Orange and black work for him.

“I think it’s awesome,” he said. “It seems like I can’t get out of an orange and black jersey. Ever since Little League. I played for the Orioles in Little League. Funny story. From there to Oregon State and then the Giants and Milwaukee, which was the blue and white, and then back to black and orange.

“Me and my wife made a joke about it the other day. But I love it here, man. Everyone’s cool and it’s been an easy, smooth transition so far.”

Former top prospect. Played with franchise that’s won multiple WS recently. Plays a position where there isn’t a lot of depth in MLB. Has an option. Changed his swing. 

What’s not to like about this guy?  We’ve done a lot worse over the years at even the backup C spot. Let alone the 3rd or 4th guy on the depth chart.

I have a good feeling about Susac. He might not hit as well as Sisco but I'm gonna bet he is going to be a better overall contributor this year.

    • Now if someone could find a list of Boras clients with respect to their WAR, that would be interesting. Pre FA and after.
    • Eric Longenhagen's chat today on Ethan mentions a flaw that EL regards as so damaging as to reduce him to mid 1st round. 12:45 Refugee: Appreciate your insight on Over-Slot recently. Do you consider Ethan Holliday’s swing flaw being identified this early something that works for (he’s not even 18 yet) or against him? 12:45 Eric A Longenhagen: Fugee is talking about this podcast appearance: Ep. 125: Jim Callis and Eric Longenhagen join the show. A Draft Lottery Preview. | Patreon 12:47 Eric A Longenhagen: I’m not sure it’s correctable, I think his hands just work in a way that leaves him very vulnerable to many fastballs up/away. I have him more middle of the first round. 72% contact guy on the showcase circuit, hit .240 and slugged .380 when you add up his entire multi-year showcase sample. Love the raw power potential, don’t think the performance merits a top 5 pick. But the Colorado/Holliday connection and Washington’s willingness to take guys like Elijah Green looms.    
    • I'm fine with Castillo but I would like another piece too whether it's Buhler, Manea or another trade like Montgomery who won't cost any big prospects one would think. I sure hope they won't be satisfied with just Castillo as he isn't as good as Burnes. If Baltimore is losing a TOR and not replacing him with a TOR then make the rotation as deep as possible so we don't see another situation like last season. 
    • Exactly   Let it play out and judge the postseason when it is complete.   Being made at Elias for something you think he might fail to do is... kind of silly.
    • It will be interesting to watch all the outfield results from Santander/Teoscar down to Hays. Whether you like the play or not, locking down a Boras client to be a market setter rather than a follower was an aggressive move. 50 for O'Neill looks better if Santander actually commands the 5 years reports are tonight he's seeking.    Maybe the market is so healthy Dombrowski miscalculated and the gift of early free agency is a windfall for Hays.
    • I'm not expert on that.  So I remain open to hearing anyone's disputes regarding my projections, but I did my best to project a fair, median ground for the collective. It would be nice if Frobby was here to check my work.
    • Any flexibility for AR and TON leaving, would almost certainly be eaten up by the increases in the other guys' Arb salaries.  And you're also walking into Gunnar's last season of control, so has he been extended?  Or do you trade him? I'm not saying you can't sign Burnes.  But I am saying if you want to keep payroll under 200 mil, and still be a competitive team, he better be pitching at a high level for the salary he's projected to be making.
