Thanks. It would be nice if our beat reporters bothered to report that.

But the lack of depth is an issue because it pushes people in roles they don’t belong or earlier than necessary. That’s why inaction this off-season was puzzling, but irresponsible. Can’t push Rodriquez, etc

One thing I'll give them is that they've made it clear that they're not going to do that.  They're not going to force guys up "early".  That's why we continue to see guys like Watkins and Odor and Lakins etc.

It would be great if Adley started playing baseball at some point and if Cowser could stop striking out.  Between them and good old Heston I'm getting depressed thinking about our 1st rounders.

I thought Cowser was supposed to be a contact hitter. It's like a video game where you put on a certain set of cloths and get buffs/debuffs.

Any O's affiliated uniform=+30% Strikeouts, -15% Speed, -40% Durability

The strategic plan for the season isn’t really affected IMO.   Guys like Rutschman, Rodriguez and Bradish will come up when the team feels they’re ready to succeed.  Means’ injury won’t affect those decisions.   The team will still look to trade some veterans for younger players as the season progresses.  About the only thing that’s changed is that Means won’t have much of a trade market this year.   And, some marginal pitchers will get more innings than they would have if Means were in the rotation.  

You think the team loses its best pitcher for a third of the season and everything is still fine? Then WTF are they doing.  Every pitch matters, whether they were going to build his trade value and trade him (which is shot) or they wanted him to be the ace of a competitive rotation next year (for which he is now a huge question mark).

Challenge yourself to be critical of the organization because I just see a lot of "everythings fine" while the organization fails to deliver a reasonable product, has failed to make appreciable strides toward competitiveness, and languishes in year 5 of a rebuild (yes 2018 counts as year 1 of the rebuild).
