I don't think Elias agrees with you.  One of McKenna or Hilliard will be backup  CF, late defensive  replacement and one of Kjerstad/Cowser make team as 4th Of/DH.

God that bench is gross.   Heston and Cowser need to be on the team

It looks like a good, solid, mutually beneficial trade would do wonders right about now.

Cano?

I have Ortiz at 3B.   Bench: McCann, Mateo, Cowser and a battle between McKenna and Kjerstad for the last spot.   Depends on how well Cowser plays CF in ST.

I feel fairly certain McKenna and Hilliard won't both be on the OD roster.

Yeah, under the current roster construction, McKenna and Hilliard are competing for a single spot and Kjerstad and Cowser are competing for the other spot. 

I expect/hope for Kjerstad or Cowser to get regular starts at the expense of Mountcastle 2 of every 7 games, O'Hearn 2 of every 7 games, Santander 1 of every 7 games and Hays 1 of every 7 games.

Right, but at the moment both are out of options, have ML experience as 4th outfielders and provide the ability to play CF.   I doubt both are here either.  The question is who or what pushes them off the roster.  Ortiz or Holliday  could start in the IF pushing Urias to the bench.   I could see 2 infielders on the bench with Mateo being used in the OF as well.   Maybe Cowser or Kjerstad make the team.   Being LH that would seem to knock Hilliard or possibly even O’Hearn out.

Thanks.  I added Cano and deleted Webb but maybe Tate goes down if he’s not quite 100% in ST.    I do believe I’m the one who originally brought up the possibility of Ortiz at 3B.  Certainly possible or even Ortiz at 2B with Westburg at 3B.    There are so many possibilities (Holliday? Mayo?) which makes it so interesting and impossible to predict.

I see no way that Cowser and Kjerstad both make the team without Hays, Santander, Mountcastle, or O’Hearn gone.  Just not enough playing time for two of them.

Ortiz, Cowser and Kjerstad have to be on the team or part of a trade. I don't think anyone is against rushing prospects more than me, but it's time. Elias has to move some people to find a starting pitcher upgrade.

The reason I posted that 26 man roster is because something does have to happen.  I doubt Joey Ortiz is in Norfolk to start the season.  Highly doubt that both Cowser and Kjerstad are there.

You started a thread on Ortiz at 3B but I had posted it before that.   Doesn't matter we were thinking the same thing.

However when Holliday joins the O's one of Westburg, Ortiz or Mateo/Urias has to go or be optioned.  Ortiz and Westburg have a short time to prove themselves.

Kjerstad is ready offensively but there are questions if some time at AAA might help his defense at RF/1B.

Westburg already proved himself over half a season.

      You mean a AAAA starter.  Sometimes I think he thinks he’s smarter than everybody else, so he does things that no one else would do just to prove a point. I don’t actually think he wants to spend money on free agents. I think he likes the idea of trying to be the smartest man in the room. I think his attitude is going to change somewhat next off-season, After his many blunders at the trade deadline.

      Jackson Holliday 2024

      I don’t think this is true. He’s had a lot of games as you described and there haven’t been these ten post reactions to said games. He’s going to hit. Would it be nice if he was producing this year like the other rookie Jacksons? Of course but no one (that I’ve seen) on this board is rooting against him or suggesting that he won’t be a high caliber major league hitter. His defense is another thing but he’s going to figure it out at the plate at the MLB level. You’re right though - his nice game should have garnered more attention, especially with the way the year has largely gone for him. I’m not sure what role he has in the postseason other than maybe as a pinch runner. Right now I don’t think I’m putting him ahead of any of the lefty bats on the roster. I guess he’s the only other ‘SS’ they have on the big club so he’s surely going to fill a spot but I can’t think that he plays ahead of anyone, including Rivera right now. It will be interesting to see how Hyde and Co. deploy Holliday come Tuesday.

      Starters vs Minnesota?

      By Warehouse · Posted

      Per Roch, Selby is the call up today, with Davidson presumably DFA.   Guessing today’s pitching looks like:  - Suarez (2-3 IP)  - Webb (1 IP)  - Soto (1 IP)  - Dominguez (1 IP)  - Coulombe (1 IP)  - Selby (2 IP) Bowman fills in gaps as needed.

      Holliday and Henderson is going to be an elite top 2 in the lineup.

      He’s also replaced the leg kick with a toe tap. At least with two strikes I noticed.

      Burnes named Game 1 ALWC starter

      By Warehouse · Posted

      Last year, of 8 WC teams: - 5 went with 12 pitchers - 2 went with 11 pitchers - 1 went with 13 pitchers I expect the Orioles to go with 12 pitchers. Given how Detroit mixes and matches pitching, we need to have enough platoon options.   I do think there is value in having more pitchers, even if it’s just an extra guy for mop up duty that saves pen in blowout game 2 so we aren’t running on fumes in game 3. However, I think 14 position players and 12 pitchers is the right balance for the wild card series.

      I don't think this is true.  He's struck out 3 times a few times and gone 0-4 several times and 10 posts haven't been made. I hope he has a nice view from the bench during the playoff series and gets an at bat here or there if we're up big or getting blown out.  I'd like to see him put in a lot of work this offseason and start 2025 on fire.
