Henderson on what's been happening lately after the big night.

"Last year I hit the ball really well to the opposite field, but I've been getting pitched in a lot lately so I just got into a pull mode," Henderson said. "But then they started going back away and I've had some trouble snapping back to going the other way. But, I was able to stay on it today and I have a good feel for what to do now and I'm looking forward to keeping it going."

Not saying he's the better prospect, but I have more anticipation about him eventually coming up than Adley.

He very well could end up a better hitter than Adley. Think about if Henderson was coming out this year if he gone to college. He definitely would have been the 1-1. Luckily for us, he's in our system and we got another 1-1 shortstop in Holliday.

Wow...what a nice "problem" to have!  :)

How is Henderson’s defense at SS? Does he look like a natural there, does he make it look easy? Does he make the difficult plays with occasional spectacular  or is he just consist make the routine plays type of defender?

He can make a spectacular play and has the arm for SS, but he doesn't throw particularly accurate on the run and while he's athletic enough to still handle shortstop, I think he's going to continue to add good weight on his already 6-2, 210 frame and will be better off at 3B.

    • the question isn’t about being able to make the offers, it’s about being awarded compensatory picks for more than one.
    • I don’t consider a 4 o’clock game a night game. He also caught Wednesday night and Thursday day this week. Moral of the story is McCann will start 4 games in 7 days because he is Burnes preferred catcher.
    • It is absolutely possible. In 2022, the Mets gave a QO to Bassitt, Nikki, and DeGrom. The Red Sox gave a QO to Boegarts and Eovaldi. The Yankees gave a QO to Judge and Rizzo. The Dodgers gave a QO to Turner and Anderson. I know that it seems to be a foregone conclusion that Santander will not be on the team after this season, and while I generally agree that it is more probable than not that he will not be re-signed, I do think there is a non-zero chance that he will be retained. I think he is the most likely of Mullins, Hays, and himself to be retained, even if it is a small chance. The team has told us how they feel about his bat because he plays essentially everyday, and I have heard Kostka say that they value his clubhouse presence.
    • Santander won’t get a QO, and if he did, he would accept. His defense is declining and we have too many capable youngsters who should replace him effectively. But to your question, I don’t know if there’s a limit, but I doubt it.
    • O's will probably have to wait till July for a trade because there are so many more buyers than sellers.  I think teams like the Blue Jays, Rays Tigers and Mets are likely to be sellers but they are still in the race although not very good teams as constituted. 
    • No Scott. He’s way too undependable. We need someone who WON’T enter a game and walk folks like he’s promoting a healthy lifestyle. He’s been a lot bette4 this season, but he’s too undependable, and we already have too many of those. No Flaherty either. That’s like taking your GF back after she cheated on you.
    • The team's continued success has really put Elias on the spot IMO and I don't see a Flaherty type as an option anymore.  My money is on a sensible trade that comes at a price high enough that most of us here, including myself, won't like, but a premium comes with having bad luck and that's where the O's are at the moment.
