Anthony Servideo 2022

[RZNJ]

We have a Servideo sighting.  DH'ing today for the FCL Orioles.   First Baumler, now Servideo, and Kjerstad should be by the end of the week.    That 2020 draft was snakebit!     It looked pretty good with Westburg and Mayo but it could look a whole lot better in a month or two.

He is where he is based on the injury and COVID year, but he needs to move quickly in the system.  Right now he looks just like a better version of Glenn Gulliver with a .246 BA and .489 OBP and .311 SLG in just 61 AB (with 28 BB).

Here are Gulliver's stats for your comparing pleasure:

Gulliver made a real offensive contribution to the 1982 pennant race and the only other time I can recall hearing about him after 1983 was in the 1991 "all former Orioles take the field" ceremony after the last out at Memorial Stadium.

Any post that remembers Glenn Gulliver gets an up vote for me.

Saying that, I'm not sure what we know about Servideo. He seems to be able to get on base and hasn't shown much power, but we've also barely seen him. 

I'd like to see him up in Delmarve for 100 PAs and hopefully he's ready for Aberdeen.

Went to the ShoreBirds game Tuesday night hoping to see this guy. He was penciled in the starting lineup playing 2B and batting 7th. However, to my disappointment , he didn't play. Noticed he was not in the lineup for last night`s game.  Strange.

I’ve kind of forgotten Servideo even exists at this point.   We have so many MI prospects progressing well while Servideo has been idling.

Here's one guy who can't get his career started for over 2 years now.   Good luck, Anthony!

SS Anthony Servideo is joining Alex Wells on a rehab assignment with the FCL Orioles.

Servideo did play yesterday, as DH and walking twice in three PA.

Roch has an interview with Servideo up on his blog.   Seems he’s healthy, for now.  https://www.masnsports.com/blog/servideo-back-in-good-health-and-working-to-stay-that-way

This is an interesting prospect with good bloodlines. He was a rather average player in the SEC at Ol' Miss until the shortened 2020 season when he blew up. In 17 games he had 5 HRs, 3 2Bs and hit .390/.575/.695. 

He's a bit more than a lottery ticket kind of player now but the injuries and COVID have really robbed him of any real development opportunities. He's hit exactly 1 professional HR. 

So who is this kid? I don't think we know until the end of 2023. I think he starts back at Delmarva but could start at Aberdeen. He's going to be competing with Holliday for reps at SS soon. I hope he has a solid year as I see him as trade bait for 2024 and beyond.

[Frobby]

Honestly, to me he’s kind of a forgotten prospect.  Anything positive he does will be gravy at this point.  We’re stacked with MI prospects and Servideo is way down the list by now.  

[RZNJ]

I'm rooting for him but it's hard to know if a healthy Servideo is any good.   Was he healthy his first season in Delmarva?    There were some encouraging signs but he had a lot of swing and miss even then and no power.   Hopefully, he can pull a "Joey Ortiz" and come back healthy AND a better hitter.

[Jammer7]

He’s a bit of a long shot at this point, but he’s an athlete. If he stays healthy, I like him as a super UT type. Not much power, but every other tool is average or better. We played against him several times over the years, he’s a talented gamer. He’s got a little Austin Hays in him. 

[Tony-OH]

He's a wildcard at this point. We really don't know who he is because of the injuries. Next year is certainly a make or break year for him to be a priority play. He's got to stay healthy and produce.
