5 for 6 with a pair of HRs and 7 RBI, 1 BB 1K for both ends of the double header. Looks like he is indeed heating up.

3 for 5 tonight with a double, HR (#6) and 5 RBI

Wouldn't be too unhappy to see Jackson Jobe if a pitcher is to be taken at #5

MLB.pipeline has updated their draft prospect rankings.

Eric Nadel has been at this for over 30 years. He IS and has been VERY good at it!

Rangers must be gawd awful!

Per MLB.com: Bauman, Lowther, Wells and Mattson all optioned to Norfolk today

I count 13 out of the 13 named in the article

MLB has announced the competitive balance picks for the 2021 draft. Article here

Think you are right

If I remember correctly, the Red Sox are to forfeit their first round pick in 2021 (as well as their 2020 first rounder) which leaves the O's drafting at #4 overall in the first round.

I think Alberto's days as an Oriole are numbered.

YAY!!!!!

The possible emergence of TWO starting pitchers not named D L Hall or Grayson Rodriguez leaves me feeling positively giddy over the future!

Would be nice if he were still available at # 30

Well, this will help prepare us mentally for if/when we play this summer ....

A closer look at Asa Lacy

Actually looking forward to this! Thanks Tony!

Couldn't happen to a more deserving guy ('cept mebbe Tony). Congrats!!!!!

That should be a GOOD thing ... and just might be a VERY GOOD thing!

Understood Tony, Thanks for your dedication through the years! I'll gladly sign up for a "double-plus" membership if that'll help.

Thought MLB had said 13 was the limit on pitchers for 26-man roster. Don't have a reference handy tho... Reference: https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2019/03/mlb-mlbpa-agree-single-trade-deadline-expanded-rosters.html Apparently that has yet to be finalized

Been here since 2005 and I agree - plus membership is some of the easiest money to spend, I rarely post but I've read daily (yup, DAILY) for those 13 plus years. The content (and informed opinions) are unmatched . If you want to know virtually anything about the Orioles this is THE place.

Wacky idea: Teams set a payroll, Players are paid 100% of the payroll, Players decide among themselves how to divide up said payroll, Players sign with a team but their actual salary is determined by their peers. Playoff shares are above and beyond regular season salary.
