Really good question.   To torment all the people to want to see Westburg?  Elias is trolling us now.  

Maybe one of the O’s 1B/3B has some minor tweak that won’t put them on the IL but will make them unavailable for 2-3 days.

He's probably going to only be up for a few days and Elias isn't worried about losing him.

Good point. At first I was like WTF, what about Westburg?? Makes total sense now since Columbe will be back in a few days.

Because Coulombe will miss only 2 games. Would not be surprised  he is DFA’d in a couple of days. 

Right, but for example, why not bring up Ortiz, or another reliever?  I guess maybe this is the 5-opinion limit deterring those moves.

I actually wrote out a moderately long post last night about how Lester (and Diaz too) were performing in AAA and how Mountcastle should look over his shoulder. I decided not to post it because I thought it was going to pump too much critical/negative energy into the discussion and I didn't want to add to the negativity in anything regarding Mounty. He gets too much of that already as it is.

But to mention Lester, in my OOTP simulation I just finished the season with an interesting development. Mountcastle got injured late in the season (Broken knee cap / end of his season) so I brought up Lester to take his place. The Orioles still ended up going to the World Series with Lester as the starting 1st Baseman. (I traded O'Hearn away before the trade deadline to dump his salary). They faced the Dodgers in the World Series and lost the series 4-2.

That's a computer program and not reality, but it is fun to watch things that happen and compare it to real life. All Lester has been doing in Norfolk is smashing home runs.

Regarding Lester, shouldn't he still have options?  He started in pro ball in 2015, but he didn't get called up to the big leagues until last year, when the Tigers gave him his debut. 

So surely he's only used one option?  If so, we don't need to DFA him when we send him back down.

Doubtful we see Tate this year. 

He's been dealing with this since November. In my uneducated but somewhat educated opinion, I feel like would be getting ready to start throwing at this point.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Philip · Posted

      As I said, in my second post, he has improved, I don’t care what he did last year. I’m much more interested in what he’s doing this year. And he’s improved, but he still walking seven batters per nine, and as far as I’m concerned, No. He was maddening when he was here, and I expect that he would be if he returned

      Is that true? I don't think that it is. I think baseball and other sports are similar in this respect. I picked a random NHL player... literally the first one I stumbled on, Luc Robitalle. He played 19 years in the NHL. Had a peak goal scoring season of 63, and also had seasons of 23, 15, 11, 30. Heung-min Son is a poplar Premier League soccer player, a forward, for Tottenham Hotspur. In his nine years with the club he's scored totals including 4, 14, 12, 11, 23, and 10 goals. Wayne Rooney was a regular starter in the Premier League from 2002-2018 and had goals scored totals anywhere from six to 27, including consecutive years in his prime of 27, 11, 11, 26. In the space of eight years Wilt Chamberlain had season average scoring marks of anywhere from 24 to 50 points per game. In 1981 John Riggins played in 15 NFL games, rushed 194 times for 714 yards and 13 TDs. In 1983 he played in 15 games and rushed 375 times for 1347 yards and 24 touchdowns.

      Mejdal was interviewed during the TV broadcast... maybe two weeks ago. He repeated his preference right at the end of the interview (IIRC, from the stands or field).

      I think we need to be careful about conflating BABIP and luck.  All batted balls are not created equal.  Not even all balls with the same EV and launch angle are equal.

      Draft Targets 2 Months Out

      By Jammer7 · Posted

      You said it works out less often. I agree that is what the historical data said in a study many years ago. It is a reason to be cautious. I would add that Gunnar is an exception as well. There are a long list of 17 year talents who do not develop. For me, it has more to do with which team drafts them, than age at graduation. Things are changing, I think. I read an article some months ago about development and it talked about the age factors of high school kids. It was in depth about age, confidence, physical maturation and all that. It talked about high level travel ball, year round development and training, and how modern data have helped evaluate the players. I believe it was the opinion of the author, so I suppose it is anecdotal.  Many talented kids are 19 at graduation, and Florida and Texas have it quite often. When they go to college, they become draft eligible sophomores. There are many examples of players in that demographic finding success. I have no idea where that article was, sorry. I read a lot about these kinds of things from many sources as a former youth coach and the parent of a 13 year old pitcher/player. I am sure someone will ask for a link. Take it for what it is. Not trying to be argumentative, or contrary. Just adding to the discussion, Greg.
