  1. I second this! Thanks for keeping us all updated on the draft picks. I look forward to reading about our picks every year during and after the draft.
  2. “They lift it upon the shoulder and carry it; They set it in its place and it stands there. It does not move from its place. Though one may cry to it, it cannot answer; It cannot deliver him from his distress.“
  3. Soon to be T Rowe Price Park at Camden Yards.
  4. Ryan Prager looks interesting. Perhaps a lefty version of Bradish with the exaggerated over the top delivery but with less velocity. Maybe the O's can work with him like they did with Bradish to maximize his potential.
  5. I'm not in the "Elias is clueless" crowd, but one can reasonably advocate for a more balanced draft approach that includes more high-level pitching selections while still affording the ability to trade position player prospects for pitchers.
  6. What are the examples of using surplus assets to fill holes? Ortiz (and Hall) for Burnes Hernaiz for Irvin Prieto for Flaherty Are we really able to draw a conclusion of success from these examples? Perhaps, but I think you could make a case either way.
  7. What's working? Panick was referring to our draft strategy and our MLB pitching. The only thing we can point to in the Elias era in terms of our draft strategy and pitching success at the MLB level is trading Ortiz (plus Hall) for a year of Burnes. Lopez for Povich doesn't really align with our draft bats and trade for pitching strategy.
  8. I watched a clip of Honeycutt saying his approach to hitting fastballs is to go Center-Right field and then to pull breaking pitches. Not sure how the results align with the approach.
