The Rule 5 draft will be held on Dec. 10 before executives and reporters make a mad dash to the Nashville airport. The Orioles aren't casual observers of the process. They don't just dip a toe in the waters. They dive in and swim laps.

No, but he has to be on the roster per his contract. That may as well be a Rule V. Though I never said he was to begin with. They don't have the flexibility to carry a Rule V. Unless they don't intend to compete.

Same as Adam, Chris, And J.J. We have lots of roster flexibility this year. Lots.

Now you are saying something else. Before you said they shouldnt select someone. That is different from saying they shouldnt carry someone. No harm in selecting someone.

You just named three guys the O's are counting on. How much flexibility to carry a pitcher that basically has done zero in the majors. Choosing a rule V guy that most likely has done zero in the majors. If we have the flexibility to carry that come ST, it was a bad winter and there will be some angry fans.

      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.
