We all know Holliday got promoted to Aberdeen.   It looks like his replacement at Delmarva is Angel Tejada a 19 yo infielder who hit pretty well at FCL last year.    Anthony Servideo gets promoted all

Interesting that Holliday isn't one of the ones being moved.

Very excited to see Povich and Mcdermott moved up.  

I doubt Holliday sees Delmarva this year.  HS draftees typically spend all of their draft season in the complex leagues.

Rom pitched out of the bullpen in his last game. Piggy backed two guys just coming back from injury. It didn't go so well, but I wonder if that was done for a purpose instead of having him start.

Rom can't master the changeup. He probably needs to see if he can be converted into a Vespi/Fry kind of left-handed reliever. Maybe even an Akin type.

I think they'll just let them ride out the rest of the season at AA while they're holding a playoff spot.

Possible and the AAA season does go longer, so they can move them later but the whole playoff thing in the minors doesn’t mean anything and I believe Elias has ignored it in the past.

Besides, their pitching should have just gotten improved.

I guess Ortiz and Cowser have to stay in AA at least another week.

Cowser has still played in a limited number of double A games. They rarely move guys with less then two months of play at a level. Ortiz has been in double A a lot longer, but might be getting hurt by having both Henderson and Westburg at Norfolk. I know they all played at Bowie together, but the organization might be happier with all of them getting more playing time at SS.

Does Cowser need to dominate for a certain number of games before it’s ok? That seems silly.

He isn’t being challenged.  No reason to leave someone at a level due to some unscientific way of doing things when they aren’t being challenged.

I think it's an issue of sample size. As multiple people have pointed out in the Ortiz thread, you can have a hot month. As you spend longer in a league, they make adjustments to you, are you still able to dominate as they're adjusting to you? Or do you struggle, and have to re-adjust. The Orioles seem to have a process that they go through with prospects at each level, and once a player has hit benchmarks within that process they get promoted. It's a more process based system then results, because the end goal is to produce results at the major league level, not necessarily at a stop along the way

200 AB's at a level seem to be a measurement they use quite a bit.

      I imagine the goal is to get him available to just give them anything out of the pen in the wild card round. Depending on how that goes and if the O’s can advance who knows.

      A look ahead to the 2025 payroll

      By wildcard · Posted

      The interesting thing about 1B is Mayo.     Elias keeps pushing Mayo at 3B.   But if Westburg is healthy he is better at 3B.   And they don't seem to play Mayo has much as they could at 1B where he might have a better chance at a regular job.    DH might be his best position. If Santander leaves, then Kjerstad probably gets an every day spot at RF.   Elias might want to see Kjerstad hit well in RF before he hands over 2B to Holliday.   Too many struggling rookies at the same time is not good for wins.   Mayo is  behind Kjerstad and Holliday IMO in getting a lot of playing time. However, developing Kjerstad, Holliday and Mayo  are key parts of the O's future no  matter how Elias develops them.

      Walker is definitely an upgrade over Mountcastle.  Walker has cleared an .800 OPS the past three seasons.  Mountcastle has only done it once -- his rookie year.  Plus Mountcastle hasn't even cleared 20 homers since 2022.  Mountcastle is good in a platoon, used against lefties, but otherwise he's fallen off. Walker is 33, which is a bit of a risk, but which makes me think he could be had on a short term deal.  That said I think the O's will have competition for Walker.  He's one of the most underrated bats in the league.   If the O's think Kjerstad can play 1B then I think they should maybe go with him and look for a new RF (unless they bring back Santander, which seems more unlikely now).  But I don't know about Kjerstad's glove there. Mayo's glove at 1B may be even more questionable than Kjerstad's.  Plus Mayo just hasn't shown he's ready with his bat yet.  I'm against assuming guys will figure out how to hit MLB pitching within a presumed timeframe.  Mayo hasn't shown he's there yet.  Let him work his way into the lineup rather than giving him a starting job.  But with him there's also the issue of where his defense plays best, or if it plays anywhere.

      So either Grayson won’t face hitters this year (ie he’s done for the year) or he’s in the pen.

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      By Fiver6565 · Posted

      I feel better after getting a W against the Giants; somewhere along the way I had stated I felt we almost had to get at least one from them, and now we have.  However, lets not act like this one win means the offense has broken its slump and we're suddenly going to start rolling.  I hope we do, but we're one bad game away from feeling like we'll never score a run again.  If we go down 3-0 or something early tonight, it will be hard to resist the doomsday feeling - we're just as likely to get one-hit or something stupid like that tonight as we are to score 5 or 6 runs.  Its a tough schedule to finish the season, tougher than maybe we would have thought with Detroit playing so well.  Still not counting my chickens but yeah that W yesterday changed the calculus a good bit in our favor.

      Danny Coulombe 2024

      By rm5678 · Posted

      Update: As expected, the corresponding move for Coulombe is Burch Smith, but he's going on the IL instead of being DFA'd. Right adductor/groin strain.
