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.

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.

    • Picking at 22 and 32 we have a chance to nab some guys with resumes. Benge, Brecht, Honeycutt, Amick, White, Culpepper, and one of the NCAA C if we want. Hopefully we can get two of those guys when we pick. Developing pitching and keeping it healthy is hard. With our recent history with bats it might be good to keep growing them. Benge and White/Amick would be ideal. They could be real close to Bowie this time next year. 
    • Hopefully, Santander is Tuck’s replacement. He is worthy, and his hard work should be rewarded if there is room.  Kimbrel would have been nice, but Clay Holmes, when rested and healthy, has much better stuff. I know the numbers are poor for him at the moment, but he is nasty. Kimbrel is a gutty vet who used to be incredibly tough. His selection this year would have been about his career and legacy. That is not a popular take on this board, so be it. Westburg and Mountcastle can use the time off. Both are supposed to be fairly banged up at the moment. O’Hearn is just another guy I would have loved to see make it. A grinder, who exemplifies the blue collar fan base of Baltimore. A great story, but mostly a platoon guy.
    • Outside of any of the "snubs" losing out of any potential bonuses, I don't care. I'd almost rather see them getting a solid break mid season anyways. 
    • I think there is a better term than "angry" to describe some of the O's. Anger seldom results in anything positive. Now, playing with attitude is another thing. GH is certainly the "King" of attitude on this team, no one is going to beat him. I believe there are several position players that show attitude in different ways. Pitchers?? SP throw 90 or so pitches. They can't afford to display emotions or they would be worn out much earlier. They also can't afford to have the "deer in the headlights" look. Of the O's starters, I believe CP is in that world at present. It's mainly an experience and growth thing.  GR, IMO, has approved significantly in that department over the last year. 
    • On close examination of Kjerstad today (July 7), I hope he is not part of any trade package. This kid is a bull, with power potential that is off the charts.  He runs surprisingly well and that throw to the plate from left was very impressive, if a bit high. I can see him planted in left field for a long time, perhaps in a platoon with Hays the rest of the year, but eventually full time if he proves able to hit southpaws.
    • I like this idea better, but I am curious to what it would take to secure Mason Miller.
    • I totally get it.  It’s a huge risk vs. reward situation, but getting someone like him (if he’s still strong) or Skubal could make a major difference come October for you guys over the next three seasons.
