His banishment ended when he was recalled to the Orioles on June 19.He had an uneven final three and a half months in the bigs, hitting .161 in June, .340 in July, .145 in August and .286 in September/October. Even with a few decent months sprinkled in there during the second half of the season, his triple slash line was never able to recover from a slow start. July was by far his best month at the plate, when he compiled a .397 on-base percentage and .472 slugging percentage to go along with a high batting average. But like the rest of the year, he was unable to hit for much power or drive in many runs, which have been weak spots for him for some time. For what it’s worth, Joseph hit better at Camden Yards in 2018 than he did on the road. But it’s all relative considering his less than desirable season-long batting line. At home, he slashed .256/.299/.364 in 41 games, while he hit .184/.211/.279 in 41 games on the road.He finished the year with a .219/.254/.321 batting line, including three home runs and 17 RBI in 265 at-bats.In 2018, Joseph threw out 20 of 60 base-stealers, good for a 33% caught stealing percentage. That was a large increase from the previous year, 2017, when he only threw out 18%. But his best CS% was still his rookie year in 2014 Matt Szczur Jersey , when he put up a 40% mark.Interestingly enough, Joseph proved to be one of the more outspoken members of the Orioles this past season. He made some noise towards the end of the season with his comments in a Baltimore Sun article, saying the following about the Orioles losing season: “It’s shameful, especially for somebody who was on a 97-win team just a few years ago. It’s ridiculous. We’ve lost so many games and it seems like losing is the new winning. It’s unacceptable.”While those comments are refreshing to hear from a player and undoubtedly true, the words may have not carried that much weight considering his performance on the team. He showed leadership and resolve, but it still may not be enough to save him a roster spot in the future.With the Orioles determined to slash payroll further as they head into the next year of their rebuild, its hard to see them keeping a catcher like Joseph at his current price or higher. Including Joseph, the Orioles currently have four catchers on their 40-man roster. The three others are Sisco, Austin Wynns and Andrew Susac, who are all younger and more affordable than Joseph. The Orioles could choose to go with a platoon again in 2019 that includes some combination of those last three names, which would leave Joseph as one of the odd men out. In that scenario, they may opt to non-tender the 32-year-old catcher this offseason. Even if the Orioles choose to keep the veteran catcher around next year, there is no guarantee he will be on the next good Orioles team in several years. Joseph has established a track record as a light-hitting catcher in the majors and he lacks the upside to be a core player on a contending team. In the next several years of the rebuild, the Orioles will hopefully find a backstop with a higher ceiling, whether that’s someone on their 40-man roster who develops into such a player, or someone they acquire through other means.

It’s hard to believe now, but Michalczewski was actually ranked as the system’s fourth-best prospect at the beginning of the 2015 season, behind only Tim Anderson, Carson Fulmer and Spencer Adams. Plenty of big things were expected of Michalczewski due to his size, strength and athleticism.However, his numbers have been meh throughout his six-year minor league career: .248/.322/.381, with a combined 50 homers, 345 RBIs, 30 stolen bases, 255 walks and 759 strikeouts over 2,547 at-bats. His career high of 11 homers came in 2017, with Winston-Salem and Birmingham; his career high of .262 happened in 2014, with Kannapolis and Winston-Salem. Michalczewski’s numbers have been consistently mediocre over the years, with little uptick after repeating seasons at various levels in the system.Michalczewski didn’t have an exceptional 2018. For the year, he hit .253/.302/.377, with six homers, 65 RBIs, four stolen bases, 27 walks (5.4%) and 131 strikeouts (26.0%). Although his size profiles at the hot corner Trevor Hoffman Jersey , Michalczewski’s bat seems to profile best at second base. It’s telling that the White Sox went outside of the organization to fill out the hot corner at Charlotte with D.J. Peterson, and continues to list Gerson Montilla higher on its depth chart, rather than promote Michalczewski. It seems that Michalczewski will need to have a career season in order to earn a sniff at the majors in the next year or two.Take a look!Courtesy of our friends at 2080 Baseball.Courtesy of our friends at MiLB.2019 South Side Sox Top 100 Prospects 66.
