I'd like to see Stewart get an extended chance. I think there's a hitter there.

I don't think that scattered PA or even a few weeks of consistent PA is a fair way to judge a hitter no matter how bad they look. Look at Adley as an example. You either give them an extended chance no matter the results or you don't bother with them. I don't think DJ has really gotten that extended chance. 

I’d like to see Stewart get a chance, but not necessarily with us.   We have too many options that are much better defensively and potentially better offensively.   But I do root for the guy and think he might succeed in the right situation.

Stewart seems like the kind of player that ends up on the A’s or Rays and hits 30 HR with a 350 OBP

We should trade him to the Giants, I’m sure he’d do well there.

LOL, no he hasn't done anything to me personally. He is just a player that I don't enjoy watching play the game. We have way too many better prospects in the system to spend time trying to see if he m

Dunno. It would be amazing if Mancini could get on a bit of a hot streak and we could sell him off and allow Stewart to play from August to September at least with consistent ABs. 

In my ideal world Mullins starts hitting like last season and we can sell him off in the winter, which opens up an OF space for Stowers while we give Mancini's ABs to Stewart (with Santander, I just feel like there's more potential there still, and we might be selling a little bit low if we sell him this summer, but I am no expert, and that's total gut instinct based on basically nothing).

This is kind of the way I feel about Stewart. Seems like a good guy, but to think that he projects as an everyday outfielder on a competitive team seems unreasonable. I've read the arguments that he's never had consistent AB's, and while true, that's the life of a 4th/5th outfielder. He's failed in that role. We've got too many other options of guys who've got far better tools than Stewart.

His passive approach at the plate isn't what you ideally look for in a pinch hitter.  If Mancini and Santander aren't on the team then Stewart would be in competition with Diaz and Vavra for ABs.

Stewart turns 29 in November and the Orioles removed him from the 40 man roster. Barring a major disaster of epic proportions, Stewart's chance to play for the Orioles has passed. He will probably sign a minor league deal with a team in the offseason and compete for a fourth outfielder spot with another team next spring. I guess he could end up with the Tides next spring if no other team signs him. But he'll be a 29 year old outfielder who was a bit defensively challenged even when he was younger.

He's got to be a 6 year minor league FA this coming offseason if he's not on the 40 man roster.

He’s not on the 40 man now. I don’t think I was clear enough…if he’s back in Norfolk next year, then it’s because he signs a minor league deal with the Orioles before spring training.

No, it really wouldn't be.  Not sure how a .204 BA along with an OPS under .700 (all based on last years numbers) would be useful, especially when he is a liability in the field.  The bat simply isn't good enough to justify having him on the team.  At least some of the others who are struggling with the bat (Mateo, Chirinos, etc) are providing something with their gloves.  Admittedly Odor and Nevin should be cut/demoted, but even if they are Stewart isn't the answer for a replacement for them.

ST for Nevin.

      Why not Chayce McDermott?

      By Il BuonO · Posted

      I agree with those who say he probably needs to figure it out in Norfolk, however, they could bring also bring him up for a look when any of Baker, Tate, or Vespi reboard the shuttle. Maybe Povich had earned the call up, whereas they don't think McDermott has done that, but bringing him up as a temporary move couldn't hurt too much for the aforementioned pitchers.

      Basallo for Crochet?

      By gamiliel · Posted

      Big not necessarily tall is what he is saying.....Basallo is much thicker build, which actually may be better for a catcher anyway. Pudge was not thin--even before roids.

      I sort of don't get Elias's plan

      With this current starting pitching as is, barring an epic collapse by the Yankees, the chances of us winning the division are very low. Right now, in just about every other series (the series that Burnes and Rodriguez don't start) we are at a talent disadvantage. We have the #1 offense in all of baseball - we have scored the most runs and hit the most home runs and have scored 8, 11, and 17 in the last 3 series and we are all of 4-6 in our last 10 games. It's hard to see us being favored against even a decent team like the Mariners (with our starting pitching as is) given the talent disadvantage in the two rotations. Now we that doesn't mean that we couldn't/wouldn't pull it out. But I doubt that we would be favorites as things are going. And then when you look at a team like the Phillies with their rotation/offense/bullpen or even the Dodgers for that matter, I believe that even if we made it that far, we would be heavy underdogs against either opponent. I don't like our chances of continuously having to rely upon "beating the odds" round after round (I didn't even mention NY if we were to meet them). This is year 3 of Adley, 2 for Gunnar, and possibly our only with Burnes. Without making significant trades or major FA acquisitions, I don't see any near future scenarios where things are better for us, we have more talent or frankly a better opportunity.  Pitching injuries are so significant and so frequent in MLB now, that future projections are hazy at best. Because it is likely that you have to make pitching additions/acquisitions EVERY YEAR in order to seriously compete. If we don't make upgrades/trades this year, when will we do it? And what will be promised to us more than it is now?

      Gunnar vs. Coby Mayo at the same place in time

      I was wondering if you thought Coby Mayo should be brought up Roy.

      Bullpen 2024

      By jdwilde1 · Posted

      Cano hasn’t achieved consistent movement with his fastball, which really requires run and sink to be effective.  He’s also been hanging too many change ups.  I big part of his turn around last year was dropping to more of a sidearm delivery and his stuff gets flat when he loses that delivery slot.

      We need both.  My goal would be two backend bullpen arms and one starter at the deadline.

      I'm sorry but who cares about his walk rate. We are using Bryan Baker. We are using Suarez as a starter. We are using Vespi. We are not in a position to nitpick the guy's walk rate.  For god's sake, call up someone who has some upside. It's not like he's going to do much worse than what we have right now. And he might just go nuts out of the bullpen.
