Ok no worries. I want MC at first and I’d actually prefer Stewart in Seattle or another elsewhere. But as long as he’s here I want him in the OF over Mountcastle.
I don't want DJ anywhere on the field for the Orioles. When they drafted him, I said to myself, "Oh great -- another DH." I had no idea how right I was at the time. But that is the exact extent of his value.
True, I would prefer Santander defensively to MC.

That didn't copy well.

There’s not a lot of data, but based on available stats, Mountcastle is minus 5 OAA in Left field. DJis minus 1. DJ is minus 2 in Right so like I Said, he’s Not the Second Coming, but he’s superior to MC.
Mountcastle is plus 1 OAA at first, BTW, so why not just leave him there?
One word: bullshit. Stewart is Jeff Stone bad.

I just think that is SOOOO cool. At one time, early 1900s, that was the tallest brick structure in the world!
Wow.
Would love to see a photo of it with the original blue bottle atop it.

I've always thought I'd make a good photographer. Even just with my phone I have "framing" abilities.
Always appreciated your love of the Bromo Tower.

DJ got hit in the head trying to catch a ball a couple years ago. I knew that day he was not a real big leaguer and he has done nothing to change my mind to date.
If that were his only embarrassing, bumbling attempt, things would be different. But it is one of many that create a discernible pattern.

Nice job by Wynns, but it won’t be enough. I’m not trying to troll, but Tampa’s bullpen is just too good in my opinion.
It's baseball. The unlikely happens with regularity.

Don’t misunderstand, I’m not in love with DJ, but I think he’s shown enough that he is at least a passable outfielder, and Ryan Mountcastle is a wonderful first baseman and designated hitter.
If we trade Santander I expect Stewart to take over RF. Not because he’s the best but because he’s ok, and he hits better than McKenna.
One is a lifelong outfielder who trips over his own feet. Passable? -0.6 dWAR in part-time play so far this season...
One is a rookie who has never in his life played outfield.
Both suck, currently. One might improve. The other has no hope of improving.

OOO! 2 PRETTY "blonds" behind the RH batter! Front row.
You would have enjoyed the job of "Photographer" for a local news affiliate's sports department. They spent more time taking upskirt videos of women in the crowd than of the game action they were recording for the newscast's sports highlights.

No he’s definitely worse than DJ, as we just saw.
because he didn't bellyflop like DJ might have?
One play is not proof.

Why would anyone bother with "squeezing" Mullins out of the All-Star game?
Who would do the squeezing?

I think Cedric is going to get squeezed out of the All-Star Game. I think Trey is a lock.
Fans like a feel-good story.

I'm talking about the 2021 draft.
If I was talking about Kjerstad I would have said seven slots lower.
Well, if you are saying their 2021 pick will only be five slots lower than who they think is BPA down from seven last year, then I guess you think they are moving in the right direction. :-).

This is the most Baltimore post I've ever seen.
All it is missing is the flag.
Are you referring to this flag?

Just going by what I read.
No doubt your BPA might not end up the BPA.
1. I, as well.
2. Ain't that the truth.

I'm not saying that a clear pecking order exists. But teams do have draft boards that take into account the things you mentioned. I want them to pick the guy that is the highest on their board when the pick comes up, not someone five slots lower so they can pick a guy they have ranked 170 with the 200th pick.
That's assuming Kjerstad was ranked the same on the Orioles' board as he was on Baseball Prospectus' board. We don't know whether he was #9 or #1.

Word is the Rays had Posey as #1 on their board and didn't pick him due to concerns about money.
I have read that they were split on who the BPA was between Beckham and Posey. And that there were some in Tampa who thought Matusz was BPA.

And that is how you don't pick Posey because you have Wieters.
Or, you pick the BPA and he turns into Tim Beckham.

Is Stewart in the doghouse? He’s a better outfielder than Mountcastle
I know you haven't been watching but Rays have a lefty starting...

MountC is a better hitter, even if DJ is hot. Ryan is hotter.
Yeah and he's certainly not worse in the field than dj

Franco is killing us with his subpar defense.
Can't blame him for not handling the tapper he had to try to barehand in hopes of making a forceout.

So I’ve been away, and I sign in just in time to see a guy hit a single to Ryan Mountcastle and my immediate reaction is “WTF is he doing in the OF?”
Now I didn’t see the single But my other immediate thought is that a real leftfielder would’ve had it.
Only if he had been positioned near third base.

This is what I was thinking. Don't exacerbate it, especially on the turf.
