This was clearly a draft where Jordan was looking to experiment with signing someone for cheap at the top and then using the money later to take flyers on guys. The only problem is that Jordan's tenure showed he wasn't very good at drafting beyond the first round.

The result has been an unmitigated disaster.

If only Tyler Naquin had signed.

Also Randy Henry is doing pretty well... in Texas' minor league system.

Sad to see Hoppy and Cowan go, both were really nice, pleasant guys when I got to talk to them last year at Aberdeen. Cowan particularly was really easy to talk to. Never got his stuff back after the labrum injury, unfortunately. Hoppy just never hit.

Tim Berry looks to be the only guy that could turn into something out of that class. Townsend was a nice pick, if he could stay healthy...

Did you mean Ryan Berry?

I have a faint, smudgy, glimmer of hope about Justin Dalles, and, to an even lesser extent, Ty Kelly.

      Westburg shouldn’t be, where are you seeing that?

      So since Westburg is apparently still ROY eligible, Cowser and Westburg may project to be the best rookie combination since Fred Lynn and Jim Rice in 1975?

      John Means 2024

      By Safelykept · Posted

      There were several and I was one them. I'm  on record as saying I was one of his biggest Apologists . You should feel good about yourself as you were able to see that Means would be imploding before our very eyes( which was an opinion or a guess, which is what I did) as far as feeling bad for me? Dont I'm plenty good enough to know I wont be able to guess right every time

      Orioles acquire Ryan O’Hearn

      Fantastic pickup by Elias and big kudos to O’Hearn for taking advantage of the resources to improve. He’s a great story.

      Given his injury history and what’s happening right now, Means may make more money as an Oriole next year than as a free agent. He may have to settle for league minimum as a FA but would do better than that in arbitration. Heck, unless he’s effective at least a little this year then the orioles might release him after the season to avoid paying more than league minimum. I hope Means recovers, very much so, but this scenario is possible imo.    ps. I guess I ignored the part where you said if Means thinks he is healthy.

      Jackson Holliday 2024

      By Billy F-Face3 · Posted

      What I'd like to see in the next game Holliday plays, is for him to keep his eyes following through on the ball when he swings. In the last game I saw, he was yanking his head off the zone when he swung and couldn't see the bat to the ball. He was missing wildly and it wasn't even competitive. So, keep your eye on the ball! Follow all the way through! If your swing is so violent that it's yanking your head off the sight of the ball, then adjust your mechanics because you can't hit what you can't see!

      What a great example of pedantic! Please tell us you meant to do that. I honestly can’t tell these days.
