Not gonna lie, I'm pretty upset I'm going to miss this one.

 

 

Was totally lying there, I'd much rather be asleep.

Think DJ clears? I kind of think he'll get claimed or traded for cash. Former 1st round pick, still young, someone will dream on the lefty power. We gave him a lot of chances, so my conscious is clear about it. 

[SteveA]

Think anyone claims DJ on waivers?

[joelala]

I think he’ll clear. If he could field at all he definitely wouldn’t. But he can’t. 

[Sports Guy]

Could see Oakland claiming him.

[Big Mac]

We don't even have at-bats for him at Norfolk so I hope for his sake somebody claims him.

5 call ups a season for a player and Elias is burning through some pretty quick here in the first two weeks.  Will be interesting if that ever comes into play.

Any options before May 2nd don't count (this year only)

I never thought Stewart was a good pick for a variety of reasons but fairly confident he will get claimed just b/c he hasn’t gotten an extended look and has pop, so with the DH in the NL, I bet he goes there.

Would be nice for Stewart if another team claims him. And I'd rather the PA's in Norfolk go to someone else.

I think there’s still a chance he has a decent MLB career, but it won’t be in Baltimore. I bet he is claimed.

I also have no issue with that because I don’t wanna see him try to gain traction at this level while blocking other OF that I would much rather see.

I would be surprised if Stewart gets claimed. He just doesn’t hit well enough to make up for his defensive shortcomings.

He’s also 28 years old so I don’t see him being viewed as a young player with potential who just never got a fair chance.

[Frobby]

Somewhere, webbrick2010 is throwing a party.   

I’d love for Stewart to go somewhere and have an opportunity to get steady at bats, but he may not get that chance.

I think that if he gets picked up it will be as a bench piece on a contender.
