Diner Question: Which Oriole minor leaguer are you most eager to see?

View Comments

• It appears that Mullin's chance is closed at hand so I'll skip over him and jump right to Mountcastle. The O's keep close tabs on player options/tenure so I doubt he'll be up not to mention his questionable fielding. Tate and Diaz both acquired in recent trades also hold a curiosity for me. But my feeling is that Mullins will be here soon,Hays and a few pitchers in Sept.

  • Good call on Mullins, Orial. He received his promotion today and will be in center field tonight, with Adam Jones moving to right.

• Aside from being eager to see him, I'm perplexed why Mullins hasn't been called up yet.

  • He's been in a slump, so that delayed him. He should be up pretty soon.

  • The Orioles obviously heard you, Creatively.

• I want them all and I want them now. Get on it.

• Diaz, I feel we know what Mullins brings to the table. (Younger and maybe speedier Gentry).

• Honestly, just based on pure anticipation, I'm most anxious to see Hunter Harvey. My interest there is in seeing if he's been worth the wait. The guy has been like a Greek tragedy with regards to injuries, and I really hope this ends better for him than one of those aforementioned works. I guess saying I'm anxious for him to be called up may not be quite accurate. But he's the player I want to see more than any other in the system.

  • Bigdaddy, I have no idea when we'll see Harvey, although it looks as if we'll have to wait until 2019.

    • As it stands now, I'm not interested in rushing him to the majors. It's not like he's the last piece of the rebuild puzzle and we're just waiting for him to get there.

• I'll add on to my previous entry, that I feel like Garabez Rosa deserves a call up. Not because he's the future of the team, but because he's been toiling in the Orioles minors since 2007. He's not a prospect, but for the love of god give him his day in the sun.

  • Had Rosa had a bigger season in Triple-A, I think he would have been called up already. The Orioles and other major league teams generally call players up, not to reward them, but to see if they can help them.

• Please give Little Yaz a shot. He's batting better than Mullins and Stewart and it could peak fan interest. With all the OFers on the way, this could be his last and only shot.

  • Tzuk, overall, Mike Yastrzemski's minor league numbers are not compelling, and I would be surprised if he got a call.

• If like to see anyone but Beckham or Davis in the lineup. :). Time to give Stewart a shot. He has been grinding at each level. Let’s see what he can do in the bigs

  • DJ Stewart's numbers at Norfolk, haven't been great, JustWin. Entering tonight, he's batting just .238 although he has a .338 OBP. He'll probably get a call next month.

• I think most people including myself want to see Mullins. He is very athletic with base stealing ability. I would like to see DJ Stewart along with Brandon Kline. Stewart's average has been down lately and he has had injuries. However, he still leads Norfolk in home runs, rbi, obp, and steals. Kline was a high pick several years ago. He like many drafted Orioles pitchers has been injured but seems to be healthy now with a power arm. They need to make room for these guys and let them play.

  • You're getting your wish on Mullins, Grand Strand. I am eager to see Kline, and I think there's a decent chance you'll see him in September.

• How about Ryan Ripken!!!

  • Ryan Ripken is batting 248 at Delmarva, deqalt.

• Put all their names in a bowl and pull one out. Mullins is an “Eh... maybe” but the only reason Stewart is in Norfolk is they have so much $ invested in him. All the others need “seasoning” and doing it in the majors is a tough row to hoe. Face it, the cupboard is bare.

  • Ekim, I think you're being a little too pessimistic here. There are some good pitchers at Frederick and Bowie, and overall the talent is better than it has been in the past though it still needs to get better.

  • Rich... after last night (19 runs) they should bring them all up, right now. That was unbelievable!

• On a general note, here it is August 10 and none of our prospects have been called up. Now I read that Craig Gentry is ready to re-join the team. Are the auditions going to take place before the rosters expand? If I have to watch another game with Beckham at shortstop, I think I will puke.

  • You're getting your wish, Spinmaster, Mullins is on hand.

• With out a doubt... Ryan Mountcastle. The ball makes a different sound when it comes off his bat. He's going to be a beast!

  • The only question, Tswayne is where does Mountcastle play?

• Going to say Ryan McKenna! Not as an outfielder either. I can see a move to second base in the near future with how many young outfielders the O's have. He's a young guy, only 21 and he's already holding his own at Double-A. Very hard nose player who I don't think will blow anybody away but will be a valuable piece in the future.

  • Allen, I think McKenna has real potential. i saw him at Bowie last month, and I think he'll more likely be an Oriole in 2019 than 2018.

• I personally believe TJ Nichting is being overlooked. He is a lead off hitter and his OBP is great. He can powerhit aswell. He is consistent and dependable! Give him a shot call him up. He is also a switch hitter do I need say more. I guess we wont have a chance to see him til 2019!

• Austin Hayes. Had a monster year in 2017. If he regains the 2017 form, he could be the type of stud player we need to eventually compete in the AL East. He seems to have the potential to be above average both offensively and defensively. Ryan Mountcastle also is intriguing with the bat and could be another potential stud.

• Ryan Mountcastle. we need a power hitter ar third base.
