Curious if the strikeouts were due to higher velocity- what were the pitch speeds?
-
Almost as bad as Tavera and the rest of Delmarva hitters so far.

…and we have our highest rated International signings there…
I know it’s too early to panic. You got Tavera/Arias/others hitting around the Mendoza. I hope they turn around- I was hoping a few fast starts like Basallo last year.
-
Scary to think what our record would be if wasn’t here. I still believe we need another trade for a pitcher.
-
How did Basallo look?

No talk of a rehab assignment for him yet? I'll be surprised if he's here before July. I guess a healthy Bradish this year is a bonus.
I was being optimistic. I wish we signed Bauer or Montgomery or simple traded for pitching.
-
I assuming Bradish won’t come back until mid season?
-
Small negative competing with Bobby Witt, Corey Seager, Bo Bichette and the overhyped Volpe for that Allstar spot.

I see balls that would be caught by Urias and Gunnar getting by Westburg.
What’s your thoughts on Mayo at 3B? Similar defense to Westburg?

That would have been tough to do. Eldridge went #16 and the Orioles pick was #17.
Yeah- forgot about that

I have yet to see him take a decent swing. Orioles might have taken on more than they could handle in making him into a major leaguer.
Seems overmatched, hard to see an impact hitter in any at-bats.
Wished they drafted Bryce Eldridge instead.

Good stuff. I can tell he’s fast.
He seem to be wearing a baggie uniform- not sure if it’s because he’s skinny or just his preferred style.

Tavera is a participant in the spring breakout game so we’ll get a look at him there hopefully, assuming he gets in the game.
I’m hoping to get a look at Almeyda and other young minor leaguers at Twin Lakes once I get down there later this week.
Good to know- happy to hear any insight if you get an eye on them. I have high hopes on Tavera- hoping for a five tool star player.

I was curious how Luis Alymeda and Braylin Tavera are looking physically? They seemed super thin last year- hoping a year of professional weight training has added some muscle and less baby fat.

From what I understand, the “professional” autograph seekers wore him out. He apparently caught wind of the amount of cards he signed in person that were being sold online by these people, and so he started to shut it down.
Glad someone gave another perspective.

Any way back to Mayo.
Played first base today in split squad action. Went 1-4 with a K.
How did look at 1B?
-
If anyone attended in the past, any current or former players that sign at the event?
-
I didn’t see the game, but I heard Bradfield pinch ran for Mullins. Anything noteworthy- if he played a defense or batted afterwards.
-
Definitely, excited to find out what type of player he becomes- I hope it’s more Mullins than Bourn.

Scott Boras outflanking Dan Duquette to get to Peter was a tough moment in franchise history.
It probably colors many of our impressions and makes the thought of ideally 5-6 current Orioles actually deserving to earn more than Chris Davis in time for their baseball ability a little anxiety inducing.
Chris Davis was a risky player profile for a Club to make that kind of investment in. Duquette knew it at that time. Adley's going to be a lot more risky than Gunnar or Holliday, and get there sooner.
It may not be a popular opinion, I would not give Adley that 7 or 10 year extension. When you look at Mauer, Posey and even Weiters on how short live being catcher is - low ROI. Plus, Adley was somewhat an older rookie.

I think Norby may be a major league piece. We’re gonna need someone to hit against LHP
We still have Mateo and the guy who won the GG. Where do you slot him -you thinking if someone got injured?

Surprised they didn’t swap out Norby for the 34th pick. There is no place to play him and repeating AAA for 3 years in a row- will really sour him.
Unless, he’s another chess piece for bullpen help.

I think this is our indication that our front office Ceased to care about their ridiculous demands.
I bet the GM gets buried by their fans for over playing his hand and losing.

Pay this man NOW!!
Curious who’s his agent. If it’s Boras- no way he doesn’t hit free agency.

Got to trust Elias based on the results. However, Bradfield might be his first draft flop. Based on Bradfield quotes from Spring Training, not adapting to club suggestions (maybe I misread) and the early results. For me, I don’t see the projections that we saw in Cowser or Westburg who were underrated.
