Is in in the Ironbirds lineup tonight. I think this is Jahmai's first rehab start. I'm interested to see how he does.

So, he's hitting well at Norfolk in a very SSS.  The O's have... nobody really at 2nd base now.  Doesn't it make sense to give Jones a shot in Baltimore and move up one of the infielders from Bowie to Norfolk?  

I actually think Leyba may get the first crack at the 2B job in Baltimore. More gut feel than anything. That said, I agree with you that I’d like to see one of the two promoted and playing by the end of the month.

I would jump Vavra over him personally but yes, give him a shot.  It’s pretty crazy that this team seemingly has better options for so many positions in the minors and yet they don’t want to do anything about it.  As a fan, it’s extremely irritating.

They can't even use the service time as an excuse for most of these guys.

That’s the thing.  These aren’t guys where service time should be an issue.  They aren’t elite guys.  You bring them up and give them their chance.

Its just so frustrating.  In a season where winning doesn’t matter and you have several players showing you that they are ready, get them up here and let them gain that experience.  
 

It would be one thing if you were just trying to get the MLers playing time for trade purposes but many of the players ahead of these guys suck, so it’s not like they can be traded anyway.

I agree. If they bring them up now they may actually find some solutions that they were not expecting. 

 

They could replace Franco, Wilkerson, and M Harvey and really not miss a beat.

I like to think of our starting pitching prospects as coming in two waves. Same thing with our infield (minus 1B). The first wave (in no particular order) being Jones, Vavra, Grenier, Dorrian, Leyba, Bannon, Martin, McCoy. The second wave is the point I'd like to emphasize. That's Henderson, Westburg, Ortiz, Hernaiz, Hall, Servideo. I suppose the third wave is Hernandez. The point is that the second wave is the one that is critically important to our rebuild and will probably form our 2B/SS/3B for a long time to come. And Ortiz/Henderson/Westburg are not terribly far away. That makes it all the more important that we use this lost year to get the first wave prospects to majors as soon as they look ready because that window for them will not stay open very long in the grand scheme. Vavra needs time in AAA. Dorrian needs to prove he can hit lefties (and work on his throws). Bannon and Martin are obviously injured. But I don't see much reason to not give Jones and Leyba an extended audition. Jones' defense is obviously a worry, and we don't know enough about Leyba. But this is the time to see how what we have with those two....in my opinion.

Btw, someone mentioned that maybe Leyba would get a chance first…Leyba  could play third as well and it’s not like Franco is doing anything.

As crazy as it seems, I think Franco could build some small trade value. I don’t see any reason why he couldn’t be platooned, though.

He could..he would have to get really hot and show teams that he could be a useful bat off the bench.

A little humility as a side note. Some time ago I was suggesting that we should DFA Ruiz and call up McCoy. While they did DFA almost immediately after that post, they called up Wilkerson instead of McCoy. McCoy then proceeded to dive into an absolutely miserable slump. I also was pumping up Vavra, who has cooled off considerably. I think my observations about infielders should come with an asterisk for the time being.

      5 losses in a row. Baltimore...we have a problem. Thread revisit...O's have no way to win the WS unless...

      By Roy Firestone · Posted

      I believe this is truly the "all in " year...not next year or the year after. After this year, it's conceivable we could lose Burnes, and Santander, and that would mean two of the best and(among) the most important players on the team. No Burnes(he'll command at least 30 million a year and likely more) would maybe give us ONE solid pitcher in Grod, and our outfield will be in flux. No, I think THIS is the year the Orioles have to win, and that means some dramatic, possibly risky trades at the break yield some significant upgrades to our beleaguered pitching both with starters and the pen. If we don't get it this year, we may never have a potential post season team in the next couple of years..not at this rate.

      Keith Law has O's taking Tommy White at #22 in latest mock draft

      By RZNJ · Posted

      Luke Dickerson, SS, Morris Knolls HS, Rockaway, N.J. There are shades of Jackson Merrill and Sammy Stafura with Dickerson as a northeast/mid-atlantic prep shortstop who has received a lot of late helium this spring. He’s an offense-oriented righthanded hitter with a background as a talented hockey player. He might fit better at second base or center field, but teams like his hit/power combination enough to take him inside the first two rounds. He had a solid showing at the draft combine last week, as well.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By terpoh · Posted

      As the bluejays continue to fade, I cant help but think that they would be a trade fit if they decide to sell.  Specifically Gausman and Berrios. Gausman is under contract for 2 seasons after this one, and Berrios has 4 years with an opt out after 2 years. So you would essentially have both of those guys for 2.5 years which would be a big boost for 2024, and the coming years with Burnes likely gone and Bradish out for 2025. They are both on hefty contracts (for Orioles standards) but with our payroll and new ownership group you would think that wouldnt be a huge problem. Not sure what the asking price would be for one of, or both, of those guys but worth looking into. I know its hard to look at trading within the division, especially what would potentially be a "blockbuster" type of  deal but I just dont see a ton of options on the trade market right now outside of the White Sox, A's and Rockies and none of those teams can match what the bluejays have to offer.

      He was all of that yes, but nothing close to Gunner so far or Cal's best year, and you also forgot about Eddie. not to mention Palmer in the 70,s

      I don't trust Suarez at all.   He seems to lose command quickly.

      I sort of don't get Elias's plan

      By milbest77 · Posted

      I think we have to remember that Johnny Angelos hired Elias and the purpose was to cut payroll. Any halfway competent GM could hit on the Adley pick (or Witt if he went that route). I do give him props for the Gunnar and Westy picks, too. But, go back and watch Elias’ introductory press conference. He said the goal was to build an elite pipeline of talent. At no point were the words “win a World Series” ever uttered. Probably no correlation there, but interesting non-choice of words nonetheless. Elias won my admiration forever by getting rid of Chris Davis. Obviously, we still have to pay him, but just getting him out of the building was gigantic IMO.  I also can’t help but wonder if new ownership wants their own guy. I know Rubenstein has publicly said Elias is the guy, but we don’t know what is going on behind the scenes. Not sure if that is good or bad, but there’s the old saying “a new broom sweeps clean.”
