Moises Ramirez outgrew 3rd base, now at 1st.

[waynebug]

He had a great year in FCL playing his usual 3rd base. There were a few errors.

This year he's added 2 inches and 15 pounds and he's stuck playing 1st.  De Leon has moved from short to 3rd.

That really hurts his prospect status.  He was a Duquette signee i've been pulling for him since 2019.

.878 OPS last year, batting .314 I believe.

So he's 6'6" 250?

Like Winfield, Stanton and Judge?

Why can't he play outfield?

Maybe he could play a Trumbo level of outfield.

Pretty sure he played 3B yesterday or Saturday.

You're right !!!!.  All 6'4" 235 pounds played 3rd on Sunday with no errors.

And one of Delmarva's pitchers has gone  from 6'2" and about 180lbs to 275 pounds.  And his picture reflects his weight gain.

So far Ramirez is 3 singles in 10 at bats, no walks.  Orioles need to cut back on the nutrition and calories they're feeding these guys.

Moises is back ar 3rd Tuesday.   1 for 2, a single.

Issac Bellony 3 for 3, 2 singles and a Homer.  In right field.

As far as I know Ramirez and Bellony are the last 2 international signees Duquette made still in the organization.  Both got about $ 200,000.

Five 20 year olds in the lineup tonight including those two.  Deson is only 19 (sitting today).  

This feels like more prospect-age players than we are used to seeing in a Shorebirds lineup.  I know very little about any of them other than Hernaiz so it will be interesting to see how they perform as the season progresses.

There is Ofelky Peralta in Norfolk. But yeah, slim pickings.
