Youtube video of Hanser. It's pretty good, you should watch it.

I'd expect some slot savings if he is the pick.

I was pointing out that Dan did make an attempt to bring in a high OBP guy that had some statistical similarities to Martin. I was also making the point that college stats are not necessarily that meaningful. I don't expect any college players K rate to transfer to the majors for instance.

From what I read the main thing is his K rate wasn't what folks were hoping for early in the season. It started to improve the last couple of starts but the damage had been dealt.

Maybe a couple feet under. ?

Fun fact: DJ Stewart had more walks (147) than strikeouts (117) in his college career. His Junior year he had a .500 OBP.

From what I've been reading left field is a possibility, and not just in a Mancini capacity.

I'm still not quite there.

One of us doesn't qualify for an AARP card Rick.

Tell that to Ernie Lombardi's ghost.

We don't know that. Even if we were we were also the only* team that thought Givens was a position player. So it evens out.

Yes we didn't get Trout. But overall they have had some picks that have really panned out (just not always for the O's). Yes I'm still salty about the Norris trade.

He went 7th and signed an under slot deal.

Mancini was an 8th round pick and is up over 6 WAR. Markakis was the best player in his draft class.

Markakis was a steal. Mancini was a steal. Hader was a steal. Arrieta was a steal. I think Hancock is going to go around #4-6.

I think Hancock might end up being the steal of the draft.

But if he hadn't been on the team they only would have averaged 10.6 R/G.

I think it is clear that ownership thinks 50 games is better for them and that comes down to money.

Since it's prorated the owners want to scale back to 50 for half a season.

Yea, I totes don't acknowledge the 2001 World Series.

Less chance of sub-zero temperature.

I don't always pay as much attention to who is posting as I should.

Whatever. How can anyone root for either side when both are trying to take advantage of a pandemic for long term gain?

I'm rooting against both sides.
