Still two months, maybe. I don’t think Holliday goes 1-1 unless it’s an under slot thing. I saw him play some last summer. He didn’t look good, pressing I think. A lot of swing and miss. I didn’t see a premium athlete either. But, I have read that he had a dramatic turnaround.

Is Collier the JUCO 3B? I have heard good things, I don’t recall seeing him.

Yes, Collier is the JUCO 3B.  But he graduated HS early (homeschool I think), reclassified himself and did JUCO this year so he could enter the draft at age 17. 

This write-up has some good video clips in it too.  Definitely looks like a hitter.  Short, simple, smooth.  Really looks in control of where the bat goes.  Big legs drive his power and the rest of the swing just seems to follow through the chain.  Even in some type of prep showcase BP, he didn't sell out for power.  Honestly, I like his swing better than Terrmar's.

This next one has him fielding some.  He does look pretty slow.  A lopey jog type approach to the ball.  Arm looks strong though.

I mentioned him in another thread a few weeks back.  At that point (in that ranking/mock), he was in the mid-teens I think.  He's really shot up the draft board recently.

My amateur ranking:  Jones, Green, Collier, Lee, Johnson, Holliday...

      Offense is down in MLB this year — but not in Baltimore

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Its worth mentioning those 2023 Braves also have the seasonal wRC+ record since integration, beating the peak Astros, Big Red Machine, Harvey's Wallbangers, whatever Jeter/Manny Yankees/Red Sox unit is your favorite, etc. The 2024 Orioles and Braves are on top of them all right now if you split seasons, but that's just like Luis Arraez hitting .450 25 games into the season.    I believe Sigbot expects Holliday, Mayo and Basallo to all be more than Westburg, so either Elias is going to get his biggest bust sometime in the next few years or there's a chance the run production will be pretty special. https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders/major-league?pos=all&stats=bat&lg=all&qual=y&type=8&month=0&ind=1&team=0%2Cts&startdate=&enddate=&season1=1947&season=2024&sortcol=18&sortdir=default&pagenum=1

      Who is "selling" this year?

      By DirtyBird · Posted

      This is probably correct, but I could see things getting ugly for them if they are complacent. They need to win at a 60% rate from here out to reach 90 wins this season. That could be tough.

      Who Should Be Extension Priority #1?

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      I agree completely. It is a risk. But IMO the potential reward is worth the risk. You can’t make the shots that you are unwilling to take.

      I mostly agree about players generally being able to deal better than us with the ups and downs, but I recall Hyde saying how hard those losing seasons were and he wasn’t sure how much more he could take. That aside, I am as addicted as Roy and a lot of us hear who love the game and the Birds in particular.

      Craig Kimbrel 2024

      By Frobby · Posted

      Not a ton of relievers in the Hall of Fame.   KRod at 437 saves has gotten 10.8% and 7.8% of the votes in his first two tries; Lee Smith at 478 saves got into the HOF only through selection by the Today’s Game Era Committee.   I’d say the odds are against Kimbrel being elected by the writers unless he ends up somewhere north of 500 saves, and even then he’d be no sure thing.    Pretty good shot that Kimbrel passes KRod this year and finishes the season 4th or 5th on the all time saves list, depending what Kenley Jensen (one ahead of him) does the rest of the year.

      No doubt. As I was about to settle into bed last night to wait for the Os game to start (west coast start time, after all) my wife came in and casually said "Os won, that's good" as she was putzing around the room. Not knowing it was a day game and it had been played hours ago my first reaction was "damnit, what?!" instead of "oh cool".   Addict.

      Off-season Qualifying Offer Question

      By Too Tall · Posted

      This is spot on. You make the offer if there is need and he projects as worth that amount within the context of what else you play to do financially. Does he fit into your total budget plan if he accepts? If he's still here in September, we will have a better feel for the situation.
