I forget some of the details of the biography, but wasn't some of the Bundy myth his dad training him.    The anchor points from my childhood for things like that are Todd Marinovich, and Steffi Graf/Andre Agassi, which I think helps that couple.     

Sometimes it works, but maybe not a kid or human friendly thing to do.     Woulda been nice if he were Steffi Graf, though.

Also in the category of Buck's AAA pitchers I noticed "McFarland" got the win last night....I did not need to click to see who that was.

Grayson and Hall still count as prospects.

I know you're down on Grayson but seriously?

Povich is absolutely ahead of Hall for me, and I think you'll find that will be the norm for publications pretty soon. Better stuff and better chance to stick as a SP. Grayson I just wasn't counting as a prospect still, but you're right that he technically is still one. So I guess I'd put Povich 2nd.

Better stuff?  Okay, now that's just not right.

Lopez for Cano (at the time a late-bloomer relief prospect, and listed on the Orioles prospect list) and Povich, our current best pitching prospect. 

Apparently you missed the post where I admitted I had mistakenly not included that trade. Povich is probably our second or 3rd best pitching prospect still.

He was a victim of a bunch of guys thinking they had everything figured out and no one else knew what they were doing.  His weight training regime, throwing routine, etc… created the injuries that we was just never able to truly come back from.  It’s not his fault. He was a kid.  But the people around him should have maybe been a bit less stubborn. 

"...and as a high school junior in 2010 threw 181 pitches over two games on the same day."

I think Grayson’s prospect status expired yesterday.  Today is his 46th day of major league service.

OK, I'm now on board with calling Povich the #1 or 2 pitching prospect in the system.

Seven starts, ERA of 3.82, averaging fewer than 5 innings a start.  Great K rate but the 3.8 BB rate is going to bother the folks that think command is all-important.

I definitely remember there were debates on this board about whether he had gotten out of shape after he came back from surgery.  I was on the Bundy is out of shape side.  But what I most remember is Keith Law writing that sources told him the calcification in his shoulder was unprecedented and he would never be the same.  

Prior to those calcification reports about Bundy, my wife had outpatient surgery on calcification in her shoulder. Unfortunately, it returned. Very painful.  When I heard about Bundy, I knew it wasn't good.

Maybe he did roids....maybe not.  I do know that the fitness level he was pushing at the age of 18 was not necessary to be a long time great pitcher.  Look at Mussina and Palmer.  Being very fit and running and probably light weights is enough.  Lifting heavy as a pitcher just doesnt seem that wise.  But maybe I am wrong.

      Elias: It's on me

      What is unsettling to me is in how much better a position the team appeared to be in last year at this (approximate) time.

      I love this team, I love the Orioles

      I love the Orioles but after the last three decades it is no longer unconditional love anymore from me.  The Orioles are going to have to put out once in a while to keep my interest.  They got to let us go all the way once in a while.

      Elias: It's on me

      The Baltimore Orioles are still one of the best teams in all of baseball.  They still have an awful lot going for them.  Unfortunately, the while the distance between World Series winner and close but no cigar is not that much in the overall win column during the season, the things they need to go right, and the things they need to do to improve are still pretty massive. Compounding this is the fact that they can do everything necessary and it is still possible it won't work.  I don't say that as an excuse.  Elias is going to be measured by playoff appearances and the success that brings.  He has been engineer of two playoff teams and a near miss.  He still has as many wins with his near miss and his rebuilding teams in the playoffs as his two playoff teams.  It is certainly fine to criticize that. Of course he says it is on him.  One because it is, and two because any good GM would do the same.  But the Orioles are no longer building towards being good.  They are good and no one is going to give them anything.  There is work to be done to make this team better positioned to compete in the post season.   And the Angelos family is no longer a hinderance. I am as disappointed as everyone else and in general I am a root for the uniform not the player guy.  These guys have been fun to root for, but the second half and this playoff run was tough to stomach.  I hope that to give this team the chance to compete, they add a #1 TOR pitcher and another playoff caliber starter before the season starts.  I also hope they add a playoff experienced RH bat.  Trade, sign, whatever.  The window is open.  Whatcha gonna do?

      I doubt any GM has ever done that.  Maybe he can be the first, he could hold a big press conference and everything.  Go Elias, go!

      Elias is also a known liar.  So take what he says with a grain of salt.
