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.

Not gonna lie, I'm pretty upset I'm going to miss this one.     Was totally lying there, I'd much rather be asleep.

We are covering old ground here, but there have been 57 players chosen 25th overall, which is where we drafted Stewart.   Stewart’s 0.5 rWAR ranks 20th among those 57.   23 of them never made the majo

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

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.

      Wait Till Next Year

      By Allan Bryant · Posted

      One thing I noticed and don’t care for is…….” We have Bautista coming back so we don’t need to sign All-star FA closer “  and “ since we have Elfin coming back we dont need resign Burnes “ and “ we have Bradish returning from injury so why we need another FA starter ? “  My point is that we can’t count on Bautista , Bradish , Wells , Means & others to return and pick up where they left off .  I advocate Elias to strike hard and fast during upcoming Free Agency season .

      Goodbye Brandon Hyde!

      By Flightless · Posted

      Hey man, It breaks my heart that the O’s destroyed our season of hope. Hyde’s got to go. Watching those post-game excuses and lack of fire is not good for inspiration - club house or fans!. Pathetic. Call out stuff, not play victim. Apparently every team had amazing pitching! (Eye roll). A re-set is going to happen. A few more guys getting experience, a few guys going away, and revamping that horrible bullpen. Easy moves: let Santander walk, don’t waste money on LT contracts for SP - even Burnes, get Alex Bregman! , get more speed!

      Where are the pollyannas?

      By Emory Eagle · Posted

      Division is going to be tough next year.  Rays have reloaded, Red Sox have a new core in place and will likely supplement with a big Fa splash or two, and the Yankees will continue to be the Yankees. Ultimately O’s success or lack thereof will rest on the improvement of their young positional talent, but seems like we need to add some kind of weapon vs left handed pitching.  And will need to either replace or resign Burnes, not something easy to do without significant financial investment.

      ALWC Game 1 Attendance

      By Allan Bryant · Posted

      I think the 10 straight postseason losses have/will continue their toll on O’s fans . When doubts and pessimism about the team’s performance, the empty seats could still be issue when next October comes .  My hope is Rubenstein and Elias will conclude that status quo is NOT acceptable .

      Adley shares tough health admission

      By Pickles · Posted

      Look, I don't want to insult you or anybody else, but arguing that a 55 win team is the same as a 95 win team is moronic beyond belief. It's just that simple.

      Adley shares tough health admission

      By MDK02 · Posted

      So everything is great as long as we just make the playoffs? At what point is expecting to win a playoff game acceptable? Isn’t the goal to win a WS or is it to win more than 80 games? If we’re just going to keep failing when it really matters in the playoffs then 55 wins or 95 wins doesn’t make a difference in the grand scheme of things. In fact, you could argue 55 is better for the long term.

      Right right after both Adley and Hyde have been saying for 2 months that he is completely healthy
