I was recalling this morning how weams and I would be frantically collecting information to post in the Draft Tracker thread, for two or three years that I remember.  I could in no way do that now.  I

I don’t understand the “Jones or Bust” crowd here, as if he’s a guaranteed sure thing perennial All Star going forward. Chances are good that he’ll be a productive major league player, but it’s also l

Johnson seems like just a 1st rate kid on top of being a great hitter. Hopefully the Orioles didn't miss on him because he was short and probably a 2nd baseman. I'll root for him.

Sure, and we can list all of the pitchers drafted in the top 5 rounds over the last 30 years and check on the success rate there as well.  It ain't pretty.   Obviously, we hope GRod and Hall are the exceptions along with very few others along the way.  

The pitching pipeline has been constructed.  The oil just hasn't reached the other end yet.

Dominican Republic and Venezuela.  Now I welcome your snark.

I don't know where to find your post about the pitching pipeline come from the international group, but I liked it and think it deserves its own thread at some point. It's a valid theory for sure, though I still hope we go big on pitching today.

I love Day 2 of the draft, when the picks come in fast and furious.  It's probably my least productive day of the year at work haha.  The only other competition would be trade deadline day.

Agreed.   Seeing the guys on MLB.com trying to keep up is funny, too.

So the MLB.com draft tracker has been stuck on #86 for about 15 minutes.   Is there a better online draft tracker?

Or could this only be happening to me, I know the way they have our work computers locked down sometimes affects what I can see.   But the link below only goes through 86 for me:

Refresh the page.  It's been stuck for me before, too.

I've refreshed dozens of times.   It's still at 86.  I found a CBS page that isn't updating every pick but at least it is into the 4th round, looks like it refreshes every dozen or so picks.

Edit:   And yes, I tried clearing my browser cache too.

      Arizona Fall League

      I would say it’s without a doubt better competition.   Many current and former ML players in the winter leagues.   The Arizona Fall League is basically AA.

      A look ahead to the 2025 payroll

      By Say O! · Posted

      Per CBA rules, hasn’t most (90%) of the deferred buyouts have to be already set aside in present value?  This is why not shown in the payments itemization.  Same with Bobby Bonilla for NYM and why Shohei Ohtani shown in terms of AAV present value.

      Are we at the point that we want to give the backup catcher 225-250 PAs? If that's the case, I'd like to see an upgrade from McCann.

      With another 1.5 months of performance results...

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      1.5 months of data shouldn't make any difference. These guys have too much upside to trade. I'm most concerned about Mayo, more due to lack of position than the early hitting results. Still, no regrets even if Skubal was available, which I highly doubt

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      By ChuckS · Posted

      I'm not in the group that expected us to miss the playoffs a few days ago.  This thread was a bit silly at the time, and has now become completely irrelevant.  But stating we are going to win 5 of the next 9 games as a fact, is just as ignorant as the people who think we are going to lose out or continue the tailspin to the point that we will miss the playoffs.  As much as I can't stand constant negativity, I also can't stand people who have no tolerance for any negativity, or pessimism, or whatever you want to call it.  If you just want to be a part of a cheerleading group and resent any criticism of the team, a hardcore fan message board is probably not the place for you.  Not just speaking to this poster, but as a retort to similar opinions in general.

      Would the team be any better off with Skubal than they are now, considering the hitting woes?  I think that’s debatable, and questionable enough that I wouldn’t give up that high level talent to find out.    Who knows if the Tigers would have even done that?  They’ve made a nice run behind Skubal and the rest of their staff since the deadline. I think it’s a good chance they extend him to lead that young team into the next several years of what they hope are contending teams. Decent position player pool there.

      AL playoff picture

      By Fiver6565 · Posted

      The Tigers are a fun story, reminiscent of the ‘22 birds a little bit (if that team had had a CY winner heading the rotation). But we need to end the dream for them this weekend. Take care of business versus Detroit and next weeks games will hardly matter. We can get our staff set up for the WC series after their next turn. That would be ideal.
