We heard Harvey had a setback and then he pitched in a game in Norfolk and gave up 4 runs in an inning.  Obviously he wasn’t right.

That may be true, but today's move has absolutely nothing to do with that.   It is just a procedural move.   Harvey was on the 10 day IL, now he is on the 60, to free up a 40 man spot for Barreda.   But he has been on the IL for 70 days so he could still be activated any day, just as he could have been before today's paper move.   The only difference is he is off the 40, but the Orioles have shown that when they need a 40 man spot they have no qualms about DFAing someone.

And Manny Barreda is making his MLB debut and will be 33 years old in October. It's been a long road for him to get to the major leagues. 

That is quite a Bbref stats page he has. https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=barred001man

Hope he gets a shot to actually pitch.

I guess Hunter Harvey will be carried on the 40 man roster this offseason, but will he ever pitch meaningful innings for the Orioles?  

I think he has a good chance of being DFA’d. I doubt they can work a trade for a guy who is injured 80% of the time. I don’t care how talented you are, if you cannot stay healthy, what does it matter? We need the roster spot for guys who can actually contribute to the team.

I'm not sure how healthy he's been but the only time he was truly impressive was when he first came up in 2019.   You could argue that he's never been as good since then even when he was able to get on the field.

Earlier this year I never would have thought it a possibility. But now, I think there is a very real chance Harvey might not get protected on the 40 man if it's between him and player that can stay healthy.

Chris Davis retiring might be what saves Harvey from being DFA-ed.

Who is Manny Bareda? What’s his claim to fame? Why did we want him instead of Knight?

My thought too. Who the heck is this guy?!??

Former 12th round pick from the Yankees, spent the season in Norfolk after signing as a MiLB free agent from Mexico. Stats have been, well, mediocre in AAA this season. 35 innings, 34 strike outs, 10 walks. 4.08 ERA and a 1.42 WHIP.

However, he has never been in the MLB. This could be his "gold watch," like Mickey Jannis. With that being said, who is excited to see Ryan Ripken during the final week?

I don’t have a problem with bringing him up, I like the idea of non-prospects being given an opportunity, I was just wondering if he had anything worth writing home about. I’d like to see Spencer Watkins again frankly, but sadly I think that’s not going to happen

Good story for Barreda. It’s what September is for. Harvey might be done. It seems like it would make sense to just 60 day Lopez and give someone else a cup of coffee.

    • Outside of any of the "snubs" losing out of any potential bonuses, I don't care. I'd almost rather see them getting a solid break mid season anyways. 
    • I think there is a better term than "angry" to describe some of the O's. Anger seldom results in anything positive. Now, playing with attitude is another thing. GH is certainly the "King" of attitude on this team, no one is going to beat him. I believe there are several position players that show attitude in different ways. Pitchers?? SP throw 90 or so pitches. They can't afford to display emotions or they would be worn out much earlier. They also can't afford to have the "deer in the headlights" look. Of the O's starters, I believe CP is in that world at present. It's mainly an experience and growth thing.  GR, IMO, has approved significantly in that department over the last year. 
    • On close examination of Kjerstad today (July 7), I hope he is not part of any trade package. This kid is a bull, with power potential that is off the charts.  He runs surprisingly well and that throw to the plate from left was very impressive, if a bit high. I can see him planted in left field for a long time, perhaps in a platoon with Hays the rest of the year, but eventually full time if he proves able to hit southpaws.
    • I like this idea better, but I am curious to what it would take to secure Mason Miller.
    • I totally get it.  It’s a huge risk vs. reward situation, but getting someone like him (if he’s still strong) or Skubal could make a major difference come October for you guys over the next three seasons.
    • IMHO it's not about whether Crochet is an "opener" or a reliever, it's the innings.  He's never thrown more than 65 innings (at college in 2019) in his entire college or pro career and stands at 105.1 today.  Let that sink in.  On top of that, there is Crochet's TJ surgery, where he missed all of 2022 and had multiple stints on the IL in 2023 as he was recovering, tossing a total of 25 IP. Does any of this mean he cannot throw double (130 IP) or triple (195 IP) his prior max?  No one can say for certain, but I'd think any reasonable person would agree that, at the very least, it's a far riskier proposition for someone like Crochet than a pitcher who has been a starter and has thrown 150+ IP before.  So, to recap: The most innings he's ever thrown was 65 IP in college (2019) After throwing 54 innings of relief for the White Sox in 2021, he missed all of 2022 with Tommy John surgery He followed up in 2023 by throwing a total of 25 innings of relief, as he dealt with a couple of IL stints recovering from TJ His first ever pro start came this season and he's been dynamite through 105.1 IP Elias and Sig are well aware of the risks and it will be interesting to see how it all shakes out.
