waroriole, brought up whether our pick today would automatically claim the #3 spot, behind Bundy and Machado, respectively. I think he does, whether it's Gausman, Buxton, Zimmer, Correa, or Almora. With that said, I see...

1. Bundy

2. Machado

3. Our Pick

4. Delmonico

5. Schoop

6. Avery

7. Hoes

8. Wright

9. Rodriguez

10. T. Berry

I think that's true for almost anyone we pick. I could see if we landed Almora, him dipping below Delmonico and potentially Schoop. Buxton is the only one that could challenge for a Top 2 position, and that would be contingent on Machado doing poorly at AA the rest of the year and him signing early and blowing the lid off from the get-go.

I think it will be

1- Bundy

2- Machado

3- Draft Pick

4- Schoop

5- Lino

6- Delmonico

7- Bridwell

8- Avery

9- Hoes

10- Rodriguez

Or very close to that. Although, after the top 4, I could see some minor rearranging.

How about this?

I don't think this is much of a stretch. To me, the farm system after the top 5 (including our new #1), is a crap shoot.

EDIT: Whoa! Sorry...I missed Soler on that list. I think it would be great if we got him in the fold. I think he'd be #6, though.

Maybe you could provide your explanation for so obviously dropping Delmonico? The rest of your list is pretty much the same/little variation of common sense/consensus, so it stands to reason that you're trying to make a point about Delmonico here...

Most likely relegated to 1B. His bat looks very nice for a 3B, great for a 2B, and okay for a 1B. Plus, he's a long way away.

In other words, kinda like Brandon Snyder.

Fair enough, I'll just have to hope that your conservative take on him tells less of the eventual tale than the rest of the more optimistic stances out there.

      There's probably enough excess depth to pull off at least two of those moves. That might be enough to bring home at least one trophy, in a scenario where they just refuse to increase payroll from here. Can't hope for better in that case.

      I never said that Urias can bring back a starting pitcher on his own. Not sure why you ask that question leading off your post. If you're simply stating that Urias only makes sense to trade if he brings back a starting pitcher, I totally disagree with that. And yes, I do know that Urias doesn't have enough value to bring back a starting pitcher. But I have no idea why you'd lead off a response with that kind of question, though. It's not applicable to what I said. I also disagree that Urias would need to be part of a package. He may be part of a package, but he can be traded on his own as well.  I simply said the Orioles need to trade Urias. I have full faith that Elias would get decent value for him. And it doesn't necessarily need to be pitching, although there's a good chance Elias would try to land pitching in return. And there's added value in opening up playing time for Ortiz and Westburg that a Urias trade would make possible as well. To answer your other question, I'd trade Norby, Prieto, Hall, and Stowers. But I'd trade Urias, Mateo, and Santander first. I'd trade Mountcastle too, but he might have the least perceived value to other teams of any of those guys.

      Are you actually making the point (I don't think you are) that starting pitching is irrelevant in the post season? Or that we should be okay with the worse rotation (by a good amount) entering into the AL postseason because "how much does it actually matter"?

      How much does it actually matter?  In the playoffs, how often does the team with the best rotation on paper actually win the series?

      Kinda slow around here lately.   Maybe a Dragon Ball Z reference will spice things up.  Heh. https://www.baltimoreravens.com/news/todd-monken-lamar-jackson-unlock-super-saiyan-version

      Trade targets: Starters and Bullpen

      What is Snell really? This isn't 2018 anymore. he's nothing better than the "5 and dive" guys that we already have. We don't need another one IMO. We need a real impact starter. I think we can and should set our sights a lot higher than the Blake Snell of 2023.

      Anything is possible during this transitional time, but as I wrote earlier, I think they could gamble as you said. They spread things out in past drafts, and it was wise because they added quality talented depth. They can gamble a little here, and I think they did that last year as well when you think about McLean and the Walters, Young and another that escapes me right now. Gambling with the first pick is a little different, though.
