Maybe Oriole fedora night   That would be a good promotion.

If there is no work stoppage. Promotions to the O's from AAA. 1)  Adley on opening day or two weeks into to the  season depending on the new CBA. 2) Grayson by the 1st of May. 3) Stower

I think all are reasonable expectations dependent on health and performance. 

Completely dependent on health and performance like anything else.  Westburg and Hall up by Aug. 1 is not a reasonable expectation.  A lot would need to go right for that to happen.  

I'd like to see the O's win 100 games next year.  MAKE IT HAPPEN!

It is absolutely reasonable. 
 

Nothing more has to go right for them to be here than any other prospect..health and performance.  Both of them have shown they can perform well in the upper minors, albeit in SSS.  Westburg didn’t have any health issues last season and I don’t remember hearing about stuff from college.  
 

Hall has to stay healthy but if he is, chances are he’s pitching at a high enough level to warrant a call Up this year.

Wow, look at wildcard being reasonable.

I hope all of you realize G-Rod will be on a strict innings limit next year.  No whining when they shut him down early and he's out of the ROY running.

It's okay. Adley can still win the award. As long as it's an Oriole. LOL

4) DL Hall and Westburg by the 1st of August.

Make it happen.

 

Why June 1 for Stowers?

I’d like to see it, if they justify it with their play.   Adley already has with his play at Norfolk last year.   The rest have things left to prove in the minors.   The timing of Stowers’ promotion may depend on how the OFs in front of him are performing.

You and I seem to consistently disagree on expectations of Hall for this year, and that's fine.  If Hall is healthy, I fully expect him to dominate AAA hitters and receive a call-up to the majors by the end of the year.  We won't come to agreement there.

Westburg I agree is a bit ambitious, but not unreasonably so.  I assume he starts at AA, he'll probably need a quick promotion to AAA and then several solid months there to force a promotion.  Which is possible, but we'll have to wait and see.

They would have to perform very well over two levels.  Both likely to start in Bowie.  Maybe Hall is in Norfolk.  Things don't get easier as you rise up the system.  Hall could struggle at Triple A.  Westburg too and probably destined to spend the first half of the season in Bowie.  They will get here eventually.  But Aug. 1 is aggressive projection for two guys who have barely played above High A ball.

Not sure has to be in AAA to warrant a call up.  That being said, even if you want them both there, if the minor league season starts at the right time this coming year and if they both perform well for a few months, they could get elevated to AAA by June.  That’s certainly not Out of the realm of possibilities.

At that point, you are an injury and a few hot weeks away from being called up.

I think it will be harder for Hall because they will want to build up his innings and maybe they don’t do that at the ML level to end the year but I don’t see why not.  
 

It’s not like either is blocked by someone good.

You are on the right path here.  Westburg and Hall both staying healthy and dominating Bowie and Norfolk to the extent that they warrant a midseason promotion is not out of the real of possibilities.  But is it likely?  I don't think so.  I worry about performance with Westburg (he has initally struggled at both Frederick and Bowie) and health with Hall.  I also do not see Elias rushing Hall given his lack of experience in the upper minors.  Just look at how GrayRod was handled. 

I think sometimes we confuse what we would like to see happen and what is reasonable to expect to happen.

      What about Tomoyuki Sugano for 2025?

      I'm certainly not "fixated" on this. The real issue is the budget. How high will Rubenstein be willing to grow the payroll?

      Cool, nice work there.   So? Are we owed a large market? Does DC not deserve their own team? Should the fans of Baltimore just become Redskins fans and not tried to get their own team when the Colts left?  (sorry to bring up football again but come on, that fits). I laid it all out a couple months ago, MLB has more teams bringing home the hunk of metal than other sports since 2000.  The competitive balance is fine.  It's harder?  Yea?  OK it's harder.

      The Cowboys have an owner with deep pockets. I agree 100% … There is some cap manipulation that happens. At the end of the day they have a $255 million limit they are required to operate under. The Dodgers, Yankees, Red Sox, etc can decide each year how much they want to add to the luxury tax fund as opposed to not being able to fit a potential move under the cap. Here are the 2024 payrolls for the NFL and MLB   https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/2024/04/03/mlb-team-payrolls-2024-highest-lowest-mets/73139425007/ Highest $305 million vs $60 million  https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/cap/_/year/2024/sort/cap_maximum_space Highest $259.5 million vs $217 million these numbers will likely get tighter once they make additions before the trade deadline.  If you can’t see the difference I’m just wasting my time. The biggest driving force in MLB beyond the ability of some to spend lavishly is the tv markets. The club controls so much of their tv revenue that it’s an unfair game. The moved that created the Orioles didn’t have much of an effect on the Senators tv market which was likely nonexistent then. Plus MLB is allowing contract manipulation like Othani’s contract. Instead of $700 divided by length 10 years, Somehow he only counts as like $46 million which is laughable. Plus they are paying $85 million in luxury tax fees in 2024.    The Orioles were a large market team when the Expos moved to DC. They could afford to spend with the Yankees, Red Sox , and Blue Jays. Could the Orioles afford to pay $85 million in luxury tax fees? Could the Yankees? I know the answer to both.  What grounds ? Who cares ? The impact was astronomical …It made it very difficult to compete in the AL East without tank a thon! It split their tv market in half. Obviously MLB papered over that long enough to get an agreement done.    They turned a large market team into 2 small/mid market teams. The Orioles and Nationals payrolls combined place them only 11th in baseball. Obviously they could afford to spend more. But it’s doubtful either will ever be top 10 for more than a season  or two as they try to hang onto a window.

      Thanks for the detailed explanation of all of the issues.  Sounds like a mess.
