It would not surprise me if he's kept down and rehabbed as long as possible and then Wells will come up with something and the same thing will happen while Sceroler will return.

My guess is the plan is to work them onto the 26-man roster for the minimal time they need to keep them and using minor league rehab as a way to get them some innings. 

I know Wells is almost 90 days and we can work the system and keep him. And I know we could use the roster spot. But Wells is becoming one of the bright spots in our pen. Maybe we should keep him here.

 

But this year doesn't matter so... whatever. As long as we keep him.

And yes, Sceroler hasn't shown us anything yet. The SLIGHTEST hints.

 

But I'm a firm believer in GENES in the majors. If your previous relatives had success it's likely you will too. It happens over and over.

It’s also happened over and over that genes mean nothing.

He isn’t good.  He hasn’t ever been good.  Cut bait and give Hyde another arm that maybe has a chance.

Here’s the thing with Rule 5 picks, even if you manage to “hides them all year, they are still on your 40 man over the offseason. So then that is one of your own players you cannot protect from the rule 5 draft. Aka Pop and Fenter, even though we got Fenter back. 

True, I never looked at it that way.

But ME cleared up 2 spots on the 40 heading into the Rule V draft, took Wells and Sceroler to fill it. If he was ok then to risk Pop or Fenter to be lost, then that was his decision.

And now, I guess it his (And Sig and his department's) decision whether he really wants to keep Sceroler. (Wells is a lock.)

I think the only way they will put Wells on the IL is if he really does tweak something or they are worried about his innings, but it doesn't appear his innings load will be that bad for a starting pitcher.

Sure it happens a lot and good genes probably give an advantage, but think of all the MLB players who have kids/nephews that don't become professional baseball players, let alone successful ones. If the guy stinks, cut him loose.

Sceroler is useful for throwing to the wolves in blowouts and protecting your actual prospects/quality bullpen arms from absorbing those innings/pitches thrown. I think we keep him as long as he's healthy and then towards the end of the season he'll be DFA'd and probably able to pass through waivers at that point.

If they DFA Sceroler anytime this year he will have to goes through waivers and bevoffered back to the Reds.

Yep, he hasn't hurt us or cost us a game this year.   At worst he's taken a roster spot that some slightly less bad reliever might have taken.   But we can't DFA him until after the season if we want to keep him.

The decision to keep him or not will be based in entirely on how he projects in the minds of Elias and company, not how he pitches now.

      Gunnar Henderson 2024

      I was hoping that would be this season, but he faded this second half. But even Gunnar not living up to his lofty expectation is still a good player with an .811 OPS.

      Mike Elias simply can't offer Michael Baumann, Cristian Pache, Connor Norby and Kyle Stowers this kind of experience. Jack Flaherty was kind of Meh again, but hey, at least he isn't on Detroit for this weekend. It is a special player to get to watch.    He's reviving some of the Babe Ruth "he hits too brilliantly to let him pitch" stuff, but hombre is going to do whatever he wants to do, it is part of the deal.    It does seem pretty likely the SB to this scale are a 1-time deal with the legs getting the year off from the mound. I do have a baseball-y wish to see if he could be Ken Griffey, Jr. in center field if he tried.

      AL playoff picture

      By OsFanSinceThe80s · Posted

      Hopefully it will be like giving a blood transfusion to a sickly patient. Yes some players haven't played as well this season, but it's mainly the injuries that have taken it's toll. The lineup gets much better if Westburg, Urias and Mountcastle are back. No longer does Eloy have to play and Holliday can be platooned. Plus O'Hearn will absolutely not see at bats against LHP like he has been recently at times. Webb and Coulombe provide depth to make the bullpen postseason viable. And Coulombe can close games instead of Dominguez assuming he's back all the way.

      Gunnar Henderson 2024

      Gunnar stands to improve on: fielding and stolen bases. I also think he’ll have a 1.000OPS season or two before he’s done.

      Maybe they were going by Tony's reaction, not realizing that with the winning run on third there wasn't any point in running.

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      By OrioleintheATL · Posted

      looks like some of y'all are gonna be pissed when we win 2 of 3 against Detroit, at least one in NY and 2 o 3 against Minn.  I'd be embarassed if I were some of you....projecting the apathy and misery in your own little lives onto our O's.  This is a F upped sport and a team with talent like this can turn on a dime and start winning consistently at any time.  This isn't over.  I you're mad that your life hasn't worked out well......please don't bring the rest of us down.
