I’m going Norby. He struggled a bit in his debut but ended up with a good final line. He doesn’t have quite the pedigree of Kjerstad but he was a very good college hitter selected in the 2nd round. If he can stay at 2B, he has a lot of value. Most importantly, he has played.

I have Kjerstad but I think Norby is likely right after him, due to higher floor along with decent upside in comparison to the other options

I expect it to be Kjerstad, but my personal choice is Bradish and then Norby, so I went with Bradish.

I really have no idea what to do with Kjerstad, but having a major heart issue is a big deal. I think I'd personally ding his prospect rating pretty substantially and just hope that he returns like the injury never happened. I don't think that's really practical though. He'll need a full year of health just to get back to good physical condition, and that's to say nothing about being a superior athlete that it takes to be a top baseball player in the world.

Bradish is near ready and has the stuff to be an effective starter, I think. Based on some other comments I think Tony will have him rated a little lower than I do, and he's probably right, but I'm bullish on the kid.

I went with Kjerstad here, but it would not surprise me if Tony chose Norby. Tough call with so much still an unknown for Kjerstad, but it seems like Kjerstad is on the road back. Only a matter of how long it takes him to regain his strength and athleticism. The rhythm and timing will come with his swing reps.

      Who is going to end up the best career catcher? Wieters or Rutschmann.

      By Gurgi · Posted

      Baring injury Adley gets more War. Who do you want up to bat in a winner take all playoff game? Who do you want behind the plate with a Rickey Henderson type on first base in a tie ballgame 9th inning? I really bought into the switch hitting Jesus thing with Wieters.  This disappointment (perhaps misguided) led me to really not want to use a 1/1 draft pick on a catcher.   I am kind of wishing we went with Witt.   I think I heard people saying the most important position on defense is catcher.  So how does it compare to SS or Centerfield.   Would you be better off using Rick Dempsey type all glove and arm with light bat or going all in on a 1/1 on a catcher? If this has already been discussed tons dont yell at me I sometimes go months or weeks without posting.

      Glad Bob Melvin and I don’t see eye to eye on that issue Well said, that make two of us, Bunting Ced down 5-3 with nobody out that late in the game is absurd.

      Anthony Santander 2024

      By maybenxtyr · Posted

      Santander is a good case for the Rule V draft. That's unfortunately the same system that's going to make his next contract potentially look bad. If only he were a couple of years younger. It's hard to commit 25+M to a player at 30+. He's going to be missed in Baltimore, on the field and by the fans, but he's someone that they're going to have to let move on.

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      By sevastras · Posted

      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.
