Initial Take: Hard to argue with the pick even though Druw Jones was widely considered the best overall prospect in the class. Holliday looks about 12 years old, but his game is considered mature in almost every area and he hasn't even grown into his man strength yet. If he can realistically stick at SS (Elias says they think he can) then this pick makes a lot of sense since the system does not have a legitimate long-term SS prospect (Henderson is going to be better at 3B). He will always be compared to Jones, Termarr Johnson, and Elijiah Green who were the other top High School hitters available.

I think he hits for more power than folks are currently giving credit for. Tooled-up version of Gunnar (who I really liked). I think he hits and holds down shortstop for as long as Baltimore is willin

Elias feels he stays at SS…that tells me he had him #1 on the board. In good with it.  I wanted Jones but Elias took the player he wanted, so we should all be happy with that.

      Elias: It's on me

      What is unsettling to me is in how much better a position the team appeared to be in last year at this (approximate) time.

      I love this team, I love the Orioles

      I love the Orioles but after the last three decades it is no longer unconditional love anymore from me.  The Orioles are going to have to put out once in a while to keep my interest.  They got to let us go all the way once in a while.

      Elias: It's on me

      The Baltimore Orioles are still one of the best teams in all of baseball.  They still have an awful lot going for them.  Unfortunately, the while the distance between World Series winner and close but no cigar is not that much in the overall win column during the season, the things they need to go right, and the things they need to do to improve are still pretty massive. Compounding this is the fact that they can do everything necessary and it is still possible it won't work.  I don't say that as an excuse.  Elias is going to be measured by playoff appearances and the success that brings.  He has been engineer of two playoff teams and a near miss.  He still has as many wins with his near miss and his rebuilding teams in the playoffs as his two playoff teams.  It is certainly fine to criticize that. Of course he says it is on him.  One because it is, and two because any good GM would do the same.  But the Orioles are no longer building towards being good.  They are good and no one is going to give them anything.  There is work to be done to make this team better positioned to compete in the post season.   And the Angelos family is no longer a hinderance. I am as disappointed as everyone else and in general I am a root for the uniform not the player guy.  These guys have been fun to root for, but the second half and this playoff run was tough to stomach.  I hope that to give this team the chance to compete, they add a #1 TOR pitcher and another playoff caliber starter before the season starts.  I also hope they add a playoff experienced RH bat.  Trade, sign, whatever.  The window is open.  Whatcha gonna do?

      I doubt any GM has ever done that.  Maybe he can be the first, he could hold a big press conference and everything.  Go Elias, go!

      Elias is also a known liar.  So take what he says with a grain of salt.
