What were you hoping for?   There is a reason Baumeister got picked 63 and some had him rated lower.    At this point it all means nothing.   He throws 92-96 and just turned 21 and has good size.   I don’t care where he’s ranked now.   I care where he’s ranked at this time next here, hopefully after he’s made big strides.    

They have him 31st in our system.  I was expecting him to be more like top 20.

Enrique Bradfield made the most $ last year at 59k.  Baseball NIL deals are not very lucrative like football and basketball can be.

Ditto.   Every team has different opinions on prospects, as does every analyst.  I’ve heard Longenhagen interviewed and he humbly says he couldn’t possibly know as much about a player as a team with many scouts and a lot of data at their disposal to which he doesn’t have access (though he does have access to a lot).   So, the fact that Longenhagen liked a lower-drafted prospect better than a higher-drafted one is interesting, but not very concerning to me.  And he’s my favorite of the national analysts.

They usually go by draft order.  It’s usually not an exact science.   I thought someone said #12 Bradfield, #22 Horvath, and #31 Baumeister.   I wouldn’t get too caught up in that.    We probably have the lowest ranked 2023 1st round pick, by far, of any teams top 20.

They have Lord and Josenberg ahead of him.  It’s more just interesting that a guy everyone was worrying we wouldn’t sign and we sent overslot for is not as highly thought of by Longenhagen.

As I'm sure you know, that would be a statement about how strong our prospect list is, as opposed to a low rating of Bradfield.

I’ve said as much.  It’s funny in a good way.  In the old days Bradfield would be an automatic top 5 immediately after the draft.

Did Baumeister even pitch in the minors this year?  I don't see any stats for him.  I was hoping he was someone who could move fast and maybe even get to the majors by the end of 2024.  I guess not.

According to MiLB.com, he has no stats.

      Difference in trading vets from a team still in rebuild mode versus trading vets from a team with World Series aspirations.  We've not seen him trade vets since the rebuild ended.

      Understood. But here's the thing (given the current economic structure of the game) there are three ways to handle payroll for a winning team (as I see them). One is the Rays/Brewers/Guardians way. Where you have maybe one long term substantive contract (mostly done while player is young and before he has made real money or achieved real fame) and most of the time the contract is an exploitive type deal with a kid from another country who comes from a context of poverty (not judging it is what it is). These teams continuously are reloading/retooling/ and have constant roster reshaping and turnover. The goal is to make the postseason and hopeful every once in a blue moon the stars align while you are there and you may be able to go all the way! While these teams are often good, they are rarely great. And are even less willing to do what it takes to get them over the top IMO. The proof is in the fact that this model has never led to championship success (unless you want to use the Marlins of over 20 years ago from 03'). Another model is the "big spenders model", who spend seriously and have World Series aspirations. Some spend all on FA (like the Padres/Mets) and are super aggressive with trades hoping to augment their talent as they chase championships, but rarely does this work because the foundation of the team is usually built so poorly. They may be good for a season or shorter term but struggle to sustain. Then there are teams like the Phillies/Dodgers who do a combo of developing and spending (let's call that the best of both worlds). Obviously this is the most preferable because you get the short and long term rewards. But it may not be realistic to think that the O's could ever do/have what it takes to fully do both. Then there is the Braves and Astros model. Still a higher payroll but minimizing of risks through extending younger players (Braves) or avoiding most long term contracts (Astros) but paying higher salaries on shorter deals. Obviously both franchises have been successful (won WS). Having said all this the reality exists that if/when you do longer term contracts (extensions or FA deals) for franchise/cornerstone/superstar type players, you most likely won't get the best value on the back end (think Paul Goldschmidt this year). That's just the economics of the game. But the thing is, the owners (especially our new group) have the money and then some to write off those things and keep rolling as "the cost of doing business".  When examining all winners of the World Series in the last decade a pattern is pretty apparent (with exception of the Astros first championship in 17') you have to spend in order to win.

      Poll - Would you trade McDermott for Scherzer straight up?

      By Greg Pappas · Posted

      An alternative... also from the Rangers:  Nathan Eovaldi.  FA after this season but has a $20m vesting option for 2025 if he throws 300 innings combined between '23 & '24.  It'll be close.  Between Scherzer (40 this month) and Eovaldi (34) who would you prefer?

      Bowden on some Os related deadline thoughts

      By Big Mac · Posted

      That's a fair assessment.  I wouldn't be willing to give up a whole lot for him but I'd at least inquire rather than just dismissing the possibility out of hand based on what he did last year (which is not what you were doing).

      2024 MLB Draft Chat

      Really interesting article on Brecht by Mellissa Lockhart in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5606772/2024/07/03/brody-brecht-mlb-draft-iowa-football-baseball/ Sounds like a kid who is super coachable.  "Brecht has big-league stuff, but questions remain about whether he can command his arsenal well enough to be effective against major-league hitters, especially in a starter’s role. Law noted in his mock draft that Brecht is “a college pitcher who’s less polished than his peers, with athleticism and arm strength that point to more upside.” Heller says major-league organizations only have to look at the improvements Brecht made from his sophomore to junior season to see how much room there is for him to continue to grow as a pitcher. “It shows you the aptitude that Brody has and the ability to make adjustments and change,” Heller said. “Not everybody has that. It’s not easy to do and Brody did it in a very short time.”
