I'm thinking the O's lay a turd in at least one of the next 4-5 seasons. Perhaps a tangential value analysis for guys like Adley, Gunnar and GRod might be how well the O's can re-stock the farm system by trading them as opposed to extending them.
I could be overstating this, but in Elias' first few draft years, it seemed like he hoarded SS and CF in the draft, figuring they were such good athletes they could move anywhere on the field. But as Tony pointed out, Elias seemed to avoid pitching picks. If that were the case in one draft I would understand, but it was multiple drafts. It shouldn't shock anyone that our pitching depth in the minors is shallow.
