Dont know if anyone else has seen this ...I posted it in the other thread ...Seattle is being rumored on ESPN INsider as looking at High School SS Francisco Lindor. If this is true then Rendon could very well fall to the O's.

Academy shortstop Francisco Lindor are being strongly considered by clubs drafting in the top 5, including Seattle at No. 2.

Boy I can't see Jack Z passing on Rendon. He loves elite college talent.

There are a lot of elite college pitchers out there too...and if he is thinking about dealing Felix for a 4-5 player haul, he'll need more pitching to replace him.

He doesn't seem to be the type of guy that would pass on Rendon and live to regret it later IMO.

If he took Ackley, he'll take Rendon IMO.

Well that's specious. Maybe he took Ackley because he thought he was the BPA and plans to do the same this draft? That player probably is Rendon, but I don't think it has anything to do with Ackley or elite college bats. That's your obsession which you're projecting onto Jack Z.

Anthony Rendon, 3B, Rice

It's been a tough 12 months for this mega-prospect. Rendon has suffered injuries to both ankle and shoulder, limiting him to the DH role for most of the season. The shoulder may have slowed down his bat, but his lack of protection in the Rice lineup makes it hard to judge because no one is throwing him strikes. .

I didnt copy the full article ...But he has health concerns for sure.

This is not new info. The ankle injuries were freakish and are completely in the past.

The shoulder injury does not appear to be structural. If he were in pro ball, he would have hit the DL and recovered for a month or so and healed up. The college program needs him and he wants to play, so they've been running him out mostly at DH.

The injury does appear to have affected his power numbers somewhat, which is actually just leading him to be undervalued.

The medicals need to check out, but as long as there is no structural damage, he's an elite talent. Think .300/.400/.500 with plus defense in the infield.

I don't understand why so many of you just shrug off Rendon's injuries.

I see some of you say that his ankle injuries were freakish and he has recovered. He will probably recover from the shoulder injury, too. But doesn't the fact that he has been injured three years in a row bother you? One of you says that if he were in pro ball, he would have been on the DL to get over the shoulder injury. That's true, but how many times might he have to be on the DL getting over injuries?

The O's need someone as good as Rendon, whether at 2B or 3B. But this is the fourth pick in the draft, and I'm very leery of taking someone that high who has not been able to stay healthy over the last three years.

Yeah, you would think that Trea knows Jack Z personally. He sees one pick he made and assumes that is his philosophy. Typical Trea logic.

As much as I would love to get Rendon, I have to agree with you here. His injury history is very scary.

      I don’t like the wall. I think it’s affecting our hitters. I’ve mentioned before that I think it has totally warped Mountcastle into something he was never really meant to be. The guy came up as a pull-heavy HR hitter, and in his first season-plus (725 PAs), he puts up 38 HRs and a 116 wRC+. Since then, the wRC+ is down to 110, and his approach has totally changed, with his pull numbers plummeting (down from 39% in 2021 to less than 28% this year). He still hits the ball hard, but constantly underachieves his batted ball data — probably because he’s trying to avoid the pull field and hitting balls to the deepest parts of pretty much every other park. Will the same thing happen to Mayo? Maybe he has more pure power, but it’s always going to be a challenge for a RH slugger to survive with that wall. So much harder to do damage.   Beyond that, I think it’s also creating a serious risk of changing our LH hitters’ approaches too. These guys (Henderson, Holliday, Cowser, 2/3 of Adley) have come up with a reputation for being able to drive the ball to all fields. But how long does that continue when they just can’t hit it out to the opposite field? Our LH hitters had a combined 44 wRC+ at OPACY, and only one HR. They had the 3rd most balls hit to LF at home by LHHs, but the lowest wRC+ of any team on those balls (for the second straight year). The Royals, ironically enough, were the only team that was lower than a 70 wRC+ — that’s how much worse our lefties fared going oppo (at OPACY) than everyone else’s. By player: Gunnar Henderson: 112 wRC+ / .160 ISO (51 PAs) Adley Rutschman: 10 wRC+ / .026 ISO (38 PAs) Anthony Santander: 14 wRC+ / .095 ISO (43 PAs) Colton Cowser: 58 wRC+ / .057 ISO (36 PAs) Ryan O’Hearn: 47 wRC+ / .091 ISO (55 PAs) Cedric Mullins: 23 wRC+ / .100 ISO (41 PAs) Jackson Holliday: -72 wRC+ / .000 ISO (16 PAs)   On the road, they had a combined 126 wRC+ (with 9 HRs) going to left field, so it’s not like they’re bad at it. It’s just Death Valley out there in LF for them at OPACY.  How long will it be until these LH guys just start going full pull-happy? Essentially, the opposite of what’s happened with Mountcastle. When (a) your team’s philosophy is to focus on doing damage and (b) you can’t DO damage to the opposite field — the rational endpoint is just to try to pull everything. I don’t think that’s a good outcome. I think it makes them much worse hitters in the other 81 games, and I think it’s a terrible waste of a bunch of really talented hitters with all-field abilities.

      Which core players beside Adley Rutschman struggled?

      By Pat Kelly · Posted

      The entire commentary on Hyde and the team seems odd but have to admit there does seem to be something off.   Team seemed adrift for most of the 2nd half.  A very talented team went off the rails midway through the season mostly due to core players struggling and rookies not performing or filling in adequately for a few injured starters.    None of the position player trade line acquisitions performed that well.     Hyde seemed in over his head or at a loss on how to correct things, but he must have convinced Elias that he has a plan to fix things.  Curious to see what happens with the coaching staff.

      They've averaged 92 wins a year the last 3 years in the most difficult environment in the sport with basically the greatest disadvantages in the sport. Something tells me they know a hell of a lot more about this than you do.
