I know it's still pretty early but I can't wait till he gets moved up to Aberdeen.  I want to see how he does at the level where it seems like everyone "struggles".  

He has no business being in Delmarva and never should have been there to begin with.

Of course he needs to go to AA next, and I've said in previous threads that I don't see him in the big leagues this year due to several reasons, including 4 legitimate options ahead of him to play SS.

This could go in 3 threads but since he is on top in the org, I’m putting it here:

 

I assume "Hit Strength" the same measure as HH%?  I know it's SSS still, but the Soft% is amazing for the majority of these guys! 

O's have a couple of "old guys" on the list too!  And 3 total players ties us with TB.

As great as he's doing I think we might be going a little overboard on him.   He looks solid and the plate and in the field and runs really well.    He's beyond his years when it comes to plate discipline.    I see a really solid, fundamentally sound player.    I know hitters grow into power and there's plenty of time for that.    However, when I watch him I see him able to drive the ball to LCF and LF and pull balls mostly on the ground and some liners.    I have not seen him hit one gapper to RF and, of course, no home runs yet.    I'm not sure what his offensive ceiling is but I think it's lower than Gunnar's.

It’s very easy to tell what type of hitters the org is valuing.  They have a definite pattern and it’s a really good one.

I agree style wise he might be an Aberdeen thriver like Hernaiz.     Aberdeen I suppose is now kind of a Walltimore proxy as guys advance.

This year is just a science experiment to discover what league's average pitcher it takes to get him out regularly enough.  The longer that doesn't happen, the better it is for us.

One thing I believe on a gut level is the Rays should have used Wander Franco in the 2020 postseason.     Humans like Wander Franco and Juan Soto exist - they can even be heartland kids sometimes.    At 1-1 you hope there aren't any constraints on how good your guy may be.

He is done at Delmarva, isn’t he?  The only reason to send him to Aberdeen is a nod to Cal and the organization but that stadium is terrible for hitters. But yeah, Delmarva is batting practice at this point. 

I think he should absolutely go to Aberdeen.

I’m at the game tonight in Fredericksburg. He’s a lot smaller in person than I thought.  Playing 2B tonight.

Still time to rally now that Jarlin Susana's done.     I see on base thrice and a SB with another PA to come against some low-A reliever.

In most photos next to other players, he looks nothing like his listed 6’1 height. He’s probably 5’10-5’11 max. I do wonder why players exaggerate their size.

      Gunnar Henderson 2024

      By OsFanSinceThe80s · Posted

      I was hoping that would be this season, but he faded this second half. But even Gunnar not living up to his lofty expectation is still a good player with an .811 OPS.

      Mike Elias simply can't offer Michael Baumann, Cristian Pache, Connor Norby and Kyle Stowers this kind of experience. Jack Flaherty was kind of Meh again, but hey, at least he isn't on Detroit for this weekend. It is a special player to get to watch.    He's reviving some of the Babe Ruth "he hits too brilliantly to let him pitch" stuff, but hombre is going to do whatever he wants to do, it is part of the deal.    It does seem pretty likely the SB to this scale are a 1-time deal with the legs getting the year off from the mound. I do have a baseball-y wish to see if he could be Ken Griffey, Jr. in center field if he tried.

      AL playoff picture

      By OsFanSinceThe80s · Posted

      Hopefully it will be like giving a blood transfusion to a sickly patient. Yes some players haven't played as well this season, but it's mainly the injuries that have taken it's toll. The lineup gets much better if Westburg, Urias and Mountcastle are back. No longer does Eloy have to play and Holliday can be platooned. Plus O'Hearn will absolutely not see at bats against LHP like he has been recently at times. Webb and Coulombe provide depth to make the bullpen postseason viable. And Coulombe can close games instead of Dominguez assuming he's back all the way.

      Gunnar Henderson 2024

      By survivedc · Posted

      Gunnar stands to improve on: fielding and stolen bases. I also think he’ll have a 1.000OPS season or two before he’s done.

      Maybe they were going by Tony's reaction, not realizing that with the winning run on third there wasn't any point in running.

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      By OrioleintheATL · Posted

      looks like some of y'all are gonna be pissed when we win 2 of 3 against Detroit, at least one in NY and 2 o 3 against Minn.  I'd be embarassed if I were some of you....projecting the apathy and misery in your own little lives onto our O's.  This is a F upped sport and a team with talent like this can turn on a dime and start winning consistently at any time.  This isn't over.  I you're mad that your life hasn't worked out well......please don't bring the rest of us down.
