Conference Tourneys -- Possible O's Draftees


Recommended Posts

Smoak and Alvarez play today at 4:00 in the SEC Tourney. Loser is eliminated, winner plays Ole Miss tomorrow at 11am (and 6pm if necessary).

Posey plays today at 5 against UVA and tomorrow at 5pm vs. UNC (#1 in the country after taking 2 of 3 from Miami to close the season).

Matusz pitches today against Pepperdine (WCC Championship isn't a tourney, it's a three game series). He might throw again Sunday (if necessary).

Georgia was eliminated from the SEC Tourney last night, so you'll have to wait for Regionals to see G-Bex.

Some of these are broadcast online (I think South Carolina broadcasts all of their games). Fox Sports is covering ACC and SEC games near me. Hope this helps.

I am going to the Posey game today, assuming it doesn't get rained out.

I've been way too drunk and hung over the past two days to post, but here's what Posey did on Wednesday (I have no idea if its been discussed in another thread, so forgive me). He hit two homers against Wake. The second of which was hit to dead center field....which is no small feat since Jacksonville's stadium is 420 to dead center. I've seen over a hundred games in that stadium, and I've never even seen anyone hit a ball off the wall in that part of the park, much less all the way out. It was a ridiculous shot, and Wake's pitcher had shut down the Noles to the tune of 2 runs through 5+ at that point (including Posey's first solo shot).

I'm looking forward to Saturday. I'll be able to watch the tourney games -- Hopefully the ACC games and the Vandy/SC winner Miss game.

Have you been totally surprised by the SEC tourney? UF and UGA eliminated in 2 games? Wow...I was blown away by that (and pleasantly surprised by the former part).

I can try to take some pictures of the Posey and Alonso games if anyone would care to see them. My seats are right behind home plate.

I'd like a look at those pictures. Also, Weeks in the field if you're so inclined ;)

Georgia ran into some stout pitching. I was a little surprised, but it happens every year come post season time. Remember Vandy in Regionals last year?!?!

My guess is still Miami in the ACC; I'm going out on a limb and picking Ole Miss in the SEC (though, as an ND guy, I would love to see Manieri win one at LSU).

Dang, I wish I could be down there. It was nice seeing Yonder make ESPN"s top ten plays with that one blast. This is the best Miami team since 1999/1998. I hope they stay focused.

    • Works for me,  as long as the first piece is a Norby type!  Only one of Ortiz/Westburg/Cowser/Kjerstad should be traded for Cease.  Let them pick one of them and a couple in the 8-15 range then a lottery pick or two if needed.  But giving up 2 of those is to pricy for the return.  I like Cease, but personally value him as a very solid #3 starter.  Sure, he COULD perform better than that,  but I wouldn't bet on it.  Maybe he reverts back to his 2022 form, but I think it more likely that what we get is what we saw from him in 2023, with an improvement in numbers due to the defense behind him. 
    • Exited about this kid and the future of our international signings. We have to remember the initial reporting don’t mean a whole lot. We’ve had success in the 100-500 k range too.
    • Downtown restaurants should like this too.  Much better for any local entertainment venues.
    • Cease is a solid MLB starting pitcher with 2 years of control  who's team has clearly made it known that he's available.  Of course there is a lot of interest.  There is a lot of interest in the Orioles' prospects, as well.  Fans of both teams are hopeful that their team will get maximum value for their assets in any trade.  I'm sure that it is sometimes difficult for GMs to reach a meeting of the minds on a player's value, in which case they need to work out a restructure of the discussed deal that may not include that player.  I think Elias' opinion on Ortiz is likely to be pretty close to what posters on this site are telling you.  If the White Sox GM views Ortiz as you do, it would seem that a deal between the two teams would most likely not have Ortiz included.  I'm sure that isn't all that unusual and the GMs just turn the page and look at working out a trade involving other players/prospects.  What confuses me is that you seem to rate Ortiz lower than we do and lower than the various sites rate him, but would like a trade of Cease for Cowser and Ortiz.  I'm against that deal because I think 2 prospects rated that highly would be an overpay.  It seems to me, you agree.  You simply rate Ortiz lower.  Seems to me that the answer in such an impasse that would make both parties happy would be to replace Ortiz with another prospect that is lower rated than Ortiz -- which would be of equal value in your mind, since you rate Ortiz lower and still think the proposed trade is a fair one.  Make sense?  Maybe replace Ortiz with Norby.
    • I would definitely do Westburg  and Cowser.
    • 100% agree with you.  Especially when you haves waves of prospects coming up behind these guys.
