Yes, really. He's been age appropriate for his level, which means old for a prospect and his K rate is a huge issue. If you are 21, in A ball, you can't be striking out 125 times in 80 games.

Sisco and Mountcastle both made top 100 lists. https://www.mlb.com/news/chance-sisco-named-on-top-100-prospects-list-c214551404 https://birdswatcher.com/2019/07/02/baltimore-orioles-where-orioles-prospects-rank-in-updated-baseball-america-top-100/

RBI HBP for Mullins.

O's have one in on a Severino triple and a Mountcastle single.

The uptick in velocity had me encouraged that he could continue his success but it hasn't looked good this season and he's had enough time to be showing something.

Conine is more than just not a great prospect, he isn't a good prospect. He's a long shot lottery ticket with a huge red flag attached. No one should be upset that Conine isn't in their team's farm system.

First off no one is saying that. Secondly the man keeps getting traded for light at best returns. That tells us that the teams controlling him don't value in highly and neither does the market as a whole.

I don't understand the relevance of your comment. Someone that was projected to go ~1-10 going 1-2, to me, counts as a head scratcher. Even if it pans out. The person I was replying to suggested that Elias won't have any "head scratchers". I will also add that Pete Alonso has put up -.5 rWAR this season.

Or that might be something you'd really like to see.

You don't think picking Kjerstad 1-2 qualifies as a head scratcher?

Folks look at the shift and see all that space and think a bunt is automatic. He still needs to get it past the pitcher and catcher, as well as keep it fair. That isn't automatic when you are as slow as Davis.

They've already had the negotiations. They have either already agreed to a player or have a list of candidates.

The teams negotiate.

Givens was drafted in 2009 and he isn't a free agent until 2022. That's how it can go for HS guys.

Tied game.

Cano? You need to let in better PED users before you let him in.

Jurado is struggling so Mullins gives him an out? I don't get it.

That's why you don't call a kid that makes it to the majors a bust or a wasted pick.

He's not a wasted pick.

It's better sure. Still might not be enough.

Of course it might end up being 70 a year.

He's a super 2.

Who's the backup CF?

You might not be but the other GMs are. No one is going to trade for a guy with a 3.6 ERA if he's got a 5.5 FIP and bad K rate.
