My Initial take:
Looks like Elias is going with someone who can move quickly through the minors and be able to get and produce at the major league level quickly. While scouting takes on Cowser are a bit all over the place, he's a three year producer even though his conference is not very strong. He appears to be a high OBP guy with some pop and speed and even if Mullins is still center, he would like real good in Camden Yards spacious left field.
He appears to b a lower risk guy thoug
That particular combination has been very common in corner outfielders, 1B, and DH. Some guys who hit 25 HRs for the Orioles and meet the passable avg/below avg defender include:
Larry Sheets
Don Baylor
Jay Gibbons
Mike Young
Nelson Cruz
Mark Trumbo
Trey Mancini
Bobby Bonilla
Luke Scott
Armas did not walk often (4.7% career walk rate) and Kjerstad should be a guy who walks significantly more as he demonstrates MLB power (I think he could be 8-11%).
I'd hate to see that. He's been a purveyor of ineptitude and disappointing finishes since he's taken that job, it'd be a shame to see them make a move.
