Manager Dave Trembley confirmed Saturday that the Orioles will not promote top prospect Matt Wieters when rosters expand on September 1.
Wieters is currently catching for Double-A Bowie and has posted a line of .352/.449/.603. He also has 10 home runs and 46 RBI in just 179 at-bats. The 22-year-old should be given a legitimate shot at making the Orioles during spring training next year.

Madison Bumgarner with another stellar outing... 5IP - 3H - 1ER - 1BB - 9K

Last six starts... 39.1IP - 26H - 1ER - 3BB - 54K I think its time to move on up to A+ or AA

Buster Posey is 5 games into his professional career and already has 3 doubles, 1 triple and 1 homerun. And has hit safely in each game.

Justin Smoak is 9 games into his career and has a couple home runs already. He has yet to have a multi hit game but has only 1 game where he hasn't gotten a hit.

Eric Hosmer is only 3 games in but seems to be getting off on the right foot so far. A hit in each game, a couple of doubles and 3BB to 2Ks.

Brett Wallace already has 8 games in AA ball and holding his own just fine .387/457/.806

I just saw that this morning. I'm a little suprised he is up. I'll be looking to grab him in my deeper leagues if they plan on keeping him up....anyone know what the plans are for him?
