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.

Henderson? The guy Elias promoted to triple A while he was still 20 years old?

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.

I think his process up to this point has been to find every little financial edge he can. Perhaps he changes gears now that the team is (hopefully) entering a competitive window, but we'll have to see him prove it. Calling up Hall is definitely a step in the right direction.

Orioles in St. Petersburg, Fla., according to a source.

Hall, the No. 4 prospect in the system per MLBPipeline.com, has posted a 4.76 ERA and 1.486 WHIP in 18 starts with Triple-A Norfolk. He’s walked 44 batters in 70 innings but also struck out 114.

To be determined is when Hall, 23, joins the active roster. He’s left the Tides, who are in Rochester.

Also unknown is what Hall’s role will be upon his arrival. Whether he makes any starts or works out of the bullpen during a pennant race.

Hall started Sunday for the Tides and struck out eight batters in 5 1/3 innings. He allowed two runs and five hits with three walks.

What does that have to do with it? He could easily use his age as a justification for giving him more time in AAA next April. I'm not saying that he will, and I'll be very happy if he doesn't play any of those games going forward. I'm just saying I wouldn't be shocked if he goes after the extra year of control for any top prospect. That's all.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Elias took advantage of a few weeks if that gained an extra year of control, but Elias has not slow walked Henderson at all. He’s going to be in the show as a 21 year old barring an injury or horrible slump.

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

I kind of want him to throw the first pitch at DJ Kitty just to unsettle everyone. “I wouldn’t dig in there if I was you…”

He'll be 21 next May, so we can both be right. 😁

105.7  confirmed called up and added to the 40 man. Start at Norfolk was supposed to be tonight in Norfolk.

He was scheduled to start tomorrow in Rochester, I was supposed to go to the game...Was literally talking about it as this news broke. Really happy he is in the majors but sooo sad I don't get to see him pitch tomorrow. Also, not sure why someone said Elias was in Norfolk because the team has been up here in Rochester all week...

    • 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.
    • I’m guessing he may be bulk reliever later in game. Have to see. 
    • You think Hyde alone makes the decision?
    • 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.
