I want to make my own position clear.  I would like to see Rutschman brought up right now.   I think that would be the best for his development and for the team, despite his struggles last week.

Will be utterly stupid that he will be 24 1/2 when he is most likely called up.  Man I wonder how good Vlad Jr will be when he is Adleys age

The best hitter in baseball and Vlad Jr. already led the AL in OPS+ last year.

Meanwhile in a week from now, we'll still be hearing the same update about how Rutschman is practicing well and is on pace to start playing in minor league games soon.

There is big difference between a guy signing at 16 and getting into professional baseball and a college drafted catcher.

This is true, but he still has a point.  It is taking AR entirely too long to get to the majors.  And a decent amount of that isn't his fault, but still.

Literally none of it is his fault. If the Orioles we’re trying to win, he’d have been called up in 2020.

Aberdeen is home the week of 4/26-5/1, Bowie is home 5/3-5/8 then he can join Norfolk at home from 5/10 until he is called up.

The schedule couldn't be designed any better to give him stepping stones to play into AAA shape if that is what they want to do.

Whether you want to look at 4/26 to 5/8 as rehab or a second spring training, that seems to be the direction they are leaning.

As i speculated, he will be in Aberdeen this week

Along with DL Hall!

He had 139 minor league at bats in the minors before 2020.  37 above low A and we should have put him in the majors in a short season Covid year when 60 games gave him a full year of service?

I’m pretty sure that’s not what I said. I said if we were trying to win, he’d have been on the team in 2020.

If the orioles were trying to win in 2020 they’d have brought in a major league catcher, not turned the catching job over to a guy who hadn’t even played in double-a.

He was the player of the year in college. It's not like he never faced good competition.

Either way, it's a dumb argument that's driven by dumb baseball rules instead of who should be on major league teams.

      The tiebreakers are weird because we could get 2 wins vs Tigers/Twins and clinch the playoff spot but could also get 3 wins and not make the playoffs.

      Nope.  Too many years.  I agree with giving him the QO and letting him walk.  I might entertain a 2-3 year deal, but that's the most I'd go.

      Yes I should have said by inter division we hold tie breaker on both if head to head.  3 way tie we would finish ahead of Tigers but behind Twins but still get in.   So the magic number is really 5 but with asterisk on that because it could be 4 with the right 2 wins vs Tigers or Twins.

      Who is going to end up the best career catcher? Wieters or Rutschmann.

      By Witchy_Chick · Posted

      Whatever seems to be possibly ailing Adley, IMO looks like it only affects him when hitting.  He sprang up outta his crouch like a Jack-in-the-Box and hustled for that foul pop/bunt yesterday and did not look like he was suffering any ill effects. But what do I know?  🤔🤣

      Wouldn’t even consider it. I wouldn’t offer anything more than the QO

      Adley and it’s not particularly close. I’m not writing off Adley because of a second half slump.

      A look ahead to the 2025 payroll

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      This season is far from over but that doesn't mean we can't walk and chew gum at the same time. This is going to be a very interesting offseason. The Os have a lot of spots likely secured for 2025 already and yet there is plenty of uncertainty as well. Barring a trade, these guys are definitely on the team next year: Adley, Gunnar, Holliday, Mayo*, Kjerstad, Westburg, Cowser, Urias, Eflin, GRod, Kremer, Felix, Perez, DC, Rogers and Cano.  That is 16 of your 26 man roster. The salaries for those 16 players will total around $46M, give or take. With those 16 players, you have your entire starting IF (including C), 2 OFers, 3 or 4 starting pitchers, 4 or 5 relievers (depending on Rogers) and your key bench guy. *Mayo potentially could start in the minors since he has looked  bad this year but its a SSS and I think they are committed to him and Im not sure going to the minors is going to be some major help for him.  But he will be on the active roster at some point next year. The Os also have the ability to keep (meaning they are under team control...salary estimates following player) Cedric Mullins (8.5M), Mountcastle (5.5M), OHearn (8M option), G Soto (6M), Dominguez (8M option...has 500K buyout), Mateo (3.2M), Akin (2.5M) and Webb (2.2M). For your 10 remaining roster spots, you need a back up C, 1 starting OFer, 5 pitchers and 3 other offensive players. Some of the relievers I listed will be brought back but others likely traded. Those are cheap contracts but the O's need to add another legit high leverage arm and someone(s) will be left off because of that. Either way, the team has plenty of money to add to this team given the low payroll of those definitely back.  Also, keep in mind Bradish will be on the payroll next year and I am assuming they will non tender Tyler Wells. Depending on his status, it is possible they bring him back but not sure I see the point. Having so many cheap players on the roster, many of whom will be cheap for a while, gives you so much flexibility. Also, it’s certainly possible that some of the players  I listed in the definite 16 will be traded, which will open up a spot or more.
