Don't think I agree. It does sound to me like they're so reliant on their data that they're hamstrung when Covid offers less data on high school guys. It also sounds like they're more comfortable in h

“Dylan has been magnificent all year,” Williams said after Heid threw a 1-0 shutout to win for the seventh time in eight decisions this season. “He’s been in double-digit strikeouts every game. The only game he lost, we lost 2-0. He’s just been phenomenal. He deserves everything he’s getting.

“He’s getting a lot of notice. There have been scouts checking him out all year,” Williams added. “He’s already been invited to a couple pre-draft workouts. I think he has a good shot (of being drafted).”

He played in the MLB Draft League...I don't have stats for that, but I assume he did well.

Holy cow Sean Forman is a marvel.   I'm used to having to scrape Perfect Game or Baseball Cube for small college stats, but kudos to him for having a page for an Orioles 11th round pick on the spot.

Anyway, as we start selecting some pitchers that match our peculiar taste, I kind of guess many of them are going to be official Kyle Bradish high arm angle, four seam angle of attack practitioners.

Last postseason, the telecasts had fun with the graphic about all the different arm angles from the Rays pen, and I'd be curious to see the same today of the Orioles pitching selections.

Dylan Heid, RHP, Pitt Johnstown: Heading into the summer, Heid was likely the DII alum who was going to be drafted the highest. However, he has since entered the transfer portal despite still hoping to go pro. He’s a big righty, listed at 6’2 and 205 pounds and has a 94-96 mph fastball that led to 105 strikeouts in 59.1 innings for the Mountain Cats. He then went on to the MLB Draft League where his fastball was frequently listed among the best pitches of week. Heid tossed 18 innings in the MLB Draft League, striking out 35 and allowing just one earned run. Throw in a slider and changeup, along with a loose arm that doesn’t require much effort and you have a stud pitcher in the making.

Don't have a problem with this pick on the surface, but do have a bit of a problem with it in the context of the rest of the draft. If we didn't have so much apparent money available for rounds 11-20, he's a nice choice at 11 given his K numbers and success in a SSS in the draft league.

If it's true that we have a deal or two and are ready to pull the trigger, the question is just when. For the O's, they might be targeting a couple of "still available" guys and then pull the trigger on the guys they have deals with.

To me, this looks like a bit of an over slot pick. Not massive, but the transfer portal stuff tells me this guy thinks he has a little leverage.

      Santander does exactly ONE thing very well: Hit HRs He doesn't hit for average, he doesn't get on base, he's a very slow runner, and he is a very poor defender. If he stops hitting HRs so often, his value completely evaporates and his contract basically becomes dead money, and the Orioles cannot afford to eat large amounts of dead money like the Dodgers, Mets, and Yankees of the world. I am simply using Trumbo, whose basic tool kit is very similar to Santander's, as a fairly recent, Orioles-related cautionary tale. Trumbo had his big walk year with the Orioles at age 30 and instead of doing the smart, obvious thing and taking the free draft pick, we gave him a big money extension that everyone except the FO knew was probably going to end poorly. Baseball Savant has Santander in the 22nd percentile in terms of overall fielding value. However you want to slice it, he isn't going to make up any lost value from declining offense with his defense. If his ability to slug goes south, the whole contract goes with it, because he has no other tools to make up for that with.

      Santander is -2 OAA this year. He’s averagish to below average. There but there are much worse defensive right fielders such as Adolis Garcia and Castellanos -9, Lane Thomas and Renfroe -8, and Soto -4. Acuna and Tatis are also -2 OAA.  In 2016, Mark Trumbo was -15 OAA. They’re not even in the same universe.

      Anthony Santander (age 27-29): .245 / .317 / .477 / .794    124 OPS+   9.0 rWAR Mark Trumbo (age 27-29): .244 / .299 / .443 / .742   105 OPS+  2.6 rWAR Is it really very meaningful that Trumbo was the better player when they were significantly younger? 29-year-old Santander is a better player by miles than Trumbo at the same age, and he has been for years. I think that’s what matters most to how you’d project them over the next few years.

      I love Tony and I honestly think we are gonna miss his veteran leadership as much as anything. I’m very happy we have him for this year. But I do think he’d be a bad long term investment.

      He’s the best player in history. No one can convince me otherwise.  I didn’t say he has the most records or the most counting stats or the most MVPs. That’s not what I said.  He’s just the best player in baseball history.

      Trumbo was a DH impersonating a fielder, Santander is just a very poor fielder. It's not a perfect comp (is there really even such a thing?) but he is an absolutely relevant comp for this team in this situation. He is the poster child for why taking the draft pick and moving on is the right choice. And Santander is still a bad fielder, just not quite Trumbo-tier.

      To this end I feel like we always had a pretty short leash with him. From the first three starts as an oriole to the yo-yo-ing this year. I would have preferred we just left him in the #5 starter role and see what happened. And maybe he’ll get that opportunity elsewhere like you said, whereas here it always seemed like his role was changing.
