    As a one dimensional player whose one dimension is not great, I don't get Mountcastle at #2.  The bat isn't "special" and the plate discipline is abysmal.  Give me Hays and Diaz before Mountcastle.  Mountcastle has an .850 OPS in increased offensive atmosphere in AAA this year.  As a 1B whose aggressiveness will be exploited in the majors I say "big deal".  

    Mountcastle is 22 and everybody in the organization agrees that he has the best bat in the organization.

     

    he is in every list at the top.

    4 is pretty good for any team as the expected average given even distribution would be 3.33. Adley should make it on the list without bumping Diaz completely. 5 would be very good. 

    Who else do we have that has ever been on the list?

    Hays

    Harvey

    Bundy and Nunez long ago...

    Just thinking out loud.

    I saw Dietz pitch today and it was as bad as the numbers indicate.  Warming up in the bullpen he airmailed the catcher several times, causing the ball to ricochet off the outfield wall and onto the field of play.  It was Nook Laloosh-esque but with poor stuff.  The velocity was non-existent.  He sat 92-93 and t94 (both on the stadium gun and multiple scouts' guns, so it's accurate). He occasionally mixed in a fluttering 84-85 breaking pitch that I think was supposed to be a slider, but it didn't really move and was up in the zone every time he threw it. Obviously, control/command was awful.

    He needs to go down to extended spring for a complete overhaul, they need to get him out of A+ ball.  It was difficult to watch. 

    Sounds like the perfect Orioles pitcher.

     

    Bring him up and throw him in there!

    ZACK Britton damaged his own Achilles. Gausman has been awful.

    They did not even get anything.

    So you’re saying that everybody sucks and no one should trade with the Orioles.

     

    Whether you are saying it or not, I truly believe that other MLB teams are going to be VERY Leary of trading for “Oriole Players” at this point.

     

    Fool me once...

    Cortes is DFA'd, Ramirez brought up

    But, Cortes supplied a legal delivery.

    Unlike Carter Capps, who jumped off the rubber and illegally re-planted his drive foot prior to release. How was he ever allowed to get away with that blatantly illegal delivery?

    Not understanding...are you saying these deliveries are illegal and shouldn’t be allowed?
