Is this a insurance pick if Mullins walks after 2024?

Insurance for Mullins, but also I think this is just insurance in general. It’s going to be our last draft not picking in the late 20’s for a long time.  Hopefully. Also, it’s insurance to keep stocking the system with NCAA bats, in case we have to trade some of our prospects for at the deadline or in the offseason.  
 

Elias keeps drafting elite defenders. Adley, Gunnar, Ortiz, Cowser, Fabian, and Bradfield. Even Mayo has a big time arm, and looks like he could be an elite defender at 1B. 

It will be interesting to see where we go in round 3 with our two picks, since P seems to be the best available players.

For conttext:

2022 - McLean was picked 81st.

2021 - Tavera was pick 137.

2020 - Baumler was pick 133.

2019 - McLarty was pick 228.

I suspect Elias and Sig feel like the system has a strong positional floor.  And the model/game plan was weighted toward pitchers.  It'll be interesting to see how much these guys sign for and if we have a nugget or two in the hopper for after round 10.

Looking at this year's draft board, it appears that the Os draft strategy has morphed slightly when it comes to position players. It appears that speed is now a major consideration in the evaluation process, moreso than in the Elias previous draft classes. Personally, I really enjoy watching speed on the bases.

    • They are a bunch of simp libtards now, you'd fit in well
    • Trade for trout while his is stock is low. Bit of a gamble, but he's a leader that needs a change of scenery. He is our RF/ DH middle of the order RH bat to replace santander  If we can keep him healthy, he might be the veteran presence we need. We have the salary space for his contract 
    • I'm rooting against the Yankees this weekend. Hasn't gotten close to that point for me. The 2016 WC game was the worst because of the Britton situation. The 2014 Royals series was awful. I don't know that this loss was even as bad as last year's vs the Rangers where it felt like we could go all the way. This was just a wild card team vs a wild card team that could go either way, and some bounces didn't go our way and young players couldn't handle the pressure. It's best-of-3, it happens.
    • I'm older than most here. The pain of being a sports fan in Baltimore in 1969 make this year's playoff sweep seem trivial. All three of our local pro teams had great regular seasons. The Colts were a sure thing to beat the upstart Jets in Super Bowl III. No way the mighty Orioles would lose to the Mets in the World Series. And I thought for sure the Bullets might beat the Knicks in the NBA semifinals. Talk about long lasting pain ...
    • Come on man, that's a crock. I've been as frustrated as anyone watching Adley's approach at the plate and his uppercut swing. But to say he's the kind of guy that makes excuses is way out of line. I have no doubt Adley will work on getting his body, swing and mind right in the off-season. 
    • I was given three free tix to see them in Durham in '23. They oversold the tix, ie. the seats were not assigned, first come / first serve,  the line to get in was ridiculously long, and we had to stand in the miserable heat and humidity of a NC summer.  Worst baseball in person experience of my life. Just goofy from the little I got to see in the three person deep standing room only crowd. We left after three innings or whatever they call it in their version of the game. Way too loud, too. Just too much BS going on. It was like the baseball version of drinking WAY too much gin and fruit punch and the wild colors give you the bed spins.
