Lol I love how people keep worrying about service time. Service time is only affected if any player is kept down until late April. It would be shocking if that happened for any of Hall/Henderson/Stowers/GrayRod. I could see Westburg staying down if there's not room in the IF to start the year.

The next benefit to keeping players down is to preserve their rookie status in hopes of ROY honors in 2023 to net a pick in 2024. We're about 2-2.5 weeks from that. 

You'd be shocked if Elias plays service time games with Henderson? Why would that shock you? I won't even be shocked if he does that with GrayRod.

The DL Hall Fiasco is getting out of hand. This is ridiculous.    Some of you are acting like this is the end of the world and we just ruined our playoff chances yesterday. It’s absurd.

I totally disagree. I think it’s very obvious that Elias reads the board and that many of his moves have been in direct response to posters. Most of his good moves, for example, have been based direct

Who has he played service time games with? His process has been at times excruciatingly slow in promoting prospects to the top level, but he seems to follow his process.  

And, yeah, I'd be shocked if he holds Henderson down until ~May. And he's pretty much said GrayRod will be on the opening day roster.

why would they add him today, to start tomorrow?  Or have they not officially done so maybe?  Might as well keep a BP piece for tonight's game.

May not be called up tonight. He just reported he was heading down there. Makes no sense to call him up today unless an injury. Even then makes no sense. Bring another arm up for a day.

I think Elias has to decide with Henderson if he wants the draft pick, or the potential extra year. Keep in mind with Adley this year, at least partially due to injury, he didn't make the OD roster so no pick...but there's a decent chance he's top 2 in AL rookie of the year voting, so the O's also won't get the extra year or service time. 

I think outside of a Henderson or Adley level prospect though, people around here spend to much time assuming "service time" is the main reason behind promotion/lack of promotion decisions.

Makes sense out of the bullpen or as a piggyback with Voth.   Can pull him quickly if he's "out of control".

This is where I think he'll start his career. They could start him instead of Voth and use Voth as the piggyback, but I think they'll ease him in.

      No, as it appears to be a group think decision, where all have some input.  In the end it really doesn't matter if it's all Elias, Sigbot or Hyde or some combination of the 3, Hyde is the one who defends it to the media/fans, and he's the one who gets paid to take the critism/blame.  Either way, starting Slater is the move that WHOEVER make the decisions appears to love, so that's what I expect to see, even if it doesn't make sense based on this years performances.

      Baker optioned, Davidson called up

      By eddie83 · Posted

      I’m guessing he may be bulk reliever later in game. Have to see.

      You think Hyde alone makes the decision?

      Can Cowser still win Rookie of The Year over Gil/Wells ?

      Gil has been terrible in his last 2 starts, he has  given up 10 earned runs in 11 innings

      It's a meaningless game so hard to read anything into it. It could also be more of an "opener" gambit so that Davidson can be brought in with favorable matchups. For a team that believes so strongly in matchups, I don't know why we don't use the opener more often, especially when it has been effective against us.

      Both are deserving. That’s not the point. How they construct the pen in ‘25 may be different. None of the guys you mentioned have been pen guys, although McDermott probably should be. Young and Rogers are more of a starter repertoire. Armbruster and others, like Tony said in another thread, should be pen arms. You need flexible and effective arms to move up and down, while they gain experience. We need some guys with some swing and miss stuff. Adding Bautista back into the back end moves everyone down a notch, but some of the guys we have now will likely have to move on for the purposes of flexibility. There is always some natural turnover, and for good reason.

      And?  If they were buying his career stats, then they were fooled by a bait and switch.  Yeah, career numbers are good, but they don't reflect the reality of this year.  .541 OPS against LHP.  Elias/Hyde has a tendency to bring in guys who might have had good career numbers, but who are not playing at that level in the current year, but then letting them play like they are performing at career levels.  Slaters numbers this year don't reflect that he should be getting starts versus LHP over Cowser, even with the struggles Cowser has had.  That said, I fully expect to see Slater starting as that's the move Hyde will love, and will then speak eloquently at how great Slater is hitting against LHP this year, even though that's clearly a lie.
