I actually like the whole Torrens play, it's a calculated gamble that Torrens makes it through waivers. The team had him as a third C as insurance against an Adley or McCann injury during the Braves s

Westburg hit another homer tonight. Not sure what else he has to prove.

The Orioles have played 35 games. 

per BBRef:

Adley has played in all 35 starting 33.

He has caught 27 games or a portion thereof. 
He has been a DH only in 8 games. 
 

I don’t think I completely agree with how he is being used, but I also don’t think he is being driven into the ground with this usage. 
 

I do not think he is going to play 162 straight and would agree that would be a mistake. 

Good post. Honestly, I would have thought he had DH’ed more. That’s a 35-40 game pace.

I think that’s a bit much, as I think he should only catch 120 games max and I don’t want him playing 155-160 games.

Im guessing some of this slows down as the summer goes on.

I think he's going to need an injury to Frazier or something along those lines. Maybe in a couple of months they'll bench someone for him.

Yeah 10 guys have started at catcher 27+ games this season and 15 have caught 25+ so basically a third of the starting catchers have started at catcher  as much or more then Adley has.

I don't think anyone is suggesting he's starting at Catcher too often.  The issue is the lack of any full days off and coming into to catch after DHing when they've had three Catchers on the roster.

I'm surprised they took tom out of the rotation. He was doing great as a starter so I would have thought they would want to use him as a starter, especially  because he is left handed and we have no left handed starters in the Majors.

That was supposed to be about Drew Rom. I was typing on my phone earlier, and to be honest I suck at typing on my phone.

The Rom callup is interesting. Will he get a start? If he's a 1-2 inning guy in the bullpen, why not Vespi? 

That's exactly what I was wondering. Vespi proved he can do it, and he wouldn't be stealing a LHP starting pitching prospect from the rotation.

It feels like we are going through option years and cash considerations like candy and dirty underwear. They keep yo-yo optioning players proving they haven't thought ahead well enough to anticipate the way things might go. They can't make up their minds what they want to do with Stowers, Vavra, Torrens, and O'Hearn. It really is wasteful.

I think they're doing exactly what they want with Stowers, Vavra, Torrens, and O'Hearn. Most likely they are just depth pieces and they are shuffling them around accordingly. Ortiz is a different matter. He profiles as a guy that can be a ML SS. There's just not any where to play him everyday right now.

      Brandon Young 2024

      By Just Regular · Posted

      BP profiled him today: Brandon Young, RHP, Baltimore Orioles Listed Height: 6-foot-6 Listed Weight: 210 pounds DOB (Age): August 19, 1998 (25) Pitch Velo Spin IVB HB Total % Whiff% 4-Seam Fastball 93.5 2124 18.0 -4.8 131 48.7 31.8 Changeup 85.5 1730 9.8 -13.3 64 23.8 22.9 Curveball 75.7 2723 -14.4 11.5 34 12.6 40.0 Slider 85.4 2048 5.4 5.5 26 9.7 12.5 Sweeper 79.5 2084 1.7 11.5 14 5.2 11.1 Injuries limited Young to just 53 1/3 innings between 2022 and 2023. Upon return to action last year, he flashed increased velocity. That velocity bump has carried over to 2024. Now, Young’s fastball has borderline-average velocity (previously below-average) but above-average carry and extension (6.6 feet). It is further aided by strong command. After his fastball, which is by no means a world beater, Young has a smattering of average secondaries. He primarily relies on a changeup–really his only secondary with above-average potential–that has solid velocity (8 mph), vertical movement (8+ inches), and horizontal movement (8+ inches) separation from his fastball. Both his breaking balls either lack enough power (curveball) or depth (slider/cutter) to be viable putaway pitches at the MLB level. His seldomly-used sweeper has potential, but it has had little success so far. Young adds to the depth of the deepest system in baseball, yet he very well may just be that–depth–likely without an above-average offering. Of course, he could become a viable fantasy arm even with mediocre stuff due to his command and control.

      Interesting Article About Scott Boras and Orioles

      If I sell someone a house, I don’t advise them to buy the most expensive house because that means more money for me. I get to know the client, understand what’s important for them and advise them based off of that. That’s how you should always handle a job like that imo. Your wallet should not be part of the equation.

      Kyle Stowers 2024

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      This goes back to a discussion I had before.     Since Stowers likely doesn’t have great trade value, do you keep him and trade Kjerstad instead?  Even if you think HK is better, can he get you a way better player and Stowers give you 80-90% of what HK can give you? It’s possible you have room for both too.  Just saying if you decide to trade an OFer, maybe this is the smart way to go?

      What I thought was best for my client. Which would depend on what my client has told me he wants. If he wants to maximize earnings I tell him to test free agency.
