His swing is bizarre...but I guess do what works best for you.

He seems so awkward in his mechanics and movement (even as he waited for the ball to go out as he trotted/pranced? up the baseline), I'd love to see him on a wedding dance floor, I believe it would be a sight to behold.

I’m sorry but I have to say it… Beavers pelts his first dam AA home run this eve.

Beavers is heating up.  Tonight, he went 2 for 4 with a triple to raise his slash line to .279/.380/.541.   In the last 8 games he’s slashed .323/.416/.613.

This one took a lot out of Beavers.

Beavers, currently at .813 OPS with a 7:11 walk:striking in July with a 1.328 OPS.   He’s 17 months younger than Cowser and about where Cowser was at this time last year.  Cowser did 62 games at Aberdeen and Beavers is at 75.   A promotion to Bowie could be soon.   I’m hoping and thinking that Beavers might be the same kind of top 50 prospect.   He might even be a little more tooled up than Cowser in speed/power/arm.

Cowser is more like a top 15 prospect at this point, so Beavers has his work cut out for him to catch up to that. It'll definitely be interesting to see if he can take off once he gets out of Aberdeen, the way Cowser did. I can't help but feel that his future lays in another org though.

Agreed, and with all the college players we drafted there has to be a ripple effect as guys who are too advanced for the FCL move up.

5 outfielders and non of them should finish the year in the FCL.   Delmarva is the natural, eventual, landing spot for all 5 but maybe they push Bradfield and Horvath all the way to Aberdeen to get all 5 some consistent outfield time.

Both Fabian and Beavers saw time in Aberdeen last year, though both played at Delmarva first.  I’m gueasing everyone starts at Delmarva (after a few days in the FCL) and maybe Bradfiekd and Horvath move to Aberdeen after a couple of weeks if things are going well.

I’m pretty excited about what Beavers is doing.   He’s close to the age of a lot of college players drafted this year.    As impressive as Cowsers ascension was, I think Beavers has a chance to be in the same class or better.   Let’s see if he can take AA by storm like Cowser did.

Nice to see him get moved up. He struggled early in the season but has really turned it on.

I know  there was some talk around when he was drafted about working on his swing. I wonder if that was why he struggled at first?  Don’t believe we have heard any reports on that?

      Whether it is Juan Soto, Corey Seager or Yordan Alvarez, I think building a pen for the AL playoffs the Cionel guy will win tiebreaks over the Baumann guy this early. I hope they really get crowded out with multiple strong performers but if July only brings 1 fancy thing, Cionel and Coulombe can start preparing. If the big 3 starters hold together, even Means and Irvin get smushed to that role.

      I wasn't even thinking of you, you little piece of trash.  You're insignificant on this board.  Nobody thinks about you or cares what you have to say.   I was referring to Sports Guys little laughing emoticon on the OP, which is passive aggressive, and I thought funny, because the OP was objectively accurate. GFY.

      Hyde is saying it will be a six man rotation soon so arguably Irvin doesn't count. DFA Perez would have made it 5/2 among the "permanent" bullpen guys. Plus Perez has stretches when he is lights out. If he finds it at the right time he could be a weapon in October.

      Apparently, Cionel’s dad hasn’t entered Roy’s inner buddy circle.

      While Adley is a valid data point, he had extenuating circumstances, and I still think Gunnar doesn't really qualify.  If you shifted Gunnar's stats from August/September 2022 to April 2023 and shifted the rest of his stats forward, then his slump would look like any old midseason slump.  A lot of players go through months where they OPS less than .700.  A lot of starters, especially shortstops struggle to have months where they OPS more than .700.  It doesn't seem noteworthy or indicative of rookie lumps.  If you combine his September 2022 stats with his April 2023 stats he was still an above-average hitter playing good defense at a premium defensive position.  Even during his slump, he was an overall average-player because of his position and defense, and he was 21.  A guy who I would more associate with rookie lumps would be Anthony Volpe; Gunnar's wRC+ in April was better than Volpe's full-season wRC+.

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

      By RZNJ · Posted

      I’d say that would surprise me for a few  reasons.  First, it sounds like he’s already low in the defensive spectrum.  Sure, we can think of 1 first rounder (Kjerstad) who fit that bill but only 1.   Second, Law said White tends to chase out of the zone.  The O’s are very big on chase rates.   Third, I believe he’s a RH hitter.   Strike 3.

      Meh, I think they’re both pretty replaceable but still trust Perez more. Since the beginning of last year, Perez has a 3.82 ERA, 3.80 FIP, 4.53 xFIP, and has been worth 0.5 WAR in 61.1 innings. Baumann has a 3.69 ERA, 4.41 FIP, 4.77 xFIP, and has been worth 0 WAR in 83 innings.  I do agree that Baumann being able to go multiple innings is beneficial, but it seemed like half the time they wanted to use him for multiple innings, he couldn’t throw strikes and then his outing ended early. Cionel’s 2022-2023 numbers definitely saved him (2.43 ERA), but he could easily be the next guy dropped from the BP.
