    My understanding is that they are going to air R1 and the supplemental as well, so we won't 'see' the 2nd>.

    With my boss and half of the office out at a conference, I'm going to be conveniently "working" from home on Thursday and Friday.

    Wow. Only one fine young man. I was hoping we could do a little better with our first 50 or so picks.

    Yeah, well one fine player every year will be more than fine with me, but then we'll get even better players in each subsequent round.

    Opinions, information, links, pictures, videos, it's all fair game in the player's draft thread.

    This will be a great way to gather all the information available about the Orioles new draft picks....

    I plan on being at the Camden Yards for the draft and will post comments from Jordan and MacPhail in these threads...

    I'll be posting a front page draft coverage notice that will point to this forum.

    Let's have fun with this. I know I'm looking forward to watching the poer of the Hangout community shine.

    So who's taking off work???
    Who actually works??? Suckers!

    Based on polls and such, here's a question that would send the Hangout into a frenetic panic!...

    What if TBeck, Alvarez and Smoak are off the board when we pick... who do we pick?

    Before the OH, I never thought I'd pay this much attention to a MLB draft (or the minors in general).

    It would come down to Matusz vs. Hosmer. I think most people recognize that GBeckham has holes in his swing and no one really wants to go near Posey.

    I dont have to leave for work until 3:30 pm tomorrow so I am excited to get to see the first 10 picks or so.

    Matusz appears to be our pick at this juncture. Every major site is saying it, however, never say never.

    Is every major site getting direct info from Jordan? I'm still not sold on taking a SP with the 1st pick when we need positional talent.

    Smoak is who we need if Alvarez isn't there at #4.
