Hope he gets moved to AAA soon so he can start working on the 700 PAs he'll need to accrue to get called up.

They can't, because they won't move the AAA players that are crushing it to the majors because they insist on player Frazier and Mateo almost every day.

Hey now, Mateo and Frazier’s proven record of sub-.700 OPS play is too high a bar to expect the rookies to overcome

He will likely get the minimum 129 MLB ABs ( or whatever it is) next year so he can start 2025 with ROY eligibility.

I know you're being sarcastic, but I wonder if there isn't some truth to your point even so.  Cowser has the least minor league experience with 1591 total PA's but 359 of them at AAA.  Interestingly, Ortiz has 2324 PA's with only 142 in AAA and he's up already.  Westburg has advanced the quickest with 2286 total PA's of which 714 have been at Norfolk.  I don't see anything in there that warrants much of a conclusion other than what. most of us consider as logic is not particularly compelling to Mike Elias. 

Westburg has cleared your bar yet he still languishes even though the two positions he's most suited for are the ones the O's most need to improve and that is certainly reason enough for most of us to be as impatient as we've become.

Edit:  As I was writing this, I see that a thread was started letting us know that Westburg has been called up.  I will remain suspicious until it's clear that he's not going to be "Stowered", but I'll take this as genuine progress.

Maybe 700 PA is the threshold after all.

Today I learned that wanting to see exciting young prospects get opportunities = whining. Noted.

Roy, I'm sure you agree that the O's have lots of really exciting prospects still in the minors--Mayo, Holliday, Cowser, Westburg, Kjerstad...it's an impressive list.  Do you think the O's should hold on to all of these guys, or do you think they should look to include one or more of them in a trade for a legit #1 starter (assuming there is one available at the trade deadline)?

I would sit Mateo.  The persuasive argument is 3rd best winning percentage in MLB.

      By Jagwar · Posted

      You must choose a 26-man roster from 26 seasons. Here are the rules. Ignore 2020 Select 13 position players, with 9 starters and 4 bench players Select 13 pitchers, with 5 starters and 8 relievers You can only select one player from each season from 1998-2024 (exclude 2020) You can only select a given player ONCE  Starting pitchers have to be starting pitchers, relievers have to be relievers I will amend rules as appropriate from any suggestions you have. Go.

      Rutschman 2nd half OPS .585 - McCann’s 2nd half OPS .785

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Adley's teams have beaten Witt's teams by about 25 games/season the last 2 years and hopefully can maintain a lead the next 2-3 days. If McCann bats 9th, and Ragans is gone before Batter Faced #27, would the risk of forfeiting the DH be considered if a righty reliever is attacking McCann in a key spot?    Hyde has at least Kjerstad and Holliday on the bench, and maybe one of Mullins or Cowser if Slater starts. I am guessing the roster tomorrow will be 14 bats and 12 arms, so you might have one extra somebody for the team's 36th or 45th plate appearance. One factor against taking the chance...zombie runner is gone so the two teams could have long extra innings for the first time all year.

      Cardinals open to trading Sonny Gray

      By casadeozo · Posted

      Not sure if it’s been shared already, but saw this and thought he would totally make sense as someone to target in the offseason. Cardinals are looking to reduce payroll, though not sure what a reasonable offer looks like for a 35 year old pitcher making 25 million a year for the next two years. A very light free agent class this year. Someone will definitely overpay for Burnes and I hope it’s not the Orioles. Severino, Buehler, Bieber and Max Fried are also intriguing. What say you? https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2024/09/report-cardinals-open-to-offers-on-sonny-gray.html

      Corbin Burnes 2024

      By Grt 2BA FL Gator · Posted

      I was looking that up too. He was in the bullpen throughout 2018 brewers run. Had a very solid first playoff start in 2021, then a not so good one in 2023 as you posted. Postseason is a different animal, and he’s got some experience, but he’s not proven in the playoffs. Time to make that money Corbin!
