Roll Tide Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 (edited) Quote The Baltimore Orioles scouting department continues to show why they're arguably the best in baseball. While the Orioles' draft picks that have found success have typically been picked early in the draft cycle, they picked at No. 22 and No. 32 on Sunday night and hit their picks out of the park. Quote Jim Bowden of The Athletic wrote about his MLB Draft Day One winners, writing that the Orioles were one of them. "The Orioles didn’t pick until No. 22 but were still able to land center fielder Vance Honeycutt out of North Carolina... If he hits, he’ll be a superstar. And things got even better for the Orioles at pick 32 when they were able to nab shortstop Griff O’Ferrall out of Virginia. "O’Ferrall can really hit, and can stick at shortstop thanks to quick feet and first-step quickness. It’s amazing Baltimore did this well in the first round despite not picking in the top two-thirds of it." One has to wonder what Baltimore was thinking when they drafted two college players. Do they believe that they can play in the near future? Does this allow them to move some of their other top prospects in the next few weeks ahead of the trade deadline? https://www.yardbarker.com/mlb/teams/baltimore_orioles/3 https://www.si.com/mlb/orioles/news/baltimore-orioles-named-winners-of-the-2024-mlb-draft-jon9 Edited July 16 by Roll Tide 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aristotelian Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 I wonder if we will flip any of these guys for pitching in a few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless the rule has changed (and maybe it has, I can't keep up) you can't trade new draftees for like 6 months or something like that.

IIRC teams in the past have put PTBNL in trades to get around that rule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those 2, along with Norby and Stowers are likely the key guys they are shopping in deals and for what is available, they should get us what we need.
