We are up. Who do you want for pick 81, and who do you think they will take?

Huh? Why in the world do you think that? First off, they most likely passed on Jones because he is a Boras guy, they will likely pass on Porter at 2pm (we will see I guess). If they are going BPA as you say, I guess time will tell at 2pm. 

Fabian they clearly are in love with for whatever reason, doesn't sound like BPA there.


..and....I don't think the other two guys were even remotely close to BPA.

 

 

Who was the BPA for each of those picks?

Nope! I had family stuff all yesterday but would love to know  Is it Boras? 

Google can be your friend, and can help you stop putting your foot in your mouth when you spout of things that are often so wrong.  Yeah, everyone can have a different opinion, that's cool.  But to say we avoided Jones because of his agent yet picked Holliday with the exact same agent that makes you look....let's just say foolish and uniformed.

You're aware that Holliday is also repped by Boras right? ok just checking 

No, def didn’t know that. Family stuff yesterday. Thank you. Def alters things. I am not a fan of any of the picks after Holiday however. I think they needed to go pitching, pitching and more pitching.

This first pick today better be a pitcher!  It also sounds like Fabian was their plan b.

Is there a HS pitcher available with a good ceiling but less volatility/mechanical question marks than Porter?  

Yeah, Dylan Lesko and Robbie Snelling!  Ooops.

I doubt it but we might find out.

So what you are actually saying is that they should not have gone BPA when you are in fact complaining that they didn’t go BPA.

Can you see how this is confusing to everyone?

Pick #67 was a plan "B"???

But you have time to post here all the time without first doing your simple research?  Maybe a couple fewer posts and a bit more checking to make sure your posts are accurate may be in order.  Just a thought....

I doubt they are going bpa, not sure why you think they are.

So you think they have pitchers rated higher on their board and are passing them up?  That’s your actual belief?

Note:  I don’t care about your rankings and the Orioles don’t care about Mayo’s rankings.

    • How many times has an Oriole rookie tried to establish himself while also dealing with being Mooooore than just a rookie. I think Cowser will be fine and I hope patience prevails. Stats aside, I see something. I mean in all his struggles - ups and downs - that "fun" personality prevails. Gotta root for that - right? MOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
    • He definitely overthrows at times.  To lefties, it’s normally the high and outside overthrow and to righties it’s normally the non competitive high fastball. But overall, he’s really pitching at a high level.    Part of the reason offense is down is because of arms like Rodriguez.  
    • Didn’t see or hear that listed here but that frees open a spot and puts us back at 39.  I wonder if this pre curser to move or not.  They still have Wells spot open as well if they want to use that spot.  
    • The Ian Happ comments are misguided as teams have their own non public defensive metrics. Re Cowser — where have you noticed any reluctance to dive?  There was play the other day (IIRC vs TBR or TBJ?) where he dove and laid out for a ball at LF line that he just missed getting to which would have ended the game.  
    • That's nice but it's a "straw man"argument if I ever saw one.  I'd wager Pete Gray would grade as elite on OAA/DRS but the fact was he only had one arm..... There is no measure other than the "eye test" for accuracy and frankly IMO he's been poor.  He has a strong arm but his last two throws to the plate from short LF and CF (I think) missed by 30 feet on either side of the plate!!  Getting to the ball is important but if you can't hit a cut-his throws tend to sail-how many times have we seen Mateo/Gunnar have to reach for throws then reset....  We saw the other night against Toronto guys are going to run (even slow, chubby ones) against Cowser until he shows enough accuracy to shut them down-and until he does he will continue to give up advances at a rate that erodes the benefit of his coverage skills.   IMO the critical components of an "elite" or plus OF are anticipation, coverage, arm strength, and accuracy.  He's plus on three and hopefully the accuracy will improve as the game slows for him.
