Two homers tonight now, five in the last three games.  

When I posted in this thread earlier today, I didn’t realize this was in the Orioles major league forum.   It really belongs over on the minor league forum, where a thread on Bannon was started today.   I suggest the mods should move this over there and merge it with the other thread (or just move it).
 

If you insist…

Still gotta DFA him in the offseason. .157 AVG. is he quick enough to play 2nd and turn the double play?  Does he have the arm strength for 3B. He’s a little guy that’s not really fast. 
 

To me he’s behind Urias, Martin, Leyba, McCoy, Vavra, Jones, and Grenier. I don’t even know where he gets ABs next year in AAA with Vavra and Grenier advancing.

I don't think this is the time to make a decision on whether Bannon is protected this fall.   Wait until after the season.  If he continues to surge he may be worth protecting.  If he don't he may not be.   Vavra has has injury problems and Grenier has trouble hitting.   The whole thing needs more time IMO.

Gotta treat Bannon like Baumann. Baumann’s overall product in Bowie this year wasn’t very good but it was clear he was working through his injury and looked like his old self by the end of his stint there. Bannon may hit well for the rest of the season and still end with a bad slash line. Who cares? If he sinks back into a slump that’s another story. Hopefully he can earn a promotion and get a shot before the infielders in Aberdeen and Bowie come through.

For some reason I thought he was already on the 40 man. He has to be one of the worst players to ever have his own thread. He’s 5 nothing. 100 nothing. And batting 100 nothing.

I agree.   Injuries may have hampered him, as CoC suggested.   Sometimes these guys come back from obliques and they’re not really ready.   So, let’s see how the rest of 2021 plays out.   If he hits 5 homers every three games from here on out, I will probably favor keeping him. ?

I don't see Grenier as worth protecting either.  Is a team going to keep Grenier on their team all season to add a utility IF to their system.  Guys like that are a dollar a dozen.

    • Wondering if they'll even play. 
    • She described a diving catch as a leaping catch. She just isn’t that good and shouldn’t be learning in the majors. 
    • I would be surprised if Bautista had the command he will need when he first comes back given his size
    • Erod- Miller helped me see my first playoff game live in my lifetime so I was good with that one!   But understand the concerns.    Wonder if Trace Bright would do it instead?   
    • – The Blue Jays, whose season is already on the brink, plan to place starter Yusei Kikuchi, catcher Danny Jansen, reliever Yimi Garcia, DH Justin Turner and outfielder Kevin Kiermaier on the trade block. Yet, they still want to make one last run with Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Bo Bichette. They should be staying until at least this winter, if not next summer. – The White Sox have had several teams also contact them about center fielder Luis Robert Jr., but with his struggles, they are considering hanging onto him into at least the winter since he’s under control through 2027. – The Chicago White Sox quietly engaged in brief contract extension talks with ace Garrett Crochet, but with no optimism towards reaching an agreement, the White Sox intend to trade him by the July 30 trade deadline. The White Sox have had 15 teams calling to express interest in Crochet, who is making just $800,000 and is under team control through 2026. The X-factor for suitors will be determining just how much Crochet can help them in the pennant stretch and October. He has already pitched 94 ⅓ innings as a first-year starter, 21 more than his entire career total entering the season, and the White Sox and Crochet already have a firm plan in place to greatly limit his workload in the second half. It’s quite possible that a team acquiring Crochet may have to offer a contract extension for him to lift those innings restrictions in the second half because of the potential of an injury risk. – The Los Angeles Dodgers have already made an offer to the White Sox for Crochet, but it was quickly rejected. The White Sox have informed teams they are seeking young prospects with enormous upside. – The best reliever on the trade market will be Tanner Scott of the Marlins, with Mason Miller of the A’s expected to stay put.

    • Who have we been able to help with their control tho? Cano is the only example I can think of. Hall? Not really, at least not enough to start. McDermott? Povich? Still walking too many guys. 
    • It's possible but considering he needed a follow-up procedure I think it unlikely.
