And this is why having sent McKenna down is an issue. Also I have no clue why Owings is on the roster

When the Orioles have signed a free agent, they have a strong preference for paying him to play for them rather than paying him not to play. A lousy player like Owings can overcome that preference, but it takes a long time.

I’d rather have McKenna on the team than Nevin.  Not even close.  Maybe they want to get McKenna every day ABs. 

He’s fighting for time with Rizer, Neustrom, Diaz, Jones (getting ABs in lf), and DJ Stewart (barely sniffing time).  He hasn’t done particularly well since going down to AAA.   It’s all these guys last tryout.  Have to start seeing some Guys released from org in the near future.

It doesn’t make sense that McKenna isn’t on this roster.  He has great speed, plays good defense, and was actually hitting well when he got sent down.  Nevin doesn’t bring anything to the table.

Both don’t bring much.  It’s just a polite audition at this point.  Neustrom and Diaz will get their shot at some point as well.  Something has got to give, there aren’t enough ABs to go around.  IMO neither McKenna nor Nevin bring much to the table.  McKenna is fast yes, but doesn’t do anything else well.
