An egregious Steamer projection is Jackson Holliday getting 489 PAs. No way since (1) he has only 91 PAs at AAA (.796 OPS) and 164 at AA and (2) the Orioles don’t need to rush him with Gunnar, Westburg, Mateo and Ramon Urias on the Orioles INF with Connor Norby and Coby Mayo fully seasoned at the high minors. Plus why start his season, and service time, early?
