And any 2B, 3B, SS is going to make dozens of full force throws during infield practice.

OK.   Go ahead and compare an infielder to a catcher as far as throws made in a season.

I will bet you $100,000 that a catcher makes at least triple the amount of throws.  Probably much more but lets stay with triple.

Bet? 

As I said you guys will argue anything I say.  I could say grass is green, water is H20, and that we will all be dead in 100 years. 

You would still debate it. 

The more you protest against things that are very obvious,  the less validity that your argument has. 

Initiating Gas light and straw man alerts!

Who said he was a mental case.  Again the ability to of some of you to put words in my mouth, for like the 100th time now, is beyond reproach.

And you have this incredibly self-centered view that everything someone writes here is a response to something YOU wrote.  But there are dozens of people expressing their opinions here, not just YOU.

Oh man, Froberto Duran!

I was literally responding to a post where someone quoted me and responded to it.

So.....yeah. 

But you go on and keep making things up and gas lighting.

@Tony-OH please kick this clown off. It’s not good for the OH brand.

What, you don't like having to scroll through 2+ pages of this guy's awful posts to find news about Holliday's injury?

So what’s going on with Holliday?  Just heard his arm issues mentioned when Elias was on?

Elbow injury.   Not sure what the issue is as of yet.

Interesting.   Hopefully just an overuse tired arm type injury they are being cautious with.

Well clearly he won’t be up before July 1 now.

Elias said he is thinking it will be 1-3 weeks. Just want to rest it.

It might be worth redirecting the conversation to Elias’ on air comment that despite the injury, they still expect Holliday to be a major part of the team in 2024.

Mentioned he was working on subtle changes as well.

Ok, here goes....JH is athletic enough to play CF. It utilizes his speed and solves the problem they have with Mullins. Cowser is fine out there, but he's better suited in LF. 

I'm guessing JH has never played it, so having him shag fly balls during BP, or giving him reps out there couldn't hurt. Are they dead set on him becoming the future DP partner? Because Mateo is pretty spectacular there. Center Field is a premium defensive position, too. I'd have him try it while he's down at AAA.

I personally thought CF was always the second easiest position to transition to next to 1B. There are more balls hit directly at you the other two OF positions. I think the Orioles would know very fast whether he can judge a fly ball. Seems like an experiment worth trying especially since he’s only 20 years old.
