I know batting average isn't a thing these days, but I'd like to see someone hitting better than .260 when there is no reason to hurry.

Given that his strikeout rate is down to 23.6%, I think his .260 batting average can be at least partially attributed to bad luck. He has a .293 BABIP which is a little low for a player who hits the ball hard and isn't a total oaf on the base paths.

I wouldn't give him a Mountcastle comp only because his plate discipline and patience is much better but his bat to ball skills aren't as good.   But his overall offensive game might be equivalent if things go well.

 

Here's a fun fact, Mountcastle is only 13 months older than Stowers. Mountcastle was 24 last year in the big leagues.

There's no doubt that getting drafted out of HS gets you to the majors quicker than going to college.

I’m hoping his floor is Luke Scott with much better defense. Scott was also very streaky.  Bat Stowers 6th just like Scott. A streaky bat can carry a team for a week. 

I’d say Scott, with better defense and perhaps better health, would be a good ceiling case.   Scott was a very good offensive player despite a middling BA.

Josh H. Smith from the Gallo trade this week became the first 2019 2nd rounder to make the Show....Stowers still looking in good shape to be near the front of that group debut-wise, like you'd expect with a college bat.

Stowers 2022 International League K% rate of 24.0 today is right next to Jarren Duran, who has scuffled with striking out a good deal in his first cups of coffee.    The only way out is through.

Stowers is slashing .333/.433/.708/1.141 in his last ten days over 30 PAs. 
He's slashing .302/.384/.698/1.082 in his last 30 days over 99 PAs.

He's 24 years old. It's time for him to get major league PAs. He's going to strike out a ton at first, but I'd rather him see major league pitching this year than next.

How are you going to make room for him to play?  Right now we are sitting one of the OF, DH, or 1B to get Rutschman DH at-bats.  Do you trade Mancini or Santander?

Move Austin Hays to 3B.  😐

Wait for Hays or Santander to go on the IL?    Can they both get through the same season without it?

I think you have to see what you can get for Santander or Mancini now. Waiting is not going to bring up their value.

Today Fangraphs Playoff Odds give 18 of the 30 Clubs chances of 10% or better, they have 36 1B/DH positions.

Today Trey Mancini's 138 OPS+ is 9th out of 37 counting the 36 guys B-Ref considers 1B/DH starters for those teams, plus him.

Notable (sub) Replacement Level Killers:

Red Sox 1B, White Sox DH, Guardians DH, Astros 1B, Mariners DH, Braves DH, Brewers DH

      Anthony Santander 2024

      By wildcard · Posted

      Right now I see the pitching staff as.  Eflin, GRod, Suarez, Kremer and one of Povich, Rogers, McDermott and Young.  All of the 5th starters have options so they can be on the shuttle if needed.   Bradish and Wells may come back in the 2nd half. Pen:  Bautista, Cano, Coulombe, Dominguez, Soto, Akin, Perez, Webb and Bowman.   Yes that is 9 but someone is normally injured.   I will not be surprised if the O's protect Nick Anderson and bring him to camp in case of injuries.    Akin has an option next year. That is 20 pitchers. Will Elias look to improve over the winner? Sure but with the 5th starters being able to either start or be a long man in the pen the O's begin the off season with volume on the pitching staff.

      If you're going to make this a WAR/OPS/OPS+ debate, sure, he's not the best offensive player right now.  But then again his power/speed combination makes him tough to beat. Best talent ever because of the ability to pitch, yes.  That's the point I was making.  Not only to pitch, but to be dominant on the hill, too.

      I think Mullins is as set as the entire lineup, but he would have to go if Elias chased the Robert upgrade. Getz already navigated the 3-team thing when he wanted Dodgers Latin kids, and the Dodgers didn't feel Erick Fedde was the caliber of pitcher they wanted to deploy. I do like Santander as a Victor Martinez aficionado, but he and Kjerstad are both RF profiles and, holy Rio Ruiz Batman, the handpicked kid has to play.    This is one of those calculations where the 80% as good for 20% of the cost part is easy, even if Kjerstad never achieves the heights Santander is at now. There's still room to hope Kjerstad is all Santander is and more, but even if he isn't, the team needs the Santander salary slot repurposed to pitching more than it needs him. I think after this summer's moves, we got a fair bit of information if Elias is trading Cowser/Kjerstad for pitching...looking like he isn't.

      I think you can argue he’s the best talent ever because of his ability to pitch. As an offensive player, he’s not the best player right now.

      Age, body type, how he plays(strengths/weaknesses) and what we have depth at, in terms of high end talent, coming up behind him. And yes, we should be out on most key FAs because they are largely terrible investments.

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

      By Can_of_corn · Posted

      I'd say that overall his defense has also been down this year.

      Your point is entirely valid. Just because Tony is better than Trumbo was means nothing, because Trumbo was a catastrophe. It was just beyond comprehension that they kept putting him in the field. That said, Santander is still ok. Diminished range, but a good glove and arm. However, they avoided the problem with Nelson Cruz in Seattle and Minnesota by just putting him designated hitter, so that’s a possibility for Santander, if he can maintain solid contact. But not here. Let’s take the pick and use it on pitching, please.
