Trendon Craig made his full season debut today.   Drafted in the 20th round last year for over 100K.   He went 1 or 2 with 2 walks and 1 strikeout and 2 stolen bases.

Are you planning on making a 2022 page for every minor leaguer? Typically we wait until they resemble a prospect on the scene. Maybe make a guy who was a 20th round pick and who was 20 years, 303 days old before he was able to make his Low-A debut earn his way a bit before we start tracking his every swing? 

Unless he was hurt, the fact he could not open on a full season club was huge orange flag for me on his progress. Similar to Creed Willems, but even worse because of his age. When you look at such luminaries like 23-year old Davis Tavárez who were playing in the outfield before him, gotta make you go hmmm.

But, in your defense, nice first game. ;)

Well, he did get a $250,000 signing bonus, higher than anyone else we drafted after the 8th round.   No harm in following how he does, orange flag or not (and yes, I agree he has one).

There's no harm in following any player I guess. I just prefer we let players earn their way into a "season tracker" thread. Just my preference but not a rule.

I just counted up 48 MiL players who have their own thread for 2022.   Most of whom, admittedly, have done more than Trendon Craig.

Haha. What does it matter who has a 2022 thread and who doesn't?  The guys who don't produce will be on page 3 by next week and never seen again.  I just wanted to note that Craig had finally made his debut at Delmarva.  I humbly apologize for the thread title. How about "Non-prospect Craig debuts in Delmarva" or "Non-worthy thread. Click elsewhere!"?

See, this is where you fail Orioles Hangout 101. One of my jobs on here and something I've done for oh, I don't know, 20+ years is to keep the boards moving with information and to tidy up things when it's starts to get cluttered. I beleive it clutters things up when you start 2022 thread for guys who weren't even in our top 75 prospects at the end of the year.

Now, if a 20th round pick who is almost 22 years old and couldn't make Delmarva over the rif raft that did gets you excited, feel free. However, I woul prefer if we don't make 2022 threads until they are top 30 prospects, on the bubble or doing something of worthiness.

Trendon Craig has a 9 game hitting streak. He has 5 multi hit games during that streak.  His OPS for the 10 games in June is over 1.000.  His overall OPS is .782.  He turns 22 on July 11.   Is he a prospect?  Maybe not yet but maybe he's getting into "interesting"  territory?

He’s worth following.

      Arizona Fall League

      I would say it’s without a doubt better competition.   Many current and former ML players in the winter leagues.   The Arizona Fall League is basically AA.

      A look ahead to the 2025 payroll

      Per CBA rules, hasn’t most (90%) of the deferred buyouts have to be already set aside in present value?  This is why not shown in the payments itemization.  Same with Bobby Bonilla for NYM and why Shohei Ohtani shown in terms of AAV present value.

      Are we at the point that we want to give the backup catcher 225-250 PAs? If that's the case, I'd like to see an upgrade from McCann.

      With another 1.5 months of performance results...

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      1.5 months of data shouldn't make any difference. These guys have too much upside to trade. I'm most concerned about Mayo, more due to lack of position than the early hitting results. Still, no regrets even if Skubal was available, which I highly doubt

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      By ChuckS · Posted

      I'm not in the group that expected us to miss the playoffs a few days ago.  This thread was a bit silly at the time, and has now become completely irrelevant.  But stating we are going to win 5 of the next 9 games as a fact, is just as ignorant as the people who think we are going to lose out or continue the tailspin to the point that we will miss the playoffs.  As much as I can't stand constant negativity, I also can't stand people who have no tolerance for any negativity, or pessimism, or whatever you want to call it.  If you just want to be a part of a cheerleading group and resent any criticism of the team, a hardcore fan message board is probably not the place for you.  Not just speaking to this poster, but as a retort to similar opinions in general.

      Would the team be any better off with Skubal than they are now, considering the hitting woes?  I think that’s debatable, and questionable enough that I wouldn’t give up that high level talent to find out.    Who knows if the Tigers would have even done that?  They’ve made a nice run behind Skubal and the rest of their staff since the deadline. I think it’s a good chance they extend him to lead that young team into the next several years of what they hope are contending teams. Decent position player pool there.

      AL playoff picture

      By Fiver6565 · Posted

      The Tigers are a fun story, reminiscent of the ‘22 birds a little bit (if that team had had a CY winner heading the rotation). But we need to end the dream for them this weekend. Take care of business versus Detroit and next weeks games will hardly matter. We can get our staff set up for the WC series after their next turn. That would be ideal.
