It's not surprising that the draft is looking different than many mock boards due to the lack of 2020 data to go off of due to the lack of games to evaluate.
Elias is clearly not afraid to go with a guy with one plus plus tool (power) which is a bit surprising for the #2 overall pick. His hit tool is probably plus as well, but the K-BB ratio prior to his short junior year makes him a bit of question mark when he has to face professional pitching on a nightly basis.
Elias and his guys h
There are plenty of teams that suspect they will contend and will prefer an earlier deal to have the player longer. So, in some cases you might get more. Of course, in other cases waiting could create a deadline frenzy.
Unless injuries force your hand and your AAA staff is hot dog water, bullpen games should only ever be the day before a scheduled day off.
I don't know what Schneider was thinking doing a bullpen game for game 2 of a 4 game series.
If the Orioles made that kind of big contract offer & Adley turns it down ?
Then Elias should sell him at trade deadline with a year and half control left . Or let Adley finish his deal and apply QO tag on him . They dont need another Joe Mauer/ Buster Posey deadweight.
I think the Jays can easily even this series...Berrios is excellent , and Kukuchi is a good pitcher too...we wont have our best arms pitching against those two...so Id be very happy to win one of those two...
