Rylan Bannon 2022

[Frobby]

Rylan Bannon is a guy I’d just about given up for dead after his .177/.297/.370 slash line last year.   Almost all his production (10 of his 16 homers) came in one ten game hot spell; otherwise he was awful all year.   

He’s come back in 2022 like a different guy.   So far, in 14 games he’s hit .353/.441/.510.    
 

I don’t think you can draw too much for 14 games.   It could just be a hot streak like he had last year (less homer-driven though).   But, it’s encouraging to see that he’s off to a good start and put himself back on the prospect radar.

.951 OPS playing in Norfolk, that is impressive even if it is only 14 games. I dont know if the Orioles see him as someone they'd want to try at 3B or not but he's going to give them a decision to make.

Bannon made his 3rd error at 3B in 10 games this year.  He is not ready for a promotion.  Too many errors at 3B and not enough range at 2B IMO.

I don't put much stock into things like 3 errors in 10 games but I suspect his 3B defense is a average at best and probably below.  I doubt his offense is good enough at the ML level but it goes under the heading "We have nothing to lose by giving him a look".

It's a well known fact that you can't work on your defense once you get to the majors.

I want to see these guys at AAA get at least 100 at bats before they are called up.(Barring injuries at the MLB level).   If this is their first chance at AAA then 200 at bats.

Except for Adley.

Adley needs 300 at bats.

We need a pool on how many different ways you can say the same joke before it gets old.  I'm going with 3 but we're at least 100 past that.

4th error tonight.

Got the call to the show.  He’s got a little pop.  Wish him well.  Always fun to see someone’s debut.

He's only on the taxi squad, did not actually get called up.

Misread that.  Thanks!

I hope Bannon gets his shot eventually, but his wild bouts of streakiness in the minors doesn't convince me he's a ML caliber guy.

Good luck to him.  Heading back to the Dodgers organization.  He had a .754 OPS across 78 games at Norfolk this year.

No hard feelings........seems like he was just getting surpassed by other prospects here.

Was looking at the ifer's at Norfolk and I thought Grenier or Gutierrez would go before Bannon.  Not mad though, glad to clear the spot.
