Very similar to the Ravens

But it make some sense in the NFL, because teams have to game plan based on player availability. 

I'm not quite sure why the Elias regime keeps the prospect injury news as state secrets.

There was a poster who said Cowser will become another Ryan McKenna at the major league level. Here was my response in that thread. I'd be shocked if Cowser turns into a McKenna at the major leag

That HR just earned him another month in the minors from Elias.

Yeah, it does seem strange.  The only possible competitive advantage for secrecy I can think of would be in the event they are trying to trade a prospect who has an injury.  But that doesn't seem like good business either to trade damaged goods without the other team knowing.

If I had to guess and assuming he hasn’t had any setbacks, I assume he will be in a lineup on Tuesday. Give him the weekend and then the off day.

If that holds then Cowser can play three games for Norfolk this coming week to get his legs back under him, and then be in Baltimore for the six game home stand starting Friday night. Or is that too optimistic?

I doubt we see him in BAL before the all-star break.

Overly cynical on my part?  Perhaps.

Probably but not because you are wrong..more like because of how the team operates.

I would also think they want to give him a few more at bats. So, best case scenario, if he is back on the lineup next week, is June 20 but that’s also a 2 game trip in TB followed by an off days.  So, maybe they debut him at home on 6/23.

Assuming he has no setbacks, there is no legit reason for him not be here around then unless he comes back and looks awful and very rusty because of the time off.

Depends how he looks at the plate.  He tends to be a slow starter, so we’ll see if that holds after a 2-week layoff.  Assuming he’s back at all, which we don’t really know yet.

      Offseason Trade Pondering

      He'll go back to pulling pitches and hit 30 HRs there.

      I tend to agree with this.  We certainly aren't the best farm system any more and it's time to use Uncle Dave's money some.  I'm in favor of buying the pitching we need.  There are some good FA arms out there.  If there's a bat on another team they want to trade for that's different since the FA position player list isn't good.

      This what I think happens too.  We'll trade from the FV 40ish tier not the 45 or higher tier.  And I can see dealing from the top ofthe deck (i.e. Mounty, Urias, Kremer*...) to build the ceiling of the pipeljne or weaker/thinner positions.  *A Kremer based deal would be predicated on an FA SP signing.  I don't see it happening but it's an interesting case study.

      Trade Target - Jose Quintana

      Maybe he should be a free agent target this offseason.

      Austin Hays Appreciation Thread

      By ShoelesJoe · Posted

      Hays hit .354 / .404 / .537 against LH pitching this season. I would absolutely take him back as a platoon player who can fill in all three OF positions. Given the number of southpaws other teams throw against us we'd be nuts not to consider signing him if he gets DFA'd.

      The Difference between the O's and other Playoff teams

      By Warehouse · Posted

      I went and checked how we compared to other playoff teams in platooning and pinch-hitting during the playoffs.  I used the first two wildcard games as the sample to keep it apples to apples with the Orioles’ experience.  For the 8 wildcard teams, I counted the number of line-up changes from game 1 to game 2 and the number of pinch hit PAs and added them together.  For lineup changes, I didn’t consider batting order or positions, only the number of hitters that started game 1 but didn’t start game 2 (only McCann for the Orioles). The Orioles were middle of the pack - 4th highest moves among the 8 wildcard teams. #       Team                Lineup changes Pinch hits PAs Total        T1 Tigers 3 5 8            T1 Astros 1 7 8 3 Mets 1 6 7 4 Orioles 1 5 6 5 Royals 1 4 5 6 Braves 1 2 3 7 Brewers 1 1 2 8 Padres 0 0 0 For some additional context, only the Orioles and Tigers faced different-handed starters the first two games AND had opposing pitcher handedness change at least 5 times in those games. Teams that faced same-hand starter both days: Royals Astros Mets Braves   Number times opposing pitcher handedness changed in game: Astros - 8 Royals - 8 Orioles - 5 Tigers - 5 Mets - 4 Padres - 3 Braves - 2 Brewers - 1

      If Hays is non tendered he will be looking for the team that will play him full time.     And he might find it.   He in not even 30 yet.   But the O's don't have that to offer him.
