I agree pump the brakes..on the level of stupidity surrounding freaking out over 34 at bats.

Who’s freaking out about it?  More like the “I want Jackson Holliday in the HOF as a SS”  crowd freaks out anytime talks about as a mere mortal.  Lol

You don’t seem to get it. Mayo and Basallo aren’t just prospects. These guys are upper echelon elite offensive talents that have usually been at the top of their leagues offensively while also being v

I'll say no. He's not better defensively than Westburg or Mateo, he's not hitting in AAA, just a lot of walks and singles, and Norby and Mayo are ahead of him.

Holliday's time is next year. Think that's pretty clear at this point barring him going on a power binge and a slew of injuries.

I feel the wrath of SG coming upon you in 1…..2……..3

No Holliday criticism allowed!!

Kid's gonna be fine, but he doesn't improve the team in any way right now. More development needed. More power needed. Next year.

Says he doesn’t (or really can’t) improve the team is an ignorant and factually wrong statement.

Agreed. I think Mayo is up soon to take Urias and Mateo's ABs. Holliday needs to force his way back on the roster by dominating at AAA for a period of time (again) like all the other guys have done. If that happens, he'll be back up this year. If it doesn't he'll be in the mix next year.

But thats exactly what you did

What do you want from someone who had “inside team sources” who thought Holliday was more talented than Gunnar.

No it's an opinion, actually. 

He's not a guaranteed defensive or offensive improvement over Mateo, Urias, or Westburg. It's fine if you disagree, but I'm not sure what your argument would be based on his AAA performance.

Again, next year is a different story.

Based upon what?

That the Os are a poor walk and on base team. That alone could be something he really helps improve upon. He also brings more team speed, takes Mateo out of a role he likely isn’t capable of filling for a whole season (and puts him in a better role for his skill set)

And he will be another guy that can provide extra base power.

And he likely is also an upgrade over Urias.

He should also help lengthen the lineup better than it is now.

It’s an opinion that you stated as a fact..thus why it’s complete bs.

He certainly may not help this year..that’s true. To state it as a fact, either way, is wrong.

      2024 Playoff ticket availability

      By beantownrefugee · Posted

      I have two tickets to Game 1 of the WC which I cannot use due to work travel.  Section 352, row 4, seats 9 & 10.  Asking $70 total for the two.  Paid $205 to the Orioles as a season plan member.   PM me if interested.  Paypal preferred.

      That was a lot of fun. Felt like there are certain elite seasons that had to be part of the team, and then tried to build from there.  Outfield depth is a little shaky, as is the rotation — though the latter is probably mostly unavoidable. The lineup would rake and the bullpen would shove, so pretty happy with this combination.   C 2022 Adley Rutschman (5.4 rWAR) 1B: 1998 Rafael Palmeiro (6.3) 2B: 2005 Brian Roberts (7.3) 3B: 2015 Manny Machado (7.5) SS: 2024 Gunnar Henderson (8.9) LF: 1999 Brady Anderson (5.9) CF: 2021 Cedric Mullins (5.9) RF: 2008 Nick Markakis (7.4) DH: 2013 Chris Davis (7.1) Bench: 2003 Melvin Mora (4.7) Bench: 2006 Miguel Tejada (4.5) Bench: 2011 Matt Wieters (5.2) Bench: 2001 Jeff Conine (2.9)   SP: 2000 Mike Mussina (5.7) SP: 2007 Erik Bedard (5.7) SP: 2019 John Means (4.4) SP: 2002 Rodrigo Lopez (3.7) SP: 2010 Jeremy Guthrie (4.5) RP: 2016 Zach Britton (4.1) RP: 2023 Felix Bautista (3.0) RP: 2004 B.J.

      Cardinals open to trading Sonny Gray

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      Gray started off well  but then ran out of steam a bit. He's not getting any younger. I was interested in him last year but I think the Cardinals overpaid and his contract only gets worse.
