And if he was healthy he might not has ever pitched at that level.

 

He fits the criteria.

My guess is Bundy would have started 2013 in AA.   Whether he would have gone straight to the majors from there or to AAA is anyone’s guess.   I do recall that the starting pitching sucked in the first half of 2013 (which is why we traded for Feldman and Norris), so there’s a good chance they would have brought Bundy up straight from AA.

Mmmmmm, I'm pretty sure this completely wrong. Sisco had 1800ish PAs in the MiLs before his ML debut- and many hundred after it as well- and a full five years in the MiLs. Rutschman has 440

Witt, Jr. is 0-1 with a strikeout and Abrams is 0-2 with two strikeouts tonight. Clearly the Orioles made the right choice.

I'd say we've hit upon enough examples to show it does happen with some regularity.

And that just because you skip AAA, it doesn’t mean it’s career crippling or that you are rushed or that you can’t continue your development in the majors.

You guys know Adley is going to AAA later this year right and will be up in 2022?  Is constantly reminding us you oppose that decision therapeutic for you all in some way?

But By God Man!, if we get him up here this summer we could win 59 games!

That comment is in response to a comment no one made.

No one is saying that Adley should be promoted this season so that the O's will win more games this season.

More enticing product to watch maybe.

Would lead to better development for the player.

Is the ethical employment practice sure.

No one is saying hey if we promote Adley we'll win a few more games this season and that matters.

I think the O's should do it because attacking worker rights is the wrong thing to do.  I don't think they are acting in good faith.  Just because he received a significant signing bonus doesn't make it right.

The original post was something about most good prospects skip AAA. I think, at least in the Orioles' case, this shows that most do not skip AAA. It's not unheard of, but the percentages would still be pretty low.

But then you run into the issue of how many of the Oriole prospects would qualify as "really good".

I think you have some points that are at least open for debate and some that are probably true.

I have read quite a few posts along the line that "he's better than what we have" and "I'm tired of watching these guys," which sounds to me like they think it would make the Orioles a little better, at least. While that is probably true, it's not a good reason to bring him up now, as you've said.

First of all, BS.

Plenty of people are making the argument, including you, that the O's should have been more aggressive in looking to win this year.

And when shown how signing FAs, or making trades, would have been pretty futile, the conversation then shifts into being more aggressive with promotions.  Namely, Adley's.

Would he lead to a better product to watch?  Undoubtedly.

Would it lead to better player development?  We don't know that.  And claiming you do is false.

Is it ethical employment practice?  Who are you?   Cesar Chavez?  The multi-millionaire Adley Rutschman is getting along ok.  Framing it as some moral crusade is laughable.

The reasons for not promoting Adley have been laid out dozens of times.  They are imminently reasonable.  The O's handling of Adley is pretty much the norm across the industry.

You don't like it?  Great.

We heard you the first two dozen times.

Here’s my question: if keeping Adley down is solely about service time manipulation and he’s undoubtedly ready for the majors right now, why haven’t they moved Adley to Norfolk?   That doesn’t start his service time clock, and it prepares him better for the majors than playing in AA does, if he’s mastered AA.

To me the obvious answer is, they don’t think he’s done developing at the AA level and think that’s the best place for his development.   

Personally, I’m happy about it, because I’m headed to Bowie tonight to see him and Grayson Rodriguez and the rest of our Bowie prospects.   Looking forward to it!

      I really don't consider Jose Altuve to be a once in a generation baseball player.  A very very good player yes.  Generational?  No. I think GH could be on the other hand.  Why?  Because of his overall athletic ability.  That is all I am saying.

      I agree.  Some great baseball players were not great overall athletes.  I just happen to think that Gunnar Henderson is and JH is not.

      Gwynn was a great athlete while in high school before he put on all that weight around his midsection while dominating in the Major Leagues. But yes I agree with your overall point.

      When I mentioned those players above like Deion or a Jordan, yes I know they were not at good at baseball as they were in football and baseball.  I mean obviously lol.  What I meant was those guys were such good athletes that even though they barely played baseball once they committed to their main sports of football and bball, they could still perform at a level as good at or better than many other baseball players who had played baseball their whole lives.  That is special.  Most people would have gone out there and looked like fools trying to play a different sport professionally. For example watch some NBA or football players try to throw a pitch to home plate for an honorary opening pitch.  Some throw like a girl or have no idea how to throw.     They look like Obama haha.  I have seen better throws by some very hot looking K pop girls throwing out a first pitch compared to some pro athletes I have seen.    You would be shocked at how bad many pro athletes are at other sports.  I see it all the time on you tube for example. One group of athletes that imo are some of the best in the world as far as playing and being good at a lot of different sports?  Hockey players.  Just some elite elite athletes in that sport.  Which makes sense.  I have played hockey my entire life and being able to skate and move to the level that pro hockey players do?   Really is amazing.  It is so difficult.  And you would be shocked at how many hockey players are really really good golfers.   Which makes sense as carrying around a hockey stick and having  the touch to make and take passes and shoot is very similar to golf.  All in the hands.

      Ok.  I think he appears taller because he’s skinny. 6’3 is probably about average for a ML starting pitcher.  Irvin is 6’4.  Burnes and Bradish 6’3, and Kremer 6’2. If he can avoid the walks he should be ok.

      How much evidence does Mike Elias need that Jorge Mateo should not be playing against RHP?
