Hope it's a Vlad Sr/Vlad Jr situation where the father was plenty good but the son turns out better.  Or Griffey Sr./Jr. type deal.

I suppose if we take him with the #1 pick, he'll be ready for Baltimore by his age 30 season.  Looking forward to it!

Didn’t we draft Tim Raines Jr. and Pete Rose Jr.?  😛

I think Elias has proved he’s a very good draft strategist.  Our farm system is ranked no. 1 by several sources, without the benefit of hardly any international players at the higher levels because of the situation Elias inherited there.  Our ranking is not an accident.   It’s the result of excellent work by Elias and his staff.

Elias proved in 2019 that he’ll take the consensus no. 1 guy if he agrees that’s the best guy.   So it’s ridiculous to speculate that he won’t take Jones if he thinks he’s the clear BPA.   I’m not saying that’s who he’ll take, but for you to say he won’t take Jones is unjustified.  
 

Maybe eventually we will see what he can do when he isn't picking in the top five.

Does it?  He had extra pool available.

Not the same as  having your first pick at 25.

I guess all of the players I mentioned must have been huge overslot, right?

What's Druw Jones been doing so far that's separating him from the rest of the pack?

I really don’t know how a non-scout could answer that question.   My sense is that he has less swing and miss than Elijah Green and is the more instinctive outfielder.   And, he’s bigger and plays a more important defensive position than Termarr Johnson.  Johnson also is hurt because he plays against weaker competition so nobody is quite sure how he’d fare against a steady diet of elite pitching.   

Anyway, all that is what I’ve heard from various pundits.   Whether there are other views out there, I’m not sure.

    • Baring injury Adley gets more War. Who do you want up to bat in a winner take all playoff game? Who do you want behind the plate with a Rickey Henderson type on first base in a tie ballgame 9th inning? I really bought into the switch hitting Jesus thing with Wieters.  This disappointment (perhaps misguided) led me to really not want to use a 1/1 draft pick on a catcher.   I am kind of wishing we went with Witt.   I think I heard people saying the most important position on defense is catcher.  So how does it compare to SS or Centerfield.   Would you be better off using Rick Dempsey type all glove and arm with light bat or going all in on a 1/1 on a catcher? If this has already been discussed tons dont yell at me I sometimes go months or weeks without posting.  
    • Glad Bob Melvin and I don’t see eye to eye on that issue Well said, that make two of us, Bunting Ced down 5-3 with nobody out that late in the game is absurd.
    • Sorry to hear this--wishing you a sound recovery, in time for the O's run to the Series! (That would speed up the healing!)
    • Santander is a good case for the Rule V draft. That's unfortunately the same system that's going to make his next contract potentially look bad. If only he were a couple of years younger. It's hard to commit 25+M to a player at 30+. He's going to be missed in Baltimore, on the field and by the fans, but he's someone that they're going to have to let move on. 
    • While I agree and find your comment funny, maybe just say something along the line of”Don’t give up on this team” or “Quite being Debbie downers” instead of assuming they are projecting the own misery in their lives. People might take it better if it doesn’t feel like a personal attack. Either way, that win felt good and I HOPE this is finally the turning point going into the playoffs soon. 
    • I've made it clear that if they don't sign Santa and Burnes I'm ok with it as long as the money is allocated to other players they feel that fits their profile better .You know you have people on here like SG who only hears what he wants to hear. I need to learn to ignore that guy.
