He has been MUCH MUCH better than anything I could have possibly thought. Let’s hope he keeps healthy and eating those innings. $7m was a lot though lol

Yes!!!!! God bless him! A great man and role model. One of the best ever!

https://www.mlb.com/news/mlb-mock-draft-2022-jackson-holliday-druw-jones Jones is the pick barring something significant. Maybe if the Orioles get sold we can get Rizzo from the Nationals, he’s a wizard. Contract up after this year. I’d pay him top dollar to come here, but no way that happens under Scrooge McDuck.

Not a nugget.

Great outing last night! My guess is he is recalled soon with Adley.

Thank you Frobby! Seriously. Many trust your opinion and this is absolutely correct!

Both were ranked prospects I believe too. Your farm system is only as good as your successes and we seem to be missing those. That’s why many teams trade the players they evaluate lower than other teams so their value doesn’t go to zero.

Amen. I hope they don’t DFA Gillaspie, but knowing Elias he might. They protected him last off-season so that he a dumb thing to try.

Shane Greene cut, doubt he makes it to the AL.https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/05/dodgers-designate-shane-greene-for-assignment.html

Might be my favorite of all time. Close.

Can’t get much better than a 0.00 ERA.

Amen.

I disliked Elias draft approach 2 years ago. I strongly disliked him not taking Lawlar last year. I was irritated that he largely sat on his hands last off-season and made little attempt to improve the team with some cheap stopgaps. but where he lost me was signing Harvey knowing this. The cult of Elias is nuts. Thank god Tony at least this board to reality at times, I wish he would post more. Knowing folks with addictions, there is no excuse for his signing and reflects VERY poorly on Elias. Makes me angry AF!

Man, you are on fire tonight!

nope

Seriously, why do people even bother with this franchise? Talk about a punch to the gut. Wow.

Orioles are never going to sign free agents because the Nationals? What a depressing thread.

Love this: Mike: Yes, I do. The way the Rule 5 Draft is set up we can't keep all these guys. I can see a time when we package two or three of these prospects for a starting pitcher. Strongly dislike draft comments, take Jones.

Thank you. Agree completely.

Part of….

Love it! The K rate def needs to improve.

Will they recall him batting .194?

He has never been a GM before, our ownership may be changing to boot. Not sure how you know his thought process so well. Regardless, he’s had zero history of turning a perennial loser into a winner. If you don’t think that’s hard, I offer Buck as a example of one of the greats in doing just that. What track record does Elias have?

Thank you kindly. Could have used his bat sadly. Diaz too of course.

Hall can really bring the heat but I am not convinced he is a starter. Looks to be a textbook closer to me. Our SP isn’t as deep as people think imo.
