Some posters care a great deal about defense.

That's what happens when you can't get out of AA.

Operational security didn't seem to be a priority.

I hope they get him a designated driver.

He's adequate now. He didn't hurt the team while he was out there.

It's all about the Benjamins.

Sure, but as an issue of game theory I think the idea has merit.

Doesn't seem to be anything that could have stopped the Braves from just forfeiting the game after the first. I find the idea interesting from a game theory perspective. http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/downloads/y2007/04_starting_and_ending_game.pdf

I don't think more time in the minors is going to change who he is.

I would hope that this maneuvering is to enable the team to get as much talent together for as long as possible which at some point will mean aggressive promotions.

A long way away? Didn't one of the talking heads say his bat was ml ready now?

Sounds expensive. ?

His father's name is Allen. AJ is probably for Allen Junior.

I would have gone Kjerstad and Hall if it had been an option.

You can give up 20 runs and win but if you never score you're eventually going to lose.

I'm a Mountcastle fan but between the defense and plate discipline I don't think you can rank him #2. As far as Kjerstad, if you agree with what we were told about him than as a college position player I would rank him over a pitcher that hasn't pitched in advanced A ball yet. I'm personally not that bullish on Kjerstad.

The question is, does Tony agree that Kjerstad was the second best player in the 2020 draft? If he does, than you go Kjerstad, if you don't, it's Rodriguez who has separated himself from Hall. Mountcastle is too flawed and Henderson hasn't accomplished enough.

Exactly, in pencil, not ink.

If you think Mancini could be the best offensive player on the Orioles next year you protect him. Did you not read what I wrote? What you do depends on his health. Mancini isn't so important that you pay him arbitration money to sit on the 60 day IL for the 2021 season.

If he can't physically play you don't tender him a contract. You non tender him and work out some sort of arrangement after the Rule V draft. If he can't play it makes no sense to possibly lose a player in the Rule V.

Hey it's a sign of progress that they might not protect someone that another team would want.

I don't see how Mancini is a lock. Not unless you know something about his health that I don't.

Are the Ravens at home this week?

While the pop time was average a lot of the throws were poorly located.
