It’s absurd to say that he’s better than Gunnar. But yes he’s very very good. 

Westburg doesn't get the fanfare that Henderson gets but I agree with Roy to an extent. Westburg isn't far behind Gunnar and I think Westburg is actually under rated nationally. Westburg is slightly more versatile than Gunnar defensively. Which is a high compliment because Gunnar is versatile too, and a superstar/future MVP.

For those wondering what Hays is good for, Hays 98% would have had that ball that ended up a triple.

Will be interesting.. when Hays comes back who goes? Gotta think the McKenna love and lack of options means Kjerstad goes

I just had it on mute to the side, but would it be correct to say the percentage of outfielders on the 40-man roster who would have caught that baill is "high"?

I would say so. It was hit hard but plenty of time to get there. He played it poorly.

I usually just wait for Roy to catch on to a slumping player.   Then we get to hear about how he's struggling 4 or 5 times in every game thread, night after night.

No sense starting it earlier.

🤣

Just wondering if it’s okay to talk about Santander’s potential replacement looking just as lost as Santander has looked early on.

Kjerstad looking like a DH. I wonder what the trade value for a DH is? It's not Mason Miller.

If a guy can not get to play five days a week we wont see the real Kjerstad.  He does not look like the kind of guy who can sit on the shelf for a week and come in and be golden.  

Hyde should override Sigbot and play Kjerstad more.

    • the question isn’t about being able to make the offers, it’s about being awarded compensatory picks for more than one.
    • I don’t consider a 4 o’clock game a night game. He also caught Wednesday night and Thursday day this week. Moral of the story is McCann will start 4 games in 7 days because he is Burnes preferred catcher.
    • It is absolutely possible. In 2022, the Mets gave a QO to Bassitt, Nikki, and DeGrom. The Red Sox gave a QO to Boegarts and Eovaldi. The Yankees gave a QO to Judge and Rizzo. The Dodgers gave a QO to Turner and Anderson. I know that it seems to be a foregone conclusion that Santander will not be on the team after this season, and while I generally agree that it is more probable than not that he will not be re-signed, I do think there is a non-zero chance that he will be retained. I think he is the most likely of Mullins, Hays, and himself to be retained, even if it is a small chance. The team has told us how they feel about his bat because he plays essentially everyday, and I have heard Kostka say that they value his clubhouse presence.
    • Santander won’t get a QO, and if he did, he would accept. His defense is declining and we have too many capable youngsters who should replace him effectively. But to your question, I don’t know if there’s a limit, but I doubt it.
    • O's will probably have to wait till July for a trade because there are so many more buyers than sellers.  I think teams like the Blue Jays, Rays Tigers and Mets are likely to be sellers but they are still in the race although not very good teams as constituted. 
    • No Scott. He’s way too undependable. We need someone who WON’T enter a game and walk folks like he’s promoting a healthy lifestyle. He’s been a lot bette4 this season, but he’s too undependable, and we already have too many of those. No Flaherty either. That’s like taking your GF back after she cheated on you.
    • The team's continued success has really put Elias on the spot IMO and I don't see a Flaherty type as an option anymore.  My money is on a sensible trade that comes at a price high enough that most of us here, including myself, won't like, but a premium comes with having bad luck and that's where the O's are at the moment.
