Not sure if this info was available online. Couldn't find anything so will try to keep track here: Edit: Only considered games started, not when brought in as sub, except for plate appearances.

I can see this being the lineup on OD, at least the top 7…add in Westburg and maybe Holliday at the end.

Quick questions:

1) Do you prefer O'Hearn in RF or Santa?

2) Do you think they continue to have Mullins lead off or does Adley step back into that role?

I think Mullins is the lead off hitter to start the year.

I think people forget that there was a good argument that Mullins was the best player on the team last year prior to his first injury.  And even after the first injury, after a slow start, he started to turn it back on. However, once he got hurt again, he was a shell of himself.

So I think now that he is healthy, you put him back in the leadoff spot until he shows you shouldn’t.

And I guess Santander because of his arm.

At least 1 of Wong or Maton seems likely at this point.  I think the O’s would rather have the flexibility to bring up younger players than to lose veterans who they think can help.  Things could change quickly but that’s how I currently see it.

As of May 30 (1/3 mark of the season), Mullins was leading the team in both rWAR and fWAR.  He was hurt on May 29.   He was hitting .263/.356/.479 at the time, with 13 stolen bases.  That would be a good leadoff guy.

Yep..and he was hitting lefties very well too.

He was going to be an AS. I think it’s easy to forget because they feels like it was so long ago but he was absolutely fantastic for those first 2 months. He was on his way to maybe a better all around season than his 30/30 season was.

I prefer Santander.   O'Hearn scares me every time a ball is hit his way.

Just to play devil’s advocate a little, I wouldn’t say Mullins played great for all of those 53 games before his injury.  He wasn’t the team rWAR/fWAR leader after 18 or 36 games, for example.  He was on a nice heater just when he got hurt, .974 OPS over his last 16 games to take his OPS from .772 to .835.   But anyway, he was putting up better numbers than he did post-injury.

Now that Wong is here, it seems like Maton will be one of the first cut. Just no need for the guy. 

I'll believe that when Holliday starts getting reps with the A team.  If Holliday is going to be on the OD roster then I'd think they would want him to start playing alongside Gunnar to build chemistry.  Until that happens, it looks like we're seeing Maton vs Wong for 26 man roster spot for OD.

Two developments yesterday that make the lineups interesting to follow. Gunnar came back, and Mullins got hurt. A couple of things to watch for with these lineups…

1. Who moves from the B squad to the CF spot on the A squad while Mullins is hurt?  McKenna and Cowser have been with the B squad to alternate in at CF starts. 

2. With Gunnar back do we move Holliday to 2B on the A squad to start to build double play combo chemistry? It might be a week too early for that and young legs might keep making the bus trips away.

      How far do you go to try to save this?

      By Moose Milligan · Posted

      I don’t think this is totally accurate.  Means was looked at as a guy who no one could count on for this year, I don’t think anyone expected him to be able to finish the season.  Sort of the same scenario with Bradish, I think everyone thought this outcome was inevitable. They tried the treatment and that delayed it but no one should be surprised about this.  Wells is Mr. Glass. The fact that they all went down in the first half of the season is inconvenient but shouldn’t be totally surprising.  All of these guys had issues headed into the season.

      We’re tied with the Yankees in the Loss Column.

      We have been several times. We need to be at least 1 game better in the lose column if we're 3 games down. The percentages say we're going to lose one of those 3 games. There's 83 games left to play. We just need to win as many as we can.

      Yes, they're asking pitchers to throw at 110% all the time, just like everyone else in the world from 11U on up.

      OP is asking about next year as well as this one. I think the point is we can get a guy who will help us now and next year. We did expect to lose Bradish but not him and Means and Wells all at the same time. Right now we would be going into next year with Grayson as our only dependable guy. Won't be much margin for error without another Burnes type.

      Something to keep in mind in the offseason is that the starting pitcher FA market doesn’t look that great in terms of pitchers we would sign or even want to sign. On top of that, you have several guys who only become FA if they opt out and if they opt out, it’s likely because they didn’t have a great season. Combine that with the idea that our only 2 internal rotation candidates are Povich and McDermott, both of whom have exhibited a lot of issues with command and control and it certainly is a shaky long term outlook for the rotation. Position player wise, we will (in theory) lose Santander and McCann. Hays and Mullins are likely gone. Not going to have both Mateo and Urias but certainly could bring back one. As of now, OHearn definitely has his option picked up. If it were up to me, Mounty would be traded. 2 years left of control, likely to be coming off a very solid season and we have players behind him. He could help fetch us some pitching. My expectation is at least 2 of Mounty, OHearn and Santander will be back. How so many of these guys and our prospects end the year will determine how we attack the offseason. But for the deadline, I think obtaining a starter that can be here long term is something the team should look at.     You have several options in Miami and potentially a guy like Detmers.    A Detmers/Estevez package is something I would be looking into.  Same thing with Nardi and one of the Marlins starters, like a Braxton Garrett for example. For me, the key here is that you need to upgrade the pen. I think if you make the pen really good and you have Burnes and GRod, that may be enough.  I’m not trading our top 3 prospects. I think all play big roles in 2025, although Basallo may not play a role until the season is well underway, But I would trade Kjerstad and anyone else while hoping to keep certain guys although they wouldn’t be deal breakers.

      And Fangraphs has the Yankees 68% to 31% to win the division.
