Off topic, and I think Mark, Greg and all of the others who contributed their hard word to keep us informed of this draft did a flipping amazing job but does anyone know where Crazysilver03 has been? I was looking forward to his insight as well as the others.

Not sure. Thanks for the props. I love getting all the various insight and information from all the great sources here at the Hangout. Hopefully, Crazysilver03 will be back soon to add his thoughts.

Also, like last year, I look forward to Hoosiers overview of all the picks made by the Orioles. (no pressure Adam;) )

Mark,

That was the article on Kolodny that I found last night. The Moore stuff was more difficult as there was actually a HS senior plus pitcher in Kentucky with the exact same name and the Kentucky guy thought he was drafted by the Os! I found an article on Moore which said the Os had offered $20k and college tuition and it sounded like he would sign.

The more I read about this kid [Kolodny] the more I become intrigued.

Cool, because he's signing.

He'll be reporting to Sarasota on Saturday. I know, I talked to him yesterday (well, my friend did, anyway).

If you guys have any questions on him, feel free to ask, and I'll try to answer. I'm a sports editor for El Camino's newspaper, so I know some about him. He's a pretty darn good basketball player, too.

Crash,

We will devour any info you can provide on Tyler.

Was he expecting to be drafted? Higher perhaps? Were many teams following him?

Those are actually some really good questions. I'm not sure, but I should really find out for the article I'm publishing on him for Friday. :rolleyes:

I know he really wanted to play for the Dodgers. I actually don't think he was expecting to be drafted, considering that he was pretty set on fulfilling his scholarship at Fresno State, where he was going to be a two sport guy. He's really excited about starting in the pros now, though.

EDIT - Now that I think about it, he probably went pretty much under the radar considering the uproar around this area about Moustakas and Dominguez. I wouldn't be surprised if he knew nothing about his draft status.

      Wait....I already said that he doesn't dead lift, squat, or bench 500 pounds, let alone the 800 pounds as you said. I literally just said yesterday his Bench was maybeeeeee 300 with the help of pads and the sling shot, and his squat was 400.  Is that anywhere near 500 or the 800 that you claimed? So please, tell me where I said he was doing 500 pounds seriously?  I said that above sarcastically in response to your continued assertions that JH was doing elite power lifting numbers.  Which was ridiculous.  Just lol.

      I would agree.  He needs a complete reset.  Complete rest.  Starting to remind me more and more of Dylan Bundy.  A guy who FOR SURE early in his baseball life trained too hard.  Played too hard.  Took baseball too hard as a possible career.  By the time he grew into an adult man, he wasn't the player he was as a kid and young man.  Both mentally and physically.  I said this in an earlier post, but unlike most athletes, JH seems to have been groomed from the time he was 3 to be a baseball player.   He may already have the body of a 27 year old when it comes to wear and tear.   And I am sure since all he has ever done is baseball, there is a part of him mentally that is just tired. That is why with my son and daughter (5 and 9  ) I encourage them to play any and all sports, but focus on none.  Your true abilities in any sport will eventually come out.    Just don't over do it.  Even Tiger broke down from his dads complete obsession with making him the best.  The fact that Tiger actually did it is a testament to his mental strength.  That being said.......if you can get a boatload for him now?  I would do it.  I said it yesterday but he is not a special athlete.  He is a very good baseball player.  But not an elite athlete  despite what Corn says.   And this injury is not a good sign of what is to come.

      Keith Law has O's taking Tommy White at #22 in latest mock draft

      By Jim'sKid26 · Posted

      I like college bats after #10 until the end of the first round. My preference is for them to have some defensive value if possible. I like the idea of using comp picks to try to get high end high school bats. Its a risk/reward type of pick. I would have to know why they, (Burns and Smith) fell to that level. Pitchers break and that's a lot of money for a broken pitcher. I'd be very cautious, in other words.

      I characterize “winning” as having a winning culture and established high level of play.  I don’t think we had that in the 2012-2016 run.  I think even the most orange tinted glasses saw that was a very short window with nothing to come after.  What we have now, and what the Ravens have established, is the ground work for continued winning and high level play. Above and beyond the on field accomplishments the organization is doing all the right things off the field and nurturing a relationship with the fans in a “winning” manner.  Winning was never the focus in the past.  Even the most ardent haters can see that winning is here for the foreseeable future on and off the field.

      Naw, I know sarcasm and that wasn't sarcasm. You are just changing your story.

      Everyone is a sports psychologist and physical therapist now. He's a talented 20-year-old living his best life who struggled in a tiny sample size at the MLB level. The conspiracy theories that people create are absurd. He hurt his elbow, players get hurt at times, just about every one of them, it doesn't need to be over-analyzed.

      Again...sarcasm? You guys are so quick to jump on anything I say and paint into a negative light it is BEYOND comical.  I feel as if I have my own trolls and internet 'haters' here. Relax.
