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.

      Orioles #30 Prospect Brandon Young - RHP

      By now · Posted

      Now overall I notice 29 K's in 17 innings. That ratio of 1.7 is top of the line for a starter!

      Urias looks pretty cooked too though, and he's not providing the kind of defensive flexibility that Mateo is, and he doesn't have very good splits for platooning.  At least for 2023 and 2024 Mateo has had good platoon splits.

      SSS but Holliday was playing incredible defense after like the first game or two when he seemed to have some jitters.  He had +3 OAA in a very short span.  Mateo has looked a little awkward at 2nd to be honest, and he's not the best at making the double play turn.

      Hoping for a speedy recovery. That all happened fast. Not my initial impression reading the write up.

      Is it time to upgrade over Urias and McCann?

      By Hallas · Posted

      McCann looks cooked but he's in his last year and our options at backup C aren't great unless we're willing to trade for one.  But I'm not giving up a lot for a backup C.   I'd like to find a replacement for Urias.  He didn't look great last year and he's being thrust into a role that he's not really cut out for right now.  I don't think he's getting the 2022 magic back.  Maybe Westburg can go to 3rd full time and one of our 5 AAA 2nd basemen can work in with Mateo at 2nd.

      I quoted myself, because I wanted to share something with you all.  I have memory issues.  Nothing full blown or anything, but I don't recall things nearly as well as I once did.  I mention this because it occurred to me that I posted a very similar thing about McCann last year, and he performed notably better in the 2nd half.  At least I believe so.   It's not that I feel I'm exactly wrong about McCann, but rather that he showed himself to be better just last season and could do so again.  I hope so. Memory issues are nothing to be ashamed of, though I'd be pretending if it didn't bother me.  I've been dealing with this for maybe five years or so, though it gets worse every year.  At 59, that's younger than most that have such issues.   I'm sure in a forum as populated as this one, there could be others going through what I am.  It is what it is... it's life, and I hope you're all doing your best with it.

      Estrada and Tejada both continued their recent surges today.  Estrada was 2 for 4 with a double, while Tejada was 3 for 3  with a homer.  Tejada has his OPS up to .737, not bad for a league where .654 is average.  Estrada is at .628 and climbing.
