Gunnar Henderson 2022

[Sports Guy]

That’s one of the best lefty pitching prospects in baseball.

You know, a real argument is building that he is the best prospect in the organization and that includes Adley.

“Give that *man a contract”

If we weren’t still tanking he could he brought up in the same way Manny came up in 2012. Damn shame though

He put up better numbers in AA than Adley, at a much younger age.   Not that that’s always meaningful, but it supports the case.

Manny was the opposite side of tanking.  In a normal year he wouldn't have been called up.

I'm just joshing you.  No being mean in a good vibe thread.

And if he sticks at SS, he’s at a more important position imo…hell, I prefer third too.

Way younger, premium position, high walk rate, lots of power, etc…it’s tough to find a better prospect in any system, much less this one.  I mean, a case can be made that Adley is #3 because of age.

Gunnar watch...Hes up next.

He's playing 3B tonight But ihave no idea if the rotation is still in play. We should maybe get a clearer picture of that in Norfolk but then  mayb the O's are fine playing Gunnar at two different positions in the pros.

Gunnar walked in his second at bat. Westburg followed with a single and then Stowers doubled him in.

Fun stuff.

The Norfolk lineup has four highly ranked prospects batting 1-4: Vavra, Henderson, Westburg, Stowers.   Their whole lineup looks pretty good these days.

The energy in that dugout has to be incredible.

In Nashville of all places.   Which brother lives there now?   Wonder if he is in the house?
