Don’t players have to be in the AAA roster to protect them from the milb portion of the rule 5 draft?  That could be why we saw these three get promoted. 

No, they can be assigned in the offseason to the AAA roster, they need not actually play in AAA to be protected in the AAA portion of the Rule 5 draft.

That would also indicate they are not going on the 40.

Of the three, I think Grenier might be protected. I could see him being selected and kept for his glove. I’m not sure they would keep him on the 40 along with Martin, Urias, Mateo, Jam Jones and Bannon. Would you rather have Bannon or Grenier? Bannon or Gutierrez for that matter? 

Lebron’s command is not great, but a nice k rate. I do not think he’ll be on the 40. Dorrian, I do not think he is protected on the 40. 

They could have easily added them to the AAA roster after the World Series. No need to do it now to protect them from minor league R5. This is more information, data collection, to make those decisions.

      2024 MLB Draft Chat

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      Picking at 22 and 32 we have a chance to nab some guys with resumes. Benge, Brecht, Honeycutt, Amick, White, Culpepper, and one of the NCAA C if we want. Hopefully we can get two of those guys when we pick. Developing pitching and keeping it healthy is hard. With our recent history with bats it might be good to keep growing them. Benge and White/Amick would be ideal. They could be real close to Bowie this time next year.

      O's Getting Hosed, All Star Reserves

      Hopefully, Santander is Tuck’s replacement. He is worthy, and his hard work should be rewarded if there is room.  Kimbrel would have been nice, but Clay Holmes, when rested and healthy, has much better stuff. I know the numbers are poor for him at the moment, but he is nasty. Kimbrel is a gutty vet who used to be incredibly tough. His selection this year would have been about his career and legacy. That is not a popular take on this board, so be it. Westburg and Mountcastle can use the time off. Both are supposed to be fairly banged up at the moment. O’Hearn is just another guy I would have loved to see make it. A grinder, who exemplifies the blue collar fan base of Baltimore. A great story, but mostly a platoon guy.

      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.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By chipster22 · Posted

      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.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      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.
