BTW if he pitches well enough to finish top 2 in ROY thats awesome and I'll take it every day over the extra year of service time. The odds are he isnt going to finish top 2. I also think he's got the potential to be that good that in 2029 we will be like damn glad we still have him here. Its an easy decision easy to give up the 15 innings he will throw now at the start of his career for the 170-200 he will likely throw in 2029.

There's a way to ensure he's an Oriole in 2029 or even 2030 either way but that would require spending more than 10 million dollars on a single player

Elias shot down the suggestion that service time factored into Rodriguez being optioned.
"I really get frustrated with that topic, too," he said.
We do too, stop penny pinching all the time, and maybe you will begin to earn the benefit of the doubt.

Lol, I get that he has to deny it, but this is laying it on a bit thick.

Look GRod woulda been up here had he not got hurt. Thats not his fault but it is what it is. Then he comes out and struggles a bit in ST. How does it look if he struggles badly up here to start andnyou send him back at some point. Then we got all these fans, plenty who post on here, who will be calling him another pitching bust. Yeah, the service time is a big part of this. Ill say its the biggest part of this. Its not the only part. I absolutely believe he wouldve earned a spot had he not struggled going through the lineup a 2nd time the whole spring.
If the org cared about rewarding top 100 prospects for solid Spring Trainings then Westburg would be on the roster instead of the 8 million dollar 80 OPS+

He’s been taking notes from Harbaugh.

Frazier got those elite level exit velocities, though.
Yeah, his exit velocity back to the dugout after a weak grounder is at about the 90th percentile. Gives the next batter plenty of time to prepare with the pitch clock. Yep, worth every penny.

No Westburg has no room. There is legit competition now but you guys are gonna bitch to bitch. Thats what this comes down to tbh. Finding something to complain about. In previous years it was they have such a crappy roster. Now Westburg isnt up because there is already a 3 WAR player on the bench in a uti role. GROD isnt up because Kremer and Bradish and Wells have shown enough in their brief MLB careers to have earned rotation spots. Even if the manipulation is the biggest role no one is laughing at Tyler Wells being the one who got the rotation spot over him. This aint Mike Wright, Chris Ellis, Thomas Eshcelman who starts the year in the rotation. Find another angle guys. The narrative y'all are driving doesnt add up

I was being sarcastic. Frazier literally doesn't have any positives except maybe he's slightly above average defensively.
Oh I know you were. Just having some fun. No one in their right mind would seriously try to spin spending $8M on him, when you have such a minuscule budget overall and depth at the position already, as a prudent move.

For most people I don't think it comes down to Westburg's ST performance, Urias as a utility guy, etc. It's that Frazier was here to begin with considering those guys and more were already in the organization.
Fraizer shouldn't be taking ABs away from Westburg, Norby, or even Urias.
Frazier also seems like a terrible investment for what was clearly a very limited fund for free agency. We spent 23M between Gibson (10M), Frazier (8M) and Givens (5M) so I think you don't have to be some evil hater to wonder if that a bad allocation of resources given the internal options

Adam Frazier is proven vet? Yeah, he's proven he has a 1st percentile exit velocity!
