Do I get some inefficiency award? Since I have zero birds, despite being the first non-staff member to sign up and not get kicked off...

I think I have the lowest posting ratio/days on the board. It's crazy to think I have been here for almost 8 years.

So the forum went up as Hurricane Isabel was bearing down on us? That's pretty freaking fascinating, methinks....

It always amazes me that videos and transcripts get the appreciation they do. Being on the lists with so many who contribute so much, so often, is a bit more than humbling, when I know that the analysis and the baseball acumen so far exceeds mine.

On the other hand, I love that people appreciate the videos when I post em. I definitely took a bit of a break after being beaned by a young prospect who shall go unnamed while I was capturing his pitches from behind home plate. But I still love doing them. Next week we'll be at spring training and are hoping to get over to the Buck O'Neill Complex (Twin Lakes, Minor League camp), where I can perhaps capture some more youngsters with otherwise infrequent exposure. Anyone have any preferences?

Anyway, it's just great to have this place to share what I've got to share. :D

    • Well it certainly doesn't look like he'll be winning Rookie of Year award. And if we send him down for like the tiniest amount of time, we get him for another year, right? I think if this poor hitting continues it's financial mismanagement not to send him back down. Grayson got sent down and came back way better.
    • He certainly isn't a bust but I wasn't happy with the pick at the time and I don't love using the second overall pick for that type of player profile. Westburg signed for slot so he's irrelevant but Mayo was a great use of the money saved.
    • Think Heston will be the next call up. Mayo’s K/BB ratio is poor and I think they’ll want to see that even out. Stowers and Norby have seen their numbers slip a bit.  It will likely take an injury to an outfielder or first baseman, but I think we see HK next. 
    • I have to laugh at some of my pre-draft thoughts as well as others. I will say on behalf of myself and some others is that what we did not understand then was what the Orioles brain trust knew to be their model, and what they best developed. What traits they were looking for is an important thing to know, in hindsight anyway. And really, the Jackson Holliday leap in development was not something most of us heard anything about until about a month before the draft. I saw him the previous summer and I cannot say he was all that impressive, but it was only one look. His physicality took a big jump after that.  I will also add that we’re never going to know what would have happened if they drafted Austin Martin, Jones, Lawler, Lacy, etc. Their development could well have been different as O’s. The funny part of this board, in general, is the absolute certainty some have in their opinions and how eager they are to trash Elias and staff. There is plenty of humility to go around, now that things have played out. It’s fun to finally have a truly great front office and ownership group, and a stacked stable of horses. 
    • How did the moustache work for Austin Hays?
    • Thanks for the kind words @HbgOsFan and thanks especially for reading them.
    • I just think it’s too soon to think about sending him down.  Two more weeks like this?  It definitely would be time.  But I’ll bet we don’t see two more weeks like this.
