What do you want to see with picks 33, 42, 67

[Sports Guy]

Ugh..Fabian it is 

The one thing is, the ceiling is high.  High risk/high reward type pick.

Nailed it.

Darn, was thinking we were going to possibly pick him.  Wonder if we would have it he didn't just get taken.  

Doubt it

[sevastras]

Told you they like him for whatever reason. Just was a little off on where they would take him. 

[Big Mac]

I'll say they must have some extreme confidence in their ability to develop hitters if they think they can turn a career .246 hitter in 867 college PAs into a major leaguer.

You received your wish. Hopefully the Os can find some pitching to keep the ball in the park so all these outfielders will have the opportunity to make plays.

[Tony-OH]

Not going to lie. I usually don't get too upset with these picks since I know I don't have all the info they have, but it's getting to be a joke how many college outfielders Elias takes.

Not a fan of the Fabian pick at all. I don't are about the tools, if you can only hit .239 against college pitching you are going to struggle in the pros. 

No pitchers is pretty damn disappointing.

I’m guessing whatever matrix they use, it favors hitters. Also, they have done kind of ok with cast off kind of guys. I would be interested to hear someone like Lyles say if there is anything different then other organizations than what his experience has been with the Os. I know Gausman and others of recent past have criticized the organization but that was pre Elias regimes.

Elias wanted Whisenhunt and miscalculated. But he “slashed”’ .239 as the Verve reports.

Last selectors tonight look like playoff teams from last year, so Brock Porter might go to bed tonight unaffiliated, with BAL leading off 3rd round tomorrow.

Mr. Angelos...4.9%....etc

[Three Run Homer]

Elias draft approach would be outstanding if the Orioles played T-Ball.

Unfortunately, they play baseball, where you need to have good pitchers as well as good position players.

Two picks left and Porter, Snelling, Ferris, Beavers, Beck, Prielipp, Tidwell, Graham, Thompson, Whisenhunt all still available.

Load up all the pitching we can get.  I hope that's the plan.

 

I guess the plan is to just draft hitters and end up trading for pitchers?  Pitching has to come from somewhere.

[cnmilton]

The pitching, as with this year's staff, will mostly be other teams castoffs. It's the Duquette dumpster diving, but with just pitchers
