.395 BABIP is not sustainable, so the average will obviously come down a bit, but .320AVG for Adley does not seem unreasonable. Line drive percentage is up. Ground ball percentage is down. Infield fly ball percentage is down. Walk rate is up. Strikeout rate is down. He has genuinely progressed.

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!

Gonna be between Adley, Wander Franco and Ohtani for MVP. 

For me it's Judge replacing Franco in the top 3. How can you not have Judge as a favorite after he's picked up right where he left off from his MVP season, and after he almost single-handedly beat the O's in the Yanks' last head-to-head win against them?

Wander has to show that he can stay healthy. I also think both he and the Rays will crash back down to earth pretty hard after they get through the easiest schedule any team in MLB has faced up until this point. They've been beating up on some terrible pitching staffs (which the Orioles also just did to take 3 out of 4 from the worst team in baseball).

I could see this. I went big in an auction league for Wander this year. I think he’s going to be a monster this year.

But you can add Trout to this as well.

Yeah, Trout is always in the running, but he's gotta stay healthy.  

Wander's off to a great start, I think people kinda forgot about him after last year which was a little weird.

Cause **** the Yankees, that's how.

Jokes (not really) aside, it's like this:  Ohtani really deserved the MVP last year, if he has another year like it, you can't not have him in the running.  Wander is looking like the best player on the best team, he has to be in the running.  Adley, new kid on the block, WAR machine, not even a full season into his career and he's the best catcher in baseball.  

Of the group, Judge is the most uninteresting of them all.

Wander was hurt last year but he’s also a perfect example of why, even if you are the best prospect in the sport, you don’t always tear it up from the start..especially when you are younger.

Something to keep in mind w/r/t Gunnar.

True.  Looks like Kelenic might have it figured out now, too.

If Adley keeps hitting similar to this and combine that with his superior defensive value as a gold glove caliber catcher the only thing limiting his MVP aspirations is the team success of the Orioles.

(That and Shohei Ohtani doing something crazy like winning 20 games and hitting 40+ home runs.)

      You think we are signing Burnes?

      Oh, I thought he was talking about the rotation right now.

      Would the Orioles consider Trevor Bauer ?

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      No. Better yet ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!!  We do we need to take on anything associated with him or take on that kind of pr hit and risk? I hope he gets a shot at redemption … somewhere else. Why can’t we just acquire/trade for a current MLB pitcher who is already good and doesn’t come with baggage? Is that too much to ask?

      My big issue with him besides the zero defensive value is he's batting .227 and has only 5 doubles which tells me he's probably a mistake hitter. That's a big red flag for me as well when I look at stats, especially lower level guys. Guys with decent home run numbers and low 2B numbers typically are guys who feast on those middle-middle pitches, but are not making consistent hard contact to get those 2B numbers up. Now I'm going off memory here and haven't really watched him a ton this year running, but he's pretty dang slow from what I remember. So now we have a short, slow, 1B/DH who has some ability to make decent swing decisions on Low-A hitters, but hits for a low average and doesn't show a lot of extra base power. So is he a guy that you perhaps follow to see if he's a guy that develops more game power and allows his bat to carry him up the chain? Perhaps. But I just don't know what he would be in the majors besides a right-handed DH if he develops more power. How many are those are now in the game? I mean, perhaps his absolute upside is a Yermín Mercedes type, but I imagine if he is a late bloomer guy who suddenly starts to rake at the upper levels, it will probably be for his 2nd or 3rd organization as those guys typically bounce around.

      2024 Prospect Power Rankings

      By CaptainRedbeard · Posted

      Thanks for sharing all of the formula / data prospect trackers, I don’t have the patience to follow them on Twitter so I appreciate the updates here. I do put value in that when projecting offense and they do have data that we don’t have.  RZNJ and Tony have a good point that the robo scout types are generally not going to consider defense (at least not fully), and as everyone knows that’s a massive difference in value for C v. 1B/DH. So for Mordan I’d only really put weight on the robo scout if it said he was a good prospect even as solely a 1B, and I’m guessing he’s not.  I am curious to track development of C like Willems and Mordan because I think any C in the system behind Basallo are prime trade chips. If Mordan has good offensive data but bad defense, seems like a nice guy to try to sell another team on at the trade deadline.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By RVAOsFan · Posted

      I am curious to see what happens with the Astros and Verlander.  Looks like they may be heating up making it irrelevant but if they end up being a seller and he shows he is healthy before the deadline I think Verlander is the guy Elias targets.  I think with our new ownership and low payroll no reason we cannot take on the remainder of that contract and he could be the perfect replacement for Bradish.
