I was interested in seeing De Los Santos because I heard he had a good arm and I was not disappointed.

The 6-2, 250 righty sat mostly 94-95 from the radar gun readings (fell off to 92 around 45 pitches) given by the broadcaster. He looked like he had a slider that he struggled to command early on but it got better as his appearance went on. 

Delmarva does not appear to have a center field camera (they had one occasionally last year) so it's tough to see overall, but good arm strength and he works fast (something I love). 

Nice debut allowing just one earned run on one hit (a triple that was misplayed by RF) and three walks while striking out five in 3.1 IP. Obviously he's got a ways to go command and control wise, but he's the first pitcher I've seen in Delmarva this year worth keeping an eye on.

Terrific outing today, 6 IP, 1 ER, 3 H, 1 BB, 7 K’s.   He handled the six innings in a tidy 73 pitches.   Took the hard luck 1-0 loss.   

Yep.  That pitch count is extremely efficient.

Was he an international signing? Looks bound for Bowie if he continues this pace.

Yes. He's an international signee. Doubtful you see him in Bowie this year.  Maybe not even Aberdeen for awhile.

Keith Law was there for his last start and had this to say:

Juan De Los Santos, who was 89-96 mph and got some bad swings on the pitch, with an improving changeup and below-average slider. 

Sounds like still a work in progress, but time is on his side and the results have been good thus far.

      I would not pick up O'Hearn 8m option

      What would be the point of his the team option if it had no meaning?

      Go read the OP again.  I did not say be let go.  I said the O's probably don't need to pay him 8m for this option.   He will earn less in arbitration IMO. MLBTR are projecting the Mounty will get 6.6m in arbitration.   O'Hearn as a platoon player with less defensive ability  will probably earn less then that in arbitration.

      Go back as read the OP.   Not picking up O'Hearn's option has nothing to do with whether he is on the team or not.   He is not a free agent this off season.    He has not reached 6 years of service time.  He is arb eligible.    Why would the O's pick up the option for 8m whether he probably makes 5.5m in arbitration?

      Still think this team didn't choke under pressure?

      By EddeeEddee · Posted

      Yeah this isn't really worth arguing about and I sort of agree with you, but I can't ignore Adley being terrible for 3 months, Gunnar also going through a mini slump the past couple of weeks, Cowser just being Jekyll and Hyde throughout the season, and Santander's overall lack of plate discipline.   On top of that the O's have been flat out dominated by some good starters the past few months -- the game against Snell is a good example.  And then they've also been shut down by some no name starters like that Cannon guy on the White Sox.   This just isn't a team that has played confident baseball for a long time except maybe after winning their last 5 of 6 -- but even in those games the Yankees were not playing all out and the Twins looked like they had given up. But in terms of pressure, we do have to give credit to the O's pitchers.  They were very good and seemed to handle the pressure well.  Maybe KC isn't that great of a hitting team overall, but the pitchers did a much better job handling playoff pressure than last season.  It makes me want Burnes back even more though I know it's unlikely.

      What's Your Top Priority

      By iiiput · Posted

      Obviously weed starting pitching. Need BP help too. I don’t think anyone in the organization is untouchable at this point. If Tony goes, we have to go out and get a real right handed bat. Not a platoon bat.  we have too many left handed hitters. We don’t have anyone who can step in and be a solid Bat and play solid D. We have bad bats who can’t play D.  Which is why I think they try to keep Tony.
