Gunnar would have been our best 3B last year as a 19 year old.

Gunnar would've been eaten alive last year. He struggled to adjust to both High-A and Double-A with tons of strikeouts, and made a bunch of errors. Development is important, he worked and got better.

Oh I thought he would have been awful.

But I also thought it would help rather than hinder him long term.

Under my admittedly unrealistic plan he would be in year two of a 10 year deal.

The question is what is best for development?

I don't think a one size fits all approach is best.

Wrong. Elias has a plan and if you  don't assimilate, you won't be part of the hive. Very important to realize, that they are not men,they are Orioles..

I think that's a reasonable statement, I think you want to challenge people but not put them in totally over their heads. That said, the statement I responded to was that he would've been the O's best third baseman last year...and that's not accurate, as bad as the O's third base situation was...it's better then you would have gotten out of 19yo Gunnar

(now it's distinctly possible, likely even, he is currently our best option)

Oh he definitely would have struggled.  My point is that the bar at 3B was/is so low that he'd still be our best.

I think tomorrow is an off day for Adley and he is called up for Saturday's game.

Adley isn't starting tonight.  Perhaps my prediction comes true?

Adley parachutes into the game in the 9th, grabs a bat, and hits the game winning HR.

catches tomorrow so the Orioles can check off the three in a row "box", up on Saturday (but seriously might be time to storm the yard with pitchforks)

hey, maybe, one can only hope

Adley not in the lineup tonight.

Well at least Norfolk has someone who can pinch hit unline the O's

Heading to OBX next weekend and a stop at a Tides game is standard operation for our family, so selfishly hoping he doesn’t get promoted until June

I think Palmer just blew it during the game. Something along the lines of “well if you want to see the start of something special show up tomorrow….errr uhhh Kyle Bradish is good”
