I got a chance to see Henderson play in person for the first time today.  I’ve watched dozens of his games on TV but hadn’t had a chance to see him play live.   My observations are the following:

I learned a ton watching him today.  The kid is fearless and carries himself like a big leaguer.   You can see all the tools are there.   Honestly, I was even impressed by him spoiling an 0-2 pitch an

He’s got a legitimate chance to be a top 5 prospect in baseball by the end of the season 

I kind of doubt it.  Longenhagen was asked the other day and said he still has him at 68.   The quote appears earlier in this thread.

I saw that one too, and my .02 is that was Longenhagen just being frazzled and put upon in a chat.

Fangraphs prospect reports are famously in-depth and famously late.   He's shouldering more of the load since McDaniel hopped to ESPN, though he has some new collaborators.   It's mid-May and they are still not done their 2022 preseason lists for nine teams.   

I don't believe he's thought in depth about the opening weeks of guys on teams they've already finished or how they now interrelate.

If he keeps this up, I’d be shocked if he was still 68 at season’s end, provided they release new rankings.

Henderson would be top 50 easy if he finishes the year the way he has started.  A case could be made that he should be top 25.  The only way you could rate him 68th is if you discount his performance this year.

I don't care what he is ranked or what he will be ranked.   He is playing great offensively and defensively at AA.   See what he can do at AAA.   If he keeps doing what he is doing at AAA then promote him to the O's to play 3B.

And there should be a lot of eyes on Prieto.  His time to come to AA is approaching fast.

The dude has an OPS of 1.002 and 12 stolen bases.  He is pretty much dominating AA.

Also 31BB 24 SO. He had 29 games in GCL, 35 games in Delmarva, and 65 games in Aberdeen. He’s at 37 career games in Bowie. 
 

How would Elias justify holding him down until next June 15th in AAA if we promote him now?

The refresh following the big night.   If you toggle ages it gives him about 10th youngest of 82 Eastern League bats.   1st in wRC, 2nd in BB/K.

Only 5th in wSB and 9th in Spd.

Funny that you think Elias will be asked to justify the decision.

Milb.com shows him as 2nd in OPS in the Eastern League behind 25 year old Blake Perkins.

      Orioles, Matt Bowman Agree To Minor League Deal

      By HowAboutThat · Posted

      I may be misunderstanding, but if you are suggesting that you would recall Rogers for the playoffs, then I must respectfully and strongly disagree. Baker is odd man out here, or maybe Smith, but I would definitely keep Bowman

      A litmus test is if you'd prefer Trevor Rogers back for last guy. Tell me if it sounds crazy, but a pitcher you can sign to a minor league deal in mid-August might not be competitive with the world's greatest hitters in late September. It is fun to curate a trick pitch that works for a minute.

      Zach Eflin 2024

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Just read two interesting tidbits - Juan Soto has battered him something like 18/35 which seemed like a lot but I guess PHI and WSN saw each other a bunch in the NL East. Also that he passed 1000 career innings.   It caught me a little by surprise he has been around that long.    Fingers crossed Bradish and Grayson in their careers can get there.    Eflin is 3rd among pitchers at age 30 and down this season. Hopping to Active Leaders to see how few pitchers attain that in this Driveline/Arm Barn era, tonight he became the 57th active pitcher to get there.     He gives us the ~162 IP we hope for in 2025, it'd go up about 20 spots.

      What a difference a couple players make

      By HowAboutThat · Posted

      Westburg, Urias, Mountcastle… Good defense, even when there’s bad defense. Westburg missed a ball that went for a hit, but I didn’t feel any foreboding, no,”here we go again” because I felt sure that that one play wouldn’t ruin the game. And it didn’t. Good pitching, even when there’s bad pitching. Eflin had never in his whole career walked 5 guys, but I wasn’t worried, for some reason. Even when Bowman had his worst outing as an oriole, I wasn’t worried, no,”here we go again” because I felt sure we’d win. And we did. Good hitting, good base running, even when Santander REALLY wanted that triple… and didn’t get it.  The fundamental baseball smarts seem to have returned, so a mistake is just a mistake. I feel really good about this team now, even though they haven’t been perfect. I really feel they’ll cover for each other, and we will enter the playoffs strong. I feel most comfortable about facing the Yankees again; they just don’t seem like a strong team, and I’m not the least bit worried about facing them again.

      That is strong language coming from you.  The only recent guy I really couldn’t stand was Jimenez, though I sure wasn’t keen on Kimbrel for most of the season either.

      What is the O's magic number for home field advantage for the 1st round of the playoffs?

      By Frobby · Posted

      To state the obvious, the magic number for home field in the WC series is now 1, with 4 games remaining.   Would love to v close that out tomorrow va. the Yankees and then relax all weekend.
