I am content with that and drafting a bunch of high upside college relievers.  I don’t think they normally sign for above slot.  They can move fast too.  

This is a demographic I'm watching too.   It probably won't be this draft, but if/when it happens, it'll be a clue the front office sees the team a year away.   I think the best relief prospects each year probably figure into the next fall's MLB bullpens.

I think we'll take someone that a lot of people whine about. I'm declaring myself the winner here.  I'm not wrong.

Very curious to see how this draft plays out, more so than previous drafts.  No consensus #1 seems to mean there's a lot of volatility.

Lawlar.      Elias will go full slot to get a true SS like Lawlar.

It's kinda weird to see people saying they wanted to see Rocker dominate more - when his stats are clearly dominant.  When push comes to shove, I'd probably pick him if I was running the O's.  I still think they use the Cowser strategy and get O's fans angry.

I think there is growing unease since we have gone as long and the progress has been so slow.  But I am pretty optimistic about tonight and this draft.  I listed my order of the top 8 or so picks the other day and said I would be happy with whatever Elias thinks is best of those people.  I haven't changed.

I am warmer today on Rocker and Davis and colder on Cowser, but again, I feel like the O's have done the homework and will get us some talent.  I am looking forward to finding out who it is.

I will preemptively say Love the pick!!!  Ha ha cause if it's a curveball like last year, the SIGHTF.

If we're going to keep suffering through these awful 100+ loss teams to get high picks... I'd at least like to pick someone worthy of a top 5 spot.  I hated what Elias did last year.

 

There is no real number 1 this year. Law was just saying he wouldn’t mind Pirates going with Cowser under slot because the top isn’t really high but the draft is deep

      AL playoff picture

      100%! I say abolish divisions, play a fully balanced schedule and take the top 4 or 6 or 8 or whatever teams in each league to the playoffs.

      The question was asked, a few months ago, whether winning the division was necessary. A lively debate resulted, some saying the division didn’t matter(“just make the playoffs and anything can happen”) and some taking the opposite view. I wanted the Division and I’m disgusted the play has been so bad. And I haaaate the Yankees( sports hate. I’m sure they are all great guys in person.) It will not magically improve, and I despair of winning more than two more games…not even 90 wins. And in a Homer–prone park, how many homers will the Os give up? The thought is not comforting. And there’s little reason to think things will improve against the Tigers or Royals. But at least: 1) next year they will hopefully have Bautista and the position players healthy. 2) The farm has very few MLB-ready players so there won’t be so much bouncing back and forth. Hopefully the guys can settle in and just play. 3) the Os will be looking for a fourth consecutive winning season, which hasn’t happened since the 70s So there’s that…

      I need to be a better fan

      By Greg Pappas · Posted

      I was about to post a similar thread, but despite my memory issues, I recalled this thread.  I still find myself enjoying sports less and less.  The issue is not my teams, but myself.  It's a sad reality that I'm bothered when my team doesn't win, or does win, but wins in a way that is not how I wanted them to!  LOL!  It's ridiculous.  Frankly, I'm somewhat ashamed. The O's are very likely going to the playoffs.  But instead of being happy about that, I'm more concerned with how awful we've been and how little I expect from them as the post-season draws near.  A real fan loves his team and sticks with them, through thick and thin.  It's absolutely okay to be critical, even frustrated, at times, but when those are the default and dominant expressions, it makes me feel... less than.  It's like this with all my favorite teams (O's/Ravens/Terps).  It's therapeutic, in a way, to reveal such truths.  But the quest to find a way to enjoy sports again, to enjoy what my teams are doing, is a process that is taking longer than I'd hoped.

      How "fired up" are you with this Yankee series?

      By Frobby · Posted

      I wouldn’t say I’m fired up.  I’d like to do enough to (1) win the season series (which only takes one win), (2) clinch a playoff spot (which probably only takes one win, depending what other teams do, and (3) improves our chances of getting the no. 4 seed (which might take a couple of wins, depending how other teams do).

      It feels like a foregone conclusion that the O’s sneak in with the third wild card spot and then lose the wild card series. So it just doesn’t really matter all that much what happens from here on out.    Then again, get hot at the right time and this could still be a World Series contender. I have to see some fire in this team before I entertain that thought though.

      I am not really fired up per se.  I am just hoping that something happens that is different than what we have seen for months.  A late comeback to win the game.  A big inning of 4 runs or more.  Some big hits from Adley or Holliday.   1 win means we win the season series against everyone in the East for the second year in a row.  That would be great.  And even if we lose, I am hoping that watching the Yankees celebrate in front of them and the fans celebrate around them fires them up.

      I feel like I asked once years ago, but can someone please explain the acronym “MFY?”
