I feel CLE and BAL have 83.5 win potential, and BOS does not.
Though you can never predict baseball.
Fair enough, the way I read it I thought it was personal preference! I just worked 15 hours straight so I apologize.

If he thinks Cleveland presents more of a threat to stay ahead of us for the wild card than Boston?
We have to pass both of them and one other team to get a wild card.
Meh, I'd still be debating it at that point lol

I was glad they beat Cleveland last night, and am tactically rooting for them this series.
Story sounds chomping at the bit to get back.
Why would you ever be rooting for Boston, especially against a non-division team??

I'd like to punch Raley right in the face

Well, I don’t know about the playoffs, but those who bet the over on the Orioles’ pre-season win line are in pretty good shape.

Holliday is also rep'd by Boras.
So I'll take that as a no then hahaha
-
I know this probably had zero bearing on the pick but I can't help but think of the fact that Jones is a Boras client and everything that is going on with Soto.
Is it possible that future monetary commitments could have influenced the pick instead of the slot/bonus right now?
For what it's worth I really like Holliday and am stoked that it was him or Jones.

I think Druw Jones is the best player and that's who they will take. Elias said this is a good year to be picking #1 and he's said he likes taking HS players because of the upside. I think part of the reason for getting the extra comp pick was to create more money for an overslot pick with the anticipation that Jones would command close to full slot at 1:1. Just a theory!
I like it!
-
I put Holliday as who I think they'll take, but they always talk about how much they love their hitting development team, so I could see Green being picked too.
-
Who do you want them to draft 1/1?
Curious to see the difference in who as a community we want vs who we think they will take.
-
Not who you want, but who you think they will take in the end
-
In exactly 96 hours we'll be on the clock for pick #1! Let's GOOOOOOOOOO!!

…and I will be out to dinner, having foolishly scheduled something with my family several weeks ago without realizing the timing of the draft. I should just be polishing off a cocktail and getting my entree around the time the O’s make their pick.
Maybe it’s better that way. Once I’m home I can amuse myself scrolling though all the comments by people who think they are experts on the topic. I wonder if I can resist the temptation to check my phone for news of the pick while I’m having dinner with 7 other people, none of whom know who the hell Druw Jones or Termarr Johnson are.
Perhaps it'd be a good conversation starter?

Lopez dealing like he's confident again

They should pitch out. Calhoun might even swing at it

McDonald is quickly becoming Bordick.
I thought this too. Last night he said Kremer was "great".... 8 hits, 5 runs and not making it through the 5th inning constitutes as "great" apparently.

I was at the game today, perfect July weather. 3 out of the last 4 games I've attended have ended in a 7-6 score. The on-field announcer said this was the first 4th of July game in Baltimore since 2008. Is that true? I spent most of the game on the flag court, chatting with other fans. Not a fan of the extra inning ghost runner at second, but a win is a win. I'll take it!
Yes that part about 2008 is true.

What they do at the deadline and how the young guys they bring up adjust to the majors will probably tell the story.
If I had to guess, I would set the O/U at 70.5…and I think the right bet is to take the under but I do think 70-75 wins is possible.
As a gambler I'd say this is spot on. Way ahead of, I should say, the over 63½ I bet before the season started.
They are doing well, yes, but who they move and who they're replaced with (and in essence, how they do) is the key here.
If our pitchers are still doing well one would imagine some of them would be moved. How much that hurts will be determined, but after years and years of watching this team I'd say that 69 is about where I'd put them, assuming some moves are made while others aren't, and growing pains for those that replaced those on the way out.
70½ is also quite reasonable, but we still have a lot of games against the AL East, so I try not to get too hopeful.
