Ray Rice isn’t, and I think the biggest difference is the video. We don’t have as many details about Chapman, Osuna, and Ozuna. I think the extremely graphic nature of the accusations combined with Bauer’s history of anti-social behavior will effectively end his career.

I don’t think any team will touch him. His career is over.

I don’t know anything about what led up to this so out of context it does look dirty albeit badass.

This life ain’t good enough

Smooth

Also true. I certainly wouldn’t disagree with him being on a list or two, and perhaps with the growing reputation of our system amongst the industry, he’ll get on one.

I raised that question about a month ago and I think the answer could be he’ll be a similar status as Gunnar was heading into this season. Honorable mention and if he performs he’ll crack some.

Indeed. And his hands look extremely quick and direct to the ball, too. I’ll often find myself watching his homerun clips several times in a row. There’s something mesmerizing about a swing like that.

It looks that way to me too. He’s got a very impressive swing.

Would be cool if we still had Nestor Cortes.

*Would be cool

Would I be cool if he becomes a star and Baltimore is the city of Lamars.

Here’s hoping! Would be awesome for Heston if he can make a full comeback and play the game he loves again. I look forward to hopefully following his journey on the field next season.

As much as I love Cedric, I’d also be very open to trading him. Both of these packages would be impossible for us to pass up on. I don’t think we’d get quite that much for Mullins until he proves this is closer to the new normal for him. If he’s doing this the first two months of next season then these packages become more realistic IMO.

I get that feeling about Jones too.

Not the stress on the arm I’m talking about, more the repeatability of the delivery. That’s the first video I’ve seen and didn’t know he had an unorthodox delivery. He is more compact, so that may make it easier to repeat. Either way, I’m excited about him and for him.

Agree his mechanics look less than ideal, but I’ll certainly take the results! It’s a long ways out, but to me, with these mechanics, he looks more like a reliever.

You and me both Re: Veen.

I wonder if he’d win ROY if he were in a playoff team. He’s a bit streaky sure, but he’s the best hitter on our team as a rookie, and that’s pretty cool. Definitely looks like we’ve found our 1B for the next five or six years.

This.

See I think he may have a higher power ceiling than Adley. But yea, I guess mid season next year, if he keeps showing like this, would be the earliest he’d crack any lists.

Can the case be made that he currently has the highest offensive ceiling in the system? I think he’ll be on at least one top 100 list next spring.

Means.

Certainly seems like it this year but could simply be these guys you mentioned in your OP just aren’t very good and that is being exposed. Although Kremer did have some success last year with the big club… I’ll wait until we see what Grayson and (hopefully) Hall do in AAA and their first taste of the majors.

The AAA pitching struggles are extremely disheartening.
