It doesn't really matter.  If MLB had some silly rule about being only able to use the 26 guys you have on Opening Day for the entire season then this becomes a big topic.  But they start roster shuff

This was in the Banner: Last year, Kelvin Gutiérrez started at third base on opening day; he only played 12 games for the Orioles before he was optioned and later released.

I will say I don’t think Holliday makes it, but whatever. He’ll be up soon enough. Most everyone that’s received long looks in ST will make an appearance in Baltimore at some point or another. 

Yeah, the opening day roster matters for the ROY pick and service time, and for whether they decide to cut guys they can’t guarantee sending to AAA. So basically, Holliday, Mayo, Wong, Maton, McKenna, Nevin, Webb and Teheran (since it seems Baumann locked up his spot).

Cowser and Kjerstad are also eligible for the ROY pick, but their chances aren’t great and they wouldn’t be slated for enough playing time so it’s not really a factor.

For the pitchers with options it doesn’t matter at all.

I want Keegan Akin to get a 3-inning Save on opening day, and then be optioned for Game 2.

Maximize that roster every day!

5 - SP Burnes, Grayson, Kremer, Irvin, Wells

8 - RP Kimbrel, Cano, Coloumbe, Perez, Webb, Baumann, Tate, Terehan

9 LU

1. Mullins CF L

2. Adley C S

3. Gunnar 3B L

4. Santa RF S

5. Mounty 1B R

6. O’Hearn DH L

7. Hays LF R

8. Westburg 2B R

9. Urias 3B R

4 Bench McCann, Mateo, McKenna, Maton

Moves

- Bradish and Means to 60 day IL

- Nevin DFA’d

- Terehan added to 40 man/26 man

- This would mean two open 40 man spots for Elias to claim guys that have a option that were recently DFA’d on cutdown day.

Possible Moves(wishful thinking)

- Holliday over Maton

- Cowser over McKenna with McKenna DFA’d(Burdick could signal this)

The opening day roster matters for Holliday in that the timing could determine whether we get an extra draft pick, extra year of service time, or neither. Same to some extent with Mayo/Cowser/Kjerstad/Stowers, who could all be in the ROY conversation if things break their way.

If Holliday doesn't make it, then the organization has every incentive to hold him back for quite a while to ensure he doesn't finish top two like Adley did.

I heard the Elias comments that they feel Holliday needs to see more LHP in AAA so J initially throught he'd stay in Norfolk. But with the way he's played in ST, I don’t know if he makes the 26 or not. It's possible either way.

Baker and Suarez have a chance to take take a spot from Webb. Teheran too. Akin and Baumann have regained their edge to make the roster.

Captain Redbeard is very close depending on what they do with Holliday. If it isn't Holliday I made the case for McKenna on another thread. Could also be Maton.

I have a visceral irrational dislike for Akin but he has been good this spring. If he was pitching hurt last year I could be talked into giving him another shot, but I could also see Suarez, Teheran or even Vespi there.

Good catch.  LOL

I guess that means Suarez goes to Norfolk and Teheran stays although it's not what I would do.

      Orioles #30 Prospect Brandon Young - RHP

      By now · Posted

      Now overall I notice 29 K's in 17 innings. That ratio of 1.7 is top of the line for a starter!

      Urias looks pretty cooked too though, and he's not providing the kind of defensive flexibility that Mateo is, and he doesn't have very good splits for platooning.  At least for 2023 and 2024 Mateo has had good platoon splits.

      SSS but Holliday was playing incredible defense after like the first game or two when he seemed to have some jitters.  He had +3 OAA in a very short span.  Mateo has looked a little awkward at 2nd to be honest, and he's not the best at making the double play turn.

      Hoping for a speedy recovery. That all happened fast. Not my initial impression reading the write up.

      Is it time to upgrade over Urias and McCann?

      By Hallas · Posted

      McCann looks cooked but he's in his last year and our options at backup C aren't great unless we're willing to trade for one.  But I'm not giving up a lot for a backup C.   I'd like to find a replacement for Urias.  He didn't look great last year and he's being thrust into a role that he's not really cut out for right now.  I don't think he's getting the 2022 magic back.  Maybe Westburg can go to 3rd full time and one of our 5 AAA 2nd basemen can work in with Mateo at 2nd.

      I quoted myself, because I wanted to share something with you all.  I have memory issues.  Nothing full blown or anything, but I don't recall things nearly as well as I once did.  I mention this because it occurred to me that I posted a very similar thing about McCann last year, and he performed notably better in the 2nd half.  At least I believe so.   It's not that I feel I'm exactly wrong about McCann, but rather that he showed himself to be better just last season and could do so again.  I hope so. Memory issues are nothing to be ashamed of, though I'd be pretending if it didn't bother me.  I've been dealing with this for maybe five years or so, though it gets worse every year.  At 59, that's younger than most that have such issues.   I'm sure in a forum as populated as this one, there could be others going through what I am.  It is what it is... it's life, and I hope you're all doing your best with it.

      Estrada and Tejada both continued their recent surges today.  Estrada was 2 for 4 with a double, while Tejada was 3 for 3  with a homer.  Tejada has his OPS up to .737, not bad for a league where .654 is average.  Estrada is at .628 and climbing.
