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.

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      Am I crazy for thinking Burnes isn't going to sniff Cole's deal?  I'm thinking like 7/260-280.  I don't think he's going to sniff Cole's deal.  For starters i dont think hes as good a pitcher as Cole was at the time of his signing.  Also, the Yankees aren't going to be in the bidding so that leaves the Mets, Giants, Nats, Orioles as teams that can afford him.  The Sox could too, but they're on the fringe of contention and might opt to develop more with the Yankees and Orioles solidly ahead of them in division.  Only the Mets from that list really seem like teams that would go over 300m for a pitcher, but they will be pressed for money because of the luxury tax.

      Agree a strong RHP bullpen arm that misses bats would be good to add. Looking at Spotrac I don’t see who it would be. Dominguez could certainly be someone that could fill this role.

      O's target? Roki Sasaki

      It looks like I misread your post as being about last offseason instead of the 2017-2018 offseason.  My mistake, but does that in any way affect my overall point - you know the part that I made explicit and you left out of your response - that all the old, reflexive Angelosian nonsense no longer automatically applies? I'm unclear on what you're driving at, especially if I have to go back to the 2017-2018 offseason when Peter Angelos might still have been giving input on running the team.  I think it's a stretch to try to draw parallels to those days, or even the John Angelos years, to David Rubenstein potential as an owner.

      Irsay stealing the Colts in a midnight sneak away is in my top five depressing B-More moments, as well as the dreaded We Are Family Pirates in the ‘79 series. Otherwise, it’s a good bad list.

      I forgot the name of the movie, but Jimmy Fallon was playing a BoSox superfan (tough role for an NY kid) and it was during the era of the ‘curse’ (right at the end of it actually) — a kid he was coaching asked, “What have the Red Sox ever done for you?” His character didn’t have an answer. But it made me think. The movie was out during the 14-years of losing seasons. I asked myself the same question about whether a lifetime of fandom was worth it. For me, outside of my family - 15 generations or more on the Eastern Shore - the O’s are also part of my DNA.  Win, lose, lose horribly, lose ugly, bad ownership, they just can’t shake me. All that said, I totally understand the frustration. It will take me a little longer to heal from this ugly exit to 2024.
