If he’s truly elite defensively, then I’m fine with this pick.   We need to get back to playing great defense.

I'd watched some Oregon State games before the draft, but never really noticed Grenier with all the other high end talent on the team.  So I watched the OSU game yesterday specifically to watch Grenie

That Kevin Abel kid looks pretty good too.

The player to actually keep a close eye on is the Oregon St freshman catcher Adley Rutschman. He was named the College World Series MVP. He is a switch hitter being favorably compared to Buster Posey (no, not Matt Wieters). He is a stud athlete who also is the place kicker on the Oregon St football team. Many are projecting him to be a Top 5, if not the top overall pick in next year's draft.

Don't forget Freshman Pitcher Kevin Abels who the manager tried to pitch the arm off.

129 pitches in the last game, pitched an inning the day prior, pitched over 300 pitches in the last 10 days.

Stuff like this is what I was talking about earlier in the week.

That's who I was responding about in my initial post on Rutschman. I don't believe Abel will be eligible for the draft next year. Abel was drafted by the Padres in the 35th round of the 2017 draft. The Orioles will definitely have a Top 5 pick next year, if not the #1 overall pick and Rutschman will definitely be in the conversation for the Orioles pick next year.

Fun facts:

Grenier, a native of Henderson, Nev., graduated from the famed Bishop Gorman High School in Las Vegas, the same alma mater of recent major leaguers Joey Rickard (Orioles) and Joey Gallo(Rangers), as well as nine-year major league veteran and 1995 American League Rookie of the Year Marty Cordova.

Not in starting lineup - not sure if he arrived:

      I have a feeling we’ll see a lot of the starters pulled mid-game.

      End of season melancholy

      By Frobby · Posted

      I usually post the lyrics of Paul Simon’s Night Game on the last day of the season, but it doesn’t really fit for a team going to the playoffs.   So I’ll wait, and hopefully never have occasion to post it.

      Why pitch Suarez today instead of yesterday?   That makes no sense to me.

      Can Cowser still win Rookie of The Year over Gil/Wells ?

      By Frobby · Posted

      Please don’t compare OAA and dWAR.  OAA and dWAR are not comparable stats.  First of all, OAA is measured in outs, while dWAR is measured in wins.   That’s a very different scale.   Second, OAA is not adjusting for difficulty of position, while dWAR contains a significant adjustment for position.   Third, OAA measures range but doesn’t measure the throwing aspect of being an outfielder.   If you want to compare apples to apples (and I assume you do), Statcast has a statistic called Fielding Runs Value that converts OAA plus the throwing aspect into runs.   Cowser has a +10 FRV, which as the names implies, is measured in runs.  FRV feeds directly into the fWAR calculation, along with a factor that adjusts for difficulty of position, which for Cowser is measured at -4.1 runs.   Meanwhile, rWAR uses Defensive Runs Saved (DRS), which is directly comparable to FRV.  Cowser has a +3 DRS, not as good as his +10 FRV.   Those are the comparable stats, and the 7 run difference converts to about 0.7 WAR. That’s the main difference between Cowser’s 4.1 fWAR and 3.2 rWAR. I see that after Gil’s poor performance yesterday, Cowser now leads him in both rWAR (3.2 to 3.1) and fWAR (4.1 to 2.2).   So, I like Cowser’s chances.

      I'm the opposite.  I don't want him sitting too much and getting into his own head.

      2024 Dodgers

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Our key players aren't ready to uphold their part of the deal yet, but the Peak Orioles Teams sometime this decade against these Dodgers before they get too old would be an amazing matchup.      I've only gotten to watch most of a Dodgers game the past week or so, and one of the impressions even though they are HOF and still near the very best is that Freddie and Mookie are fraying some as time continues its unbeaten streak. I think we're the likeliest club of any of the 29 others to be able to out-talent the Dodgers anytime soon.
