Well you figure he rehabs, gets in some time in extended ST and goes to the minors for 5 games or so.

Probably puts him up here around May 1 if there are no setbacks..which just also happens to be at a point in the season where they gain the extra year of service time.

We get the extra year of service time as of April 18 (barring top 2 ROY).

I don't mind the rehab in AAA before he comes up, its more of the worry that in a week or two we will be reading the same that he isn't ready for games and is still hitting off a tee and light throwing but progressing nicely. 

Well I would suspect that we hear he is getting ABs at extended ST in 7-10 days.  He stays down there for about a week and then plays in Norfolk the last  week or 2 of April and then comes up.

I don't see any reason why, at this point they would not give him a full Spring Training's worth of at bats in Triple A.  I agree, late April or early May is the earliest we see him in Baltimore.

Goday was designated by the Twins. He’s a catcher that has hit .274/357 avg/OBP in the minors bit hasn’t hit yet in the bigs. Doesn’t have much power.

He seems like a worthy grab. 40% c/s, good defensively, greeting framing…what’s not to like?

To Rookie or not to Rookie.  Looks like Seattle (Rodriguez), Detroit (Torkelson and Greene), and the Rays (Lowe) are going to see if they can grab some extra draft picks with the new CBA rules.  How bad are the Orioles going to look when we watch these organizations reaping the benefits of the new rules?

I agree that it would look bad if Adley hadn't gotten hurt and still went to AAA, but unless you think the Orioles are faking Adley's injury, not sure what else they should have done.

Grayson.

 

I was frustrated at Grayson's placement / lack of promotions last year, for this very reason.

But at this point that's water under the bridge and he hasn't pitched at AAA at all.  O's have been consistent that they want all players getting some time at AAA.  Probably even more so the pitchers with the difference in the ball.  I have no problem with him starting at AAA.  Wish he would have started in AA last year and spent the second half in AAA though.

    • Soto has had 6 years in the majors. Only 2 of them with an ERA under 4 and he's averaged a 100 ERA+. He has a career FIP of nearly 4. A career WHIP of over 1.4. Why is that valuable? Yeah, he can go on dominant runs. But so could Bryan Baker.  That's worth clogging up a spot and not getting somebody more consistent and...well...better?
    • Taking a look at 2023 vs 2024 FANGRAPHS WAR, some interesting directional info.  (Acknowledging that WAR is not definitivve,  FG uses FIPERA for Pitcher WAR).  This is meant to highlight areas of opportunity not a deep dive on data.  Highlighted 5 key areas:   1) TOR/Ace role /Burns FA.  All other roles 2-6 are likely fine.  Bradish coming back in 2nd half of 2025 would be a boost but should not be counted on.   Going into 2025 w/o sourcing a 4 WAR type of replacement for Burns would be a huge miss.    Most important decision/move for 2025.  2) Need to solidify closer and BP which is hopefully Felix coming back strong but should not depend on 2023 dominance.  Need a deep pen with reliable depth in minors and assume more trade deadline reinforcements.   Plenty of good options here, spend $ smartly but don't depend solely on waiver claims.  3) Adley - none of Elias' 2024 calculus included AR's huge 2nd half dropoff.    If he does not come back strong, may have to re-think AR contribution and make up for any defecit in other positions.  If Gunnar is a 10 and Adley's a 4 WAR we are more than fine, should not assume Adley is a 5+WAR player.  4) Santander - How is he best replaced.  Elevate Heston and pair him with a RH platoon partner who can back-up all three OF postions.  Not an easy find but needs to be impactful - a RH bat, preferably a high OBP type- that player does not exist in the org in terms of 2025 readiness.     Supposedly that's why Mayo is so highly valued as a RH  bat which is why not developing him as an OFer is curious.  5) Jackson Holliday - Biggest upside story for 2025.  Expect to see major improvement and the type of bat the lineup needs.  Should be settled in, got to experience the post season without playing but a lot of the Elias' plan/process is JH becoming a very good player.   
    • I don't get the idea of not wanting Soto back. First of all, lets talk about money.  He probably gets around $6M in arb for 2025. 37 relievers made 6M or more in 2024. 56 made 4M or more.  A 1/6 deal for him isnt bad and its not a long term commitment, which is a huge plus. After his 2 awful outings after he got here, Soto appeared in 20 games. He threw 16.1 innings and had a 1.10 ERA. He gave up 1 homer, walked 4, 11 hits and struck out 20.  For the season, his ERA was a mediocre 4.42 but his FIP was 3.68, his K rate was over 11 and his HR rate was .68. The issue is the walks. He is still only 29 years old, has over 60 appearances each of the last 4 years (ie he's durable) and he has very good seasons in the past. Even last year, when his ERA was 4.62, his xERA was 2.79 and his FIP was 3.59. With his ability to get Ks and miss bats and the upside he has, taking the chance on him for 1/6 is a risk you would be foolish not to take.
    • Haha. Our reliever with the lowest FIP & WHIP and highest K/BB rate.
    • Akin is discussed above. Pretty sure he is out of options as of this year. But I am far from a roster nerd.  Cano and Felix do have options but they are not the type of guys you would option assuming they are performing at a high level, only if they struggle. We are not going to want to option them just to get through a bullpen day or manage rest. 
    • It's a tough question. Akin stunk/hurt in 2023, this year he was very good in medium/low leverage situations. Suarez is a starter *and* was effective in relief. I don't know, think I'd rather have Suarez, tbh.
