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.

Jackson Hollliday wouldn't be the worst starting player on the team if he was called up to the Orioles right now. That's obviously not the right move for Holliday's development, but this kid is just oozing with talent.

His confidence is palpable.

I say July. but more likely August.

I’ve he torches A they need to challenge him.  I loved the two BBS after his big HR last night.  The kids in A are gonna stop pitching to him.   I thinks he will be in AA before the first of July the way he’s going.

Cowser got out of Aberdeen after 63 games of .795 OPS.

Westburg got out of Aberdeen after 62 games of .858 OPS.

Henderson got out of Aberdeen after 65 games of .775 OPS.

Mayo got out of Aberdeen after 68 games of .821 OPS.

Norby got out of Aberdeen after 49 games of .736 OPS (he missed a couple of weeks with an injury while there.

Stowers got out of Aberdeen after 36 games of .900 OPS.

Prieto got out of Aberdeen after 25 games of 1.000 OPS.

Holliday now has 12 games of .978 OPS. He’s younger than any of the players listed above, so I think the O’s will resist the temptation to move him as fast as, say, Stowers or Prieto, even if he continues to perform comparably to them, as he’s done to date.  But I don’t see how they can justify keeping him there more than about two months from when he got to Aberdeen, if he continues to outperform most of the other players listed above.  So, I’m guessing he moves up no later than July 4, unless he nosedives from here, which seems unlikely.

That was right around the date I had circled, 7/1, assuming he stays hot.  It’s really a marvel to see how comfortable he is and the success he’s having.

I tend to agree that they aren’t going to rush him to AA but it wouldn’t surprise me if they did. 

I think the goal was likely to have him spend half a year in AA and he’s going to do that. He enters the offseason basically knowing he is going to AAA to start 2024 and could be up anytime after June. They will obviously ensure the service time (ie, he won’t be up in April) and I’m guessing they give him enough time to where he conveniently misses out on what is likely super 2. Holliday being the starting ML SS by the second half of 2024 is very realistic.

I'm beginning to question my decision to wait until 6/16 to get to an Aberdeen game!

I meant to say the BBs after a HR is great to hear!  Success can be a development trap as much as failure.

Holliday is the new #3 prospect on MLB.com.

He has jumped over GRod, who is 6th on the list.

Do you think Samual Basallo had a chance to crack the top 100 by the end of the season?

Definite chance. Guy can hit, and he’s in a system that can get the most out of him offensively. Some defensive questions give pause, but if he keeps this up on a full-season club at 18, he’ll find his way onto the list.

I was surprised how small he looked sitting next to his father on draft night, but his father is a big dude.  When I saw him in Aberdeen last weekend, it looked like he is considerably stronger now.  I guess he has a little more time to work out than the other players, since he doesn't lose time shaving every morning.

      Baumann DFA

      By Malike · Posted

      For two years we talked about 7+ run leads possibly not being Baumann proof. I probably would have DFA'd Perez first, but I don't fault them here. They needed to get rid of someone and he was one of the two least reliable options out of the pen. I guess Perez got the LHP hard thrower advantage, even though he's not good.

      Boras has never had a guy sign a long-term extension with 2 years of service time or less. I'm sure it's something they will look long and hard at after the season. I don't expect that to change in May of this year, but I do think that if they make an offer that he turns down, people won't think they lowballed him.

      I'd have optioned Akin too...but I'd have DFA's Cionel Perez before Baumann

      Not saying they are one jerk but there’s always likely something that is the straw that broke the camels back and that outing yesterday may have been it.

      5/17: Henderson Leads The Way

      By justD · Posted

      I know you can go to the MLB.com site and see a highlight with commentary and all that, but I had a hunch last night for this particular AB and got lucky.  Was enjoying myself too much live to capture either of the triples for timing purposes 😆  But it was fun hearing this huge crowd erupt as it was headed back to tie things up in the bottom of the first!

      Agreed. My point was that the fans knew the Nats were trying.  The Orioles have not tried.  People can say that we don’t know but Gunnar was asked and said there were no talks that he had any knowledge of.  No player should be upset if the Orioles came out and said they wanted some extensions.  And the fans are going to be happy they are at least trying. Right now we have no evidence they have even tried.  This is why many, including some defending saying nothing, were upset with Angelos.

      It's hard to hit your way out of a slump when you are on the bench. Mullins is going to get chances, I don't believe he's completely cooked.
