Ok. I’m ready to tangle with you.
1. Who the Orioles eventually took or who the mock drafts had going to the Orioles doesn’t change the fact that every major draft expert that we reference on here had Druw Jones as the best player in the draft on the day of the draft.
2. Holliday had helium but no one had him ranked one. Many said if the O’s picked Holliday or Johnson that it was defendable especially if there was extra savings.
3. Because of the Orioles history there were rumors of Jacob Berry and Termarr Johnson as underslot.
4. I challenge you to find one of the major guys I listed or one of your choice who wouldn’t have taken Druw Jones if it was their choice.
5. Knowing your ability to research I eagerly await the results.
If he can stay healthy it should be fun. Last year he had a couple of hot streaks cut short by injury and then he was never the same the last time he came back.
You make fair points so I can only guess Santander’s legs are a little sore or tight and they want to give him two consecutive days off. That would make sense. Otherwise, it doesn’t make too much sense.
