This is where you can track all of the players in camp. Once players are cut they will be placed in the cut section. Starters Will Make Team barring injury Kyle Gibson (RHP) -  3/3 - Allowed

Hopefully he doesn't have any lingering effects.

Realistically, the fastest he’d be up is on the Gunnar track.   Gunnar played like the no. 1 prospect in baseball and that got him to the majors by the end of August.  Kjerstad is several years older,

@Tony-OH In case you weren't listening today (Sunday 3/5) and just go by stats, Baumann had a pretty impressive display of focus under pressure after loading the bases in his first inning, striking out the next three batters in a row.  Stats might not reflect this, and I'm not sure how much you use simple box score lines to report an outing. 

I'm not a big Baumann fan, but it was sweet to see (hear) him do that!

It was, though I wasn’t thrilled that he put himself in that situation in the first place.

Santander working on first base drills.  I really don’t expect to see him in the OF a lot his year unless there are injuries.

It's good to see him working out there. If he can be effective over there, it lessens the need to keep anther 1st base type hitter on the roster and can use that spot on a more versatile player like Vavra.

Yep. I really think this is the plan for AS this year. Lots of DH and occasional first and OF starts.

I don’t think they will want him in the OF too much and really, there isn’t any reason to with guys out there who are or should be better.

He will still get some time out there but I think we see that go down. He played 78% of his games last year in the OF. I’m guessing that number sees a significant drop to the 20-40% range.

Are you going to add Nolan Hoffman to the list? Even if he's a long shot, there was a pretty cool article on mlb.com here about his debut in a big-league stadium the other day, and Hyde had some positive words about him. 

I've only been tracking formal invitees, but I could probably throw him in since he's been getting full innings now.

Hoffman is definitely a dark horse candidate to make the club, but it’s a good story, and hey, he’s got all three of our ST saves. 

He's still quite the darkhorse. Pitching in the 9th inning of spring training games is not an indication he's being considered for the club since most of those players are minor leaguers at that point. If you see him get a full inning in the 4th or 5th inning then I believe he has a chance.

Saying that, he's helping his chances of getting a shot this year if he goes down to Norfolk and pitches well.

      41 freaking years and here's this guy with the name pickles telling me I should be happy with 91 wins and getting owned in the playoffs again. 😂 😂 I saw a team that looked terrible the second half and probably didn't even deserve that spot the way they were playing .

      I don’t like the wall. I think it’s affecting our hitters. I’ve mentioned before that I think it has totally warped Mountcastle into something he was never really meant to be. The guy came up as a pull-heavy HR hitter, and in his first season-plus (725 PAs), he puts up 38 HRs and a 116 wRC+. Since then, the wRC+ is down to 110, and his approach has totally changed, with his pull numbers plummeting (down from 39% in 2021 to less than 28% this year). He still hits the ball hard, but constantly underachieves his batted ball data — probably because he’s trying to avoid the pull field and hitting balls to the deepest parts of pretty much every other park. Will the same thing happen to Mayo? Maybe he has more pure power, but it’s always going to be a challenge for a RH slugger to survive with that wall. So much harder to do damage.   Beyond that, I think it’s also creating a serious risk of changing our LH hitters’ approaches too. These guys (Henderson, Holliday, Cowser, 2/3 of Adley) have come up with a reputation for being able to drive the ball to all fields. But how long does that continue when they just can’t hit it out to the opposite field? Our LH hitters had a combined 44 wRC+ at OPACY, and only one HR. They had the 3rd most balls hit to LF at home by LHHs, but the lowest wRC+ of any team on those balls (for the second straight year). The Royals, ironically enough, were the only team that was lower than a 70 wRC+ — that’s how much worse our lefties fared going oppo (at OPACY) than everyone else’s. By player: Gunnar Henderson: 112 wRC+ / .160 ISO (51 PAs) Adley Rutschman: 10 wRC+ / .026 ISO (38 PAs) Anthony Santander: 14 wRC+ / .095 ISO (43 PAs) Colton Cowser: 58 wRC+ / .057 ISO (36 PAs) Ryan O’Hearn: 47 wRC+ / .091 ISO (55 PAs) Cedric Mullins: 23 wRC+ / .100 ISO (41 PAs) Jackson Holliday: -72 wRC+ / .000 ISO (16 PAs)   On the road, they had a combined 126 wRC+ (with 9 HRs) going to left field, so it’s not like they’re bad at it. It’s just Death Valley out there in LF for them at OPACY.  How long will it be until these LH guys just start going full pull-happy? Essentially, the opposite of what’s happened with Mountcastle. When (a) your team’s philosophy is to focus on doing damage and (b) you can’t DO damage to the opposite field — the rational endpoint is just to try to pull everything. I don’t think that’s a good outcome. I think it makes them much worse hitters in the other 81 games, and I think it’s a terrible waste of a bunch of really talented hitters with all-field abilities.

      Which core players beside Adley Rutschman struggled?

      Elias: Hyde will be back

      By Pat Kelly · Posted

      The entire commentary on Hyde and the team seems odd but have to admit there does seem to be something off.   Team seemed adrift for most of the 2nd half.  A very talented team went off the rails midway through the season mostly due to core players struggling and rookies not performing or filling in adequately for a few injured starters.    None of the position player trade line acquisitions performed that well.     Hyde seemed in over his head or at a loss on how to correct things, but he must have convinced Elias that he has a plan to fix things.  Curious to see what happens with the coaching staff.
