I forgot we have 2 other top 40 picks.  We might have to take someone a bit underslot to afford them all....   That would steer me more toward one of the top college guys...

Or, you know, pay them slot....

You don't see a ton of guys going in rounds 1-2 getting overslot deals.

You think Cedric and Termarr have the same body type?

Yea, they don’t. It looks like Termarr is gonna have to work to keep his weight down as he’s 17 and already built like an NFL running back. Whereas I imagine Cedric has to work to keep his weight up.

Cedric Mullins is listed at 5'8 175

Termarr Johnson is listed at 5'8 180.

 

Obviously, this may not be accurate- he definitely looks stockier in the pictures, I'd agree...

If mullins's number hasn't been updated since the draft, that's still him as a 20-y.o.

Johnson's number is as a 17-y.o.

Very much a non-negligible difference

This is a good video to see more of Termarr.  He's got some big meaty thighs and little calves.  He also carries weight in his upper body around his mid-section.  Just strikes me as someone that will be predisposed to being heavier and never super lean or athletic.  Now, maybe that's not super important in baseball, but for a potential 1-1 pick?  I'd prefer some great athleticism to fall back on.

Best pure hitter in the draft per Jim Callis is LSU 3B Sophomore Jacob Berry.  Here is a write up by D1Baseball.

The leader of this trio and our No. 1 overall prospect is Jacob Berry (LSU), who slashed .352/.439/.676 as a true freshman at Arizona last spring. Berry also raked his way through the USA Collegiate National Team’s summer schedule with a .387/475/.871 slash, showing a polished approach with big-time power from both sides of the plate. A switch-hitter, Berry is similar to Bobby Bonilla in that he’s a threat to hit for both average and power from both sides of the plate. Spencer Torkelson went 1-1 as a first baseman in 2020 and with another big season at the plate, Berry could as well.”

Does this mean Berry doesn't project to be a 3B?

    • 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.
