Hit by pitch and removed. Haven’t seen the video yet.  Edit: hit in helmet on 0-2 fastball. Hit the bill but didn't look to hit him in the face. By looks alone, it appears to be precautionary. He

The Orioles have played Vavra in the outfield 6 times (5 in CF, 1 in LF for the first time ever professionally) and at 2B 4 times so far this season. So early on it appears they are certainly giving h

As much as I want to see Vavra, Westburg, Henderson, and Stowers, there's an element of "if it's not broke don't fix it" going on.    This is not the time to be trading/releasing Odor or even turning

He’s back. Rehabbing in Aberdeen.

I’d like to see him up in Baltimore ASAP. You get what you can out of him knowing he could go back on the IL at any time.

Based on how he’s been played this year I think the org looks at him as more of an outfielder than a second baseman, which is unfortunate. Love to see him knock Owings off the roster.

The kid needs to prove he can stay on the field. He's got talent for sure, but he's quickly getting into Diaz territory when it comes to getting hurt.

I think Martin was coming up to replace Ownings long term. With Urias’ injury, I’m thinking Vavra is real close to getting the call. He just has to be healthy and there has to be an opening. If Urias isn’t out that long then he may have to wait until Odor is traded, IF he can stay healthy.

I feel like the excitement over Henderson’s and Westburg’s promotions to Norfolk and their good starts there have overshadowed the fact that Vavra is back and hitting very well.  He went 3 for 5 today and sports a .349 BA and .882 OPS at Norfolk.   He’s hitting .382/.447/.471 since he returned to Norfolk last week.   If he can stay healthy he could be on the big club in the second half.

Not sure where Vavra fits.  He can play 2B and the OF but it doesn't seem like they view him as a regular 2B and I have no idea what kind of defense he displays in the OF.    I get the feeling that full-time 2B is not in his future.  Probably either super utility guy (agree that he could replace McKenna), or possibly a replacement for Cedric Mullins if he's dealt.    Most likely, he's going to improve the ML depth as a bench player.   Someone you could have some confidence in at the plate unlike Mr. McKenna.

I think they like guys to have "positional versatility" and he doesn't have the arm for the LF of the infield, but he has some speed. He's probably a super utility, but a guy who starts 4+ times a week, not a McKenna who might start once, but come in often as a defensive replacement (I agree you probably don't need both on the roster though). I would expect Vavra to come up when they decide what they are going to do with Odor though

      12 Questions for the Offseason

      By StottyByNature · Posted

      A question precedes #2: when will the left field wall be fixed?  I think I remember Elias saying they probably went too far, which is quite literally true.  No reason they can't fix it quickly.  I had no problem with them moving it back but it is pretty absurd where it is.

      On #3, I would guess that Elias is very wary about going longer than 3 years for a starting pitcher (maybe four years if pitcher is younger and AAV is favorable).  I think Mike and Sig believe the history of long-term SP deals isn’t favorable and the wrong deal could derail a mid-market team with dead money.  I’m not sure they are wrong (e.g., Patrick Corbin, Strasberg).   I don’t think ownership cares directly; I would guess they just give Elias an annual baseball ops budget and forecast and he can choose how he manages against that.   Not in play Gerrit Cole Corbin Burnes Max Fried Blake Snell Jack Flaherty    Possible free agent targets Yusei Kikuchi Nathan Eovaldi Nick Pivetta Sean Manaea Luis Severino Alex Cobb Max Scherzer Justin Verlander Jose Quintana Frankie Montas Spencer Turnbull Andrew Heaney Matthew Boyd   Possible trade targets Garret Crotchet Sandy Alcantera Jesus Luzardo Eduardo Cabrera Reid Detmers Emerson Hancock Jordan Montgomery Lance McCullers Jr.

      Is Webb anything special.  I would rather replace Webb with Norfolk shuttle guy.

      Our SS is Gunnar, our CF in this scenario would be Cowser, and C is Adley. Hopefully none of those guys are in contention for being the team's worst hitter next season. We don't need a power bat in LF - we need to add a good contact bat, that can use all fields and run.

      I would not pick up O'Hearn 8m option

      Kemp was part of it but bringing back 2 UTIL IF is blocking your best prospect when your manager covets veteranosity. If they aren’t resigned then Holliday gets a longer leash.

      LF is a bit of a waste of a spot for #9 hitter.  Its not a premium defensive position so you shoudl be able to get a decent bat who can also play there.  If you're worst hitter isn't an SS, C or CF, either you're contending for a WS , or something isn't quite right.  And this team isn't quite WS contenders just yet.

      How does Povich fit into your 2025 plans?

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      A lot could change between now and then, but right now he's the 4th starter. I like Povich more than most around here and think he can be a solid 4th starter. He may have been command days, but he doesn't get hit hard.  The cool new Baseball Savant chart shows his fastball and curve and have above average movement and is why his slightly below average velocity (.9 MPH below MLB avg for LHP) plays up a bit.
