Need to know what's up with Rendon's medicals before I know how I feel about passing.

THAT BEING SAID, I am THRILLED with the Bundy selection. Future ace, could plow through the system. Neck and neck with Starling as BPA on board (sans an injured Rendon), less risk and better fit for the development system.

Orioles fans will be very happy with Dylan Bundy.

What is the earliest Bundy could get here?

Who's on a ledge, chief?

All I'm saying is that it sucks that it's another HS arm, and we'll be bracing, yet again, for another push back for the date we expect to contend.

I never said Bundy isn't going to be good, the disappointment for me is that so is Rendon, and he would have been here a lot more quickly.

Wasn't trying to be confrontational.. No need to talk to me like I'm from Kansas City. :D

I just thought you were being a little extreme. Seems like a big reach to think our draft pick tells what our FO thinks about the current core. Buster Olney just tweeted Bundy could be in the bigs in 2013. I understand being upset because I wanted Rendon too but I'm very happy with Bundy.

      Colton Cowser 2024

      By Just Regular · Posted

      The minors 50 point OBP gap basically gone so far.   I do think Cowser (especially early Cowser) and Westburg present a contrast in the "trying to get a walk" bearing in the batter's box.     I believe some guys can leverage that skill to get counterfeit minors OBP numbers. Cowser's not that one dimensional, for sure, as Zack Wheeler experienced yesterday.       I don't concede RoY to Luis Gil just yet, though the Orioles hopes there would be helped if they can hit him some this week.    Cowser in a better spot than Gil to sustain production the last 5/9ths of the season. fWAR for now has it at: AL Bats - Cowser 2.1, W. Abreu 1.6 AL Arms - Gil 2.0, Miller 1.3

      Gunnar Henderson 2024

      Bobby Witt, Jr. Contract I'll believe Gunnar signs when he signs and I don't think he signs with the O's before hitting FA first. What SG says makes a lot of sense, but Gunnar is going to bet on himself and hit FA.

      The issue is all indications are the WS are delusional with his value just like Cease.

      I’m a massive Westburg fan, but when it’s all said and done I believe Cowser will be the better hitter.

      Gunnar Henderson 2024

      By The Goob · Posted

      Gunnar has 5.0 WAR in 70 games.  He is on pace for 50 HR, 112 RBI, 21 SB and an OPS over 950.  I tired of the extension talk.  I believe they will get something done but would rather just enjoy watching him play.  I was crushed when Chris Davis got Manny's money and he walked the next year because I wanted to see a talent like that for their whole career on the Orioles.  I think Gunnar is as talented maybe even more than Manny and is a way better sportsman and teammate from all reports.  He demeanor remind me so much of Cal and his talent is otherworldly.  I like to browse Baseball Reference from time to time and one thing I always find interesting is to look at their Similarity Scores for players through their current age.  In the top ten for Gunnar there are three Hall of Famers - Tony Lazzeri, Gary Carter and Scott Rolen.  Others in there are Eric Chavez, Travis Fryman and Bobby Witt, JR.  We all know how good Gunnar is but sometimes we undervalue the fact that he has a chance to be the best player in baseball for the next ten years.  I get all the talk about the business of baseball because it matters in building a winner but the joy of being a fan for me is watching players like Ripken, Murray, Jones, Manny, Adley and Gunnar; probably my favorite Orioles ever.

      That tracks with the eye test.  He’s been pounding balls all year and has had terrible luck.  He’s going to be good for a long time.

      O's @ Yankees Series, June 18-20 (Tues-Thurs)

      I'm curious to see if Mike Elias gets himself a seat there like last year.     The place will probably be a bit more packed this year.
