Nelson, this isn’t all directed at you. You are a passionate fan, like most here. I just wish you’d state your case, once. And then let it go. But that is not your style. You feel the need to enlighte

Last year Cowser had 45 hits.  10 of those were extra bases.  This year he has 55 hits. 23 for extra bases.  That is a significant development.  June is the Cowser we've been hoping for. 17

Jon Meoli said as much in his Newsletter yesterday, re: Cowser, without quoting the whole thing (as it's paid and all): "Cowser said he was focused on one zone and striking out as a result..."

Well, he has gotten around that 200 at bat area now.

What is the team supposed to do?  Keep him in AA just because of an insanely high BABiP?  Is he hitting a bunch of softly hit balls that are just finding holes?  Are his hits weak?  Is his EV poor?  Is he just swinging at everything? 
 

BtW, MiLB.com has his BABiP at 462.  Still not sustainable of course.

I don't know the answer to your questions.  You don't know the answer to your questions.  The organization knows the answers to your questions and they don't think it's ridiculous to keep him in AA.  They seem to know a little about developing hitters.

Does any site track MiL EV stats?

I see FG has Cowser at a 36% LD% in AA.

Rotowire has hard hit rate which is probably the closest you could find on public available data.

Cowser is at 36.5% this year which is great, given for comparison Henderson is 32%, as is Jordan Walker.  I don't know how much credence to put into these numbers, but it is at least something.

That’s in line with FG, so that makes sense.

His numbers are just insane.

Markakis hit .339 /.420 /.573 in 33 games at AA, striking out about 20% of the time, and went right to the majors from there. Would it be the worst thing in the world if Cowser started 2023 in our outfield? 

Cowser is the future in our outfield. I'd imagine they can hold him back for an extra year of service time, but I could also imagine that they move on from 2 of our current OFer and make a spot for him on opening day. 

I suspect, based on this pace, that they intend to keep him in AAA until after he gets the extra year.

I don't think Elias believes in skipping people over AAA

Extra year from when? I see him starting in AAA and coming up by the end of the year. I can't imagine they hold him back until mid-April '24.

Unlikely, but there is a better chance of that IMO than him being up next season before June.

      I was about to say the same is there another roster move coming besides Coulombe coming off the IL.  Update: It’s posted finally.

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

      Yankees Designate Ron Marinaccio For Assignment

      Yankees Designate Ron Marinaccio For Assignment. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2024/09/yankees-designate-ron-marinaccio-for-assignment.html He has a pretty low ERA. I think he would be good pickup for this and next year.  It don't make sense to pass on an opportunity. He's better than Baker.

      I imagine the goal is to get him available to just give them anything out of the pen in the wild card round. Depending on how that goes and if the O’s can advance who knows.

      A look ahead to the 2025 payroll

      By wildcard · Posted

      The interesting thing about 1B is Mayo.     Elias keeps pushing Mayo at 3B.   But if Westburg is healthy he is better at 3B.   And they don't seem to play Mayo has much as they could at 1B where he might have a better chance at a regular job.    DH might be his best position. If Santander leaves, then Kjerstad probably gets an every day spot at RF.   Elias might want to see Kjerstad hit well in RF before he hands over 2B to Holliday.   Too many struggling rookies at the same time is not good for wins.   Mayo is  behind Kjerstad and Holliday IMO in getting a lot of playing time. However, developing Kjerstad, Holliday and Mayo  are key parts of the O's future no  matter how Elias develops them.

      Walker is definitely an upgrade over Mountcastle.  Walker has cleared an .800 OPS the past three seasons.  Mountcastle has only done it once -- his rookie year.  Plus Mountcastle hasn't even cleared 20 homers since 2022.  Mountcastle is good in a platoon, used against lefties, but otherwise he's fallen off. Walker is 33, which is a bit of a risk, but which makes me think he could be had on a short term deal.  That said I think the O's will have competition for Walker.  He's one of the most underrated bats in the league.   If the O's think Kjerstad can play 1B then I think they should maybe go with him and look for a new RF (unless they bring back Santander, which seems more unlikely now).  But I don't know about Kjerstad's glove there. Mayo's glove at 1B may be even more questionable than Kjerstad's.  Plus Mayo just hasn't shown he's ready with his bat yet.  I'm against assuming guys will figure out how to hit MLB pitching within a presumed timeframe.  Mayo hasn't shown he's there yet.  Let him work his way into the lineup rather than giving him a starting job.  But with him there's also the issue of where his defense plays best, or if it plays anywhere.
