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.

      Grow the Bats? Grow the Arms? Both? Neither?

      By DocJJ · Posted

      A previous GM for the O's (I forgot who) once said the plan was to grow the arms and buy the bats.   This seemed like a good strategy at first.  Pitching is extremely expensive especially if you are trying to sign them as free agents.  I think this strategy failed, however, because of the rate of attrition of major league pitchers.  Many get injured.  Some never develop their secondary pitches or good control and command.     The new MO seems to be to grow the bats and use surplus to acquire pitching.   So far, the results seem promising...  Thoughts?

      What makes Basallo so untouchable?

      By interloper · Posted

      Fair enough. As long as you understand my intent was not to depict anything inaccurately or snipe at you or anything like that. I really was just offering an anecdote to defend the OP a bit, who I thought was getting needlessly dunked on. A lot of times I post a thing and then 5 minutes later I change some words that aren't quite right after some thought, so yeah, I just missed the mark on this one in terms of accurately describing things. My bad.

      I don’t either …. Kjerstad and Norby are too much. He a risky acquisition….I think you offer Norby or Stowers as your number 1 with a couple of others …maybe a 20-30 guy and a DSL player or two.

      Dylan Beavers 2024

      By interloper · Posted

      Beavers by month: April: .886 May: .821 June: .599 Hopefully he turns it up in July. I feel like a lot of our position prospects find a way to turn it up at the end of the year. Let's see.

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      You literally said I showed some skepticism over Basallo and that you pointed out his age and got "shouted down." Neither of which is true statement which is why I gave you the down vote (which I rarely do).  I would hope you would accurately depict what I wrote in the future vs using not just a "too harsh" of an adjective in "skepticism," but using the wrong word at all. If you are going to suggest I said something about a prospect, I just ask that your accurate depict what I said. Your original statement made it sound like I suddenly questioned Basallo after his slow start. I give out information on prospects and sometimes it's to point out their struggles. I pointed out how unbalanced Basallo was early i the season and how he did not look like that last year. That was a true statement. I did not follow that up with questioning him as a prospect or being skeptical of his prospect status. Oh, and BTW, I've given you upvotes of late as well. I don't hold grudges and typically give an upvote shortly after giving a down vote, which I only give when I'm misquoted or the post is against our rules significantly.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By RZNJ · Posted

      Ok.  You don’t know what he’s asking for.  Even more so, you don’t know what he’d accept.     Will another team offer more than Kjerstad, Norby, and McDermott?    Can another team top that?    Doubtful.      Disclaimer:   I don’t think Elias would do this but I believe Crochet is gettable without giving up one of the top 3 prospects.
