I love this interview.  Seems like a great kid.  You'd think minor league players could get MiLB.tv for free, but I'm impressed that he's paying for it out of pocket.  

 

He did sign an overslot deal as a first round pick and had a signing bonus of 3M.  He can afford MiLB.tv.

I wonder when Hall is pitching this week.  Bowie’s starters for the week are listed on milb.com as Watson, Rom,  Velez, Peek, Stallings and TBD.   I doubt they are going to hold Hall back until Sunday.

I was thinking of going Thursday if he’d be pitching then, but now I see that’s an 11 am game.

I came in here hoping to find an answer to this question too. If he were to pitch Wednesday or Thursday I’d like to go to the game.

If things go well, I don’t see any reason for Hall to be in the minors beyond mid June or so.  Let him build up his arm for the next 4-6 weeks and once that is accomplished, if he is performing and healthy, get him up here.

I’m inclined to agree.   But let’s see how he does.

Hall has never pitched in Triple-A. Given Elias' preferences I would expect him to make many starts in Triple-A before seeing the big leagues 

He's on the 40.  Why waste a 40 man slot and blow up his age 23 season?

How long is that elbow going to hold together with him throwing 100?

Also, not that Elias isn't less than truthful at times, but he did talk about Hall pitching in the majors this year.

I think we see Hall by Aug 1 (assuming everything goes well). As to the rest, I don't disagree...but Elias has proven that he really values the step by step approach, and I don't see him deviating

    • I've kind of heard the same thing. It's not just a lack of power that regresses in Aberdeen, but the K-BB ratio have typically been among the worse for the players who eventually made the big leagues (Gunnar, Adley, Cowser, Westburg) and had success.
    • I'm a fan of Koby's and I think he's done a great job down there under some difficult circumstances. I'm hopeful the new training facility down there will help get more talent to sign with the Orioles. Saying that, I agree that we need to start seeing more guys out of that program able to compete well once they hit the states. I know some got upset at more just [providing facts about the players who are failing when they get to A-ball but it's just the truth. Outside of Basallo and now Bencosme to a lesser extent, none of the international guys have had any real success once they hit Delmarva. So it's one of two things at this point. Kobe and his team are missing a lot (I haven't researched to see how others teams Latin American players are doing) or they are not being prepared well to compete at full season ball levels. It's really weird how they can show pretty good plate discipline and some pop in the FCL, then look like they have no business facing Caroline League pitchers. And before the excuse is, "They're young," they're not that much younger than the other teams that are beating them up.  There was a lot of money spent on Maikol Hernandez, Braylin Tavera and Luis Almeyda and while the book is not finished on Tavera and Almeyda by any means, they are going to have to show something here soon. Good young players with major league promise typically can compete with older players. Basallo has done it. The special ones do.  It's a little weird that Liranzo hasn't played the first two games either. Either he's banged up or they just don't think he's ready to compete against FCL pitching because he should be a priority play.  Now it's not time to give up on any of these guys (minus Hernandez is just a miss) I mentioned and Thomas Sosa has hit a little bit and is competing though his K's are pretty high. It's just time for some of these guys to step up.
    • This discussion brings up a point I floated yesterday about Wells or Kremer being a risky option for late relief because of the HR ball. Now I wonder, is that true or false? A run is a run is  run. Seems like ERA might be a better litmus test for picking a closer (or any pitching role except extra innings, where it does seem obvious that high K rate is best).
    • We had 3 or 4 guys from one class (2022?) make the FCL 2024 top 20 prospects list at the end of the season.  DeLeon is doing well and Arias, Tavera, and Sosa are off to slow starts.   That was the first class where I’d say we had caught up to everyone else.   Now we’ll see how Almeyda and Liranzo (2023 class do in the FCL) but they and Koby Perez will ultimately be judged by how they do in Delmarva and how many become contributors at the ML level. I’d say Basallo, Bencosme, Chace, Portes, DeLeon are a decent starter kit but we certainly need to see a few more top prospects emerge.
    • Love the looks of this all-homegrown roster! Unfortunately, it's highly unlikely due to: a) it's probably never been done; b) injury or other nonperformance issues; c) the good chances of a "very big trade" or two from this stable of position talent to bring in some pitching help. 
    • Kimbrel is striking out 14.9 per 9.   Lack of strikeouts hasn’t been an issue for him.  
    • Thank god you’re back!   But how about: 11.  Mike Elias.    (Not funny, but accurate.).
