Teheran opts out

Why? He was really good once, but now he's nothing special. Wouldn't have been upset if we kept him or not.

Because we have no starters behind Irvin who are major league ready.

I think McDermott is basically ready. He's looked every bit the part this spring. 

I would have liked Teheran to stay in the minors for depth purposes, but Albert Suarez might be a better option.

Teheran and Wong released.   Pleasantly surprised they didn’t go the veteranosity route and also able to break the love affair with LH hitting 2B.

Seems like good news for Webb and McKenna.

Maton remains in camp so we're not completely out of the woods yet on the lefty 2B thing.

Nothing will top the love affair for Tyler Nevin. All signs pointing that direction.

True, but hard to believe a player who is 0 for spring, and despite some good plays, has looked shaky at 3B and SS, makes it.

He’s RH and all the positions he plays has a RH hitter there.  He doesn’t add anything defensively or with speed.   I think it’s McKenna over Nevin.

    • Didn't see today's game in it's entirety but I will say this.  I feel 100% more confident with Mateo playing second and turning  a DP rather than JH right now.  JH will be fine there.  In time.   But even forgetting his hitting, D wise he just isn't there yet.   And yes I know the metrics say he is fine.  But to me, using the eye test, he looked very shaky fielding and throwing,
    • I like Kevin.  He is constantly improving.  My only beef is that he doesn't seem to understand that a foul ball isn't always out of play.   A ball can be hit foul, but still be in the field of play. 
    • My preferred day 3 WR would have been Troy Franklin, but he apparently had a bad combine on positional drills (which might have been because he had the flu.)  And he got picked by Denver pretty early.   Devontez Walker is kind of intriguing.  He's 6'2", barely.   A bit on the skinny side but ran in the mid-4.3s.  His route tree is pretty limited, mostly short quickouts/slants and go/post routes. But he's really good at the deep routes.  Sort of a discount DK.  He's reported to have good hands and good deep ball tracking ability as well.  We have to see how that translates in the pro game.
    • Adley looks way more energized and McCann is veteran catcher who is good defensively and handles the pitchers well.  Doesn't really make sense to wear Adley out when the O's are using him at the top of the lineup. 
    • Just seems like a more controlled swing from the right side, shorter, flatter.
    • He was signed in the Covid year when they only had a 5 round draft, which is why he was undrafted.  Was showing promise bur tore his UCL in 2022.  Pitched a little last year, this is his first full year back.  Nice to see the good outing.  
    • What's up with Brandon Young? Out of nowhere (#30 prospect above... undrafted?) he goes 3 IP with 0 hits or walks, and 7 Ks, throwing an otherworldly 26 of 31 pitches for strikes, in Bowie's game today.
