Laurino is a 6'3, 230 pound senior from Marist College in New York. Fun Fact: That's where Maryland head coach John Szefc coached before he arrived in college park.

Getting back to Laurino, he bats right and here are his numbers with Marist: .358/.442/.561 with 6 HR, 3 triples, 14 doubles, 23 BB, 32 K, in 187 AB.

"In Laurino's debut with the IronBirds he was held hitless with 3 strikeouts, certainly not the start he had hoped for. Since then, Laurino has been a spark of consistency for a team that has experienced an inconsistent start. With at least one hit in 9 of his 11 games, Laurino has a short memory and proved his ability to bounce back. Laurino embodies the phrase, "let your play speak for itself," and he has had a lot to say so far this summer. Steve Laurino hit his first minor league homerun, going 2-4 with one RBI in the IronBirds 2-1 loss to the Staten Island Yankees on July 2."

      I think you'd see a much stronger correlation to how they were rated in the minors vs. draft position. Westburg has been treated similarly to Cowser and Kjerstad. Adley, Gunnar and Holliday were all consensus #1 prospects and have been given pretty much immediate every day player status.

      Game ball or the equivalent of hockey star(s) of the game for me: Suarez — all of those zero’s on the road, gets my game ball. Kimbrel is my runner-up. I know striking out Trout with the bases loaded is the job, but it ain’t easy. Cowser - Honorable Mention. I’m still not 100 percent in on the Milkman nickname, but he sure is fun to watch.

      Yeah - I was thinking Beavers could fill that spot, but it seems he is more suited for a corner outfield position, if he makes the bigs at all.

      Kjesrtad was Elias's #1 pick in 2020 draft and #2 overall, so Elias saw something great in him.  Can you all imagine how powerful the O's will be if Holliday starts to hit and Kjerstadt hits like he did in the minors, Kjesrtad did good when he was called up in 2023.  They will be the Baltimore Bombers!

      I'm not crushing Santander either, but he's a career .765 OPS guy. It was .797 last year. His only year over .800 was the Covid year. He plays average defense. Not a butcher, but not exactly rangy out there. Long story short, I think you can get similar power with more OBP from Kjerstad and Cowser with similar defense for Kjerstad and better for Cowser. So yes, I'd say they'll be better than Santander.

      Can we get Buster Olney, talking heads, and various posters to look in the mirror for their ridiculing Elias' "hoarding" prospects? The strategy has always been about raising the competitive floor/ceiling while managing risk like a portfolio manager.  Seeking alpha while managing beta is the goal.  Sig's purpose is the quantify. And yet we still have people tossing out trade proposals and extensions and unhealthy FA pursuits because they know better and moving prospects to other positions.  It's fun to speculate but it's foolish to present it as an absolute.
