Adley shares tough health admission

[Gurgi]

You pray Adley starts off next year hot as the sun.  Then you move him at the trade deadline.  Because this guy is not a winner.  He wont even beat out Wieters career numbers.  Adley is got the fabled "old man" skills.  And he isn't even an old man yet.  He wont age well.  GET RID OF HIM.  Get skinny athletic guys who actually can throw the ball to second base.   We don't need a hitting catcher.  Is a luxury and a fraud usually.  

And he cant hit enough to warrant moving to first base.  That's a waste.  Best thing for us to do is sell him next year.

Not a winner?  I think you need to look at the O's record since the day he got moved to the majors.  They basically did a reversal day 1.  Now something was off with him the second 1/2 and the speculation is all speculation.  

If I am making an assumption, the game has always likely come too easy for Adley his whole life.  Maybe he didn't work as hard as he should of this past off season so the rigors of catching caught up to him.  Even at his age you can start feeling the difference in the body compared to when he was 20.  We all went through that and it does sneak up on you because you can feel physically invincible when you are young. In fact at that age is when many guys start finding out that you can't just eat what you want to all the time. So hopefully this will be the wakeup call he needed and he comes in next year and has a career year.  I don't think this has anything to do with losing ability all of a sudden.  It isn't like he wasn't killing it the first couple of months this year.
