2024 Delmarva Shorebirds

Recommended Posts

Rolphy Cruz is the only other position player that I might have expected to see here (other than perhaps Kevin Guerrero).

There are several pitchers not on here that were either previously in the roster or might have been expected to start here.  

Kiefer Lord 

Eccel Correa

Juan Rojas

Kelvin Laroche

Angel Vargas

Jack Maruskin

Raúl Rangel is the only pitcher that I'm mildly surprised he didn't make Delmarva. He could be hurt again or just did not make it.

Offensive players, the only ones I'm mildly surprised are Edwin Amparo and Maikol Hernández, only because the Orioles have so much invested in Hernandez and Amparo has some investment too. Wonder if they are hurt. 

Oh, and thought maybe Raylin Ramos might make the team despite missing so much time with a broken leg last year.

Raul Rangel was released.   Maikol Hernandez had major surgery.  I believe TJ.

I'm mildly surprised to hear about Rangel.   I was pretty interested in him back in 2021.  Oh well.

Based on breakout roster, these should be the main starters at each position. Note, we know the Orioles like to mis and match and move guys around.

1B: Noelberth Romero
2B: Aron Estrada
SS: Leandro Arias
3B: Anderson De Los Santos
LF: Stiven Acevedo
CF: Braylin Tavera
RF: Thomas Sosa
DH: Jake Cunningham (He will rotate through all 3 outfield spots)
C : Aneudis Mordan

4 19 year olds.  I bet that’s a first for everyday position players.

I spoke to Cunningham for a couple minutes the last day I was at Twin Lakes.  He said he’s 100% healthy and the foot injury is all behind him. 

He’s a guy I’d expect to move up quickly, assuming he performs well of course.

He certainly should be the first to move if he does well.

Stiven Acevedo is league average age this year.  I wonder if he can put it together and have a mini break out year.  I was impressed with him last year in the games I saw him play.  He's a physical guy that really packs a punch and moves well for a big guy.  If he can get more contact, he could put up some impressive power/speed numbers.  At 6'4'' he's a big dude and super athletic.

So are all but 2 of the position players on this roster from the Dominican Academy?  If that is the case,  that is quite the investment the O's have made down there.  Our were some of these guys picked up in the international draft?

Without double checking, I think that’s right. Starting to see some of these international trees bear fruit, which is great. Delmarva can be make or break for many of these players, but I think we have a much more talented group passing through this year, so expectations are probably a little higher. 

Also, no such thing as an international draft. Yet, anyway. There is talk of establishing one.

    • If he has been injured all this time, why are they still letting him play? After a month of poor performance with an injury, they should have sat him. EDIT - Screw a month, 2 weeks.
    • And McCann is our worst RHB facing a dominant lefty with reverse splits. You have to think a K is a high likelihood.  And then to send him up there with Ramon on 3rd, you have to expect the same outcome.
    • I don't like hearing that a catcher has a back issue -no matter how big or how small it is- at age 26.  
    • IMO he made two decisions that were clearly wrong, pitching to Witt and not PR Holliday, to go along with a couple others I didn’t agree with but are certainly debatable. There is no doubt that the game was lost because the bats couldn’t push a run across, but everyone has a job to do, and like the batters, Hyde didn’t do his.
    • I use the StatCast search function. It’s a little more complicated for chase rate, ground ball rate, popup rate, and sweet spot rate because you need to adjust selected pitch attributes/outcomes as well as total pitch definition and then use % of pitches. I believe popups are categorized by stringers and generally capture balls that an infielder could catch.  I believe Adley’s fly balls have gotten can of cornier even without the popups.
    • ...or simply choose not to even attempt to play situational baseball.  As I posted in another thread, 0-0 game both teams aces are dealing.  Ced leads off the inning with a double.  Your #9 hitter (McCann) is coming to the plate with your two best hitters (Gunnar and Westburg) to follow. Instead of bunting Ced to 3rd and almost assuring yourself a 1-0 lead which firmly puts the pressure on KC, Hyde chooses to let McCann swing away.  He feebly strikes out, Gunnar grounds out (there was your run), and Westburg flies out.  0 runs, 1 hit, 0 errors. 1 left on....
    • Adley - Is it an injury? Is it a woman? Is it the "process?" Is it just who he is at his age? What Is It? And no, I'm not doing a pole. Wait till 2025 for the answer - I think. Till then - speculate. This off season goin be fun on here. This thread kinda makes me miss Rick Dempsey and I have absolutely no idea why. 😄 Oh yea, he was our last WSMVP.
