Anthony Servideo 2022

Recommended Posts

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.

    • The last column is IRS, which means “inherited runners scored”  Inherited runners would be IR and I am surprised that I didn’t see it anywhere in that column. This particular site has a different set of initials, IRS means inherited runners scored. I don’t think that can possibly be correct, because that would be a huge number.
    • LOL. 1.  I never said Basallo was an elite athlete. 2. I’ve said I’d like to see Basallo improve his plate discipline similar to what he showed 2nd half last year. 3. Basallo also needs to keep improving defensively. 4. I hope Basallo can improve over the 2nd half of the season. 5. I’d like to see Holliday cut down the strikeouts and get his average over .300 6.  I think he has a flaw in his mechanics which causes him to pull off the ball.  I hope he corrects it.   Where’s the problem?
    • Trust me, you missed nothing by missing the Coliseum.   Why “should” we have swept Seattle?   They’re leading their division, playing in their park.  I’m really happy to have taken 2 of 3.  Losing the 2-0 lead was disappointing but the offense just didn’t do much in that game and obviously the pen had a bad day.   More generally, I never “expect” a sweep of any opponent.   Sure, I hope for some sweeps, and we’ve had some.  But even a team like Oakland wins more than 1/3 of its games, and the odds basically never favor a sweep even when a really good team faces a really bad one.   Just win the game in front of us, that’s my plan.   
    • I'm going to somebody other than Akin.  Perez wasn't available since he pitched in back to back games. Same goes for Kimbrel.  I generally like Cano when he hasn't had a ton of rest which hurts sinkerballers, so he'd be a decent option.  In order of preference there: Webb Cano Let Baker finish it out Akin  Tate I reckon Hyde had that Showalter in him and was hoping to use Webb in the 9th. But I'm really opposed to just slotting guys into innings and more about putting them in based on effectiveness and situation. High leverage is really going against guys like Akin. 
    • BBref game logs, you can click and highlight by month or whatever stretch of starts that you want.
    • That works, though I'd really prefer it if we didn't trade within the division, if possible.  I'd rather our prospects helped other teams rather than rivals.
