I think there should be a lot of movement next week throughout the entire organization.

Has Wynnie told you anything?

“Just trying to get back up there.”

I think the majority of the catchers in the organization have been doing well, except Hudgins in AA and Roberts in High A. I’ll probably post something Sunday.

I wonder if they'll jump Gunnar and/or Westburg straight to doulbeA, in terms of the inf logjam, that seems like where an opening is. The Aberdeen guys seem to be doing well, but not promotion well (Hall has been hot lately)

I think Ortiz moves up to Bowie.  He has been solid almost all year and that way you don’t rush a better prospect.

We are currently seeing some guys that are playing at a very high level and you can argue that some (or all) of the players I’m going to list should have started at a higher league anyway.  
 

Tarrin Vavra:  He is 24 and was drafted out of college.  He has an OPs over 1200 right now.  You could argue he should have started in AAA but if he continues to play at a high level for another few weeks, get him to Norfolk (assuming you don’t try him in the majors at second base)

GRod:  Another guy who could/should have started a level higher.  His ERA is barely above 1, he has 23 Ks in 12 innings and you have to start to wonder how much he is gaining by being in Aberdeen if this keeps up.  He should get another 3 starts in A ball but if this level of performance continues (or something very similar), move him up.  I also like the idea of him being with Hall and especially Rutschman. 
 

Henderson:  Henderson shouldn’t be in Delmarva and I don’t think he should have ever been there.  He is tearing the cover off the ball and with the log jam of SS at Delmarva, moving him up makes sense to me.  This is actually something I think they should be doing right now but if they want to wait a few weeks, so be it.

Westburg:  Like Henderson, I don’t think he should be in Delmarva. His OpS is over 1000 and while he had warts coming into this season, he is still a mature college player who may need to be challenged more. The issue with moving him up with Henderson is that you still have the logjam issue.  But, I also wouldn’t mind either going to AA.  Henderson performed well at the camp last year, so you can make the argument that he saw that level of competition already.  I would really like to see both of these guys playing SS everyday.  This would also open it up for Servideo to play SS everyday as well.

Who else do you think should be considered for an early promotion?

1 down..few more to go.

Vavra has cooled off, so he may stay.

Henderson and Westburg need to move on.

Joey Ortiz is a beast: Speed, great hands and power. I watched him at NM State and he has done nothing but improve his skills and increase his strength since then. I can't wait to see him compete at the upper levels.

 Exciting stuff.  I don't know if any of these guys reach Baltimore next year but provided they do well in Bowie for the rest of the year they'll all be in Baltimore in 2022.  Next summer is looking to be a lot of fun.

Assuming we have a baseball season.

If they perform well and stay healthy. They will all be in Baltimore next year (and early) and some of them may be up here this year.

Just late enough to miss losing rookie eligibility.
