Well first of all, I have never said that the minors are failing.   It’s just a lie and completely made up.  
 

Lowther and Smith aren’t doing good.  Perhaps looking up their stats should happen for ya?

Bautista has been good..at age 26.  I like him though.  We will see how it translates up here.

I like Baumann and Bradish.

Im one of the few people on here that expects the team to contend in 2023.  I obviously like a lot of what they are doing but they still need to do it and this team and the product we have to watch right now is embarrassing and shouldn’t be this level bad.

Aren't doing well.

When you're getting $8M, $300K is nothing. Adley also knew Orioles was rebuilding and likely his quickest ticket to the Majors. IMO

If Rutschman were drafted by a contender, he'd be an established MLer by now. It's only because of the slow rebuild that he's still in the minors.

IMHO, Rutschman did not wow during his first season of pro-ball. He only started performing this year. I admit, he should've been promoted to Norfolk much sooner than now, but I also read somewhere they didn't want to put him on a losing team without any pitching (MLB).

Saying Adley took an under slot deal is technically true. It is not in the common usage for draft talk, and in that way it is kinda silly to say it. All 1-1 picks have signed under slot, I believe, under the current CBA. Adley was the BPA.

You are incorrect.

He’s played in 122 minor league games. How on Earth could Adley be an established MLer by now?

It is entirely possible he would have been up sometimes last season.

Would you say Luis Robert isn't an established ML player?

I guess you could make the case he isn't.  I'd say he is.

Well, his rival for 1-1 from his draft year hits in the middle of the order most days for a division leader, and has managed these monthly splits, despite the crippling handicap of a mere 55 minor league games.

55 games or 87 games does not make an established major leaguer IMO. There are many examples of players who started their careers hot and never amounted to much. Heck, the rookie of the year lists are full of “who was that guy?” Players. 

OK.

Well, we’ve got Fangraphs and MLB Pipeline saying no. 1, BA saying no. 2.   Folks can quibble with it, but it’s hard to deny we have a top level farm system right now.   It’s pretty skewed towards the position players though.

    • While I agree and find your comment funny, maybe just say something along the line of”Don’t give up on this team” or “Quite being Debbie downers” instead of assuming they are projecting the own misery in their lives. People might take it better if it doesn’t feel like a personal attack. Either way, that win felt good and I HOPE this is finally the turning point going into the playoffs soon. 
    • I've made it clear that if they don't sign Santa and Burnes I'm ok with it as long as the money is allocated to other players they feel that fits their profile better .You know you have people on here like SG who only hears what he wants to hear. I need to learn to ignore that guy. 
    • Oh mr know it all. Who most times is wrong. Lol
    • I also think Santander will age better than Trumbo, despite my repeated comparisons of the two players. But I don't know that he will age better than Trumbo and all of the other one dimensional sluggers who were enjoying the retired millionaire sports star lifestyle by their mid-30s, and I don't want the Orioles to be on the hook when the world finds out in 2 or 3 years. Re-signing Santander to a 4 year, $80 million dollar deal is something the DD/PA regime would have done. Hopefully the ME/DR regime is smarter than that (and I think they are). 22nd percentile is really bad, man. And it's unlikely to improve in his 30s.
    • Looks like Baseball Fandom was at the game today!
    • But that is not what you said. You said he’s a bad fielder, just not quite Trumbo-tier. Thus, you were stating he is close to as bad a fielder as Trumbo was, which is not correct. Generally speaking, no player makes up the loss of offensive value with defensive value as the age. It is usually one of the first things to go. I was not making any sort of argument that he was going to make up declining offense with defense, just pointing out that you made a preposterous statement.
    • At least relative to the rest of the league Santander has an interesting profile because he is comfortably above-average at making contact; his whiff rates are much better than Trumbo's so he's not really as much of a TTO player as you would think.  This gives him hope that he will age a little bit better than someone like Trumbo.  Though he's still got a good shot of being out of the league in 3 years.
