Give Nevin a month to 2 months worth of ABs. Want a longer look at him


What do you see? Aside from his hot start in AAA this year he looks like a JAG to me.


I never had friends later on like the ones I had when I was twelve. Jesus, does anyone?

It kind of seems like a weakness that the team's only backup outfielders are Mancini, Mountcastle, and Nevin.  That non-catch from Neven yesterday made me miss Mancini's glovework.

There are going to be a lot of the young players who come up and may not look the part.  We need to stop judging guys by a small sample size.

Cal Sr. used to say, you really do not know what you have until a player has 1000 big league AB's.

Ho hum, just your closer throwing 28 pitches in a 6-1 game after pitching yesterday, nothing to see here.


His grandfather died today, might have wanted to pitch today if he’s going to be away from the team for a couple days.

He has 20 HR power and a solid approach at the plate. Don’t expect more than a bench player on a good team but on this team? Worth some run.

Probably nothing but a bit underrated defensively. Maybe the bat can be solid.

Pretty clear that the Os have to target 1 or 2 Inf this offseason. Whether FA or trade. Im not talking about the Jose Iglesias and Mikael Francos of the world either. I expect them to do so.

Wells is looking good. Be huge if he and Zimmerman can be something moving forward.

Also, I haven't had time to watch a lot of O's baseball this year, but Bautista looks very impressive. Some nice power arms there at the back end with Lopez, Bautista, Perez.

His MiL stats aren't that great. That is what I meant.

I didn't realize bereavement leave applied to grandparents.  That's a good policy.  Condolences to Lopez.
