Would you favor being able to trade the 1:1 pick?

Trading picks? YES!

Trading 1:1... not for a bazillion dollars,

 

edit: 2:1 maybe.

Oh, I’d trade 1:1 in the right deal.   Let’s say Grayson Rodriguez was in another organization.   If I were the O’s, I’d seriously consider trading 1:1 for him.

Honestly, I don't care. But I don't think it would be that big of a boon for the Orioles. Sure, they could've traded back from 5 to 10 and still gotten Cowser...but that would have defeated the purpos

Among the major sports, I think baseball is the only one that doesn’t allow the trading of draft picks (with minor exceptions).   With the CBA up, this could be revisited.   Especially considering tha

Absolutely.   Trading draft picks is a win for MLB in a number of ways.

Yes!  This year, Elias could have traded the 5th pick and gotten maybe the 10th pick and maybe a top 100 SS prospect.  Then Elias could have likely picked Cowser at #10.

It seems like it would benefit the O's because their analytics result in a different order of the top draft picks than the experts.  I guess we'll know in a few years if the O's analytics are right or wrong. 

 

Would you give up a top 100 SS prospect to move from 10 to five in the draft?

It could make sense for a team who feels they could pick a SS who projects to be a possible All Star vs. a SS who is around the 100th prospect and projects to be a solid regular. 

In a vacuum I don't make that trade.

I'd need more.

Not every fifth pick even makes a top 100 list.

But I don't think anyone is in favor is being able to sell draft picks, but no reason they should be able to trade for them. 

Could you bundle a pick with a bad contract?

So, for instance, the O's could have traded the second overall pick and Cobb for something.

That's basically selling it.

We know teams would do it because the O's have already done it twice with the competitive balance picks.

Hmmm, they probably do unless they’re Hobgood.   

I agree though that baseball operates a lot differently than football or basketball.  Probably the only way a team pays a lot to trade up is if they are going for a top 1 or 2 pick, or if a player at the top of their board has slipped for some reason and the team really wants that player.   I could have imagined a team trading up and giving good value to get Wieters at 1:5 for example, since most people pegged Wieters as a higher than no. 5 quality pick who fell due to signability issues.

As a fan, no. Not because I am afraid of what Mike Elias would want to do. But, it does scare me what ownership or a later GM might do. This is a group of owners who traditionally cannot help themselves and get out of their own way. They cannot stand prosperity for the sport. They are quick to take a quick buck. The game would be even more lopsided than it is now.

      9/26: A Weak Effort In New York

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      I was at a meeting and came out to the Orioles down 1-0. I looked away for what seemed like a minute and it was 5-0, then 7-0. Do we know why Burnes was lifted after just 69 pitches after 5 innings? Was he hurt? Do we know why Cano was brought into the game in the 6th (Have to imagine his adrenaline may not have been as flowing at that stage of the game)?  Obviously the bullpen was pretty horrific last night, but could some of this be because Hyde was using guys who typically are late in game relievers in the 6th inning?

      Is there a 5th O's #1 Prospect?

      By OriolesUpAndDowns · Posted

      Good point on the age.  I think it would have to be someone like Nate George from this year's draft just blowing up next year. The story would be how everyone missed on him because he played in a cold weather state.

      First, Schmidt is having a better year than Cole. Second, the O's teed off Ragans and Lugo last time they faced them.

      Elias needs to use better judgement when he dumpster dives, prepare better for the high percentage chance that his dumpster diving pickups will fail, and increase usage of other means to get pieces. Bullpen usage is another problem, but it’s hard to effectively juggle flaming torches. A wrong move burns badly

      DH - O'Hearn v. Kjerstad

      By e16bball · Posted

      I can see the case for Mountcastle based on defense alone, but what has Kjerstad done to warrant that kind of treatment? Is it the .505 OPS he’s put up since coming back? The overall .438 ML OPS since getting hit in the head? I’m as bummed as anyone that his season got derailed, but if you’re talking about where they are right now — he’s not your huckleberry. As for O’Hearn, he’s 8 for his last 23 (.348), with 3 doubles. That feels a little like the “getting himself together” that you referenced. He had an awful month-long slump, but he also has an extended track record (over 1.5 seasons) of excelling in the role he’s now back in, as the platoon LH 1B/DH guy. He had a 125 wRC+ in those 750 PAs as an Oriole until 8/20, which is roughly when Mountcastle went out.  I’d be good with Kjerstad DHing against LH starters, because there’s good reason to think he hits them better than O’Hearn. And if they want to play both O’Hearn and Kjerstad against some RHPs, in order to set up the potential of Mountcastle coming in to PH against a lefty reliever, I’m down for that too. But the primary alignment is going to (and should) be the Mountcastle/O’Hearn duo we’ve gotten accustomed to seeing.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By Moose Milligan · Posted

      The Achilles heel for this team is going to be the unit that doesn't step up in the postseason. I can easily see scenarios where: the bullpen is hot and provides good performances but the offense sputters and isn't clutch the offense comes up big but the bullpen blows games late starting pitching tosses some clunkers (not really likely with Burnes and Eflin) and they can't recover the defense sucks and gives opponents extra outs to work with, blowing games open when the bullpen or SP would have been able to escape and continue We've seen all of these units falter at one point or another during this season.  We've also seen all of these units perform very well at different times throughout the season.  So, we'll see what turns out to be the Achilles heel for the Orioles in the playoffs starting next week.
