Circled back to Collin Burns pick thread (NCAA Tulane), post there said his advisor says he got slightly above slot for 6th round pick, and his 375K was third-highest that round last year.    375K also more than about half of 5th round picks and a few 4th round picks last year.    Hernaiz got 400K of Elias' pool $$$ his year.

I thought Prieto was all hit tool and limited glove skills, so kind of figure Burns may be the SS.    Burns over Hernaiz for Aberdeen gig has to sting a little for Hernaiz.

Burns 5.20.2000 is about 1.2 years older than Hernaiz 8.3.2001.    

Are Pinto-Tavera the 1-2 guys this weekend?

I assume he’ll be at 2B. Burns will play SS. 
 

Oh because Norby is at Aberdeen. Maybe a group will rotate in at DH. 

I would guess there would be a rotation with Burns and Prieto playing at SS, but Prieto also rotating in at 2B.

Why is Cowser starting the season at Aberdeen?  He needs to be at Bowie.

Why does he “need” to be at Bowie?   2019 no. 5 pick Jonathan India spent about 2/3 of his first full season in the minors at high A.    2016 no. 5 pick Corey Ray spent the whole year in high A.  2012 no. 5 pick Kyle Zimmer spent most of his season in High A.  Those were all college guys drafted no. 5, like Cowser.

Elias has shown that his initial placements are conservative but he will move players up quickly if they show they need more of a challenge.   If Cowser needs to be in AA, he’ll show it.

      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 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.

      Congratulations Yankees

      I agree I missed the mark on a correct forum, and ask a moderator to please relocate to Rants as that game annoyed me yesterday. I appreciate the strong moderators here and know I'm not one of them.     Sorry for making it worse at a tough moment.    I won't bump it again, even ironically if we kick their butts in the playoffs.

      Nail hit on head. It really comes down to the offense in the playoffs for us. I think our pitching is good enough overall especially the starters. Shaky sometimes sure, but they can hold their own most of the time. If we don't bring our "A" hitting game in the playoffs we won't go far.

      The bullpen has warts for sure, but if this offense doesn't figure out how to hit good pitching in the playoffs, the bullpen won't matter. Even I got a little excited when they put 5 and 9 up on the board Tues and Wed, and then it crashed back to reality last night when I remembered they were facing Schmidt and Stroman. When facing a real ace like Cole they were completely shut down. What's gonna happen next week when they face Skubal, Reagins, and/or Lugo? The mediocre bullpen won't matter if they can't figure out how to score some runs off pitchers like that...
