Adley has been hyped for years. Everyone knew of him.

Adley has been a household name since being drafted and Gunnar’s name isn’t as well known until recently becoming the #1 MLB prospect. 

I could see a 3pm announcement for Gunnar’s MLB debut announcement, since there’s a decent chance he will be coming off the bench today with Cease pitching for the White Sox.

Yes, I think we can all see the writing on the wall here. The related next step is obvious: Gunnar down to Bowie to get some reps in CF. None available in Norfolk with Phillips there. This is wha

I don't think he would be coming off the bench. Stack the lineup with lefties against Cease.

Lefties OPS 87 points higher against Cease in his career, 94 points higher this year.

Not trying to derail this thread, but was looking up rule changes.  Does this mean if any of the prospects gets a year of service and gets top 5 MVP or Cy Young or top two ROY pre arbitration, the Os get an extra draft pick? 
So next year AR is top 5 MVP, Henderson ROY, GRod top 5 Cy Young and top 2 ROY that is 4 extra draft picks?  Obviously that is an extreme example but could happen. 
If an eligible prospect is promoted to the major league roster, receives a full year of service time and receives “sufficient” awards consideration in any season before he qualifies for arbitration, the team will receive a PPI selection in one or both of the draft and the international draft, if implemented.

 

Talk about counting your chickens before they hatch.

I said this in another thread, but I wouldn't be surprised if they waited at least another day or two just in case there are rainouts and make-up games that extend the regular season. I'm guessing he comes up Thursday or Friday, but would be happy if it's today.

I'd imagine  the orioles would make an announcement before the tides release their lineup for tonight's game.

If he's not playing for the O's tonight I don't expect them to make an announcement or roster move today.

Nothing good can come from announcing anything a day early.

Yeah I would not be surprised if we did a day or two cushion. Considering if we have to play a tie breaker game 163(is that a thing?). I’d guess Gunnar is on the “taxi squad” with the team at the moment, and will be added to the roster tomorrow, or Thursday. Either way, his days in the minors are done.

If he's not listed on the tides lineup or on the bench that's going to be pretty telling that he's being called up. I don't know but I don't think that's the way they want everyone to find out. An announcement would be more appropriate.

No tiebreaker games anymore, so that won't be the issue. Just if the season is lengthened for a rainout.

I'm still going to disagree.

You make an announcement tonight and then something changes, what happens? 

I don't think Elias cares if folks are speculating.

      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

      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.
