O's to take Archie Bradley? Nope, Dylan Bundy!

[Carroll County]

MacPhail is definitely sticking to the "grow the arms" philosophy, now he just needs hundreds of millions of dollars to buy a couple bats that are actually good.

Yup, I think it speaks to the team's lack of faith in our current core. Will we do what it takes to retain Britton/Matusz/Arrieta when Bundy/Machado arrive?

Looks like 2015 is our earliest hope at contending.

Bundy is supposed to move quickly for a HS pitcher from what I've read.

[Remember The Alomar]

I think it was Callis said slightly above Taillon.

Awesome. I love college pitchers, but there's a mystique around high school phenoms.

Wow step off the ledge. Come on man Dylan Bundy might be the best player in the draft. He could get here just as fast as the college guys. Rendon must be really banged up.

[Enjoy Terror]

When is our next pick?

Just off the top of my head, I think 64th. So, tomorrow. The Red Sox and Rays have nine picks between our first and second pick. It's no wonder why we are bad.

Dude was getting talked about at 1:1.

[RUO'sFan]

The further Rendon slides, the more it justifies taking Bundy at 4.

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.

[Remember The Alomar]

"Kevin Goldstein:

I don't know ANYBODY who thinks Rendon can play up the middle as a pro."

Couple this with the possibility of poor medicals then I can see why he's dropping.

[PA Bird Fan]

When is our next pick?

Tomorrow.

[Scrat1]

It's going to be so, so sick if both the Bundy brothers are in our rotation down the line.

[RVAbird]

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.

[JTrea81]

Bundy-Bradley could make the Nats-Orioles rivalry more interesting...

[TJ Wrangler]

I'm curious what is wrong with Rendon right now. By all accounts, he had a great year statistically with the shoulder issue.
