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.

      Back to back 90 or more win seasons

      There’s another accomplishment from 1983 I’d like to match.

      I'm more of a Prime Number guy, I'm happy enough with 89. Round numbers are for suckers.   Pretty disheartening they haven't managed to reach that relatively meager goal in 40 years.

      Still with a chance to do this for the first time since 1982-83. Would be one more nice accomplishment for this organization.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By Frobby · Posted

      The weird thing about our bullpen is that they rarely blow leads.   They have a 69% save rate, 4th highest in baseball.  They make it scary, but generally, when they have the lead, they get the job done.   Where they are really bad is keeping games close when we’re down a run or two, last night being a classic example of that.   This year’s team has 32 comeback wins, compared to 48 last year.   Why is that?   Part of it is obviously on the offense, but part of it is that the bullpen doesn’t keep us in striking distance when we’re behind.   One way you can tell this is by the W/L records of the starters and the bullpen.  Last year, the starters were 57-40, this year they’re 60-49.   The starter got the decision 12 more times this year than last year, including 9 more losses (with 3 games to play).   That tells you that when the team is losing when the starter is pulled, they keep losing.  Meanwhile, the relievers were 44-21 last year, 28-22 now. They’re not picking up wins because they don’t give the offense a chance to catch up and get the win for the bullpen guy.

      I do not disagree with above posts.  Also I am pretty sure that this time last season, the Texas Rangers Hangout was saying the exact same things as the Rangers Pen.  Point being, you never know until you know.  The pen is shaky, but is capable of putting together a solid run from time to time.

      DH - O'Hearn v. Kjerstad

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Roster Resource thinks it has tonight's lineup and Kjerstad on bench again. He is 7 AB shy of 130 MLB regular season AB with 3 games left, and if he ends up short some prospect list makers may still label him one.    If still with the Orioles, he will be 26 years old by Sarasota. I think the OP has its answer as it has been Cole and Lopez these two nights and the team is preparing for that intensity.
