I might be the wrong person to ask.

I was talking about what Wildcard was talking about. If he is convinced that the playing the rookie would somehow negatively impact the O's chances to win then you have to make a choice.

You can't prioritize both.

Do you think the O's should prioritize winning now over player development?

Second round is best of five.

I would hope they could leap the hurdle of top 10. Who might they promote from the current group? Mountcastle...maybe? Do you think this team can maintain success at the major league level with the a farm system that averages tenth best? I've said before this team has a narrow thin margin for error. I don't think tenth best gets it done in this division.

I thought that was 2019?

Nope, they did however have a whole bunch of guys traded by the prior group, which is stock Elias does get to work with. My main gripe is I think progress should be faster than it is. The current ranking is pretty much based on him having eight first round draft picks still eligible.

Cano, with his contract, was not a great chip. Did the Mariners pick 1-1 and 1-2?

Nov 2018.

1- That it doesn't have to take 4+ years to build a farm system 2- That the O's rather pedestrian raise in the rankings isn't that impressive. Yes I know rankings are not the be all end all but I've not been that impressed with the progress I've seen given the draft position, trades for prospects and the advertised strengths of our GM.

It isn't binding.

Still got Davis.

Down seven? ?

Might want to check Letgo.

Ostensibly motionless, the hare was trembling with excitement.

I'd always go for it. Wouldn't even have a placekicker on the roster.

Or Davis, I'm fine if Davis pitches after Hess and Akin.

I'm not saying you are incorrect. I will say that it's got to be a lot harder to manage a bullpen when you flatly refuse to use two members of it.

I'm not talking about myself. I just think the other fellow might be jealous of those locks.

I'm not sure team chemistry can survive his hair.

If it was me in the bullpen I'd be more bothered about never getting in a game.

They let Bundy throw it when he got to the majors. Didn't Hunter have a trash one?

Right, which shows a lack of confidence.
