Only 1 Orioles team this year.

Astros the only organization with 2 teams

Interesting.  I think they can pretty much field a full team, no problem, just with Latin prospects.   Would have been a challenge with two teams.

1B 

2B Bencosme

SS Hernandez

3B Delosantos 

C Basallo

LF Acevedo

CF Lara

RF Feliciano

DH Gonzalez

I assume we haven’t seen an official roster yet.   In any event, I love having some box scores to check in the middle of the afternoon—whenever it isn’t raining down there!  So, I’m looking forward to the DSL and FCL seasons.

Pretty close.  No Feliciano. Anthony Servideo and Raul Rangel sightings.  Both listed as active.

Perhaps less than a week until an official Kjerstad sighting??

Always love quoting myself!

I thought I had read that Kjerstad might see some FCL action but according this MASN post it sounds like not.  Just "Delmarva later this month."

So, more waiting for now.

You can never read too much into where players play in their debuts since the Orioles love to move guys around like blackjack dealer moves cards, but the only surprise in the FCL opening day lineup with Anderson De Los Santos starting at DH while Rolphie Cruz played 3B. 

I would have figured De los Santos would have been the priority play at 3B. I'm sure he will have some playing time there but just a little surprise as you would think the better prospect would get the opening day gig.

Feliciano is "repeating" in the DSL today.

Lots of 2021 dsl names on today's DSL rosters.  Feliciano is the biggest bonus baby on his 2nd go round.  $400,000.

Well his .202/.312/.353/.665 was not exactly eye opening last year but then again, neither was Maikol Hernández's  .231/.340/.308/.647 but he's in Florida. 

Junior Lara and Angel Tejada are on the roster but didn't make the opening day roster over two repeats in Gonzalez and Acevedo.

Weird roster additions to the FCL roster:
Dax Stubbs made the FCL team after slashing .079/.294/.079/.373 last year as an 18-year old in the DSL.
Yonatan Pineda made the team despite a 10.57 and walking 23 in 15.1 IP in the DSL last year. He's 20 years old now.

Who doesn’t love a guy named Dax Stubbs!
Unusual twist coming up from DSL.   Sounds more like a Texarkana kind of guy.   (Pardon my stereotypes)

    • Agreed, they were trying to preserve Burnes there. The division still hadn't been clinched, so try to win the game but within the rest management plan for your ace. Hopefully the fact they used Cano means there aren't any major concerns about his rest, but now you have to wonder.
    • Yeah both Burnes and Hyde said after the game it's because Burnes is going on regular rest to start the first WC game and so he was shortened up a bit. 
    • You seem to pine for guys in AAA and then (with one notable exception) judge them very harshly if they don’t perform well instantly in the majors.  This is not the time to start experimenting with Young, and that’s no reflection on him at all IMO.
    • I agree with the part about Elias. He needs to operate with a little more humility (regarding his bullpen approach) and pivot in the offense regarding how he puts a pen together. He needs to get away from the arrogant thinking in believing that we are always "the smartest guys in the room" and can fix other teams junk/unwanted parts. That is fine to do some time (regardless of how much you spend). But you can't construct an entire pen made of castoffs and almost no guys with elite/power/strikeout stuff. Yes it worked great with Felix, Perez/Lopez in 22', Cano in 23'. But the problem is that we are in '24. And some of those lightening in the bottle guys have reverted back to what their talent says that they are - mediocre. We have a pen full of decent/league average/mediocre arms. That's not what you really want heading into October.
    • Also, since there’s another interesting discussion going on here, I think it’s time for Hyde to have an uncomfortable conversation with Adley. I hate everything I’m about to say, because Adley is my favorite Oriole. But we have to acknowledge where we are.  Over the last few months, the only sensible approach with Adley — other than the IL, which apparently he hasn’t been eligible for — has been to keep penciling him into the lineup almost everyday and hoping he figures it out. He has a track record of consistent lifelong excellence, so it’s felt like just a matter of time before he busts the slump and rights the ship.  But he hasn’t. Adley’s line over the last 3 months, almost half a season now, is so bad that it requires a double check to be sure it’s right: .186 / .274 / .278 / .552. A 61 wRC+. And -0.2 fWAR. He has been a below replacement player for 3 months now. He has been the 3rd-worst qualified hitter in baseball over that span, and the 7th-worst overall qualified player. The “qualified” part does make it a little misleading — most of the guys who’ve been this bad have long since been benched. I think you have to consider McCann, at least in Burnes’s starts. He’s been hitting a bit (114 wRC+ since the ASB), and even if he wasn’t on a bit of a heater, his normal baseline is still better than a .552 OPS. If you do continue to play him full-time, you just can’t treat him like he’s *Adley* anymore. You have to treat him like the bad backup catcher he’s been. He has to hit at the bottom of the order. The very bottom. There’s really no reasoned basis upon which you could want to have him get more ABs than guys like Mullins or Urias right now. And you have to PH for him liberally — whichever of Kjerstad/O’Hearn doesn’t start should be looking at Adley’s slot as their most likely opportunity.  As I said, I love Adley. It’s been brutal watching him. But there are 25 other guys on the team who deserve the best shot to win a ring. And that means you can’t just keep stubbornly handing all the ABs to a guy who is desperately lost, on the blind hope that he’ll suddenly find it. 
    • I didn’t post it in the game thread no, but I’m also not looking for credit. I thought it was a bad move at the time to remove Burnes in the first place, and choosing Cano at that point after he’d been bombed by those exact hitters, felt odd and off to me. The only real defense I could come up with was who if not Cano?  But taking Burnes out is essentially admitting that winning that night wasnt your top priority anyway, so why not also rest Cano, who you absolutely need in the playoffs and has pitched a lot?  I just didn’t get it in real time, and I still don’t. 
    • I was at a meeting and came out to the Orioles down 1-0. I looked away for what seemed like a minute and it was 5-0, then 7-0. Do we know why Burnes was lifted after just 69 pitches after 5 innings? Was he hurt? Do we know why Cano was brought into the game in the 6th (Have to imagine his adrenaline may not have been as flowing at that stage of the game)?  Obviously the bullpen was pretty horrific last night, but could some of this be because Hyde was using guys who typically are late in game relievers in the 6th inning?
