Do you believe the O's will call up Henderson this season?

[interloper]

Simple question.

In a couple weeks, if the O's are still hunting a wild card spot Elias could feel obligated to give the team some kind of reinforcement. After all, playoff push = more fans = more money. The most obvious positional need is 3B. 

However, I could also see him sticking firmly to his promotion timeline regardless of the wild card hunt.

No.

I hope it.

I don't think it.

So vote!

I would be very surprised if he did.  So I voted no.

If they don’t, you can’t convince they care about winning soon.

I want them to promote Henderson. I think they should promote Henderson. But I voted "no". Service time, 40 man roster flexibility in the fall and winter, Henderson's relative youth, etc., will result in Henderson not being promoted this season. But I hope I am wrong.

Was the option to vote there when I replied?

If so I honestly didn't see it.

I don't think ME will ever "feel obligated" to do that. He might bring Stowers up but that is a 40 man move he might not want to make at this time. Maybe Hall but he isn't doing well consistently and has very few innings left. I can see ME playing games with Gunner's clock until a few weeks into 2023.

I think he should be our everyday 3B right now, but I don't think we'll see him at OPACY this year due to service time chicanery, so I voted no.

If I had a gun to my head, I'd have to go with a "no" but I think there's a chance.   I don't think it's before the 45 days threshold and after that may depend on if the team is still in the hunt for the wildcard.   Henderson only comes if if Odor gets benched/released.   Even if that happens he may get replaced by Vavra.   In that scenario, I don't think Henderson comes up with Urias, Mateo, Vavra.   If they decide to keep Vavra LF/DH and decide they've had enough of Odor then MAYBE.

I don't think winning is the primary goal of ownership.

[Sports Guy]

If you don’t call him up this year, he’s not going to be on the OD roster.  So, you saying that you will start the 2023 season with an inferior roster as you try to make the playoffs. 
 

That is completely unacceptable.  I think he should be up now but if you want to wait on the 45 day thing, so be it.  But get him up here and get his feet wet.  Let him see that pitching and see what it’s like to be in the majors.

Neither do I but this isn’t an ownership decision.

I think Elias' decisions are, in part, due to ownership guidance.  (Like every other team in every other sport)
