I will be extremely surprised if Grayson is still in the minors on draft day.  However, it takes 45 days to lose prospect status.  So you are almost undoubtedly right he’ll still be considered a prospect on draft day.

Watching the Perfect game showcase 2021 on YouTube.  It's available as the full broadcast.  Excellent chance to see elite pitchers vs elite hitters.  Dylan Lesko RHP, really smooth mechanics with mid

Lee, Delauter and Jung this weekend should go past (if they haven't already) half the PA they had last year in a full college season. With no adjustment for quality of competition, their OPS race

Well, we disagree.   Obviously all things being equal, I’d prefer a SS to a 2B.   But when I hear “best high school hitter I can ever remember” from a guy like Jim Callis, then to me all things are no

The more I hear people, McDaniel, Law, Callis, Hoefer, etc. talk about Jones, the harder it is to believe that they'll pass on him.  I hope not.  They can play it straight with slots and still have a great draft but they need to go BPA at 1:1, even if it's full slot or close.

I pray you are right. Very little confidence in Elias.

Cam Collier isn't going to be the pick, but he was mentioned as Geoff Pontes' favorite (not best) prospect in the latest BA chat. He's 17 and currently playing in the Cape Cod league...I wonder if looking back on this draft, he's going to have been underrated

(Gunnar by the way was his favorite MiLB player)

Keith Law had Collier as his #2 prospect on his May 5th rankings, so Pontes doesn't seem to be alone.

It'll get interesting if one of Barriera or Lesko drift towards our second pick.

I don't think they'll get there, but I'd love for it to happen. That said, yeah zero chance I'd take a pitcher top 10. It's such a crap shoot

Just to be clear, the point was the risk in prep pitchers in the top 10. There have obviously been a ton of college pitchers from the top 10 that worked out.

I liked this quote by Berriera too:  "I think of it like I'm two guys, a split personality," Barriera said of the dichotomy of sitting out to stay healthy while aiming long-term at increasing his velo. "On the mound, I'm relying on muscle memory and attacking instinctively. If it's before the game, just playing catch, or postgame, doing recovery, I'm a totally different guy, thinking about stuff and analyzing the process. You have to separate them."

Focus on the reps and process during practice and rely on muscle memory in games.

I'm not in favor of high school kids sitting out championship tourneys, but I definitely support HS kids refusing to throw over 100 pitches.  Obviously it's Berriera's choice to make.   I know there are limits on how much college pitchers can throw.  Are there many limits on high school kids pitching around the country?

Friday will also bring a BP session featuring several of the best hitters in the 2022 Draft class. This is the spotlight teenagers Termarr Johnson (No. 4) and Cam Collier (No. 12), among others, have been waiting for, and it's an event no fan will want to miss.

"Termarr Johnson ... he's probably the best high school hitter to come out of the Draft in, it might be 20 years. Just a great swing -- you're going to see how the ball carries," Callis said. "Cam Collier ... he's still just 17. He's going to take BP. He's one of the best hitters in the Draft, too.

Jacob Berry just sat with Harold Reynolds, etc on the MLB Draft Combine telecast, and my main takeaway was when they did his side by side picture with Drew Brees.

Just catching a couple minutes - pitchers are showing their vertical leaps, first basemen are running sprints, Clubs are getting their beloved Data.

      Anthony Santander 2024

      By wildcard · Posted

      Right now I see the pitching staff as.  Eflin, GRod, Suarez, Kremer and one of Povich, Rogers, McDermott and Young.  All of the 5th starters have options so they can be on the shuttle if needed.   Bradish and Wells may come back in the 2nd half. Pen:  Bautista, Cano, Coulombe, Dominguez, Soto, Akin, Perez, Webb and Bowman.   Yes that is 9 but someone is normally injured.   I will not be surprised if the O's protect Nick Anderson and bring him to camp in case of injuries.    Akin has an option next year. That is 20 pitchers. Will Elias look to improve over the winner? Sure but with the 5th starters being able to either start or be a long man in the pen the O's begin the off season with volume on the pitching staff.

      If you're going to make this a WAR/OPS/OPS+ debate, sure, he's not the best offensive player right now.  But then again his power/speed combination makes him tough to beat. Best talent ever because of the ability to pitch, yes.  That's the point I was making.  Not only to pitch, but to be dominant on the hill, too.

      I think Mullins is as set as the entire lineup, but he would have to go if Elias chased the Robert upgrade. Getz already navigated the 3-team thing when he wanted Dodgers Latin kids, and the Dodgers didn't feel Erick Fedde was the caliber of pitcher they wanted to deploy. I do like Santander as a Victor Martinez aficionado, but he and Kjerstad are both RF profiles and, holy Rio Ruiz Batman, the handpicked kid has to play.    This is one of those calculations where the 80% as good for 20% of the cost part is easy, even if Kjerstad never achieves the heights Santander is at now. There's still room to hope Kjerstad is all Santander is and more, but even if he isn't, the team needs the Santander salary slot repurposed to pitching more than it needs him. I think after this summer's moves, we got a fair bit of information if Elias is trading Cowser/Kjerstad for pitching...looking like he isn't.

      I think you can argue he’s the best talent ever because of his ability to pitch. As an offensive player, he’s not the best player right now.

      Age, body type, how he plays(strengths/weaknesses) and what we have depth at, in terms of high end talent, coming up behind him. And yes, we should be out on most key FAs because they are largely terrible investments.

      Who is going to end up the best career catcher? Wieters or Rutschmann.

      By Can_of_corn · Posted

      I'd say that overall his defense has also been down this year.

      Your point is entirely valid. Just because Tony is better than Trumbo was means nothing, because Trumbo was a catastrophe. It was just beyond comprehension that they kept putting him in the field. That said, Santander is still ok. Diminished range, but a good glove and arm. However, they avoided the problem with Nelson Cruz in Seattle and Minnesota by just putting him designated hitter, so that’s a possibility for Santander, if he can maintain solid contact. But not here. Let’s take the pick and use it on pitching, please.
