Good point, I can’t say with any confidence he’d be a defensive asset out there. but just looking at the way he moves and his body composition, I’d say he could at the very very least be Mancini-level. Also don’t know anything about his arm.

If he’s likely only a corner OF, no way I’d consider reaching. If we want a corner OF, give me Torkelson and I’ll happily pay more for the significantly higher floor.

Hahaha yea cuz they’d lose all interest in baseball. But to the OP, no, I don’t think Mullins is a ML starter.

Yes, because I at least could have seen and enjoyed the Orioles in a World Series. Tainted or not, that would be worth it for me. If it came out that the ravens cheated in 2012, I still will always have the memory of watching and celebrating that championship.

Huge opportunity again this year to keep building that pipeline, baby. I will he following amateur ball closer than ever this year, as I think this draft is the most crucial of our rebuild.

Mike Baumann

Add Taijuan Walker to the list of reclamation project candidates as well. Though I get the feeling that these guys would only come here on a ML deal.

Especially cuz Steve doesn’t play SS and Beckham technically can.

Exactly. He does play OF. I could see him in ST for sure battling Stevie for a roster spot.

Yea I suppose he offers significantly more value as a utility guy than Stevie Wilkerson.

Elias is the architect of the rebuild, which as you well know, is far from complete. He has put many things into place (spent valuable time and money), and If he were to leave before it is finished, there is a chance that whomever succeeded him would have different priorities (for better or worse) thus setting the timeline back for the rebuild. I don’t doubt that someone else could do the job, but I worry that it would set back the timeline. Also, in all seriousness, please explain how tanking is cheating.

Short answer: no Long answer: noooooooooooooo

Scouts are very good with cameras?

I wouldn’t be at all surprised if he was involved and eventually punished. He was with the Cardinals when La Russa allegedly had a system in place, and then was taken to the Astros with Luhnow. He certainly knew what was happening. I guess all of this has been shocking so it wouldn’t even shock me anymore if it turns out ME was the mastermind behind it all

Just a bad feeling. This will keep growing.

Was thinking that as well earlier today.

Who’s gonna be our new GM? This is getting uglier and uglier by the hour.

Odubel Herrera DFA’d... Any takers?

Very possible.

In all seriousness though, I would be open to the idea of Hinch as our next manager if he doesn’t receive a lifetime ban...

...Is this rock bottom?

Sounds like a dream come true, Luke! Beyond happy for you. And what a great story about someone putting in the work and creating his own opportunity and then seeing it pay off like this. All the best on this new journey, man.

True, I guess this spring will tell us a lot

He certainly passes the eye test. Nice delivery and very athletic build. Wonder if we would consider him in the supplemental first round.

Music to my ears. That has long been my number one desire for our franchise.
