Right - but why knock him for a standard that no one reaches.

No one catches everyday

I will take this bet.

I mean I will say, ownership has been better since John took over…

I happened to see the homer. He also appeared to just get under it, it was a high inside fastball. Awkward swing on it, and it just carried.

I get annoyed at how backwards this is. MLB actively making it harder to receive their product.

The classic baseball player golf swing. Very steep, tons of speed and athleticism to square it up. Lot of slices in his future.

“I sat there with my wife and said, ‘Babe, we’re going back. We’re going back to D.C.,’” Harper said. “If they offer me anything close—I want real money though. I don’t want deferred money. I wanted them to understand that. If they would’ve deferred a little bit of it, I would’ve been fine with that.”

They outspent the Dodgers in ‘19.

I pin their problems less on draft misses and more on their unwillingness to spend like the dodgers. Their lineup should have a core of Turner, Soto, Harper, Rendon.

Who cares. They also signed Soto who is on an early HoF track.

Horrible timing for it too…

“He may not be a guy that plays more than 100 games a year, best-case scenario,” Moore said at the time. The GM emphasized that the Royals “love Mondi to death” and have no plans to move on from him but simply “can’t, obviously, count on him as an everyday player.”

Or that he can hit…

I haven’t watched many games this year, what happened to Fry?

Jim Bowden ranked his top 50 prospects on the Athletic, O’s had two.

Fair point. This whole exercise is subjective, but I feel like our list of top guys isn’t as impressive as the Braves/Dodgers/Padres from recent years.

1 seems high. I see two potential all stars and then….

Because those level of guys, who are still that far away don’t/shouldn’t stop you from filling a gaping hole on your ML team. Not only that but one literally can’t have enough SS types. Look around at actual contenders… Seager and Turner, Tatis and Machado, Lindor and Baez.

Right- moved him at his absolute lowest point of value. Having said that, it was still too little

Can’t believe we got so little for Britton

Whatever it takes to force Elias not to overthink the slot bonus game next year.
