Some new nuggets this week:

Angelus Novus: How does someone like Mullins go from a 40, maybe 40+ FV to what he is now? It’s crazy, you’d think a little wiry guy like that would be hitting wallscrapers but he really doesn’t. Kinda nuts in late June he’s what, second in WAR?

12:17

Kevin Goldstein: A long time ago, a very smart baseball person told me that we have to remember that players change, often in dramatic and surprising ways in both directions. I think about that all of the time. It happens. ——   Reed: Is Grayson Rodriguez the best pitching prospect right now? 12:19 Kevin Goldstein: Probably not, but he’s in the team photo at least.

——

Sam: With Wander getting the callup, who is your new #1 prospect?

12:30

Kevin Goldstein: Pretty clearly Adley Rutschman, no?   —-   Quarantino Martinez: Do you think the O’s should/will go underslot again this year at the draft or start to look at best available? 12:50 Kevin Goldstein: I think that mostly depends on how the first four picks play out. I’m sure they are preparing for both possibilities.

From the link immediately above:

Jack: Other than Elijiah Greene next year, who are other guys that could go top 3-5?

Kevin Goldstein: Georgia Tech C Kevin Parada and Texas Tech INF Jace Jung come to mind . . .

 

So, we add Davis this year, and Parada next year?  Talk about log jam!
