Both of these guys look like they are laboring running to first and Santander was slow going to that fly ball on Saturday.  Hyde acknowledged this in the post game news conference as well.  I appreciate both of them gutting it out but if they are hurt they should heal and come back 100% healthy.  I am sure they are aware of people labeling them as injury prone but I don't think it does anyone any good for them to play injured.  I think Hayes re-tweaked his hamstring when he made that leaping catch his second game back from the IL.  If Diaz is healthy bring him up with McKenna.  Platoon McKenna with DJ Stewart until the All Star break and maybe Hayes and Santander can be ready to play by then.  The jury is in for me with Stewart but if these guys are hurt he can fill a role for the rest of the first half of this season.

Well, it's because they are. It's nothing personal, and they both are good ball players when they are healthy, but they just can't keep themselves healthy. Some guys' bodies just don't hold up.

I agree that Jones needs a lot of work before he will be a good major league 2B. But his bat may help him get the majors as a LFer. I still consider McKenna and Diaz prospects.  McKenna is hittin

I think there's a difference between a guy who gets injured repeatedly and a guy whose ability to perform is weakened because he plays with an injury that's not yet full healed. A guy can be both, obv

The parallels between Austin Hays and Nolan Reimold are impossible (at least for me) to ignore.  Both very good all around talents with all star potential, and Hays like Reimold can't stay healthy enough to establish himself as one of the best young outfielders in MLB.

I think this is pretty  close to happening.   I agree with Hays and Santander to the IL but I think it will be Jones in left and McKenna in right.  They are both hitting pretty well at AAA.   Diaz has not played at AAA yet but will probably join the Tides  on Tuesday.

Jones has been playing a lot of left of late at Norfolk.

This seems like the move to make.

Good because he's no 2B.  

The OF was a source of excitement for me this winter.  Now, Hays and Santander keep right on proving they can't stay healthy.  Mountcastle and Stewart are not OFs.  Does anyone still believe in McKenna or Diaz?  And then there's poor Heston.  <insert Yaz comment here for those who want to gripe.>  Amazing how we went from too many good OFs to one, and that's the guy we all thought was not very good.  I hope ME doesn't respond by drafting Frelick.

I still consider McKenna and Diaz prospects.  McKenna is hitting a little better at AAA.

I thought over the winter that Mullins was a starting CFer  off what he did last year and him giving up hitting right handed.

There are a lot of outfielders in the O's system that should not push Elias to select Frelick.  If he does that it will be for other reasons IMO.   I want  one of the high school SS, Rocker, Leiter or Davis.

I think there's a difference between a guy who gets injured repeatedly and a guy whose ability to perform is weakened because he plays with an injury that's not yet full healed. A guy can be both, obviously, and at some point a player (Mickey Mantle comes to mind) has so many and serious  chronic injuries that he's got to play with injuries or he won't ever play at all.

Santander OPS by month:

April .551

May .924

June .567

He's been pretty much a non-factor for the team this year after his breakout season last year. I still think he'll bust out eventually, but the ankle probably isn't doing him any favors.

But Mantle hit while playing hurt.  Hays and Santander have yet to prove they can do that.

      The on field product has the talent to win and bring out fans now.  I’m not saying not to spend more money.  Your first paragraph I agree with. The new owner assumes all the “debts” leftover. Ultimately it’s their responsibility to repair it.    They screwed up big time with their pricing. If this team rebounds and gets in the DS the excitement will pick up. Only the last week did they have any momentum after months of losing it.

      That’s a very good point, but then you have the question whether you would be willing to give up McDermott plus for erceg, and that’s an easy trade to make. Plus, the athletics need almost everything, they wouldn’t want Hays But we could’ve found something to satisfy them.

      IMO, this mindset ("new chapter") is part of the problem. We can't act like the past and the terrible relationship that the org had with it's customer base does not matter or have a carryover effect. Whether the org calls itself "new" or not IMO is irrelevant. The issue is whether or not it will operate in enough meaningful different ways. If the org wants more of it's market to be engaged it is going to have to raise the bar to championship expectations and invest more in the on-field product. That would be different from the past and would indeed reflect that something is "new".

      All of you guys talking about empty seats and an unengaged fanbase - did you not see the post showing over 41K in attendance, more than in MIL or HOU?  Are those fan bases also unengaged or disinterested? This is much ado about absolutely nothing.

      I think at this point its just semantics regarding what a successful deadline looked like.  Elias upgraded three positions - SP, 2 RP.  Could there have been bigger upgrades?  Sure, at a bigger cost.  I think it was sufficient.  What has killed the team is the hitting.  If this team had hit like its capable of, and Soto, Eflin, and Dominguez all pitched exactly as they have, we'd all be feeling a lot better about the team, and probably lauding Elias for those three pickups and what a great boost they were at the deadline.  But we aren't hitting - at all - and I don't know what he could have done at the deadline to fix that. Already agreed that the draft strategy must evolve. I don't agree it was a bad strategy to do what they did so far, but it does have to evolve, just as the organization as a whole has evolved.  And I think it will.

      I don't mean this as any kind of personal slight toward you. Please do not take this as such. But people/fans showed how they felt about this team who has been a loser for almost 4 months. And largely continued to hedge (beyond the Eflin addition) at the deadline. I bet you who did not have a bunch of empty seats for their playoff game yesterday .... San Diego. IMO it is because of the effort that they put in to continue to engage the fanbase. You can't sell people on the "homegrown" stars idea and no need to add a lot of outside talent. And then some of those "homegrown stars" who were so hyped flop. And then not extend the ones who turn into stars. That communicates a lack of investment by the org. Now when you add that up in the economy/2024 inflation and combine that with all of the other entertainment choices that people have in 2024; things like this will happen. Empty seats during a playoff game = an unengaged/unexcited fan base. The org has to own much of this.
