Yermin Mercedes (White Sox, former O's farmhand)
NelsonCruuuuuz replied to Tony-OH's topic in Orioles Talk
After the last few years, we all have psych/emotional problems ??? -
Yes, I know it wasn’t him but when I originally heard the news when he was drafted I meant.

NelsonCruuuuuz replied to Tony-OH's topic in Orioles Talk
From what I read, that was a clash with Tony LaRussa. -
I apologize if this has been mentioned already, but does anyone know what happened to his twin brother? Was in Twins org and when we took Wells with the rule 5, initially thought it was his brother. Seems like he is back in Australia now?

Gary Rajsich drafts
NelsonCruuuuuz replied to cnmilton's topic in O's Amateur Draft and International Signings
That’s funny Frobby, I honestly get his concern but that’s why you gotta go BPA, particularly when you do it to save money for underslots and you don’t take any…. -

Gary Rajsich drafts
NelsonCruuuuuz replied to cnmilton's topic in O's Amateur Draft and International Signings
He drafted Givens as a SS when zero other teams thought he could hit. Manny, like Adley, slam dunk. -

Question about Sat Bobblehead Game Sat
NelsonCruuuuuz replied to NelsonCruuuuuz's topic in Orioles Talk
EBay was founded in 1995, there are several listed on there already. Side note: I love the people that sit by the exit & say they will buy your Bobblehead for $5 or $10 as you walk out of the game lol. Like a whole $10?!?! Really???:) -
2022 early look top prospects
NelsonCruuuuuz replied to DocJJ's topic in O's Amateur Draft and International Signings
Nope. Elias would take the 8th best player with the first overall pick, mad genius he must be. -
Maybe his focus is on the sticky icky over quality, whatever gets you the edge, right? Like stealing signs. http://Spider Tack Competition Grade 2.5oz https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0049UJWII/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_Y9SWKP89MD2APW30TS7E?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Question about Sat Bobblehead Game Sat
NelsonCruuuuuz replied to NelsonCruuuuuz's topic in Orioles Talk
Wow! Didn’t know that! Thanks for sharing that! Good beer? -
Does anyone know how early realistically you have to get there to get a Palmer Bobblehead? Love that guy! Great player, greatest announcer, good man! I can’t miss it!

The Orioles haven’t won a world championship since 1983 and won’t again until Peter passes and sale is complete. Why fans think these farm system ratings are a victory is funny. If you notice in particular, we have very few high ceiling guys in comparison to other teams because the great Elias is scared to death to draft a pitcher in the top rounds because of past failures and insists on skipping over drafting a stud SS in Lawlar for a corner OF, but hey, I am sure you are right, the Orioles are headed for greatness, carry on.

Thorne, Bordick, Dempsey and Tom Davis amongst those let go
NelsonCruuuuuz replied to Sports Guy's topic in Orioles Talk
Yeah, the Orioles should sell high along with Mancini & Means??? -
Thorne, Bordick, Dempsey and Tom Davis amongst those let go
NelsonCruuuuuz replied to Sports Guy's topic in Orioles Talk
Because he’s great. -
We are top 5? Hilarious. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2945855-updated-mlb-farm-system-rankings-after-2021-mlb-draft

I enjoy watching him. Hope he figures it out with the bat consistently.
-
Thanks WC, my bad. Regardless Lawlar was the pick. Or at least House…

NelsonCruuuuuz replied to Sports Guy's topic in Orioles Talk
I think it’s funny people think Kevin Brown “is getting better” lol. He’s the best we have and an absolute joy to listen to. Love him. I have zero criticisms. I am thankful I don’t have to listen to Garceau, wow was he bad. -
I know when you are trying to close the gap in the AL East, you don’t take a RF (Kerstad) over a LH pitcher (Lacy) and another corner OFer (he’s not a CFer) over a stud SS (Lawlar who the BoSox quickly gobbled up) AND are scared to take a pitcher in the first round…. that’s a pretty poor plan to compete. But people will makes excuses for Elias just like they did DD, AM, joe jordan, etc. A culture of losing will do that.
-
They will be sold shortly after Peter passes, I don’t believe this is much of a secret at this point, hence the crap product and anemic payroll.
-
I can tell you the Adley Rutchman draft was a very good one…what happened after that year is my question? And I get he was limited…
-
People will make excuses for Elias for another 10 bad drafts as Martin & Lawlar have great careers with the Blue Jays & Sox. This draft in particular was just plain awful. Last year, at least I saw the logic despite not agreeing with it but what a demoralizing approach when trying to close the gap in organizational talent (largely between the two above mentioned teams).
