Have the O’s started scouting him yet?

Do you have any insight into why they clocked him using that method?   I’m wondering if there’s a purpose for it.   

For him, I think it was just an instructor having fun with kids. My son's a decent pitcher, but not even at the top of travel for his age so it's not like he was being highlighted like driveline does or something.

Since there's not a lot going on, I thought I'd take the "More prospects to know" and rank them and then go all the way out to 75.  Now remember, I spent about 20 minutes doing the order so don't

I'm glad everyone enjoyed the list. Honestly, I had fun digging into guys I've watched this year but weren't quite at the top-30 level.  Here's a few more fun tidbits: Players who were consi

I'll be honest, I never was thrilled with Smith's stuff even before his struggles at AAA. He pitched off his slider mostly in AA and it was a pretty good pitch at times, but in AAA, he just struggled

      On MLB just now the host were asking what should Baltimore give up to get Miller from the A's

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      Miller is the best reliever that will be able to acquire (if available). But he is not the only good reliever that will be out there. I know some/many on this board don’t want to part with prospect talent and I get that. But given how value Miller is (huh leverage reliever with dominant stuff and 5 years of control following this season) you are going to have to exchange value for value in order to acquire him. So far this regular season (and it is still early) we have seen that the Orioles possess a very strong team who appears to have legit designs on an AL pennant and possibly WS winner. How much is giving ourselves the best odds at that worth? If the O’s had a competent closer we would have the best record in MLB. But Kimbrel has blown games at an unacceptable rate. And a few of his saves he almost blew including (2 against the Angels). Some wanted to use as a rationale, “he just needs more rest. He can’t pitch in back to back appearances, etc.” But we are seeing the signs of a guy at the end of his very successful career. He’s just not very reliable. I don’t know how any fan/person who is realistic would be comfortable trusting Kimbrel (given what you have seen) to get us through several rounds of the postseason. There are bound to be several tight games/bullpen battles and you need someone who is lockdown, whether that is Miller or not. The rest of the roster is simply too good to leave it’s fate in the hands of a has been like Kimbrel.

      This is what Roch had to say after the game last night.

      I think he’s just awful right now. I hope Elias isn’t overly stubborn on this. Admit defeat and clear Kimbrel and his $12 million off this roster.

      Doesn’t look to a  sound defensive player to me.

      Yeah ….totally agree! We can cut Kimbrel loose and acquire another closer.

      Opportunity Cost and the importance of dry powder...  Also makes me wonder how Cease was valued...

      I feel like plays like these have been a part of his entire tenure here. He has the speed but not the mental game. I expect him to be gone once Hays is ready.
