Meanwhile the current IF crop is making it easy to wait for the young 'uns:

Mateo .381
Martin .409
Urias .385
Gutierrez .360

What are you talking about?  Those are great averages!

That's what I'm talking about.
Makes an enjoyable ride before the younger IF Cavalry arrives.

He cleared waivers. Surprised & disappointed for him actually, wanted to see him play more. Stewart cleared too. Top farm system in baseball, shocked more aren’t biting (at least with Stewart).

Are we playing 'Price is Right' rules with this?  If so, we all bust so far.  Otherwise, @leftygroveis in the early lead.

So with Nevin up with the big league team, Guti will be competing with Bannon primarily. Something tells me we haven't seen the last of Kelvin just yet. He didn't get consistent ABs up here so never really got established like he did at the end of last year.

If I were the O's, I'd see if he can play some 2B just for kicks. We know he can play a little 1B in a pinch. He needs to add some versatility. And as long as Vavra is out, I kind of don't care if he steals ABs from Jones at 2B. Anyway, they probably won't do this, but it seems to me he'd be pretty capable over there.

These are guys that couldn't make it one of the worst teams in the majors.  Not sure they were thought of as real prospects for years.

We are fortunate that most of our top farm talent doesn’t need to be on the 40 man roster.   Even guys in AAA like Rutschman and Stowers.  Really, only Hall among our top prospects.

You know Mike Elias is pining to find a job for Rio Ruiz.    How about coaching?

Gutierrez cleared waivers and will join the Tides.

Had a homer today and batting .317. With Urias struggles, I’d like to see Guterriez back up at 3b, Mateo at SS and Urias/Odor at 2b, best defensive infield.

Also, he’s playing 1b today as an fyi.

Another 2 hits so far tonight, up to .327!

Leave him alone and let him have some AAA success and develop a bit.

Disagree. He’s superior defense over Urias at 3b. 

[NelsonCruuuuuz]

3 for 4 today, now batting .345. I feel like he was hot in ST and they didn’t give him consistent playing time and got cold.
