I agree they don't wait that long for Adley mostly because I don't know if they can milk this injury long enough. I also don't think they wait on it for Bradish. You don't half-a** pushing back to after the Super-2. If they choose to wait until they think they can get the extra year of arb for Super-2, they don't call him up until mid June because you don't wait weeks longer than necessary unless you are 100% sure you get past the Super-2 cutoff. Otherwise, it's not worth it. Given the ages on Bradish and Rutschman, there'd be too much upheaval to wait until near mid-season.  

I, however, could see them waiting on Rodriguez. The kid is well below the average age for AAA and has to date made just one start there. Given the different ball and more offensively friendly environment as well as his less than stellar spring appearance, the argument can be made for giving him nearly half a season in Norfolk. Of course, that argument goes out the window if 5 starts in he's still mowing down hitters like he did in his first start. 

I really hope you are right and we are seeing these guys in the Majors within weeks rather than months. Once they are on the roster, this becomes a much more exciting team to watch. It may not translate into too many more wins in 2022 as there will be growing pains, but it'll at least be more interesting to watch the improvement as the season progresses.  

I think you’re right that of the three, the easiest to push back a bit is Rodriguez, who is the youngest and has no AAA experience.   I think they’ll be patient if he struggles a bit.   But that first start was, well, awesome.   A few more of those and it gets really hard to rationalize keeping him down.  And, Elias pretty much indicated this spring that it might not take long to call him up.   So we’ll see.

To be fair, my prediction last week or so was that he would appear in extended ST games sometime this week.  Then he would go to AAA for 1-2 weeks and be ready late April/early May.

All of that can still happen.

The injury was announced on March 16.  They said it was going to be a 2-3 week shutdown and then resume baseball activities.  That has happened.  

It has now been 4 weeks since that announcement was made.  

Game action should be occurring soon.

And disagree what you are saying about Roch.  He’s going to say what he’s being told.  He’s not going to lie about it.

All of that still can happen, SG.  Yep, it sure can.

What are you willing to bet that it'll happen?

I don’t know.  I’m not as worried about it as you seem to be.  They are going to be careful with him so that he doesn’t have any setbacks.

Au contraire, SG.  I'm not worried at all.  I'm fully expecting the worst to happen to this franchise at all times.  Anything else is a minor miracle.

So Adley got hurt on March 11th.Lucky he didn't get hurt when the season started,he would be out till June 

Pet Dan Connolly:

No real update on Adley Rutschman (right triceps). Improving. Hitting off coaches. No exact timetable

Like I said, if it gets close to the Super 2 deadline (and I think they have a very good idea of where that deadline falls) I think they hold him back.

 

Why bring him up and have him be a super two if they can wait a couple of weeks.....

It only makes sense....

Roch provided me with an update on Adley via Twitter:

 

You are a Tucker fan and supported the MAGA coup against our country…color me shocked. I work to defend our country and then there is filth like you.  I’ll keep that in mind the next time you go on a tirade about brown folk in cities too.

What about that post triggered this response?  I suspect I’m about 180 degrees from SG politically (okay, maybe  160), but what’s this got to do with an injury report on Stowers?

      Sorry to hear this--wishing you a sound recovery, in time for the O's run to the Series! (That would speed up the healing!)

      Santander is a good case for the Rule V draft. That's unfortunately the same system that's going to make his next contract potentially look bad. If only he were a couple of years younger. It's hard to commit 25+M to a player at 30+. He's going to be missed in Baltimore, on the field and by the fans, but he's someone that they're going to have to let move on.

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      By sevastras · Posted

      While I agree and find your comment funny, maybe just say something along the line of”Don’t give up on this team” or “Quite being Debbie downers” instead of assuming they are projecting the own misery in their lives. People might take it better if it doesn’t feel like a personal attack. Either way, that win felt good and I HOPE this is finally the turning point going into the playoffs soon.

      I've made it clear that if they don't sign Santa and Burnes I'm ok with it as long as the money is allocated to other players they feel that fits their profile better .You know you have people on here like SG who only hears what he wants to hear. I need to learn to ignore that guy.

      I also think Santander will age better than Trumbo, despite my repeated comparisons of the two players. But I don't know that he will age better than Trumbo and all of the other one dimensional sluggers who were enjoying the retired millionaire sports star lifestyle by their mid-30s, and I don't want the Orioles to be on the hook when the world finds out in 2 or 3 years. Re-signing Santander to a 4 year, $80 million dollar deal is something the DD/PA regime would have done. Hopefully the ME/DR regime is smarter than that (and I think they are). 22nd percentile is really bad, man. And it's unlikely to improve in his 30s.
