Recommended Posts

Sources of players so far:

2017 draft 3 (Hall, Lowther, Baumann)

2018 draft 2 (Rodriguez, Rom)

2019 draft 4 (Rutschman, Henderson, Stowers, Ortiz)

2020 draft 4 (Mayo, Westburg, Kjerstad, Baumler

2020 undrafted 1 (Young)

2021 draft 4 (Cowser, Norby, Rhodes, Willems)

International FA 3 (Basallo, Hernandez, Bautista

Trades 3 (Pinto, Bradish, Vavra)

Pretty evenly spread out.  

Some top picks we haven’t seen yet:

A. Hall 2nd round 2017

Cadyn Grenier 1st round supp. 2018

Blaine Knight 3rd round 2018

Zach Watson 3rd round 2019

Hudson Haskin 2nd round 2020

Scott Servideo 3rd round 2020

Reed Trimble 2nd round 2021

I’m not sure if we’ll see any of those in the next 6.

All of these young and/or inexperienced guys can go anywhere. Projections are based on old scouting reports, small sample size and videos. At least with a guy like Haskin, Knight, Watson et al there's more to go on. The real young ones could be diamonds or lumps of coal.

Pretty cool to see an undrafted guy who only got $20 k to sign on the list.   Of course, that couid be a sign that the talent is thinning out at this point.   

NCAA SP with 4 pitches. I don’t think we’re thinning out just yet. We still haven’t seen Trimble(recent 2nd round pick). Also, Peek, Brnovich, Watson, and Haskin. Even Mundy and Neustrom.

The five round draft year is going to have lots of "undrafted free agents" making impacts in the bigs.  It was truly a strange year.  I still like the talent we took with those six picks.  If some of the UDFA's pop, that could turn out to be a big year for the O's.

I've noticed that typically when announcers talk about "undrafted" player stories they're mistakenly actually talking about international prospects. Might have some more legitimate ones moving forward (albeit with the asterisk of the 5-round draft)

Honestly, I could be under valuing Young because of lack of pedigree. The numbers were very impressive, especially for his ability to miss bats and it's rare that a guy can throw four pitches for strikes and miss bats. Obviously how he fares in AA or AAA will either cement his prospect status or show his warts, but I really liked what I saw from him this year. 

This is a guy who came from a small school who missed most of his Junior year because of COVID and was one of the losers of the five round draft. He's not a $20K talent for sure. It's unfortunate how it shook out for him so far, because honestly, I think he has 2nd or 3rd round talent.

 

The O's were real careful with him.  He started 20 games and was only allow to go 5 innings 3 times.  20 starts, 72 innings as a starter.

    • Why was only Judge mentioned if it's obvious? Don't make stupid omissions don't get obvious fact checked.
    • Wieters had a career fWAR of 15.5. Adley is at 14.3 in less than 3 seasons. Its Adley…by a mile.
    • Santander is a low OBP, poor BA, mediocre fielder with very little base running value player.   He has great power and can carry a team. He’s a really good dude, solid in the clubhouse and a great representative for your franchise. In many ways, he is exactly like Trumbo even if he is the better player.  And even if he doesn’t fall off as dramatically as Trumbo did, he’s still very likely to fall off.    For what he will cost, you can bring in some solid pitching. Next years offense, barring any trades, should look something like this: 1st-Mayo, 2nd- Holliday, SS- Gunnar, 3rd- Westburg C- Adley OF- Kjerstad and Cowser Basallo potentially ready by midseason or so. That leaves you with decisions on Mountcastle, Mullins and OHearn and I guess Santander. You need to get right handed. Mounty is a righty but unless you are moving Mayo to the OF, you need him to play first. Do you keep Mounty around to be a 1st/DH if Mayo is also going to play the OF?  Maybe. Some RH bats to consider: Tyler O’Neill. Having a really nice year.  Strong arm in the OF but struggles out there otherwise. Not a great fit for OPACY LF. JD Martinez: Still can hit but zero versatility. In a game that values that, do you want to sign someone who doesn’t give you any?  On the Os, it may be ok but I tend to doubt they would. Duvall: Good defensive player. Abysmal with the bat this year but was very good last year. buy low guy who could provide some bench value. Robert: Been awful this year and had injury issues in the past. WS have already said they will trim payroll after this year. There are very few ways for them to do that, especially since Benintendi has no value. Robert will be made available. Great spend, very good in the OF and still a tremendous offensive upside. He will cost a lot less to acquire than last offseason.  The Os reportedly were interested in him before. Teams like the Dodgers and Mariners were linked to him at the deadline. There will be competition for him and maybe the Os don’t have the same depth to trade out of that they did in the past, so it may be tough but they should look into it.
    • Captain obvious enters the room
    • Gunnar got his 20th SB the other day.  I was curious and looked at his sprint speed vs Ohtani.  His is 28.8 vs 28.1 for Ohtani.  It made me appreciate even more Ohtani’s 50SBs. 
    • Please do.   Zero people have said don’t spend money. You are lying. 
    • I see we now have 23 people that have lost their mind. 😂 well, I don’t think they’ll be a 24th.
