100 XBHs in a season's worth of games is good, right?

It's decent, at best. :P LOL! Pretty crazy, right?  Once again, the RF thing is still being considered by those outside the organization.  I, for one, am in favor of them trying him out there to see how well he can adapt to it.

Let's talk about Mayo for a bit. I made most of this post in his minor league thread but feel it's relevant here. Coby Mayo look ready for major league pitching, but he's got one concern that maj

Thats not a bad idea, I'm surprised no one has thought of that.

I'd like to point out that Mayo has made one error since May 11th at 3B and has 2 errors in his last 25 games at 3B.

A strong arm in RF and less room to cover at Camden Yards? That could be a thing.

A bold move that won’t happen but I’d be thinking about moving O’Hearn to a team like Cincy or Pitt for pitching help and open up the DH spot for Kjerstad.  O’Hearn has some of the best at bats on the team but, in the end, he’s good not great.  I think we could get some bullpen help from teams that are hurting for offense from 1B.

I would be very sad if O'Hearn were to be moved. He's been one of the best hitters in baseball this year IMHO.

We've given Urias and Mateo 282 ABs this year of combined sub .700 OPS production. I'd like to give all of those ABs in the 2nd half to Mayo.

Mayo at 3b, Westy at 2b with Mateo super utility? Why doesn't that work?

Seems like Holliday isn't going to be up for at least a month or more. He hasn't seemed to have recovered his form since his demotion. Are we sure he's going to be ready to contribute this year at the major league level or is it possible he needs all of 2024 for development?

If Holliday makes it clear he's ready before the end of July, I like moving Mounty at the trade deadline, putting O'hearn at first base and then using either Mayo or Westburg at DH whenever the other is at 3b.

We don’t know how long he will be out of the field. I agree that matters a lot.  But when he’s ready, he’s going to be up.

That works.  I also think we need to find everyday AB for Kjerstad.   Cowser in LF, Mullins in CF, Santander in RF, is the best defensive alignment and the most likely to get the most AB.  As great as O’Hearns AB are the amount of actual damage is good, not great.   Just a thought.  We have a club option on O’Hearn with Santander headed for FA so I doubt he’s going anywhere.   On further thought we should probably just hold onto O’Hearn.  Lol

I think, Holliday stays at AAA until you think, without risking another demotion, he can do for the top of your line-up similar to what Kwan does for Cleveland. You are not bringing him up for his defense - you have that in Mateo. We can always use a consistent table setter, however. I hope, Holliday becomes Kwan like and maybe even better. That would be a heck of an outcome. Mayo looks primed now. And, we could use that right-handed bat. Urias appears the likely casualty. I've come to the point where I'd even DFA Urias to make that happen.

Mateo is hitting .728.

No way we don't exercise O'Hearn's option.  I have my blinders ready for the junk that'll be said.

      What makes Basallo so untouchable?

      By interloper · Posted

      Sheesh. Once again, I do not mean any offense Tony, and this was in no way a personal shot at you. "Skepticism" was I guess not the best choice of noun here. My apologies. And I am not suggesting you weren't aware of his age or upside. Of course not. Nor am I trying to take any credit for pointing out his age. I never said that and I'm not sure how you're taking that from what I wrote.  Just a side note: I feel like I've been getting a lot of downvotes from you lately, and I even tried really hard to explain that I was in the wrong with the Basallo post I referenced, and was right to get a slap on the wrist. I'm not sure where I went wrong of late, but I hope I can get out of the doghouse at some point. I feel like my posts are being written one way and read another way that I'm not intending, so maybe I need to evaluate how I'm wording things.

      By LookitsPuck · Posted

      Thanks for the kudos, all! Last year, at A+, Basallo slugged .688 w/ an OPS of 1.131. At the age of 18.  That OPS put him 5th overall (minimum 50 PA). The names ahead of him (in parenthesis are prospect rankings for 2024): Xavier Isaac (#43 prospect overall) - 19 years old Aaron Palensky - 24 years old Jonathan Clase - 21 years old Agustin Ramirez - 21 years old That's it. Behind him were names like: Drew Gilbert (#39), Wyatt Langford (#6 before season started, 21 y/o), Junior Caminero (#2), Colson Montgomery (#9), Matt Shaw (#40), James Wood (#3), Jett Williams (#31)...I can keep going.  https://milbtracker.com/hitter-stats?levels[0]=A%2B&sort=ops&sort_direction=desc&org=&timeframe=2023&min_walk_percentage=0&max_strike_out_percentage=100&paginate=612

      Why Bochy walking Kjerstad to load the bases made me smile...

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      I'll be honest, he's surprised me a bit with his defense and speed this year. His spring speed is 67th percentile and better yet, he's looked pretty decent, if not a little awkward, even while playing giant left field in Camden yards. Now, saying that, his reaction times have been quite poor (-2.9 ft/sec) and his burst is not great (-1.1 ft) but his routes have been pretty good and he's still getting used to MLB stadiums with upper decks. Heck, he even maxed at a 96.1 MH throw which is more arm strength then I've seen before.  So I have to give him some credit for doing some things this offseason to better his defensive abilities. Even Colton Cowser, who is is 9 OAA this year in the outfield and covers 34.8 ft/sec (1.3 ft better than average) was 1-.2 last year so sometimes it takes a bit.  Is Kjerstad better suited for RF than LF in Camden Yards, sure, but his defense has actually been ok out there. He's playable and should get better.

      Who goes when Kremer comes up?

      By orioles22 · Posted

      Kremer hasn't been very good at Norfolk. How much longer can he stay there? Maybe we make two trips through the rotation until the All Star break. I also wonder if Burnes makes the AL squad, and he almost certainly will, does that mean he has to skip that last Sunday start?
