Hersh Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Prospect update just from today's Bowie game: Mullins: 2-5, lead off home run, batting .317 Hays: 2-5, triple, grand slam, batting .340 Santander: 3-5, 2 HR, batting .417 (I think he needs to be added to the roster in 6-7 days) Mountcastle: 2-4, Double, batting .182 (still adjusting to AA. Probably one of the youngest players in the league) I do worry that maybe the averages are inflated due to a lack of quality pitching in the league, but it's still a good sign. As far as the game goes, I didn't see it but I just can't view the O's as serious about making a run at the playoffs with Davis and Trumbo batting 4th and 5th. One of those two needs to be traded this off-season. Most likely on Trumbo would be able to be moved unless the O's took back a back contract from someone else in order to trade Davis, but that's a sideways move.

Spaceman Spiff Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 AA pitching isn't as bad as say, PCL pitching. PCL stats are always super inflated. Remember that Angels SS Brandon Wood who flamed out? I remember hearing about how that guy was gonna kill it cause he hit something like 45 homers in the PCL. Excited about all of those guys, I bet Hays and Mullins see time in Baltimore next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going to be cool to add legitimate speed to the every day lineup and having real defensive speed in the OF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCSaints_fan Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Was at the game tonight . . Happened to be a few rows above the Os bullpen so I saw Brach warning up ... He threw two balls in the grass ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DM72 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Brach is not a high pressure pitcher. I have no faith that he can hold a one run lead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abdcskins Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Not a single home run either. Bunch of doubles though. I think Beckham might end up being the steal of the century. Best deadline trade by far. Okay Bundy do your thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hersh Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 O's have to trade Trumbo in the off-season. Beckham seems destined for DH or OF with the O's. He's one of the worst fielding SS in the majors going on fielding %. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's one of the worst fielding SS in the majors going on fielding %. If he can stay in that .970+ territory, I can live with it. I think part of his problem is he doesnt play anywhere consistently. He was never great going back to his early years in pro ball where he was exclusively a SS. But now it had been about 4 years in between him playing there every day. But we also need to see what he's like at the plate when he comes back to earth. That's quite an indictment of Trumbo that Beckham has basically been as good as him this year.

pjfootballer Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Should have been sellers. We are no further along then 3 weeks ago. But I do like getting Beckham to replace Hardy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
