Stowers to O's Time Frame?

[Bahama O's Fan]

Of he keeps up what he is doing now, how long till we see him? Who would he push aside?

[NelsonCruuuuuz]

I thought about this too, my guess is when Santander is traded and if he is traded.

[MurphDogg]

It would take a trade or injury to Santander, Hays, Mullins, or Mancini. Not going to bring him up if he isn't going to play everyday. I would think Santander or Hays would really have to struggle (like sub .625 OPS) through the end of May for them to lose their job through natural causes.

[Frobby]

I figure he could get called up at midseason.  But if there are injuries it could be sooner.  

[NCRaven]

He could come up any time and get regular at bats rotating between the corner outfields and DH.

[Moose Milligan]

With Elias at the helm? 2028. 

[ChuckS]

Well….Mancini probably gets traded in July.

Given that he’s probably the first up if any of our starting outfielders, Mancini, or Mountcastle gets injured, we probably see him sooner rather than later.

If Mancini gets traded, who's our backup 1B? Gutierrez?

Yes, and Adley has played 1b in the minors as well

What he said.

Will be interesting to see how quickly the try to pull the trigger on a Santander trade if he keeps hitting well.

Judging but what we have seen to date, not quickly at all.

Well you don’t normally see trades before Memorial Day anyway. 

It’s more likely you see Stowers come up and play 4-5 times a week until things work themselves out.  And hopefully by the time the AS break is done, he’s playing everyday.

[interloper]

I wouldn't hate optioning McKenna and platooning Stowers with Hays, but I get that the idea is to play him everyday. 

Someone will get injured and we'll see him soon.

This is kind of the moment you look wistfully at Andrew Heaney or Tyler Anderson, and wonder if Trey Mancini will be able to do better than 1/8 next offseason.

Enough good things are happening to be energized on the doorstep of the Bradish-Grayson-Adley unveils, but I still hope Trey finds a good team this summer, even if we have to take very little.   The Orioles need a view of if MLB pitchers are going to strike Stowers out 35%+ to assess if they can look to him to fill something somewhere in the Luke Scott-Jay Gibbons-DJ Stewart spectrum next year.

If they are going to use Bradish day after tomorrow for the OAK-LAA West Coast quiet, it can't be kept under wraps more than another 24 hours or so.

Maybe Nevin? He has been mashing. 8 RBI last night I think.
