Why?  If I’m drafting a guy 1, I’m hoping to have them for 8-10 years, not 4-6.

Because you only have control for 6-7 years.  After that they are allowed to slip the yoke and play for anyone.

Since free will is now in play you don't plan around having them.

If you sign a guy to a three year deal you don't plan around them being there in year five right?

As it stands right now: Rutschman: .302/.420/.722 for 104 OPS+ and  Witt: .299/.450/.749 for 109 OPS+ Despite fairly close hitting statistics, including positional relativity and defens

My disagreement with you comes from the way you express yourself.  Everything that isn’t perfect is “awful” or “lazy.”  Decisions you disagree with are “stupid” or “moronic.”   Some things have m

I think both will be very good players.  I think age and position mean that the bulk of AR best years will be while under Oriole control.  Could he play 10 years of peak ball?  Perhaps.  Witt, will li

Ok.  No problem.  So you think they are wrong as far as the defensive value they attach to the position.

On one hand you have years of analysis and unbelievable amounts of data.

On the other hand you got some dude at his computer.

 

Gotta side with Sportsguy on this one, he obviously is the expect.

I think the C position is overrated.  Yes, getting premium offense out of that position is harder than anywhere else, that I agree with.  But the defensive side of things means something to me and I think C defense is way overrated.

 

Did you watch Pedro Severino the last few years? Pretty good hitter, apparently a great teammate, but his defensive weakness really hurt the team.

Yea I think people place too high of an importance on the C position and the C stats we have are poor and are all to be taken with a grain of salt. 
 

Add in the decrease in the run game and more pitches being called from the dugouts and i feel the position is valued too high defensively.

I think that laymen overestimate the value of middle infielders with the increase in fly balls and strike outs.

If the game continues to go the way it is, this may become true as well.  Things evolve.  Things change.

Now, if they ban the shift, the flyball stuff will start to dissipate imo, at least to the level it is.

Seems strange to me to be analyzing which .200ish hitter the O's should have chosen. 

Using this SSS maybe the O's should have selected Andrew Vaughn. 

Adley already has more WAR this season than Vaughn does in 199 ML games.

Because my plan would be to extend them early.

And yes, they may not do it but my thought process when I draft them 1 isn’t, well they are leaving after their service time is up.  My thought process is that I’m drafting a guy to have for a decade and that is the same as any GMs thought process when drafting that high.  You are hoping to get a franchise, cornerstone player and those aren’t players you want to lose too early.

I strongly disagree with your thought process.

I'm not basing my draft on if a 17 year old is going to sign an extension in five years.

Interesting how many big C prospects there are right now, according to MLB Pipeline you've got 2) Álvarez, 6) Moreno, 13) Cartaya, 17) Davis, 31) Langeliers 35) Soderstrom, and we've just seen two interesting prospects drafted in Parada and Susac. 

Am I wrong in worrying that Adley's skillset as a top catcher will become a bit less rare in the coming years? Or is this just your usual list of prospects and there will be attrition with only a few making it?

You would think after watching Severino and AR, you would value the difference between one of the worst catchers and one of the best.

And yet, Adley can’t throw anyone out and that is one of the things people put on a pedestal when it comes to C defense.  In fact, his throwing has looked pretty poor.  

And btw, im not saying it’s not important.  Defense is important everywhere but I don’t think people have any idea how to properly gage it.

People actually thought Chirinos  was a big reason we were pitching better, yet his WAR is worse than a replacement player.  
 

It’s all overblown.

      Yes and at one point was a higher rated prospect in their system than Aaron Judge. It took awhile with the bat but he was always an amazing athlete with the ability for defensive wizardry.

      I put this ridiculousness in the game recap, but I think it belongs here as well.  Using AI you can really make some crazy stuff. 😂 https://suno.com/song/8f21dd9e-af4e-4284-9f23-c566260ca6ce

      Draft Targets 2 Months Out

      By Jammer7 · Posted

      I was listening to MLB Prospects podcast last week. They talked about Gillen, and mentioned a lot about how he may be the best high school hitter. However, it’s a tough call where he’ll go because of a weak arm. They said the arm was injured, a right labrum, and his arm strength is not back after two years. So, probably wasn’t going to be a SS anyway when said and done due to size, maybe a 2B/LF or CF profile due to the weak arm and 60 speed. He was projected to maybe become the top high school player in the draft as a sophomore, but injured the shoulder and had some other injuries that have held him back. It is going to be interesting to see where Elias goes with picks 22 and 32. I would like to see Gillen there, but I think he’ll be gone. Kellon Lindsey is interesting, and maybe Billy Amick, along with one of the previous college hitters you mentioned will sneak through. Lindsey is rising fast.

      A good friend of mine coaches college baseball.  He’s studied and dedicated his career to understanding how humans move. Not all humans move the same way.  An incredible talent could potentially be taught to move against his body’s preference and fail.  New wave progressive coaches understand how various body types work and the nuance to teach/coach them effectively.

      I'm still trying to figure out how this guy is out of the majors for 7 years and somehow manages to pick up 2 MPH on his fastball, at the age of 34.  But hey, I'm not complaining.   Statcast loves him so far this year.  Statcast thought he was a little unlucky in his last stint in the majors, and unsurprisingly they think he's getting a little lucky now, but even accounting for his good luck he's still in great pitcher territory.
