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

Transcript of the Mancano/Elias interview on masn:

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.

He has to feel he can stick at SS to take him 1-1. If you think he's a second baseman, you have to go with Termarr Johnson. 

I will say that Elias has said the same thing about a few other guy that look like they move to other positions, but let's hope this time it works out. He's not very big at 6-1, so he shouldn't outgrow the position.

Not trying to give you a hard time, but there is also a world where they think he's the best prospect and that they can save some money. I'm not making that argument, per se, but the two possibilities aren't necessarily mutually exclusive from the perspective of the Orioles.  

And that scenario would fall under the first option which was financial impact agnostic 😀.

I think it’s possible they had Holiday #1 on the board.  I wouldn’t discount that.  I would have for basically everyone else.

I think it’s possible they had him #1 too. 
 

If Holliday and Jones were both neck and neck though I’m assuming the price played a part here. I’m not mad at it btw. 

Overall happy with the pick despite the fact that I can’t get over that he looks like he’s 12.

Favorite comment from the panel so far is that now the O's have their Bobby Witt Jr. to go with Adley. 

Let's hope he moves as fast as Witt Jr. Maybe by the time Henderson outgrows SS, Holliday will be ready.

The talk was that if he can’t stay at SS that he would go to third or CF.

That’s because you can’t pass for 40.

I think the price is a few hundred K…not a huge deal and not something that separated him.

I think it’s the position.  The value of SS over CF.  That’s my assumption.

And as someone else mentioned (can't remember the poster) Holliday is a left handed bat and Druw Jones bats righty.

So, if it's close between two players then left handed and switch hitters may get preference with the new left field wall at OPACY.

      The game is already tied. If he gets thrown out, the O's still have a runner in scoring position and just one out. You really didn't have much to lose by sending him there, with a chance to end the game.

      Yes.  He’s not a great bunter but at least try it once.   Santander was today’s choker.  He’s gotta be able to hit a freaking fly ball there.

      Same exact question Ravens fans ask every season.  No killer instinct.  In the game’s biggest moments, they come up small.  Exactly what you saw today.  Pathetic

      Should we have gone with a suicide or safety squeeze with Mullins? He might be better at bunting than hitting deep fly balls. Just a thought.

      I agree with the second but not the first. If the first fails, that's an extra out. If the second fails then they just get an out at home instead of an out at first, which is not really relevant with Gunnar going to 3rd. For the first case I'd think you need to be like 80% to succeed for it to be right, but for the second like 20%.

      The Sting of Losing Winnable Games

      By ShoelesJoe · Posted

      Bump. Tonight's game wasn't just "winnable" -- it would have been one of the top 2-3 wins of the season. Down 2 in the 9th and we come out single, single, walk, double to tie the game and have two of our fastest runners on 2nd and 3rd with no outs, with our 2-3-4 hitters coming up next.  And our guys gagged. They wilted under pressure. They choked.  Again.  This has happened so many times this season that I believe we need to consider the real possibility that the Orioles as currently constructed lack the character, stamina, -- the heart, if you will -- to win games like this. I think these players fail so often because they expect to fail. I remember after we won it all in '83 reporters were interviewing Ken Singleton in the locker room and one of them asked if the Orioles had been lucky. "You make your own luck" he responded. Well, the 2024 Orioles are making their own bad luck over and over again. How does that cycle of failure come to an end? I wish I knew.

      I know the OH hates Holliday, but it's a no brainer keeping him over Soto. We're talking about bench players who are going to, at most, have a small role in a few games. Soto has no pop and is slow. He's a warm body as it is. Holliday's ability to run can be very useful in the playoffs.
