Termarr Johnson the new #1 on this report.  Elijah Green, who was #2, did not fare as well this summer.  In high level tournament play, Johnson was 14 for 34 for .411 average while Green was 16 for 59 which is .249 average with 26 K's....

 

Green may have tools galore, but the contact rate really concerns me...    I'm moving him down my list and am now in on Termarr Johnson.   He's probably a 2nd baseman going forward, but I'm ok with that.

I wonder if Johnson could move quickly for a high schooler. That write up is quite nice, and physically he looks like a major leaguer already. I’m a fan.

Best HS bat in the draft, and most experts feel one of the best HS bats in a very long time.   Green has by far superior tools, and will be an elite outfielder, but Johnson is the better hitter with much better contact ability.   I love the idea....  I'm not sure he'd go much under slot, though...

I've watched him a ton...  dare I say shades of Tony Gwynn?   But with more power!

If he is in a class of his own a la Adley was, let’s hope under slot isn’t a concern. I’m extremely excited to watch amateur ball this spring.

2022 MLB Draft - Top 200 Prospects — Prospects Live

 

I posted this a month ago.  Check out his swing at No. 7.

 

 

Does it depend how he profiles defensively?  If he's 2B or 3B, that's a harder sell as #1, very easy sell if he can stick at SS.  I like Dru Jones for his profile of his dad pretty much, maybe with more speed.

I'm not a fan of Termarr's body type.  I think his bat would have to be pretty incredible to be considered for the first pick.

It seems like there’s nobody even worthy of 1:1 this year. Maybe someone stands out in the spring, but I’m thinking there’s a great chance we see an under slot signing to give us a lot of money to spend on our other two Top 40 picks. 

IF  Termarr is actually a full grade ahead of everyone else in the draft class you have your worthy of a 1:1.  No way I give up a full grade to go underslot.

    • Frustrating sure, but boring is not what I would I say. We do steal bases at times. I would like for us to play more small ball sometimes and it is frustrating to see us be so homerun happy. I think with Westy back, we will see a resurgence of timely hitting as that is very contagious.   We saw that at the beginning of the year. Amazing sight to see for sure. I think the most disheartening thing that really shocked me is the apathy and outright disgust I’ve seen from O’s fans toward their team. Perhaps we have been spoiled? No idea. Maybe expectations were too high? No idea, but frankly, a lot of yall focusing on other things and simply not watching/posting would make next season a lot more enjoyable. This is the first time since 96-97 where we make the playoffs in back to back years and you guys have been acting like some real lame jerks this whole dang season. Frankly, yall should be ashamed of yourselves. We are an incredibly young team and with that come highs and lows, but yall don’t see that. You just love to complain and moan and bloviate. Where’s the heart? Where’s the loyalty? Where’s the gratitude? You’d think with all this team has overcome, especially being so young, y’all would be happy, but no. So go off on your little bike rides or whatever. Go watch a movie if this saga seems boring to you. I don’t care. Just for once this season, keep your immense negativity to yourself.
    • Really an amazing run, 4 straight years. I completely agree with the ranking, too. There's no way Kjerstad is still a prospect though, right? 45 days is the cutoff and he's played in 48 games.
    • i think we all are going to have ptsd from that 9th inning for a while,it was that brutally bad . they need to do some special to get us to forget about it
    • wow,did gunnar and adley have to do this last season? 
    • I suggested that earlier but I think it's probably a bad play with no out. The O's have like 85% probability of scoring. There is a huge downside risk of Mullins popping up the bunt for a double play. He could also whiff on the bunt making at least Holliday an easy out. With one out and only 65% probability of scoring it's a much better play. I think if Santander and Mullins were reversed in the lineup Hyde may have done it but not when you have two shots to get the run in. 
    • WE GOT US ONE - JD5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    • Completely disagree about Orr. He will be fine. His defense has been better in its first few games compared to McDonald’s first few games.     And some of these big passing stats are over exaggerated. There have been mistakes for sure.
