A newer mock: https://www.mlb.com/news/mlb-mock-draft-june-16-2021

Rodgers had his first subpar outing last night with Nats Rochester team. I just am surprised they didn’t give him longer coming off injury, but we will see.

Please don’t talk to me. You are repulsive human being. Please block me & I will do the same.

I remember reading post after post last year on here how he is a 4th OF at best with a weak arm and would never hit at the major league level. Many were calling for him to be removed from the 40 man even. Just something to remember when you read “analysis” on here.

B-/C+ Elias has been tremendous in improving player development, fantastic. Another plus on improving international focus. Those 2 are huge. As most of you know, strongly disliked Kjerstad pick, nothing to do with health. In a city where Best Player Available is a city mantra & your team is laughingly bad consistently, don’t get cute. What gems has he found in his tenure from the scrap heap? Alberto was awesome but let go for nothing, still miss that guy! Not super impressive here. Rule 5 (not very important): loved the Martin pick! This year? Didn’t protect Pop, mistake. Took 2 pitchers not anywhere on the top 20 best available. Wells has been great, so kudos there! If he takes BPA this year in the draft, I’d go B+.

Thanks. I doubt he was ever a consideration though. I think TE likely DFA-Ed soon or replaces Harvey possibly if not atrocious.

I think that is what Elias wants. Arizona is further ahead with no signs of life. My guess (and hope I am wrong) he is looking at trading Santander, Means & even Mancini. The truth is this team is about to be sold but won’t happen until Peter passes. My guess is the new ownership group is already lined up & involves Ripken. That’s the move toward competitiveness, not actual results imo.

I much rather see Jannis, the knuckleballer. Dude is a class act, could benefit from major league experience and at least be fun to watch on an abysmal team.

Likely not much. Low level flyer.

Trezza is great. He lives in reality.

Never been a fan but his defense improved and much worse on 40 man, puzzling. Since the Os DFA-Ed Rodgers, he’s had two great starts in AAA for the Nats. I feel like they cut bait with him way too soon giving his surgery.

Wow, didn’t see this coming…

And what info I do have, I am sure I would gladly share with strangers on an internet message board, particularly pos' like yourself.

Two first round pitchers, both didn't work out. Likely why he passed on Lacy last year in the first. You forget to mention they stole signs to aid in their endeavors. Minor detail for you I guess.

You don’t know a damn thing about me and what I know and don’t know or who I know or what I have heard. Such courage from posters on an internet message board. Go back to your mantra that Elias is god and Os are a well oiled machine. You are the one that should not talk about info you don’t know a thing about.

Yeah, why hold Elias accountable for anything? We are only the laughing stock of baseball that refuses to cut dead weight off the 40-man roster (Davis). When you are rebuilding, you can’t afford to miss on the first round and you better do in depth research. I have heard that wasn’t done here because they thought they could get a couple down in price. Again, I like Elias, but fans trust him way too much. Same posters singing the praises of Joe Jordan as he pissed away numerous drafts.

The 2 separate issues are: 1. What you stated, spot on. 2. They thought they could get Martin down in numbers is my understanding, they couldn’t. The due diligence on Kjerstad is in question.

So we can name call now moderators? If so, I got some words for that backwoods pos.

First off, not celebrating just pointing out the approach is stupid when you are fielding an atrocious product to the fans of Baltimore. Take the BPA! Do some research. Look at the interview of Kjerstad after his pick. He was surprised the Os took him. They had limited contact with him.

I think many of your posts are stupid too, I will be sure to call them out moving forward. Stay classy.

I think there is a significant chance of that. This is why when you suck for purpose, you take the BPA and don’t get cute.

But think of all the money they saved to draft a guy that got TJ!

https://twitter.com/masnsteve/status/1405270027176079362?s=21 Mike Elias said Heston Kjerstad has experienced some recurring inflammation with his heart,, slowing down plan for his return. Said it is a bump in the road, but serious and tricky condition. Will back up his timeline to return.

Any team with Josh Gibson.
