My Initial take:
Looks like Elias is going with someone who can move quickly through the minors and be able to get and produce at the major league level quickly. While scouting takes on Cowser are a bit all over the place, he's a three year producer even though his conference is not very strong. He appears to be a high OBP guy with some pop and speed and even if Mullins is still center, he would like real good in Camden Yards spacious left field.
He appears to b a lower risk guy thoug
I have to think the defensive metrics favor Gunnar over Judge by leaps and bounds. Judge plays center by default, due to the makeup of the NY roster. On the vast majority of teams he's a corner outfielder. Gunnar is an above average defensive SS who'd stick at that position on at least 26 out of 30 MLB teams.
Now on pace for 11.9 WAR this season. That would be the highest single season total since Bonds in 2001 or Clemens in 1997. It would be the highest by a non-roider since Dwight Gooden in 1985.
I don't know if an O's prospect has made me this tingly in quite awhile.
Maybe when Bundy was tearing up the minors. I'm just salivating thinking about a Troy Glaus-esque bat in the middle of this order.
Well, maybe Mauer with Power.
