Shorebirds lineup tonight

The Delmarva juggernaut keeps rolling with 17 runs. 10 walks in the game for Shorebird batters, 10 strikeouts. So now that is 30 walks vs 22 K's since the 2021 kids were promoted from Florida. Early next week I'll be floating on a catamaran in the Agean sea, and won't be thinking about such things, but for today, it feels good, especially after watching Herr Fried render our major league team neutered, and now I have to stop this run on sentence. 

You beat me to most of this...

Since the 2020-21 draft players arrived from the FCL:

Tues: Del 10, Frd 1
Wed: Del 3, Frd 1
Thu: Del 11, Frd 9
Fri: Del 17, Frd 1

41 runs in 33 offensive innings the last 4 days.  The @shorebirds have drawn 30 BB in these 4 games and have a .435 team OBP this week.

This is a SSS but Mike Elias can be proud of this group he has put together so far.

Yeah, it’s quite a debut for this draft group, and Cowser and Norby aren’t even hot yet.

Not to be  wet blanket, but it should be noted that this has all been against a terrible Fredericksburg team.

What’s funny is the first 4 innings they had this lineup/team together they were getting no hit.  Just crushing it since.

You can tell the heavy use of drafting position players is paying off. There are very few “non prospect” types getting significant playing time with the full season teams currently. Bowie and Delmarva are stacked with prospects. 
 

Next year’s OD Delmarva team will be interesting. It should have lots of international signings that are in the FCL right now. Hopefully, Kjerstad too. 

[AnythingO's]

Next spring, assuming he is healthy, would Kjerstad go to Delmarva or Aberdeen?

[Filmstudy]

I noticed Ryne Ogren was in the lineup for Delmarva.  He's 24 and an infielder who converted to C this season.  Here is his minor league record:

He looks to me like a Willy Yahn type player the organization can move to any level to fill a gap.  Assuming Creed Willems hits in the FCL, would we expect to see him in Delmarva this season?

[Just Regular]

Next two weeks roadtrip to Salem and Carolina both 1st place better test, agree probably no accident this year's draftees were "ready" for the FredNats, just like Chris Sale needed that one extra rehab so he could return to Orioles-Rangers.   Definitely just coincidences.

I would think Delmarva just to get his feet wet, and absent a catastrophic beginning, move to Aberdeen by May.

Are the O's going to have to grab guys off the waiver wire to complete their minor league pitching staffs?  Trying to keep an open mind, but has such an extreme drafting strategy every worked?

You can pick up free agent minor league pitchers no problem at all.

The O's won't lack for bodies for the rotations.

Pitching is really hard to keep healthy and develop.  So if Elias wants to go with all bats then trade for pitching, I’m ok with that. I just want him to take the top bats.

They’ve drafted plenty of pitchers, just not in the early rounds.   So, they’ll have bodies.  Delmarva is 3rd in its league in ERA despite the fact that Elias hasn’t drafted early.   

[sportsfan8703]

Well the Angels drafted all pitchers with their 20 draft selections. I’m sure one of them will make their way over here this offseason.
