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.

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

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.

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.

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.

      Adley's health this season

      Good, he should cry. His performance the last 3 months including playoffs isnt something that gets forgotten easily. Atleast not for me

      I wonder if Adley's issues are something health related but not necessarily an injury per se.  IIRC we all found out in the offseason that Ced was suffering from Crohn's in.......2020?  2021? 🤔  After Ced was pretty dreadful offensively all that season (whichever year it was). I mean something like that could potentially be at play with Adley.  Health issue but not an "injury."  Maybe something that was medically revealed after the HBP? IDK, spitballing here.

      Not trying to be naive or contradictory, but are we sure that he's swinging at bad pitches?

      I tend to agree, I'm not convinced. Cowser had hand/nerve stuff and continued to play his game. Westburg broke his hand, came back, and looked good. Not sure why getting hit on the hand suddenly made Adley swing at trash out of the zone.

      I hate that Adley getting hit on the hand is the excuse why he kept playing and his season went down the crapper, yet Italian Breakfast gets hit on the hand, breaks his thumb and works his ass off to get back to his team in time for the playoffs.    I’m a 50% believer that Adley getting hit on the hand is the reason that he was so bad towards the end of the season, but it still doesn’t explain the drop in OBP. He’s getting down to Adam Jones levels of on base percentage.  His approach seems to be totally different than when he first came up. A hurt hand doesn’t have anything to do with that.

      I watched both the Elias and Hyde press conferences in full and they both get weird around the Adley question. You can feel the hesitation on saying it's not an injury, and the way they kind of squirm around the question. If we can point to the HBP then surely they can do and would have done MRIs if Adley still felt iffy after the x-ray. Unless he's truly hiding it. But it sure feels like all parties know about something and for some reason that makes no sense to me, they aren't divulging it.

      They might not even know. Initial x-rays were negative, it's possible that Adley thought he could just play through it and maybe it wasn't painful, just fatigued? Who knows. But unless Adley tells them (assuming they're not hiding it), nothing they can really do. Wonder if Adley just felt the All Star Break was coming up, so he'd just deal.  I think it's way too obvious of a data point to ignore, personally.
