He was already on our wish list for the offseason, sounds like those prospects just got better.

The final minor league 3 up, 3 down of 2021.

Mayo and Westburg, may decide where each other plays, if and when they get to the Orioles.  Mayo locking down third would mean Westburg plays somewhere in the middle.

I thought Gunnar was supposed to play 3rd 

 

Hopefully we have this problem that too many of these guys become major leaguers, and maybe somebody can stick at short.

These things have a way of sorting themselves out.  I would like to see us sign a good, steady veteran SS or third baseman, THIS YEAR, and let the kids battle for the remaining 2 spots.  It would be nice if all these young guys hit, but history tells us they won't all become big league regulars.

Kevin Smith is one of the more disappointing seasons on the farm

[BSLBobPhelan]

He has no command of his breaking ball. Doesn't matter how good it is if batters don't swing and you can't throw it for a strike.

I agree. Really Norfolk was disappointing overall this year, while Bowie and below were great.

A 700 OPS is the best week any of Norfolk's hitters had?  Ouch

Yeah, it was rough... Yusniel Diaz had a .905 OPS but that is based on going 1-7 with a homerun and a walk.
