If you think Gutierrez defense is bad just wait.  

He had a pretty rough day yesterday. I was hopeful that he could hit a little coming out of ST but he never really got going.

 

There's two other guys that I would rather see gone over Gutierrez though.

Looks like the youth movement is slowly beginning. Hopefully Nevin holds down the 3B job until Gunnar and Westburg are ready. Nevin's bat is badly needed.

I just want to see the guys who we know don’t have any present or future value like Odor, Owings, and Gutierrez cycled out of here ASAP. 

Not a big believer in Nevin but maybe he will surprise.  Let’s keep them coming….Jones, Bannon and whoever else is behind them. Too bad Vavra went down to injury.

Santander not in the lineup Roch said not sure hurt or rest day

Just guessing here, but he had that on-base streak going until last night, so a rest day tonight seems to make sense?

I'm not sure why Gutierrez is on the roster if they felt a need to pull up Nevin to play 3B. This is such a weird roster with a bench of Gutierrez, Benboom, Owings and McKenna. That might possibly be the worse hitting bench in all of baseball. I can't imagine a worse one. 

Just guessing here. I couldn't agree with you more about the anemic bench...

But maybe because he can move around a lot? Maybe fill in for Santander later in the game, since AS isn't in the lineup tonight?

Hyde can move him around to other corner positions in the infield and outfield.

I’m not expecting Nevin to be a savior.  The guy had a .696 OPS last season in AAA, .744 in AA in 2019.    He’s been off to a hot start this year, which is great, but I’ll be surprised if he’s anything more than a modest offensive upgrade, if that.   And despite the errors yesterday, Gutierrez has the better glove.

I do see some value in shaking things up a little.

Yeah his track record before this season is pretty poor. So your probably right but the O's saw something in him to want to call him up.

Yes, I'm afraid it is and they proved it again tonight.

Nevin is not the long term answer.  I’m just happy they are giving him a few weeks of better pay as a reward for his hot start.  More importantly , it clears our an IF position at Norfolk and starts the dominoes falling.  Would be nice to see him have some moderate success and make it difficult for team to move him off third, but I’m not holding my breath for that.

I think this really puts the nail in the Gutierrez coffin, which is fine. I just wish he got more of a chance instead of Owings. I didnt mind the signing but the amount of playing time Owings has had at the expense of Guti has been absurd.

I personally can't wait until May 2 when 2 of these options will have to go. Do I have that right?

Nevin starting against the righty Eovaldi as well as the lefty Hill yesterday.

Last night for the 27th out, Hyde going to Owings not Gutierrez seemed odd to me.   Could be a day to day thing, but it seems possible that Kelvin Gutierrez's 3-month tryout is over, and Tyler Nevin's opportunity for regular at-bats for a little while is here, if he can show the glove is day-to-day playable at the MLB level.

That is interesting.  It could be that Owings is going to be kept d/t positional flexibility and Gutierrez is going to be cut.  2 out Owings, Gutierrez and Odor need to go.  I would prefer it be Owings and Odor, but can understand if it's Gutierrez and Odor.

I hope Nevin isn’t part of the youth movement.  I want good players for that.
