Like this pick from the video and reports I've seen. Plus speed, enough arm and glove for SS, and I love his swing. Super quiet, gets surprising power out of a small frame. Seems a bit slow (not long) to the zone from those clips but can catch up to elite FBs (tripled off Joey Gallo in a showcase event), not sure how he'll do against good breaking stuff but that's a common concern with HS bats.

I'm very okay with this pick in the third round.

Yeah, they showed a few videos on the draft coverage. He seems like quite a speedy guy.

Very athletic runner in that scouting video. Looks like he glides. I imagine he's got some decent range and quickness at SS.

Ditto. I picture Brady helping him bulk up and Bordick working with him at the finer points of SS. If we're lucky, this could be our BRob of the future.

You think he is better suited at 2nd than SS? I was thinking if he did progress the way we hope for him to that our infield would be:

3B - Machado

SS - Marin

2nd - Schoop

1st - Walker

Wishful thinking I know.

No, it sounds like people think he can stick at SS. If we have a problem of too many ML-capable SSs in the future, we'll deal with that problem. I don't see any best case scenario having Machado at 3B and no Delmonico in the IF though.

      Westburg exceeded rookie eligibility limits last year exceeding 130 at bats and more than 45 days on the active roster. On the plus side he might qualify as a super sophomore or at the very least avoid the sophomore slump.

      Westburg shouldn’t be, where are you seeing that?

      So since Westburg is apparently still ROY eligible, Cowser and Westburg may project to be the best rookie combination since Fred Lynn and Jim Rice in 1975?

      There were several and I was one them. I'm  on record as saying I was one of his biggest Apologists . You should feel good about yourself as you were able to see that Means would be imploding before our very eyes( which was an opinion or a guess, which is what I did) as far as feeling bad for me? Dont I'm plenty good enough to know I wont be able to guess right every time

      Fantastic pickup by Elias and big kudos to O’Hearn for taking advantage of the resources to improve. He’s a great story.

      Given his injury history and what’s happening right now, Means may make more money as an Oriole next year than as a free agent. He may have to settle for league minimum as a FA but would do better than that in arbitration. Heck, unless he’s effective at least a little this year then the orioles might release him after the season to avoid paying more than league minimum. I hope Means recovers, very much so, but this scenario is possible imo.    ps. I guess I ignored the part where you said if Means thinks he is healthy.

      What I'd like to see in the next game Holliday plays, is for him to keep his eyes following through on the ball when he swings. In the last game I saw, he was yanking his head off the zone when he swung and couldn't see the bat to the ball. He was missing wildly and it wasn't even competitive. So, keep your eye on the ball! Follow all the way through! If your swing is so violent that it's yanking your head off the sight of the ball, then adjust your mechanics because you can't hit what you can't see!
