It’s like a 100% reversal in every way from the previous ownership. -

Westburg had 6 starts in the OF in 67 games in AAA in 2023 right before he was called up when there was a big logjam of IF at both the MLB and AAA levels. His OF flexibility was also definitely talked about by Orioles coaches that season. I don’t disagree with your point generally, but it was a bit more of a concerted effort of “does he have flexibility, maybe he can play in the OF too so we can figure out how to make this work now that his bat is MLB ready” than you are giving it credit for. The Orioles are already splitting Westburg’s attention between 2B and 3B and I think there’s almost a 0% chance they add more than that this season. He’s good at both positions but prior to the season said he’s really only comfortable at 2B. He’s very valuable at both positions. They might have even thought he didn’t take well to the OF in AAA, we don’t know. I think it’s possible that they revisit the OF flexibility once he feels comfortable at 3B if it makes sense with Mayo, but it won’t be midseason 2024 and is still pretty unlikely overall. If somebody is going to the OF, seems more likely that they try Mayo in RF at some point given Mayo’s arm and Westburg being superior to Mayo at 3B (even with Mayo’s improvements there). But I think they still want Mayo working on 3B now and they’ll make more of a decision on the OF this offseason after seeing how he progresses at 3B this year. -

I don't know, the echo every time they went to the lady in the dugout was atrocious. Some bad camera angles. The one advantage is 1080P, not much else.

If he becomes a full-time closer I think there are other things that are going to be much more visible and they likely aren't as flattering.
