The Hawaiian shirts are trash and they only had like two sizes…..XL and M.
Made in China too, not a good look. Shocked they weren’t made in Russia.

I heard on the radio broadcast that the O’s 7 game winning streak (before today) was by a total of 10 runs, the smallest margin for a 7-game win streak since 2008.
You must be foaming at the mouth to trade off everyone! Who do you want to trade?

Very happy for Lopez. Great to see.
I think Bautista should have gone, too.
Def and Mancini, Mountcastle, Santander & Hays all deserving as well.
Roch nailed it!

Love it! Push all these OH negative nellies to the fringes! Most think we should trade them all at the deadline including the great Mancini! I saw Frobby at the game last night in the suite with a Cash Consideration's jersey on!:) Let’s Go Os!

Elias doesn't have a rep for rushing anyone. I really don't see him promoted to Bowie before the end of the year unless he dominates Aberdeen close to how he has dominated Delmarva.
I hope so. He’s beyond dominating now, wish some of that time would be focused at a higher level.

Why so hard on Johnson? It’s been said he is the best prep hitter in over a decade and has a 70-80 grade current hit tool? Has a great make up with high baseball IQ.
I have stated a few times on here.
watch the video ms of him, struggles with throws on the right hand side of SS. Why are skipping Jones, Hokiday, Lee, Parada, a bunch of other guys for a 2nd?
His height. Ben McDonald, just 2 days ago said he wasn’t a fan of his at 1:1 bc of his height.
I am not a fan of Law’s analysis honestly.

I'm predicting the All Star break. Does the minor leagues have an All Star break at the same time as the majors?
Futures game is Sat. No AS game this year, just a break of 4 days between July 17th-20th. What worries me is they promote him to Aberdeen and then rush him to Bowie. I believe he should not be rushed but the current domination is not helping him.

Look, it's gonna be ok. The O's are gonna draft someone they have watched play, talked to and seen countless video of playing. They will have also consulted many folks with respected opinions regarding the players. And they will factor all of that in without much taking into consideration the hundreds of pages posted here suggesting that "elite" level talent is inexcusable to pass up.
You’re right. Os always make the right decision. Gotta run: meeting up with Matt Hobgood at the race track.

He’s the only other guy I feel is worthy of the first pick. I wouldn’t take him over Jones but I think it’s justifiable.
The caveat to this is how does the team feel about Green and his swing and miss. If they feel it’s easily correctable, which I assume they would if they took him 1, I’m good with him as well.
Spot on. I agree with almost all your takes on the draft. Agree about Jones. Be fine with Holiday, Lee, Parada, Lesko (not happening I know) and Green if they feel the risk isn’t as big as it looks. Collier: I just don’t know to be honest.

2022 MLB Draft Top 100 prospects: Keith Law’s final rankings ahead of Round 1 - The Athletic
Law's final Top 100:
1) Jones
2) Collier
3) Johnson
4) Green
5) Lee
6) Holliday
I said this before, and I’ll say it again: I love Keith Law. He’s a great man and a moral man, respect the heck out of him but don’t trust his analysis. Johnson is not a 3. We will see who is right I guess but if Os pick Johnson, this draft will be a colossal failure.

There's just no way he isn't promoted on Monday.

In no particular order:
Tyler Wells 7-4, 3.28 ERA, 1.05 WHIP, .221 Avg
Jorge Lopez 3-5, 1,74 ERA, 16 of 20 save attempts, 47k in 41.1 IP, 0.97 WHIP, .169 Avg
Felix Bautista 3-2, 1.82 ERA, 43 in 34.2 IP, 1.01 WHIP, .189 Avg. How do you argue with 101 MPH
Roch predicts Lopez as only rep. Cases could be made for:
Lopez
Batista
Perez
Wells
Mountcastle
Mullins
Hays
Santander
Mateo (defense matters haters:)
I do think is being on a 7 game win streak helps us significantly to possibly get a 2nd rep.

I think Green has higher upside than Jones and part of me wants to roll the dice on that.
Not me. Too much risk, but wouldn’t be angry. Just depends what their evaluation is on him.

They also happen to be very valuable positions. You want guys who can play there.
Not sure if Holliday will stick at SS. Seems clear Jones will stick in CF.
Lee likely would stick at 3b

Bringing in Zim with a 7 game win streak on the line seems ballsy.

There are a couple of different sources, but the one most easy to access is Fangraphs. Here a link to their list of defensive stats for 54 catchers, 200 innings caught minimum (look at the column labeled "FRM"). They have him dead last in framing runs, at -9.5 Adley is 14th, at +2.5, despite not having caught that many games yet. On a per-game basis he is pretty spectacular.
Baseball Prospectus has its own framing metric. They have Chirinos at -10.0, Rutschman at +1.7.
Now let me just say, when I watch Chirinos, I don't notice that he is a particularly bad framer. But the stats say otherwise.
I don't know of publicly available sources that track this at the minor league level.
Thank you Frobby. I agree on Chirinos, that really surprised me.

Guy caught a foul ball in his gut next to us! Nuts!

Would you take Jones Jr at full slot (or close to it) or Termarr Johnson at $1.5M under slot?

Does have a bit of injury history and worked with his dad, does he adjust well to that change in environment? Buddy of mine said he thinks it will be Lee, we will see. I don’t see Elias working with Boras, but who knows.
