He has in the last month but didn’t he have a long streak of no errors?   He’s not an elite fielder but, in the long run, I think he’s solid at 2B or 3B, although the eye test says he looks a little better at 3B.

Sure, overall solid, I wasn't saying he was a hack out there.

Glad we agree.

I feel like the whole pity party for Norby is a bit much. He’s 23 and not a top 100 prospect in any of the major lists. He’s a subpar fielder limited to 2B and LF. He’s tied for 88th best hitter in AA

Norby low-key went 4-6 in season opener with 0 Ks and 2 RBI.  The guy gets no love.  Found it interesting he was batting 2nd.

He came in on a ball that was lined to him on a hop and it bounced off his glove. My only issue was there was a runner rounding 2nd when he lazily went after the ball. The runner saw that and took off

Norby hitting for good power this season, but I have the feeling he won't be an Oriole by the July 31st trade deadline. I have to think Norby can be part of a package to get a good bullpen arm.

 

Norby is more valuable to us as a Hays replacement, platoon RH bat, then what he would bring back in a trade. Same with Stowers. 

Norby is a classic example of if he would’ve cracked any top 100 list then he would have matriculated up to the 80’s now and we would probably view him completely differently.

After the 2022 season.

“Norby and Westburg battled down to the last game for that season homer honor. But during the year they showed similar approaches with a strong ability to drive the ball to right-center to produce a lot of their homers.

Now both are showing up on top 100 prospects list. In the latest one out yesterday, Norby got his third top 100 recognition. After coming in earlier at No. 82 via Baseball Prospectus and No. 93 via Baseball America, Norby was ranked No. 92 by ESPN.“

We focus on Mayo and rightfully so but Norby should also be getting at bats over Mateo, Urias and arguably some others.

 

What would be the problem with Norby being the primary 2B with Westburg at 3B. Mateo is getting exposed yet again being a everyday player.

They don’t like his second base defense.

      Elias: It's on me

      He had an .876 OPS last year. I don’t know why he’d exercise the option. I’d certainly pay him 1/10ish

      The hurdle for getting these guys is they value the west coast highly. I’m not saying that’s a factor in posted players. But, there is impact on the free agent types.

      Grichuk would be a perfect complement to Os roster as RHH OF with good platoon splits, however he has mutual option for $6M next year (after making only $1.5M this season). Do you see him or DBacks not picking that up?

      I’d hope David is a little more secure financially. It’s not like he has to support his wife’s country music career with 0 outside income.

      Grichuk really bounced back last year. He would be great as RH OF/DH to play against LHP. Really need to find a bat like that because we’re so lefty dominant. Losing Santander will only add to that.

      Elias: It's on me

      I think that was very true for a lot of years. Too many, really. But I feel like things might have changed this year with the fanbase, as I think the last three and a half months really ripped the shine off of just about everyone and everything associated with the Orioles. I think the attendance at these playoff games and the intensity of the crowd (just based on what I saw on TV and comparing it to 2012 and 2014) reflected how fans felt about the product this year. Even the tone of this board feels different, and I am glad to see it. I don't think people are celebrating regular season win totals like they did in the past, or thinking not being swept in the regular season was ever cool when they got ousted in 3 by Texas when it counted, or having blind faith in Elias. If anything, I think the patience with Elias, Hyde, the coaches, and the players has finally run thin. Hopefully there are no more age excuses for Holliday when we have seen what the other young Jacksons in the majors look like, or Adley when we have seen what a much older and bigger Sal Perez is capable of, or any of our hitters who all came up so small in big moments. And after seeing how active Kansas City was last offseason even on the heels of a 106 loss team, there should be absolutely no excuses centered on small market or budgets. There will be injuries in 2025 like there are every year, but the players who are on the field and healthy need to step up.
