I've been waiting for this draft day for over a year. We went with the consensus number one, so I'm happy. I haven't been this excited about the Orioles since the 2016 wild card game, almost three years ago.

It does look like that they got the cornerpiece of their rebuild. The media at least is all over this.

Elias said they would go best player available all day today, even if that meant not picking any pitchers, though he does expect to pick some.   https://www.masnsports.com/steve-melewski/2019/06/mike-elias-on-day-one-and-the-os-first-three-draft-picks.html

I assume Elias means best player available that is willing to sign. I cant see anyway possible that we take Allen or Leiter, because they will definitely command overslot money.

By the way, I watched a lot of the draft show. Just my opinion but I wasn't impressed with Witt's video or his physique.  Abrams looked like a slap hitter.  Vaughn's swing was impressive but he's one dimensional.  I think, far and away, we got the best player.

I think what was shown makes those points. I'm happy with the choice.

Most of the prep names that look like amazing value here are simply unsignable at this point.

0%

Hampton

Leiter

Lee

10% but not sure if the O’s could swing it considering Henderson is probably overslot to some degree.

Allan

Jones

Barco

Osmond

I heard that Allan is a Boras client. So, probably not going to be anywhere near his ballpark, no?

You mentioned Dalquist as a pontential signability issue guy before but not here.  Is he more of a 50/50 guy?  Or did you just skip him.

Would Noah Song be a good value pick in the 3rd round? Save money as he is a senior, and his value may be even lower with the 2 years of required military service.  Develop him as a reliever when he begins his career in two years.   This way he could move faster and jump right into the action right around the time we are starting to win again. We can use that saved money try to sign another HS talent

Gets some movement on the fb & the hook is nasty, looks like he could be the best pitcher (perhaps top 2) in mlb history if he has Adley calling games. 

 

 

that is an easy looking arm.  I like that.  His mechanics could be cleaned up a little, but he's still throwing easy gas.

He’s going to be overslot here, but I think he’s signable if you can find the money and shouldn’t be quite as pricey as the guys I list.

      DH - O'Hearn v. Kjerstad

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      There’s a good chance McCann starts game one with Burnes. Big roster. We can always move Adley from DH to C late in the game. Lose the DH, but have a big enough bench to just pinch hit and double switch to hide the pitcher’s spot coming up.  So really we’d only be sacrificing 2 ABs from O’Hearn/Mounty/Kjerstad but we get Burnes throwing to his boy every pitch.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      We would have lost last night regardless due to zero runs scored by the offense. It is worrisome that Cano looked awful in back to back games. After talk about arm soreness. He has been the one reliable guy. Once we fell behind I don't really care how bad Bowman and Baker are. Hopefully they don't even make the roster for the playoffs.

      Don’t sleep on Povich getting a chance to eliminate the team that traded him away. That kind of stuff matters. The little extra…

      I do worry about the McCann start although he has been hitting lately, so maybe you can justify it.

      It’s the 7th inning with Burnes or Eflin on the bump. A tough lefty is coming up. Who you bringing in?  Perez or Coloumbe?

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By Warehouse · Posted

      My thoughts: - I agree that the Achilles heel is the bullpen and not the offense (especially with Westburg, Mountcastle, Urias, and Kjerstad back). - I also agree that Perez is overused in high leverage situations. This is going to come down to the degree you expect his “clutch” performance to be predictive going forward.  - I second the notion that most good bullpens are built with some degree of dumpster diving.  If you go back to offseason threads, there were not many desired bullpen FA targets (outside of unrealistic ones like Hader) that would have worked out well.  Maybe we haven’t “dumpster dived” well enough as evidenced by the success of Kaleb Ort in Houston. - Jacob Webb hasn’t been sharp since returning from the IL and Bowman has looked shaky his last few times out. - We don’t have a true closer, only a group of mostly effective set-up men in Dominguez, Cano, and Coulombe. - Part of me wishes they would be more aggressive with G-Rod and the Mountain. While we expect the team to continue to contend, you never really know how many times you’ll be back in the playoffs. However, I know in my head they are probably making the right decision. - I also feel like they should be auditioning McDermot, Selby, Young, or Strowd (who has been very good since August after rough Norfolk start). They could option Baker who I think is unlikely to have a path to trusted status after last year’s ALDS performance. This feeling may be mostly driven by dissatisfaction with the current state and wanting something better.  It might be unrealistic to expect options unproven at the MLB level to suddenly step in and be key playoff pieces.

      DH - O'Hearn v. Kjerstad

      By waroriole · Posted

      Oh if we’re talking about what they will do, I can see it being something stupid like McCann at C and Adley at DH. I do think Mullins has enough veteranosity to outweigh Hyde’s obsession with L/R matchups.
