I'm surprised by the DFA, but since my hopes of seeing someone exciting get the 40-man spot are dashed, I'm not hoping the opening in Norfolk at least gets Adley ABs in Triple-A and that much closer to the Majors. 

I don't think AAA is any closer to the majors than AA when it comes to Adley.

I don't think anyone predicted a DFA.

Of course he might clear.

Never been a fan but his defense improved and much worse on 40 man, puzzling. 
 

Since the Os DFA-Ed Rodgers, he’s had two great starts in AAA for the Nats. I feel like they cut bait with him way too soon giving his surgery.

I think Frobby posted once that a pretty significant group that make the majors spend very little time there.

So a five year (at least) career isn't bad at all.

Put it this way: Sisco was the 61st pick in the draft.   Of the 56 players picked in that spot, only six have had more at bats in the majors than Sisco.   One of those was Josh Bell, who for some reason slipped to 61st but received a $5 mm bonus to sign.    

So, I’d call Sisco a disappointment but not a bust.

He was an old school overslot guy like you don't see anymore.

Back when an actual first round talent could be pried away from a college commitment by throwing stacks of 100's at him.

I’m more surprised of the addition of Thomas Eschelman for the start than I am the DFA of Sisco. Moves like this make me reconsider getting myself invested in following baseball. Eschelman has a 6+ ERA and will completely bomb up here and everyone knows it meanwhile there are other options in the organization who worked hard and have gotten positive results and are being passed over all so that the ML team stays as uncompetitive as possible. It’s one thing to rebuild and intentionally tank in theory but when it’s so obvious that losing is the actual goal and moves are made with the explicit intention of losing it’s just bleh...doesn’t feel good as a fan. It’ll be cool when they’re winning again but this is type of crap is bad for baseball.

    • 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.
    • 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. 
    • 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 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.”
