I’m excited to see that Johnson’s recovery from TJ has reached the point that he will begin facing hitters in games. I know that I’m a little more bullish on him than some but IMO, before the injury he was projecting as 3+ starter with as much potential as anyone in the Rays’ system. If he’s pitching healthy for the remainder of the year it will be a great development for the O’s. I think that he is a legitimate future rotation piece.

Get him to Delmarva and then hopefully he can pitch in the AFL….start next year in Aberdeen and if healthy and as good as we hope, could easily be in Norfolk by years end.

Yup. I won’t be shocked if we even see him hit Aberdeen by EOY. 

After being really good in the Carolina league in ‘21, he was off to a great start last year in the Sallly and was in line for a promotion prior to the injury. He’s an older prospect like a lot of the ‘19 draftees, due to the Covid year. I firmly believe that had they not lost the minor league season (and of course the TJ) he’d have been a fixture in the Rays’ rotation by now.

I see a John Means type of trajectory. He may be a late bloom due to age but I’ll take his 25 - 31 years at the discount similarly to Meansy. He’s going to be really good for the O’s. I think he could jump to as high as their 6th best prospect by end of year. Health is the key.

As a starter or reliever?

He pitched in 27 innings last year. The year before it was 93 innings. His total for the 3 years in the minors is 137 innings. With the way the O's are being careful with the ML pitchers this year as far as innings pitched, you would think they would be extra careful with a pitcher who is coming back from TJ. If they limit his pitches at Aberdeen and Bowie, I don't see any reason to promote him all the way to Norfolk.

It would be completely shocking to see him in Frederick this year.

He’s a starter. If they pitch him in the AFL, he should be able to get to 100ish Ip next year.

Yup. Brain fart. I meant Aberdeen. I was ‘talking’ my senior parents through troubleshooting the pool pump on FaceTime. Every cliche that you can imagine about older folks who do not technology, that’s my parents. At least five times my father, while on FaceTime with me, put the phone to his ear to talk instead of holding the phone toward the pump so that I could see what they were doing. Needless to say my brain hurts.

SJ is a starter though I could see that 98mph fastball play up out of the pen. I’ll be disappointed if he’s only an elite reliever.

Hitting 98 the first time out after TJ.. yikes. I can’t tell for sure if that bottom right video is when he touched 98 but that’s 95+ at least.

For all of the pundits who look at their farm and don’t see starting pitching, a healthy SJ drastically changes that view.  He, Povich and McDermott are probably top 4-8 prospects on clubs in the lower half of the farm rankings and for teams like the Angels, Braves, White Sox and Stros, an case could be made that each of those guys could be their top 1-3 prospect.

Really excited for SJ.

      9/26: A Weak Effort In New York

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      I was at a meeting and came out to the Orioles down 1-0. I looked away for what seemed like a minute and it was 5-0, then 7-0. Do we know why Burnes was lifted after just 69 pitches after 5 innings? Was he hurt? Do we know why Cano was brought into the game in the 6th (Have to imagine his adrenaline may not have been as flowing at that stage of the game)?  Obviously the bullpen was pretty horrific last night, but could some of this be because Hyde was using guys who typically are late in game relievers in the 6th inning?

      Is there a 5th O's #1 Prospect?

      By OriolesUpAndDowns · Posted

      Good point on the age.  I think it would have to be someone like Nate George from this year's draft just blowing up next year. The story would be how everyone missed on him because he played in a cold weather state.

      First, Schmidt is having a better year than Cole. Second, the O's teed off Ragans and Lugo last time they faced them.

      Elias needs to use better judgement when he dumpster dives, prepare better for the high percentage chance that his dumpster diving pickups will fail, and increase usage of other means to get pieces. Bullpen usage is another problem, but it’s hard to effectively juggle flaming torches. A wrong move burns badly

      DH - O'Hearn v. Kjerstad

      By e16bball · Posted

      I can see the case for Mountcastle based on defense alone, but what has Kjerstad done to warrant that kind of treatment? Is it the .505 OPS he’s put up since coming back? The overall .438 ML OPS since getting hit in the head? I’m as bummed as anyone that his season got derailed, but if you’re talking about where they are right now — he’s not your huckleberry. As for O’Hearn, he’s 8 for his last 23 (.348), with 3 doubles. That feels a little like the “getting himself together” that you referenced. He had an awful month-long slump, but he also has an extended track record (over 1.5 seasons) of excelling in the role he’s now back in, as the platoon LH 1B/DH guy. He had a 125 wRC+ in those 750 PAs as an Oriole until 8/20, which is roughly when Mountcastle went out.  I’d be good with Kjerstad DHing against LH starters, because there’s good reason to think he hits them better than O’Hearn. And if they want to play both O’Hearn and Kjerstad against some RHPs, in order to set up the potential of Mountcastle coming in to PH against a lefty reliever, I’m down for that too. But the primary alignment is going to (and should) be the Mountcastle/O’Hearn duo we’ve gotten accustomed to seeing.

      By Moose Milligan · Posted

      The Achilles heel for this team is going to be the unit that doesn't step up in the postseason. I can easily see scenarios where: the bullpen is hot and provides good performances but the offense sputters and isn't clutch the offense comes up big but the bullpen blows games late starting pitching tosses some clunkers (not really likely with Burnes and Eflin) and they can't recover the defense sucks and gives opponents extra outs to work with, blowing games open when the bullpen or SP would have been able to escape and continue We've seen all of these units falter at one point or another during this season.  We've also seen all of these units perform very well at different times throughout the season.  So, we'll see what turns out to be the Achilles heel for the Orioles in the playoffs starting next week.
