Gunnar Henderson is a corner outfielder or first baseman. Baseball has gone crazy forcing their premiere hitters to play premiere defensive positions. Cal Ripkens don't grow on trees.
Wow smh 🤦🏻♂️, this Orioles season feels like a Bataan Death March . With all these injuries they having , and they still have best AL record ? This is a strange baseball season
I don't see this team having a losing season next year. So they will be at least tied for second place. I think they will hold second place by themselves in two years, but catching up with the top of the list is likely impossible in this day and age.
We'll be watching it unfold all decade, but I think the 2 great process questions are:
1. Talent Accumulation phase vs. Winning phase. Did Elias try hard enough to honor the talents of his greatest players in 2023, or even 2022? I've seen appropriate growth this year.
2. Adley vs. Eternity. All Elias is I believe ever going to say publicly is homage to "sustainable pipeline". It might also be true Adley is the straw that stirs the drink (not right now obviously), and no one is going to drive a winning window like he does.
I do recall in 1989 or so, Orioles had pitcher Jeff Ballad . He was a lefty and soft tosser also . He had some success with us but it was brief ( if I’m not mistaken)
That is good question and I have no idea how they would try program workouts to increase velocity, failing that, they have to try remake him new pitches , delivery, mechanical or something . The hope is they could keep at Norfolk and see how he performs then . Worse case, if he flops, wave the white flag 🏳️ and DFA him
