Reed Who?  That’s right.  Our 2nd 2nd round pick in the 2021 draft with a grand total of 71 minor league games played coming into this season is finally starting to show why they picked him.    He started the year with Aberdeen and almost immediately went down with a hamstring issue.  It’s been one thing after another with the biggest injury being a torn labrum to his non throwing shoulder back in 2021-22.

Tonight, batting 3rd for the Ironbirds the just turned 24 yo, batted 3rd and played CF, went 3-4, with 2 triples, 1 walk, and 4 RBI.

In 67 PA he’s now batting .321 with a 1.018 OPS.  5 doubles, 3 triples, 1 homer, 12 walks, 9 strikeouts, perfect on 9 stolen base attempts.

Reed, welcome back to the fight and continued good health.

Yeah, I'd love to see what he can do if he can stay on the field.  I know the team was high on him when they drafted him, another kind of toolsy guy.

24 years old so I think if he has a good 1st half you gotta push him to Bowie even with the limited ABs.

Nice to see him hitting well and obviously healthy. Plus he's showing a little extra base pop which was something that was always missing from him in pro ball. Certainly worth keeping an eye on him and seeing how fast they will get him to more age appropriate players in AA.

Looks like Trimble hasn't played since August 21. Yet another injury?

Yes, he on the 7-day IL once again. He had a hamstring injury earlier in the year and was taken out after line drive single into the outfield so perhaps he tweaked it again? It was hard to say because he was standing there at first base talking to the first base coach and then they pinch ran for him.

He had never played more than 33-games in a season until this year when he played 54 games in a row before getting hurt. Unfortunately he's just one of those fragile guys. 

Hopefully it's nothing serious and will be back soon. He was becoming interesting.

Trimble, Rhodes, and Burnes, have all missed, and I believe we from the same draft. 🤦‍♂️

Burns was a 6th-round pick, I wouldn't necessarily call that a miss.  And Trimble looks like he has some talent, just can't stay on the field.

Rhodes I'd probably put in the miss category.  Obviously there are lots of misses in the 3rd round but he doesn't seem to have made much progress in the system.

Rhodes is kind of the poster boy for the Orioles drafting guys with some tools, but coming off a down year at the plate (.251 the year he was drafted as a draft eligible Soph). He was given an over slot bonus $1,375,000 in a draft where Mason Miller went 21 picks later to the A's for $599,100 and Cade Povich went 22 picks later to the Twins for $500k.

Now, I know you can do this with most drafts, but the real focus here is on the Orioles insistence of drafting these college project bats like Rhodes over attempting to get some upside college arms. Rhodes and Carter Young are guys they gave big bonuses to after having down years, and neither has developed much with their bats. 

Back to Trimble, he's a guy who started to show some potential, but the injury bug haunts him and he still doesn't have a lot of pop. Saying that, i like him better than Rhodes or Young.

We've yet to see the Orioles take a low performer and make them into a valuable major league asset.  Could Jud Fabian take a 4th outfielder role some time next year and be the first, that's a possibility.

      9/15: O's Head Home After A Loss To The Tigers

      By Baseball fandom · Posted

      Yes the same here. They are going to the playoffs and yet I have no feeling towards it whatsoever. Weird feeling. Like you just know they are going to get bounced in the first round. It looks inevitable. I mean you could make a case the Tigers are more deserving of the Orioles spot. They are playing some great baseball of late.

      Man Baltimore sports has not been kind. The Orioles are on a  3 month tailspin and the Ravens did what they do best and blew another double digit 4th quarter lead to a inferior team.  Let's see if the Orioles can right the ship,  though I'm not holding my breath on that one at all. Yikes.

      2024 Week 2: Ravens vs Raiders

      By Hallas · Posted

      Idk how impactful this was, probably pretty low on the list of problems, but this is the 2nd straight week that Lamar threw the ball late in the game and the receiver was unable to get oob.  The ball to Bateman is probably excusable because we had more time on the clock and we needed the deep ball to be in position to make a run, but this time throwing a 12 yard dump to Andrews was just straight up stupid IMO.  I get that they're going to play outside leverage all day every day in this situation but just throw it away and try to take another shot.  Lamar has to have more clock awareness than that,  and Harbaugh has to instill in him the importance of saving those seconds on the clock.

      FIX THE DANG HITTING!

      By now · Posted

      Sorry but that response from Fuller sounds to me like too many words, concepts, abstractions, and if that's how he communicates, wordy and convoluted, it's a lot for hitters to carry "into the box." Not to mention all the specifics involved, re. what pitches and locations to look for, all the analytics of how to do the swing and torque the body, etc. I'm no coach but I can imagine a whole season of this approach just becomes information overload. Maybe it's not rocket science, after all (with all due respect to ex-NASA Sig). Maybe the antidote is more Zen: just see the pitch and hit the dang thing.  BTW I think the analytical, overthinking approach is better suited to the pitching side, where you can plan your attack based on all the data. Hitting is more reaction, no time to think. You can't beat pitching using the same approach--rather, need the opposite approach, to counter with instinct and intuition. At least, that's my cheap (2 cents) advice!

      The proposition that every auction automatically results in an overpay is simplified indeed.  Granted, "kind of true" is a low bar to clear, but still...

      Should probably move this to the minors section.  I don't see him in the majors again this season.
