I am not sure either. I kept laughing at it. Had to play it back to make sure I heard it right.

I asked Baseball America and didn't get a reply.

Anyone think that Hays had the fastest trip to the majors of any third round pick?

I think he should be in for position players, I wouldn't be shocked if a bullpen guy taken in the third round might have had a quicker trip.

What was the term Syd Thrift used years ago? Country Roundcat?

The answer to your question is no. I don't know who was the fastest call-up of any 3rd round pick ever, but I do know that the Orioles called up Jeff Fiorentino on May 12, 2005, after drafting him in the 3rd round in 2004.

That's plenty good enough.

I knew he got called up very fast but had forgotten he was a third round selection.

You're boy! I had forgoten about all that...

No in all serious I wish he had succeeded, seemed like a really nice guy and the kind of guy you'd want on the O's.

As an aside, the third round has been a great round for the Orioles historically.    Eddie Murray and Zach Britton were both third rounders.

I had no idea Jeff was drafted that high. Never remembered that.

IS he on his way?

 

Acuna won the award.    Not too surprising.

In related news, although he is still playing decent baseball, Nick Markakis' days as Atlanta's starting RF are numbered, given Acuna's likely promotion to the majors next year.   I expect he'll be on the trade block.

So salary dump for salary dump possibilities. 

Markakis for O'day?
