He's had a nice start no doubt statistically in the first two games. However, in the 8th inning last night though, he made a poor swing decision that actually ended up becoming an RBI single. So how w

Yankees are already lining up.

Now that is going to attract some offers.

23 years old, under team control for multiple seasons, 6 wins/162.

Elias says that’s poor service clock management. He should still only be in AAA.

I have randomly become a fan of this guy for no apparent reason.  You can see the talent is in there.  Get this man to a yoga studio and try and find a way to keep him on the field, would be fantastic if he could realize his talent.  The power is legit.

No apparent reason? 1.000 OPS in a small sample is an excellent reason. With Stowers seemingly ready and Cowser and Kjerstad in the pipeline, I wonder what Elias has in mind for Diaz. Maybe a prospect-for-prospect trade candidate?

I think Diaz could be the next outfielder up if he can stay healthy for a few weeks/a month. They need to figure out if he can help in the future (of course health being a big caveat). Diaz already has 1950 minor league at bats (according to Baseball Reference...some other sites report lower number of at bats) plus at bats in Cuba and the Dominican Winter League.

 

I think a prospect-for-prospect trade involving Diaz would be for a similar player (relatively talented but probably under-performing or often injuried) or some low-level, international prospects.

I agree, but Stowers also appears ready. I wonder if Diaz had been healthy if he would have been the one to come up for the Toronto series. Hopefully there is a way to get a look at both this year. Good problems to have.

I agree that a healthy Diaz would probably have been brought up for at least a cup of coffee by now (and the Toronto series would have been a good opportunity for him). I think we are all more excited about Stowers, especially given Diaz's health and variability in performance (he looked bad last year), but the Orioles don't have to put Stowers on the 40 man this offseason so he may stay in the minors the rest of the season if an outfielder doesn't get traded or injured. Diaz is definitely getting closer to the fish or cut bait break point.

Ultimately, it takes top talent depth to build the org.  He's given hints at the top talent piece.  But with him, it feels like we can't even count him as depth.  

I wonder if he could be a piece in a larger trade package.  He's not the type of guy I would be trading for if I were building an org.  But maybe a small/mid-market trade partner would see him as balancing out losing a higher rated prospect to get some bullpen help or a Santander?

      Yeah I'm all for sportsmanship but seeing 'Congratulations Yankees' at or near the top of the board is sickening, not gonna lie.  There is no high road when it comes to these clowns.  Boone's constant whining, the well-documented HP ump favoritism (I don't care if its framing or whatever, its happening, and its annoying AF), the whining about Judge getting hit on the hand while their guys constantly pitch inside including of course the Kjerstad play where they were literally cutting up on the bench as he lay prone on home plate, the ginormous payroll, the incredibly entitled fan base booing at pitches being called balls that are three inches off the plate, that stupid roll call, that stupid whistle after strikeouts, the stupid national media drooling over a Judge v Ohtani WS possibility, Nestor Cortes and his dumb mustache, the mediocre stadium that is revered simply because its called Yankee Stadium, the ridiculously short RF porch, the Soto Shuffle or whatever the hell it is. Congratulations my ass.  Screw those dudes.

      Here's the deal. I doubt anyone on the Yankee's board congradulated us last year. This year they won the East. Whippie for them. It's like saying the IRS won tax season. IF, we do anything in the playoffs, we may meet again. But there are some significant hurdles before that. And they could easily lose along the way. Cleveland, Houston, Detroit, and KC are no walk in the park. I'll root for the O's to go as far as they can and that the Yankees are one and done. We are in. I hope we win one more so we play the opening round in Oriole Park. If not, we are still in and have to do what we got to do to go anywhere. Two years in a row. While the Red Sox, Blue Jays, and Tampa sleep. Year two with a heck of a lot more obstacles. This may not be a WS year but we are competitive, young, and a hell of a lot classier than that bunch in the Bronx.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      The usage of Cano last night was poor, I don't even blame him really.  Yankees had 9-1-2 coming up, and Torres is well known (based on the telecast) to hit Cano well, and hit sinkers well.  He laced that hit to RF off him on Tuesday where the Yanks screwed up the baserunning.  And Soto got a hit off him that same inning.  So it was pretty predictable that these guys were going to tee off when he came in, and that's exactly what happened. Not to mention he's pitched a lot recently, and Burnes should have pitched another inning anyway.  Just baffling decisions by Hyde last night, and I'm not one to generally question those types of things.  Even if the Burnes thing was pre-ordained, the choice of Cano for that moment was terrible.

      Why is this thread on the Oriole Talk section.    It probably does not belong on the OriolesHangout  at all but if it stays it should be on the MLB section.

      If there's two outs and its not Judge in the hole, I'm probably going with Perez, crossing my fingers he gets the lefty, and then starting fresh the next inning with Coulombe or someone else.  If there's one out, I'm going w/ Coulombe.
