BA's list per Steve Melewski:

I haven’t seen the list outside the top 5 since I’m not a subscriber, but I’d pick Lucas Long over their #3 Mason McCullough who has no control and a terrible delivery.

Melewski quoted the wrong article - here is the 2017 list which more coincides with yours (but he still has my boy Mason McCullough) and doesn't go below five which you have seen:

I didn’t click Melewski’s link because I’d already seen the 5 that weren’t behind the paywall.  

I’m sure the list is really good, JJ Cooper is one of the better writers they have, I just don’t see it with McCullough. I’m lower on Coshow for the same reason, control issues that didn’t really improve when he was moved to the bullpen, his delivery has a chance to work though I think.

Yeah - I couldn't see behind the paywall either - too bad.  But we shall see tomorrow how prescient you were anyway.  Thanks again for all you bring here!

It’ll be interesting to see how it plays out, I’ll be happy if I have over 50% of the draftees on my list.

Glad you all enjoy my little articles.

With all this talk of the O’s taking a LH reliever, I just hope it’s Jordan Guerrero and they’ll just convert him from a starter to reliever.  None of the Lefty relievers stand out to me, plus a lot of good relievers were former starters anyways.

    • No one is trading anything close to that for Crochet. But I agree..spend money, not prospects.
    • That's some high standards.  Sinker ball types are always going to have higher FIPs and lower K rates.  The truth is, Quintana is probably out of our price range.  That price range is probably no more than the standard Lyles/Gibson/Kimbrel/Frazier price range until otherwise seen.   Back to Quintana, I think he's the type of guy that if healthy could be a real weapon for us with our home ballpark and a home playoff game if we ever get deep into a series.  
    • That's really the role/opening for next year that we need.  A RHH OF that could play some CF preferably.  Although, I'd lean more to and offensive minded portion of that versus the ability to play CF.  LF is big though at home. I think it's a role that Elias fills through trade, waivers, or maybe even a competition of milb deal types.  Like a RH Sam Hilliard type.  
    • Yeah, he would be good in the Austin Slater role if he was willing to accept it. Not sure that he would be quite as good defensively in CF, given that he has played fewer than 100 innings total in CF since 2021. I highly doubt that he is ready to accept a role as a platoon player though, given that he is not yet 30, and he was an above average starter by rWAR from 2021-23. I doubt he is tendered a contract, given his $6M 2024 salary. His best bet is probably to sign a one year deal with a team that doesn't hope to compete, to attempt to reestablish himself as an everyday player, while the team that signs him can hope to flip him at the trade deadline.
    • I agree. He’d be a great regular season fit in Cinncy’s ballpark. Maybe that confidence of knowing he can hit the ball out to LF at home covers up his other decencies.  As for Crochet… can’t we just resign Burnes?  Crochet would probably cost Holliday, Basallo, and Mayo. Didn’t the deadline teach us the cost of pitching? I’m for trading Mountcastle. I’d hope we can surround the young hitters with a Burnes led staff with adding a vet bat to the DH/1B mix. Other than that, I think we will roll with what we have. And we should. 
    • Hays will want to start somewhere. He shouldn't start for us. We don't want him sitting on the bench looking dejected while Kjerstad and Cowser are mashing bombs onto Eutaw Street.
