Nope, didn't forget. Optioned to AAA. He hasn't pitched there yet and we know how Mike rolls. [EDIT: Woops, that's incorrect...]

I think Bautista will "check some boxes" as Mike likes to say, and be up pretty quickly. But he'll want him to ease into the season at AAA and go with pitchers who are more multi-inning types to start the season since guys aren't built all the way up. 

I hope I'm wrong!

They pitched him in the 4th inning today even though it was the travel team for the Rays. I don't see how they send him down the way he's thrown the ball. He's 26-years old. I think he's in the pen for sure.

Rotation: Means, Lyles, Zim,  TWells, Lowther

Short Relievers: Sulser, Bautista, Fry, Scott, Perez, Tate,  Baker

IL: Mattson (or 60 day IL)

DFA:  Odor, (Bannon if Mattson on the 15 day IL)

O's are only on the hook for Odor 700K if no other team adds him to their ML roster.

Bannon is well down the depth chart and does not fit the short or long  term plan.

I think this is quite likely to be correct. I agree that Bannon is a guy that could be cut off the 40-man. I also doubt he'd be grabbed given how poor his 2021 was (save for that couple weeks of bombs). I still want to see if he can find something in AAA (similar to my thoughts on Diaz). This offseason I was ready to write both off. Now, I'd like to see both get one last go at AAA to earn a promotion, but for Bannon that could happen on or off the 40-man.

I honestly think Ramon Urias could be the starting 2nd baseman on our next playoff team. 

One of the biggest things I'm rooting for this season (besides the obvious Adley/Grayson stuff), is that he continues to establish himself as a legitimate high-OBP everyday MLB player. I think he can do that. His first year of free agency is 2027.

Yeah now that I realize he pitched in AAA, I definitely agree he'll be on the team.

It's possible. I would love to see him basically replicate his numbers from last year over the course of a full season. I'm not sure there's any additional upside to that given he's about to turn 28, but a 111 OPS+ second baseman certainly has value. I really hope we see Urias and Mateo basically everyday (at least for the first few months). Of the infield options, they are the ones that have a chance to be something beyond just spot holders.

I am over Akin and Kremer being on an major league roster. 

Couldn't agree more.  Not that they can't re-establish themselves as options in the future, but based on what they did in the majors last season they are hardly entitled to a spot on the team, much less the starting rotation.

    • That Jimmy Fallon movie was Fever Pitch.  Came out in late 2004 I think, because they had enough time to have the last scene being him and Drew Barrymore on the field in St. Louis celebrating the World Series win.  It actually was a really good movie at the time. But because the Red Sox and their fanbase became completely insufferable beginning with that comeback against the Yankees and carrying all the way through their 4 championships without so much as a loss in the World Series, it is hard for me to still enjoy it. But the underlying premise and that question of what has your favorite team ever done for you definitely resonated and certainly does even more so now with the Orioles.  And for Os fans the answer to that question is over the last 40 years, they haven't done much at all.   
    • I have 13 game plan. Last year I was refunded. I hope I am this year.    The Ravens used to keep your money for playoff games not played and people complained. They stopped doing it. It’s pretty unethical in my opinion they keep the money towards next year. You can use that money for something else and make payments when they are due. Instead a business getting handouts from the state keeps your money.    The fact that you didn’t get playoff tickets due to this is alarming. They should wake up and be called out on this. It’s not acceptable. 
    • I didn't watch the Astros or Os press conferences, mainly because I didn't want to look at or hear anything Elias or Hyde said. But I imagine that Houston fans are going to be far more accepting of how things ended than our fans are (or should be). The Astros fan has had a pretty charmed life (cheating stigma aside) since the last time we won a playoff game.  
    • According to park factors, OPaCy was friendlier overall to righties compared to lefties. This is the second time in three season that has been the case. But it’s way friendlier to lefties in terms of hitting homers. 
    • Trade Mullins & Mountcastle. Let O’Hearn go.  Sign Juan Soto
    • As someone who attended 15 games this year in section 80, and watched numerous games on TV, I might have had the chance at 3 home runs.   RHB are trying to work the ball towards the bullpen versus dead pulls.   OPACY, due to the summer humidity, is still the homer dome in the summer time.  But this was supposed to be our benefit to stack the lineup with LHB, and it was also proved that a team could stack their playoff roster with LHP to neutralize it.   I think the dimensions are going to be the way they are for a while, and I think the pitchers are going to be fine with it overall.  There were far too many ‘cheap’ home runs from RHB on high pop ups, but also off the end of the bat from LHB.  
    • The Diamondbacks have 125 million in 10 players. Would they really want to have at $155-$165 million in 11 players of a $199 million payroll (their 2023 amount)?   https://www.spotrac.com/mlb/arizona-diamondbacks/payroll/_/year/2025/sort/cap_total2
