Man, these guys are playing quite well. At this point, I like Lewin as the backup first baseman and Terrin as your utility infielder. Heston is playing so well right now that I’d love for him to jump up quick so we could see him on the team this year. He’s just locked in! Very exciting to see all this young talent kicking ass so quickly.

Heston, Terrin and Lewin sounds like a personal injury law firm

I'll be honest, I like Vavra a bit as a utility guy, especially when the Orioles will have three guys on the roster (Mateo, Henderson, and Urias in a pinch) who can play SS already. If Vavra can show

Kjerstad is 5 of 6 with 2 Home runs.  His batting average is .833; on base percentage .833; and on base + slugging is 2.666.  But, he hasn't taken a walk so...BUST!  🙂

At this point, what do you guys think of Stowers? If this is the real Heston, man, there are going to be some interesting trades and decisions to be made at the trade deadline. Cowser is the walk God, Santander looks like he’s still recovering from his knee contusion. And McKenna still looks like a AAAA player. 
 

You’re right though, way too early to tell about any of these guys but man with all Heston has been through, it’s incredibly exciting to see him take the next step in his game.

It's still VERY early, but Kjerstad is definitely encouraging. 

As for the other two, I don't think there's a way both fit on the roster without an injury or trade. The bench is going to be McCann, whoever amongst Mateo/Urias/Frazier isn't starting and McKenna. That leaves one spot for Vavra or a backup 1B. Theoretically, Vavra did play some CF in the minors and Hays can backup CF so you could get both on the roster with McKenna in AAA, but I'm not sure I see the Orioles doing that. Now, if we trade Urias or Mateo, that opens up things a lot more.

Lewin Diaz can go to Norfolk and play regularly and wait.  We don’t have the luxury of holding a spot for a player limited to 1B/DH.   Mazara is even more limited.  At least Diaz is good at one spot.   The last spot is between Franchy Cordero and Terrin Vavra.   If Vavra starts getting some time at 1B, I like his chances.

I've always thought that the value of McKenna's ability to cover all 3 outfield spots was way overstated. Does he really add so much to the team with respect to defense that can't be replaced or improved with other outfield solutions?

Vavra and Diaz doing well early does seem like there are 14 position players fighting for 13 spots.  But with a month to go that will undoubtly change.

Who backs up CF if not McKenna?

      Any updates on the renovations to OPACY?

      By allquixotic · Posted

      Funny thing is, if the O's win, I'm generally so psyched on my way out that I don't even notice all of these annoyances. I'm just happy that the team won. That was my experience a lot this year when the team was doing well. Unfortunately about half of my 13 game season ticket plan was in August and September, plus I got to watch one of the pathetic WC games. You can smooth over a fair bit of fan annoyance with winning, but at the end of the day, someone has to care about the little things and actually invest money to make them better. There's no longer any question about whether the O's will be here to stay. The government and the team are aligned: OPACY and the Orioles are here, and we're going to make the best of what we have, and make it a centerpiece of Baltimore. That's great. But now they have to put their money where their mouths are. Show fans from all walks of life that we are able to reimagine OPACY and the surrounding area in the image of an efficient, clean, 21st century facility, starting with things as basic as infrastructure and plumbing, and ranging as far as parking, public trans, and food at the park. Honestly? I sort-of understood why they weren't investing in anything in the years when (1) the team was bad, and (2) ownership wasn't invested in the team, and (3) the renewal of the lease with the Maryland Stadium Authority was in doubt. The vast majority of points (1), (2) and (3) above are now non-issues, or have been majorly mitigated in the past 2 years. So it's time to make things right. Otherwise why bother with the long-term commitment at all, if you're just going to let the project languish?

      https://www.abcactionnews.com/news/local-news/the-roof-of-tropicana-field-was-ripped-off-by-hurricane-miltons-winds And the hurricane was a direct hit on Sarasota... in coming days we will se ehow the Orioles' facilities there fared.   I assume that the fall instructional camp had already completed?

      I still think Soto (Juan, not any of the others) checks off all the boxes here.  Insanely productive, plays hard, can rub opponents the wrong way on the field but is generally liked off of it.

      We're not a mid-market team. Small market for sure.

      Things looking bleak for KC. They left 11 runners on base, got a taste of their own medicine, I guess.
