2024 Norfolk Tides

[ScGO's]

Emergency reliever depth?

With Mayo’s promotion, it seems worthwhile to recap the talent that’s passed through Norfolk the last 3 years.  The following players have reached the majors:

Bautista 4/10/22

Bradish 4/29/22

Rutschman 5/21/22

Stowers 6/13/22

Hall 8/13/22

Henderson 8/31/22

Rodriguez 4/5/23

Ortiz 4/27/23

Westburg 6/26/23

Cowser 7/5/23

Kjerstad 9/14/23

Holliday 4/10/24

Norby 6/3/24

Povich 6/6/24

McDermott 6/24/24

Mayo [8/2/24]

I didn’t include above a number of other guys with lower ceilings who also reached the majors.

Sort of emblematic of the rough patch the entire organization is going through at the moment, the Tides blew a 5-run lead and the win for Charlotte was credited to…Trey McGough.

That Norfolk lineup doesn't look very strong anymore. I hope this year's draft class can fill some gaps in the next few years.

They scored 5 runs last night, 18 the night before.   They may not have any bona fide prospects remaining, but the older guys there can still hit.

You can’t promote the quantity and quality of players the Os have since 2022, and expect to still have a top notch AAA team. That’s just not remotely realistic.

Yeah, I understand. I said in the next few years.
