DL Hall 2022

Roch's update on DL in extended spring training:

Left-hander DL Hall, on the development list with Double-A Bowie, is healthy and in Sarasota to build up innings after making only seven starts in 2021.

“He’s been getting his innings when he can in live batting practice,” Packer said. “He actually has one coming up again. He threw the other day. He looks great. He’s got the velo, it’s still there. So, it’s more about getting his innings up so he’s ready to go. He’s progressing and he’s built up his innings a little bit more and more every time he gets out there, and it’s obviously a lot of fun to watch him pitch.”

Like his one inning against the Phillies in Clearwater, when his fastball climbed from 98.7 mph to 99.6 to 100 to strike out Mickey Moniak. His 11 four-seamers averaged 99.1 mph and he retired the side in order with a second strikeout.

“Even with no fans in the stadium and it’s just live BP on the back fields, it’s like, ‘OK, this is going to be really cool to see,’” Packer said.

It is uttterly ridiculous that those build up innings are not against live competition. I absolute hate how this teams coddles their pitching prospects. Let the kid pitch already. If he's throwing 99 MPH, he's ready for goodness sake. 

You wanna keep him on a tight pitch count for a bit, fine, but let him pitch in the minors and not hidden away in the Orioles secret lab spaces where they can keep Hall hidden from everyone. 

How much build up do you need? the guy was pitching in Florida againt live hitters in mid-March. We're a month+ away from that and they're still claiming he's building innings.

It's just ridiculous. At this rate, we'll be lucky to see Hall at the major league level in a starter's role in 2024.

They are having their first extended spring training game against another opponent (Pirates) today.  Matt Harvey is starting, and Rico Garcia, who missed last year with TJ surgery, will follow.  I guess DL will get into one of those soon.

We don't like the answers we are getting but I do appreciate Roch's in depth post this morning about the status of all the guys at extended spring training.

This doesn't seem to be limited to pitchers though. They're taking it extra slow with all of these guys. I guess the goal is to prevent reinjury, but it's a REALLY slow process when someone gets injured in birdland.

Im hopeful his pitch count is already built up and he can go 75-80 pitches his first Aberdeen start. Might be optimistic but I thought I read thats what Elias wanted him to do in Sarasota. Build up his stamina.

I’d be surprised if that’s their plan.  I think they’re saving as many innings as they can for his likely promotion to Baltimore later this summer.

Phillies High-A Jersey Shore has SS Casey Martin batting 2nd.

My memory is the Westburg draft night, Arkansas Razorback Casey Martin was the "Best Available" on the MLB crawl for sometime approaching and after the Westburg pick.    His A ball season last year was a little tough, and start in his repeat hasn't been that great yet.

Jersey Shore pretty solidly Bottom Three in Sally run differential in the first few weeks.

    • 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.
    • 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.
    • Your last statement I dont believe is correct with a 2 way tie against the Tigers in this scenario. We would both be 87-75 and 30-22 in the division. It would then go to interdivison record, which I believe we would win by 2 games.
    • There's no joy up here in Suxville! 
    • Now we need to cheer for them this weekend.
    • The Elephant has been eliminated from catching the Orioles for a playoff spot, with 9 games remaining.
