than home games. Red Sox have been one of the hottest teams in baseball. Maybe they're worse than their record indicates, but the Yanks are certainly better than theirs does.

Yea, super 2 status is totes irrelevant when talking about someone picked 1-1.

I'm not even sure why you follow this team. You blaze a statement like this like it is a fact, but I don't know if it could be further from the truth.

Comments like this are useless. And dishonest. Mountcastle Has a wonderful prospect pedigree, but he has little defensive value( his FB fielding value is 30 which has so far proven to be the case) and only has 209 ABs and hasn’t yet shown what he can do. If you think he can be traded at this moment for a meaningful return, then ok.
