If Franco goes on the IL today will Jones be called up to the O's?    Jones would play 2B.  Moving  Leyba and Valaika to  3B,  Urias at SS.  I am thinking that if Jones is promoted he plays rather than sits.

I see Graffanino has been promoted from Bowie to Norfolk maybe to take Jones place.

Bannon is on rehab assignment at Aberdeen and he played last night so he is not on his way to California.

Jones is OPSing .866 at Norfolk and he's only 23.  He was a high draft choice.  He's had trouble finding a defensive position but he has some speed and some power.  Sounds like a prospect to me.  Hope

Learned behavior from rooting for the Orioles in your era.

Why on earth does a team that clearly doesn't care about winning care if they have a backup SS? If Urias gets injured just play Player X there for the rest of the game and then call up someone else.

Good observations.  And really, they need to drop Franco - regardless of his health, imo.  I don't want Leyba at 2nd anyway, and I think playing him at 3rd is a fair solution for the time being.  So even if Jones makes some errors, he may be helping the D just by moving Leyba to 3B.  I realize that's just a rationalization for playing Jones, but we don't have much to lose by giving him a try and see if he rises to the opportunity.

Jones played last night as well so I if he is coming up I would think he would have been not playing Thursday night for Norfolk.  The good news is he is in Charlotte so he could get a flight out of there instead of having to drive from Norfolk to a major airport hub.

What are you talking about?  You can fly direct from Norfolk to LA.

I would like to see this happen, but I think it is unlikely. They will probably figure out a way to keep Wilkerson.

I think it take 3 days to clear waivers and he was DFA'd on June 30.   So he shouldn't be available for recall until the 4th.

Also it does not explain why they promoted Graffanino to Norfolk.

I am not saying I know that Jones is being call up but it fits better that Wilkerson.

I don’t think we’ve seen the last of Wilkerson, the King of the up-and-down guys, but I am quite excited to see Jones, despite the comments about his defense. I’d like to see Bannon, too, though, and I wonder if that is in the plans?

I’m just still in shock that we somehow got something for Alex Cobb. 

That's how desperate teams are for pitching talent. Even a guy like Cobb can return a little something in a trade if a team thinks he might have something left in the tank. 

Cobb has a weird stat line this year with a 5.09 ERA, but a 2.65 FIP in 53 innings pitched. And Cobb pitches against the O's on Saturday.

What doesn’t amaze me is how sometimes guys magically grit out a year without injuries in a contract year. I really don’t remember Cobb pitching for us other than one of his first starts at DET where he fell apart after 3 IP.

It's those magical blisters that show up after Cobb signs a free agent contract for big money.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By OsFanSinceThe80s · Posted

      Maybe the Orioles could trade Norby as part of a package to the Mariners to land a pitcher. I don't think the Mariners are going to be eager to part with any established veteran pitchers, but Elias might as well do his due diligence and ask.

      What makes Basallo so untouchable?

      By GoldGlove21 · Posted

      If you start penciling in our top prospects into 2025 and 2026 lineups it starts to look stupid good. One of the problems with trading HUGE prospects for players with a couple of years of control is the price tag to keep them. So we have to pay a huge prospect burden just to pay a huge salary. A replacement for the prospect adds a cost and the extension of the SP adds a cost. Personally, I would hold on to the top prospects and trade from the rest. If I did trade a top guy I would want 3+ years of team control on that SP. But... if Bradish and Kremer are not hurt, we are not having this conversation IMO. We are adding a reliever or two and maybe a RH bat.

      So if we're being honest he had one bad week, right? The last 7 days are included in the last two weeks.

      The question was asked somewhere of the Rangers fans, whether they were fine with a terrible season this year if they won the World Series last season. The answer is of course yes it’s OK to have a terrible season in the year after winning a World Series, especially given that that’s exactly what is happening now. I would like to be the Cardinals or the Rays, who have an excellent team every single year, avoid stupid free agent contracts, trade wisely, spend wisely, and draft very well.  With that in mind, as long as as we don’t empty our Farm for rentals, or do stupid Davies-for-Parra trades in a “win everything this season and damn the future,” attitude, I don’t care. When the Jesuit missionaries discovered how to get quinine, which cures and prevents malaria, from the bark of the Chinchona tree, they always planted five trees, in the shape of a cross, for every one they harvested for its bark. So, whoever we trade, we have to acquire quality and quantity replacements for whomever is departing. With that guideline in mind, I don’t care who they trade.

      Melanie Newman: Bautista possibly back for September/October?

      Yes, because Bradish's sprain happened in the spring and they did the same thing.

      How many deals show a top-10 overall (in all of baseball) type prospect being traded for a SP. Now, look at the names of those pitchers and compare it to what is out there now. The Orioles may one day need to deal a top-3 guy in their system, but the return has to be someone like Verlander on Scherzer with at least 2 more full seasons of control after the trade deadline season is complete. I do not think there are 30 number ones in MLB, but I would need one to deal 6-seasons of team control at a premium position.
