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.

As mentioned, I was out at dinner when the pick was made.  Turned out that in the far corner of the room directly facing me was a TV tuned to the draft.  I was pretty surprised to see Holliday picked.   I’ll be rooting for him to prove the Orioles right.   The journey begins!

I was pleasantly surprised at this pick. I expected either Druw Jones or Termarr Johnson, but I think this was the right pick. If the O's were worried about signing Jones, they're not going to save any money on this pick, which is why I was a bit surprised, but I love that we now have a 5-tool shortstop in our system!

They will save somewhere between 300-700k under slot.  

Ehh, I don't think 1:1 has ever gotten their full slot value, so when you factor that in, yes they're saving over the official slot value, but relative to what past 1:1s have received it's not much of a discount.

 

Adley got a record (at the time) bonus at 8.1 million, and that was 300K under slot.

Tork got full slot.

And it’s still saving money. The idea shouldn’t be to save as much as you can.  It should be to take the best player you can.  You don’t get bonus points for saving the most money.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Three Run Homer · Posted

      I agree that Irvin is not in our "big 3", but if he continues to pitch well, it would be great to have a lefty starter in OPACY for the playoffs.   I don't think we should be heading into the postseason counting on Kimbrel for the 9th inning.  The rest of this roster is good enough to win a championship; they need a top tier closer.

      In terms of team needs hard throwing bullpen arm ranks first for me over starting pitcher even with Means injury. It's very possible Elias trades for a couple pitchers at the trade deadline with one of them being a starter. A reliever that can throw upper 90's will go a long way in the second half and playoffs.

      Right. If Bradfield gets the ball into the gaps it’s almost an automatic double with his speed.

      I’m kind of confused with the “coming to earth a bit” idea/notion/words. He has had 2 bad outings ALL SEASON. And all of his numbers are still SUPERIOR in every way to any reliever on our roster.  The talent difference between what he can do and what our best two guys combined can do is very wide! Again, he has had two bad outings. One recently against the Rays and the other about 4/5 appearances ago against the Rockies. He is literally the very best reliever that we could acquire.

      I’m not really worried about his performance, I’m worried about his injury history And the probability that it would interfere with him and the rest of the season. However, He is coming down to earth a bit; it’s not just his last outing, but his last few outings, I think. Still love to have him, but the price I would be willing to pay has decreased a little bit.

      Well that explains how we keep ending up with bad relievers off the trash heap.

      Jorge Mateo 2024

      By Too Tall · Posted

      Mateo has an open stance at the plate and also stands back from the plate. Hence, he is very susceptible to the  slider or sweeper off the plate. I was expecting a strike out last night with runners on first and third. In fact, he had two swings and misses at outside breaking pitches during that at bat. But, the pitcher threw one that was in the wrong place and Mateo ripped it. He is doing a good job of staying on those pitches he can handle. And, as stated above, not quite as prone to wave at outside breaking stuff. He is fun to watch.
