Predict Jordan Westburg’s Statistical Peak Number

1. What age range do you think he will his his 3 year peak

2.  What WAR, Average, OBP, OPS, counting stats if you like, do you think he will average over that 3 year peak.

3. Can you qualitatively or quantitatively speak to the value of his defense at that time.

I have a feeling that Westburg is what he’s going to be, and won’t improve a ton from here offensively.  I think the one area that he can and will improve is his walk rate.  I’ll say at his three-year peak he’s an .830-.850 OPS guy.  I think he’s a solid defender now but will get better once the team puts him at one spot permanently.  I’ll say his three-year WAR peak is 13-14 and he’ll reach that early, maybe starting next year.  

He’s already as good or better than I thought he’d be at peak, and I was pretty bullish on Westburg compared to a lot of people.

What Frobby said.

I will add that with his 29.1 sprint speed I am surprised that Westy has not performed better in terms of BSR (only at 0.3 this season).

I can’t really predict his statistical peak, not very good at that stuff. But Westburg is a key player for us. And he’s really good. I can’t help but see a little Bobby Grich in this guy, and that’s a very good thing too.

I'm continually impressed with how hard he hits the ball and his plate coverage.  His HR last night looked like a pitch that should have jammed him, but it went 420 feet.  He didn't show much power last year but man he has some pop.  

More importantly, I love his demeanor, just razor focused on making winning plays.

    • I look at Rogers as pitching depth.    The O's have used 32 pitchers so far this season.   I am sure Rogers will figure into next years team somewhere.    If Povich, McDermott or Young are better than him next spring so be it.   Rogers has options. As far as trading Norby and Stowers for him, I am sure they were both offered to Tampa and Philly as well as all the 29 teams as Elias looked for pitching.   A back end starter in Rogers is the best that was offered. Elias' mission at the deadline was to improve the O's pitching without trading Holliday, Basallo, Mayo or Kjerstad.   He did that.   I am sure he didn't want to trade prospects for veterans but that was the situation he and the team were in. Someone on the O's staff thinks they can make Rogers into an asset.  They would not have traded for him otherwise.
    • So true and Lamar missing open Wrs or Wrs not getting open in the first place.. Harbaugh burning TOs in the 3rd quarter. The D can't come up with a big stop. The coaching you  name it.  It's always one thing or another against these guys 
    • Harbaugh should have a DNA test done because Jack isn't his daddy Andy Reid is. And of course MaHomes got the best of Lamar again. It's hard to get excited about this season knowing one way or another KC will send the Ravens home again in January if the Ravens even get there. It's always something always something 
    • Rodgers' best year was his rookie year and he's been downhill since.
    • The first one I think was legit, though it wasn't by much.  The last 3 were all buls***; there's no way you could have clearly seen his helmet behind the front of LInderbaum's belt on those.  He might have been briefly on the illegal side due to natural head movements (e.g. while breathing) but that's definitely not something you should be calling.
    • He can’t make any type of contact at all or even put a ball in play in the low minors.   I find that completely alarming for a high profile college junior taken in the first round.     But a large percentage of first rounders don’t ever make it…. Even guys picked at 1-1.      
    • I saw several of these tweets from former players/analysts, after maybe the 3rd time they called it Harbaugh was clearly saying to the ref "You've gotta call it both ways" over and over.
