In 2019, 16 guys got 100+ PAs for the Orioles. Only 6 of them are still major leaguers (Mancini, Santander, Severino, Alberto, Peterson, and Villar).

That same year, 14 Dodgers got 100+ PAs. 13/14 are still in the majors (Russell Martin retired).

No point here, just thought it was interesting. 

 

I think a point could be made that the O's have been giving a lot of ABs to marginal major leaguers.  Players who's career will likely be over next year or the year after.

So after 4-plus shutout innings in his first start (albeit with four hits and 3 BB's), Ellis fails to get an out, giving up 5 runs in his second start. Last year he put up a 2.49 ERA but greatly outperformed other metrics (5.7 K/9 vs 4.6 BB/9, 5.22 FIP) as well as his minor league resume. I thought the minor league contract was worth a shot but I wonder how many more starts he gets with Bradish and Grayson breathing down his neck.

Probably none considered he's injured.

Not surprised at all that Stweart cleared waivers. I'm mildly surprised the Orioles didn't just release but I guess they culd decide he's than Stowers or Neustrom who are the next two outfielders to be recalled.

Triple-A has the expanded rosters, and Vavra is out, he's insurance I guess. But if I was Stewart I would want to find a different org. Not sure how that works though, if he's allowed to refuse?

I thought the first time you were DFA'ed, you had to stay with your current team if unclaimed.  I'm pretty sure the O's would accomodate Stewart if he found an organization that wanted him.

Is he allowed to contact them?

2nd time you're DFA'ed, you can refuse assignment?

A player who is DFA'd may only be outrighted to the minor once without his permission.   The 2nd time he can refuse and become a free agent or accept the assignment and become a free agent at the end of the season if he is not put on the 40 man roster.

This is from COT's Contracts under Designated for Assignment.

    • Baring injury Adley gets more War. Who do you want up to bat in a winner take all playoff game? Who do you want behind the plate with a Rickey Henderson type on first base in a tie ballgame 9th inning? I really bought into the switch hitting Jesus thing with Wieters.  This disappointment (perhaps misguided) led me to really not want to use a 1/1 draft pick on a catcher.   I am kind of wishing we went with Witt.   I think I heard people saying the most important position on defense is catcher.  So how does it compare to SS or Centerfield.   Would you be better off using Rick Dempsey type all glove and arm with light bat or going all in on a 1/1 on a catcher? If this has already been discussed tons dont yell at me I sometimes go months or weeks without posting.  
    • Glad Bob Melvin and I don’t see eye to eye on that issue Well said, that make two of us, Bunting Ced down 5-3 with nobody out that late in the game is absurd.
    • 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. 
    • 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.
