I caught (well got) the ball today. It was a cool moment. I need to get the ball to him because he deserves it.

I wanted to note something I saw in last night's game that showed Adley's leadership qualities.  Hyde came to get Kremer after he allowed the single with 2 outs. Kremer, who was already pitching

With two of the top players in the game they'd be unstoppable!

If you are comparing catchers I think you should just be looking at what they do at catcher.

Sure, but he's literally only a C when he plays defense. Even Gunnar can claim 2 positions (where he has a premium bat at both), so I'm not sure why you'd try to dilute what he's done by looking at his offensive output only when he's catching. Feels like an agenda thing.

I've never shown any bias against him.

Not sure why'd I have an agenda now.

I just think it's useful data and yes, to answer another poster I can certainly look it up myself.  I was just curious what the data set being presented to me was being pulled from, which seemed, dare a say reasonable?

Also keep in mind that if you ware talking about counting stats, which you are, if he has 100 more Plate Appearances I think that is something worth noting.

Among qualified ML catchers Adley is 3rd in Batting Average, 1st in OBP, 4th in OPS, 1st in BB, tied for 3rd in HR and 4thin 2Bs. That's not too shabby. 

There's only 10 qualified catchers and Adley has 85 more plate appearances than anyone else.

I didn't mean for my post to sound confrontational, even with the agenda comment. Just not sure why it matters. For me, I couldn't care less. He's a catcher, period. We happen to have 2 good catchers, so they both get to DH regularly, which I think is a credit to our organization strategically. 

If he was a C and a 1bman, I could totally see why there might be a discussion. His bat would be valuable as a C and not so much at 1b. But with the way teams are using the DH spot to rotate guys through and rest players, I think the days of the David Ortiz pure DH with a lethal bat are mostly over. So if Adley is only an average or slightly below average DH, oh well. The rest is more important.

Mostly it's the counting stat thing.  If you want to mention him being first in OBP, then it wouldn't have made a difference to me.  You throw in total number of doubles, well to me it makes a difference if he's got 100 more at bats.  To me that fact that he's getting additional opportunities is worth noting.

Fine if it isn't for you.

Okay, so it's the extra PAs as a DH. Got it. That makes sense. Maybe I didn't read far enough back in the thread to get that part.

Adley’s had a nice week - .417/.444/.750 in his last six games.  Hopefully he can continue to finish strong.  

The .750 is slugging, correct?

Yeah, almost on cue he has 1 HR and 7 2B (and counting) in the last 7 games. Should help the ISO a bit. 31 2B on the season.

And Adley did not have to think about it when he said Team Win.      It is no accident that the Orioles turned the Franchise completely around upon his arrival.  I do not know if anyone else in Baseball has SO CLEARLY done that.  Yes, he is the Best, and even the Best of the Best.

      Wait....I already said that he doesn't dead lift, squat, or bench 500 pounds, let alone the 800 pounds as you said. I literally just said yesterday his Bench was maybeeeeee 300 with the help of pads and the sling shot, and his squat was 400.  Is that anywhere near 500 or the 800 that you claimed? So please, tell me where I said he was doing 500 pounds seriously?  I said that above sarcastically in response to your continued assertions that JH was doing elite power lifting numbers.  Which was ridiculous.  Just lol.

      I would agree.  He needs a complete reset.  Complete rest.  Starting to remind me more and more of Dylan Bundy.  A guy who FOR SURE early in his baseball life trained too hard.  Played too hard.  Took baseball too hard as a possible career.  By the time he grew into an adult man, he wasn't the player he was as a kid and young man.  Both mentally and physically.  I said this in an earlier post, but unlike most athletes, JH seems to have been groomed from the time he was 3 to be a baseball player.   He may already have the body of a 27 year old when it comes to wear and tear.   And I am sure since all he has ever done is baseball, there is a part of him mentally that is just tired. That is why with my son and daughter (5 and 9  ) I encourage them to play any and all sports, but focus on none.  Your true abilities in any sport will eventually come out.    Just don't over do it.  Even Tiger broke down from his dads complete obsession with making him the best.  The fact that Tiger actually did it is a testament to his mental strength.  That being said.......if you can get a boatload for him now?  I would do it.  I said it yesterday but he is not a special athlete.  He is a very good baseball player.  But not an elite athlete  despite what Corn says.   And this injury is not a good sign of what is to come.

      Keith Law has O's taking Tommy White at #22 in latest mock draft

      I like college bats after #10 until the end of the first round. My preference is for them to have some defensive value if possible. I like the idea of using comp picks to try to get high end high school bats. Its a risk/reward type of pick. I would have to know why they, (Burns and Smith) fell to that level. Pitchers break and that's a lot of money for a broken pitcher. I'd be very cautious, in other words.

      I characterize “winning” as having a winning culture and established high level of play.  I don’t think we had that in the 2012-2016 run.  I think even the most orange tinted glasses saw that was a very short window with nothing to come after.  What we have now, and what the Ravens have established, is the ground work for continued winning and high level play. Above and beyond the on field accomplishments the organization is doing all the right things off the field and nurturing a relationship with the fans in a “winning” manner.  Winning was never the focus in the past.  Even the most ardent haters can see that winning is here for the foreseeable future on and off the field.

      Naw, I know sarcasm and that wasn't sarcasm. You are just changing your story.

      Everyone is a sports psychologist and physical therapist now. He's a talented 20-year-old living his best life who struggled in a tiny sample size at the MLB level. The conspiracy theories that people create are absurd. He hurt his elbow, players get hurt at times, just about every one of them, it doesn't need to be over-analyzed.

      Again...sarcasm? You guys are so quick to jump on anything I say and paint into a negative light it is BEYOND comical.  I feel as if I have my own trolls and internet 'haters' here. Relax.
