Apparently Rylan Bannon was put on waivers at some point recently and the Dodgers just claimed him. I would have liked to have seen him get a longer opportunity, especially since they keep trotti

Worth mentioning the Dodgers are, I believe, the very last team that could have claimed him before he cleared. So 29 other teams passed.

I would have liked to have seen him get a longer opportunity, especially since they keep trotting Nevin out. But his defense and then streaky hitting is what probably doomed him, plus the emergence of Westburg.

I don’t think it’s a big loss. As far as Nevin goes he’s just shining a seat on the bench with his backside. Hard to evaluate him when he’s not playing. If they swapped him and Bannon the outcome would be the same. Playing Odor and sitting __________. Same with Urias but at least he’s hitting.

Dodgers getting him back. Be funny if he turns into the next Justin Turner for them.

Yep, he was part of the Manny trade.  Honestly I like him better than Nevin.  But he definitely was expendable.

This could be another team doing the Elias-bringing-back-his-own-guys thing. 

A DFA of a guy with options doing decently enough at AAA definitely makes me think a new face might be added to the 40 soon. 👀

I'm trying very hard to convince myself that it's NOT Stowers or Henderson, and instead some random weird waiver claim we're making. Just to set my own expectations.

No clue where that puts the Dodgers roster, but if I had the space, I'd put the claim in too.  Just to see what the org hype has been around the O's lately in person...  Pick the kids brain, see what's being preached, see what tech, etc.  Then drop him a few days/weeks later.

Good luck to him.  He wasn’t going to play here.  He was a nice guy and I loved his pop for a little guy.  He hit some majestic bombs in Norfolk.   Kinda blows my mind Dodgers are claiming someone we DFA'd - times have changed a bit.

He is 26 and was behind Westburg, Henderson, Vavra, and for some odd reason Nevin in the 2B/3B pipeline.

He has been a league average hitter this year at AAA after a brutal season last year and the season lost to COVID the year before that, he just ran out of time.

He looked good in 2019, and it really makes you wonder if he would have made an impact if there had been a normal 2020 season.

It is interesting that he lost his 40-man roster spot before Diaz, but Diaz probably only has Stowers ahead of him in the minors if a spot with actual playing time were to open up in the Majors whereas Bannon is behind Henderson and Westburg.

Nevin can play 1B

I keep getting surprised when I see Hanser Alberto in Dodgers highlights. He's appeared in 50 games (and pitched in 3!) for them this year.

      Where are you getting your stats from that's not correct looking at OPS.

      On the O's this year, Martinez would have been: 5th in OPS 5th in AVG 6th in HRs in 120 games

      I think PFF is grading Roquan badly because the safeties behind him are playing like ass and it's making him look bad.  If teams are going to attack him over the middle on crossing routes with WRs (like KC did with Rice) he doesn't really stand much of a chance if the safeties behind him don't throw him a bone.  He's still a huge help in the run game.   In general I think PFF assigns a little too much blame to linebackers on passes over the middle, so unless you're an elite coverage guy at LB it's really hard to grade well.  The flip side to this is that teams probably need to adjust their coverage areas to account for the fact that LBs aren't going to be able to hold down WRs for long.

      Thanks. This tells me what my eyes have seen with Roquan. He's been a liability in coverage and the fact that Simpson is ahead of him is not good for our defensive leader. Do you have the PFF grades for offense too?

      What you want is perfectly reasonable.  But you seem entirely to focused on money.  The team needs to work to improve.  I don't care what it costs, you shouldn't either.  They are going to spend money and payroll will be higher next year and the year after that.  We need them to make improvements and some of that is rightfully going to come from within and not cost much. The improvements that are needed are going to cost too, I'm not saying they wont.  But ownership and the GM should simply work in tandem to make sure the team has what it needs.  I am not really concerned about how much that costs because it should be able to be done without jumping this particular team into say top ten in payroll.

      This is the right approach. the orioles should be spending more money and I believe they will, but I expect it to be measured with less risk (ie we won’t be handing out a Hader type deal or a  long term contract to Santander IMO) improving on some of the obvious weaknesses certainly makes sense.    1x SP: Burnes, Fried, Buehler 1x RH OF/DH: Martinez, O’Neill, Profar 1x 1B: (wishlist) Alonso, Walker
