No, just to make sure he can get to balls. I'm not worried about fielding errors, I just hope that he's got the range to be able to get to balls so he can stick at SS. Throwing errors can be fixed.
Keith Olbermann’s mom might disagree.

The curve ball was a real weapon for him last night.

What's the longest stretch of baseball he has played w/o being on IL?
-
He's a big boy and has a thick lower half. He drops and drives and looks like he has a tough time getting over top his lower half and falls off the the left side. Looks like a compact and efficient motion nonetheless, just might be a body type thing. One thing I'd be nervous about is telegraphing his pitches. Looks like he might have a tendency to tip pitches to advanced hitters.
-
He looks like a man amongst boys down there, just in the way he carries himself. Game moves slower for him. I was super impressed when he kicked it into high gear on Friday to turn a single into a double. Shows immense baseball IQ and a pretty darn strong run tool.
-
Swing looks like Bryce Harper from the right side.
-
Took second base in LFers face for a double (laser off 3b glove). Advances to third on ball in dirt that got away from C. He has a thick lower half, very muscular. Pretty quick and athletic for a big dude. He can move.

Just got my first eyes on Adley. ABs are so professional. Fouled off half dozen pitches and gets sac fly. Cool as a cucumber. First defender out on field. Met knew pitcher on mound before inning. I’m impressed

It's like I want to like Wynns, but he can't hit, can't run the bases, and isn't a spectacular catcher. Why do I want to like Wynns?

This is my first look at an exact HIGH SCHOOL using B-Ref's always awesome tools. I see they had three of the Top 50 guys in 2019's draft, who I guess would have been seniors when Green was a freshman (if he's been there since 9th grade), and this past year I guess he played alongside James Wood that the Padres put $2.6M on.
That's a crazy tool, for sure! And those are a lot of draft picks in the last 15 years.
Here is a list of some notable alumni

I hope Grayson starts 30 games next year and about 25 of them are in the Show, but it isn't inconceivable with a ball adjustment snag or an injury, he ends 2022 under 50 MLB innings. Kjerstad 2022 will be like Mancini 2021 - playing at all will be its own success.
A next offseason list still with both high school pitchers, Kjerstad returned, Cowser developed and Green backfilling Rutschman I suppose isn't impossible.
I hear ya. I prefaced the Kjerstad statement with an 'if', it's a huge question mark, but a lottery ticket that will be fun to watch play out. I'm hoping for best case scenario that he's fully healthy and productive so it'll be like adding another first rounder to the system. I'm assuming GRod is up next season killing his prospect status. But with a productive Kjerstad, 1.1 coming in, Latin influence, and players from last two years drafts having success it seems the system could be in better shape next year than it is this year. (this is a pipe dream scenario - the orioles give me nothing else to work with)

We still have to outkick Arizona, etc., but I do grant a silver lining in the Adley year was the entertainment value of navel gazing on everyone and not having to worry if the Tigers would take Torkelson, Martin, etc. Though I suppose once Kjerstad became targeted Elias really didn't have to sweat that one out.
But if we get there, I am curious to learn more about IMG Academy. I do like the simple truth in labeling in the institution's name.
Will Elijah Green's 12th grade year be something like any top NCAA quarterback's redshirt senior year? He's met his course requirements and is taking Ballroom Dancing this academic year, and that's it, and all that good stuff. Plenty of time to practice that there pitch discernment, swing decisions, etc. He should at least peruse Cowser's quotes, emulate some of his practices, etc. if he wants to be 1-1!
A colleague of mine's son is moving down to FL so his son can do his senior year at IMG. If you have the means and the talent, it's probably the best "high school" to use as a platform to show off your skills. Kids from all over the country move to Bradenton, Fl to play all the various sports they offer. We run into them in Basketball every year. While our team is a perennial top 10 in the nation team, IMG is is a class above. Same in all sports. Not really a high school, it's a sports academy where talented kids go to learn how to become professionals at an early age.

Agree completely. If Hall comes out heathy and firing, the one guy makes the whole system seem deeper and more dangerous.
If Kjerstad comes back healthy and makes a major impact, it will dramatically impact/improve the system. It'll be like adding two 1st Round draft picks to next years mid-year prospect rankings.

Mountcastle’s OPS is up to .803 after last night. Been climbing steadily for a while now. Good news.

Really nice to see Henderson crush a PULL homer.
I was thinking the same thing. Before watching video I was thinking it was going out to LF. Crushed that ball. Pretty swing. Wonder if he got a little homer happy after that ball through off his swing a bit.

Welcome to the big leagues, Knight! Here’s your 18.00 ERA.
That deserves a log roll.

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.
Or a trade chip reveals itself. Can't have too much talent.

Seriously. They check the hat and inside of the belt. Let's start gettin' creative.

I like the idea of Turner next year as the initial big splash a la Jason Werth 2011. I know it will never happen, but would be amazing. East Coast guy, complete stud, gamechanger, and stick it to the Nat's. Turner would bring back some former O's fans.

While Harvey is on the mound, yes. It's the bullpen I'm worried about. I hope Hyde doesn't choose tonight to debut his new RHPs.
I mean, even for a backflip?

21 innings and counting. Crazy

I'd really like to see two decent SP's signed to help usher in the young guys. Something like a Heaney & Stroman. Robbie Ray would be a dream.
*2 year deal max, ideally 1 year with more AAV.

Who lead the team in Eddie's rookie year? Singleton?
Singleton & May had 99. Eddie had 88.

Ryan is now at .3 RWAR. Considering he was at -1 RWAR not too long ago, that's an impressive turnaround.
Dude still needs to get on base more before I get particularly excited about him.
He had 7 walks in first 57 games for a 3.6%. He's had 16 in the last 42 games for a 9.3%
He walked 101 times in 2217 plate appearances in minors or a 4.5%
I don't' think he's *figured it out, but there is room for optimism.
