Kudos to both weblink21 and stotle. Great answers. Thanks fellas. i really think we need to have another open forum chat when all of us that are interested in the draft are available.

I am always down for a draft chat. I love keeping up on this. Like I told Greg. It will be a good time to get into knowing alot about the draft because I think we may have top 5 picks for at least a few years. :D

Regardless of how good Cedeno is or will be we need to take the best player available, regardless of position, at #4.

Cedeno while an interesting talent should have no bearing on who we pick at 4. If JJ deems Beckham the highest ceiling talent available then we grab him and run. If Beckham rockets through the system then we move Cendeno to 2B down the road.

I have a feeling we will be picking in the top 5 for the next few years, probally #1 overall next year and to be honest im happy with that. Lets build a team from the ground up. AM has done a great job of starting that in just his first year. I couldnt be happier with what direction are Org. is going.

Well we will at least have a top 5 pick this year and next year. After that I'm hoping were in the 20's.

From all indications, we are going to make a trade with the Cubs, and a name that surfaces quite often in the deal is SS Ronny Cedeno.

For the sake of this thread lets say we get Cedeno and he plays better than we expect. Now, come draft day, lets say both Smoak and Beckham are sitting pretty at our doorstep--will we bypass Beckham cause we have Cedeno? We could certainly use more power bats in our system, and Smoak, Hosmer, or Alonso could provide that. Or maybe we go with one of the stud pitchers (Crow, Matusz).

What would you guys do?

Hope not! Jordan cant be that dumb

Cedeno's unlikely presence wouldn't affect the draft at all. The better question would be - Would Rowell's presence (not to mention Snyder's and Moore's) affect picking Alvarez? And I don't think it would - as he appears to be the best prospect in the draft. I think Alvarez will be availabe, and I think he will be the pick.

But ya never know.

      Could he be back by the start of next season? I’m not sure of the exact recovery time for this procedure but I know it’s less than TJS.

      A player who is a FA after this year TB is not going to care where he goes. That said they only have Armstrong and Rosario. Potentially Maton.

      I don't think we really need to trade for CF just because we have so much depth at COF. We could promote Mayo or Kjerstad permanently and just see how they shake out, which wouldn't offensively be as bad as Mullins has been this year. Slide over Cowser to CF if we can't find that good a deal, and then go for anothter SP arm and some more depth in the pen. They don't trade Basallo because (and this is just me speculating) that they could move on from either Mountcastle or O'Hearn in the 2025-2026 offseason depending on if they can get a good return on them, like what we saw Tampa do with Austin Meadows a couple years back and the Orioles have a backup to replace said bat or bats.  In terms of who we go for, I don't really know. I don't like the idea of reuniting with Tanner Scott because his control issues and walk rate are still very present. I'm not in love with the idea of going for Kopech because the numbers and peripherals are average at best.  Carlos Estavez from the Angels, sure but how high is that asking price going to be? Whoever sells come deadline time could be interesting, as teams like the Cubs and Tigers could potentially be sellers come deadline time. Maybe even the mighty Astros who haven't been as good this year could be persuaded to sell off some talent depending on who we make available. It's a little to early to tell as of right now due to a good chunk of the sport sitting at around 500, but who knows at this point?

      Pick your 40 man roster (protect list) for Nov 20th.

      I don’t think it will meaningfully affect who they are looking to deal at the trade deadline. The Orioles will be more inclined to include guys who they aren’t planning to add to the 40 as the last pieces in a deal, but there isn’t a huge crunch that means they NEED to clear 40 man roster space. Of all the guys after Hays on that list, I think Strowd and Young are the only ones who are high probability of being added right now. None of the other borderline guys have much trade value at all. Note Baker is out of options next year, he’s going to have to pitch well the rest of the year to warrant his spot.  I also think Luis González is going to get a look at some point and will ultimately become the new Vespi for 2025, optionable lefty riding the Norfolk shuttle.
