Honestly, I've been waiting what feels like forever for the O's to throw "athleticism" and "toolsiness" out the window and just draft some guys who mash. So with that in mind, I love basically all the day 1/2 picks. I also think I like Hughes more than others. Cleavinger I'm not as big on as most here, I'd guess. Factoring in where they were taken, I think Seamus Curran might be my favorite.

I like Heinrich.

Least favorite would probably be Flaa but I undertatand why we took him where we did.

Those are two good picks. I like the Heinrich pick a lot too, but I will go with Gray Fenter for my favorite.

Honestly, I don't have too many picks that I don't like, so I have to go with Flaa as well. However, like you say, I understand why that pick was made.

Cody Morris is an intriguing pick in the 32nd, but I can't imagine he will sign, given his surgery.

Didn't like Hughes in the 2nd. Liked each HS bat in the first 10 rounds. Best of that bunch considering round. Seamus Curran in 8th.

Good post. I like Hughes, but it just feels like he was drafted a little early. I am really happy with the high school bats too. We will see what happens, but there is a lot of potential there.

Weams! Really? You couldn't pick a top 10 pick that maybe wasn't to your liking? Your biggest problem is with a 32nd round pick? It would be funny if you meant this as a joke.

There was a bit of tongue in that cheek. But I feel that it is a lot like the Ryan Ripken pick a few years back.

First - I like the strategy of going after HS bats that have power potential. As long as they did the work on scouting and researching the players, I'm a fan of this draft as a whole.

Favorite - Heinrich just over Curran.

Least favorite - Graham (just for the possible nepotism - I hope he does great.)

Everyone is entitled to their opinion of course, but anyone saying they really know or can predict how virtually ANY of these draft picks will do is laughable.First round picks have bombed plenty of times.Mike Piazza was drafted in the 62nd round. Keith Hernandez was a 42nd round pick.No one knows, not even the scouts.So many things can happen or not happen.Its a totally mysterious process. Even the NFL is somewhat more predictable.

I would say the NFL draft is much more predictable.

I would agree. There is no minor leagues in the NFL, so you go straight to the big team. And given that the average NFL career is 5 years, it wouldn't take much to last that stretch of time just bouncing around 2 or 3 teams

The NBA draft is only 2 rounds and half of their picks stay in their home country or are drafted with the idea of going straight to the D League to work on their game more.

I can't speak to the NHL since I don't follow the game

      Starting point has changed.  Given the fact he has approx 1/7th of his season in the books at 1.139, to OPS just .780 for the season, he'd have to drop off to under .730 the rest of the way.  That sort of drop off wouldn't be acceptable to me. I'd like him to OPS .800 the rest of the way for roughly .850 for the season.  The more they use him in a platoon role, the better I think that number might be.

      Time Gunnar's triple

      Can I ask how you timed it vs the DVR?  Did you use a stopwatch or count click with pause/FF, or something else?

      Who is "selling" this year?

      By Philip · Posted

      I can’t fathom why anyone would want a Tanner Scott return. In 10 innings, he is 0-4 with a 1.78 whip. He was maddening before, and now he’s older. But I wonder if the Red Sox would part with Justin Slaten? He’s been pretty outstanding. Yeah, only 8 innings, but we hired Yohan Ramirez, and he’s been a catastrophe in 10. Yes, I know he’s a rule 5, and the Bosox are in the East. And their pitching is pretty thin, too. But they know they aren’t going anywhere in this division, and they might think getting a good return for a Free Rule 5 guy might be worthwhile.

      This draft unfolded weirdly.  First with the *nix guys getting taken early and then how no defensive players got taken all draft, and then a bunch of teams reaching for OTs.  I'm pretty happy with how the draft unfolded because I think we got a player that I expected to be gone by the teens or early 20s.  I don't know what we're doing with our OL but hopefully we can maybe trade up from 62 to pick someone up.

      My guess is more of a safety profile than they preferred. They clearly wanted Wiggins. They ran that pick up fast. And then when you listen to the press conference, the love for the player was obvious.
