I'm still waiting for him to do another AMA.  It's been almost three years now.

It’s easier to do them when you have no track record as GM to ask about.   I guess he could do AMABIWRA (Ask Me Anything But I Won’t Really Answer).

He was setting the narrative.

Once he established himself as the young, media savvy new breed style GM he was set.

His initial media blitz certainly got him off on the right foot with fans.

Elias has done OK on the media front.  But that will only get him so far.  At the end of the day, fans only care about one thing - winning.    Elias established the fact that this rebuild was going to take a while, and so most fans have been very patient so far.   But you can feel that patience beginning to fray.

I'm not trying elude to who is the next pick, but if Kjerstad had the year Stowers had this year, where would he rank?

So would you say draft status matters?  That a Top 10 pick like Kjerstad, if he put up the numbers that Stowers did this year would be highly regarded whereas a 2nd rounder like Stowers is still viewed skeptically by some?

Asking for a friend.

Are we factoring in that Kjerstad was drafted a year later and is a year younger?   I’d say in those circumstances, if both players had the same numbers at the same levels this year, I’d think the younger, less experienced player had the more impressive season.

I would say it's not draft status per se, but what draft status ostensibly correlates with (pedigree / perceived raw talent profile).

    • Vlad Jr and Burnes....my priorities. Then you can trade Mayo for MMiller.
    • I'm certainly not "fixated" on this. The real issue is the budget. How high will Rubenstein be willing to grow the payroll?
    • It will be retired with the first big $$ free agent or extension signed under Rubenstein.
    • I have no idea what you are arguing. 
    • Cool, nice work there.   So? Are we owed a large market? Does DC not deserve their own team? Should the fans of Baltimore just become Redskins fans and not tried to get their own team when the Colts left?  (sorry to bring up football again but come on, that fits). I laid it all out a couple months ago, MLB has more teams bringing home the hunk of metal than other sports since 2000.  The competitive balance is fine.  It's harder?  Yea?  OK it's harder.
    • The Cowboys have an owner with deep pockets. I agree 100% … There is some cap manipulation that happens. At the end of the day they have a $255 million limit they are required to operate under. The Dodgers, Yankees, Red Sox, etc can decide each year how much they want to add to the luxury tax fund as opposed to not being able to fit a potential move under the cap. Here are the 2024 payrolls for the NFL and MLB   https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/2024/04/03/mlb-team-payrolls-2024-highest-lowest-mets/73139425007/ Highest $305 million vs $60 million  https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/cap/_/year/2024/sort/cap_maximum_space Highest $259.5 million vs $217 million these numbers will likely get tighter once they make additions before the trade deadline.  If you can’t see the difference I’m just wasting my time. The biggest driving force in MLB beyond the ability of some to spend lavishly is the tv markets. The club controls so much of their tv revenue that it’s an unfair game. The moved that created the Orioles didn’t have much of an effect on the Senators tv market which was likely nonexistent then. Plus MLB is allowing contract manipulation like Othani’s contract. Instead of $700 divided by length 10 years, Somehow he only counts as like $46 million which is laughable. Plus they are paying $85 million in luxury tax fees in 2024.    The Orioles were a large market team when the Expos moved to DC. They could afford to spend with the Yankees, Red Sox , and Blue Jays. Could the Orioles afford to pay $85 million in luxury tax fees? Could the Yankees? I know the answer to both.  What grounds ? Who cares ? The impact was astronomical …It made it very difficult to compete in the AL East without tank a thon! It split their tv market in half. Obviously MLB papered over that long enough to get an agreement done.    They turned a large market team into 2 small/mid market teams. The Orioles and Nationals payrolls combined place them only 11th in baseball. Obviously they could afford to spend more. But it’s doubtful either will ever be top 10 for more than a season  or two as they try to hang onto a window.
