So you saw speculation... three years ago? How confident are you that the speculation is true? Do you remember who was doing the speculating?

Was just providing information.

Do with it what you will.

And calm down a bit.

But I mean, do you not see how irresponsible that you're being? This is how weird rumors get started and perpetuated.

At the time I saw speculation that the O's preferred target was picked before they had a chance to grab him and that Willems was a contingency plan.

Ok.   So?

I've started to look thru Elias' past drafts and he's obviously had great success in the first 2 rounds and the supplemental rounds.  After that he's had very poor results.  No one gets great results after the 2nd round but I think Elias' might be even below average.  I noticed in the 2021 draft he took no hs picks but only college picks.  IMO, it wouldn't hurt to keep the same strategy for the first 2 round with the occasional 2nd round/supplemental pick for the standout pitcher.  For round 3-10, concentrate on high upside college pitchers who will probably be relievers (omg, you're drafting relievers).  Relievers and high minor relievers are some of the most valuable trade capital.  Also pick a few high upside hs bats.  These would be obvious overslots and would necessitate take a couple of senior signs.  Rounds 11-20 are college players and some hs arms.  These are probably organizational players although you might hit on a lottery ticket or two. 

Joey Ortiz, a 4th rounder, is a candidate for rookie of the year. 
 

Darell Hernaiz, a 5th rounder, drafted out of HS has made his MLB debut at the age of 22.

      It takes Orioles rookies 60 or 70 at bats to get their first two hits.

      Tell me how can Harbaugh help him when he doesn't know how to help himself. Harbs is the worst at burning timeouts stupidly then not having any when they are needed at crunch time.

      9/15: O's Head Home After A Loss To The Tigers

      By Baseball fandom · Posted

      Yes the same here. They are going to the playoffs and yet I have no feeling towards it whatsoever. Weird feeling. Like you just know they are going to get bounced in the first round. It looks inevitable. I mean you could make a case the Tigers are more deserving of the Orioles spot. They are playing some great baseball of late.

      Man Baltimore sports has not been kind. The Orioles are on a  3 month tailspin and the Ravens did what they do best and blew another double digit 4th quarter lead to a inferior team.  Let's see if the Orioles can right the ship,  though I'm not holding my breath on that one at all. Yikes.

      Idk how impactful this was, probably pretty low on the list of problems, but this is the 2nd straight week that Lamar threw the ball late in the game and the receiver was unable to get oob.  The ball to Bateman is probably excusable because we had more time on the clock and we needed the deep ball to be in position to make a run, but this time throwing a 12 yard dump to Andrews was just straight up stupid IMO.  I get that they're going to play outside leverage all day every day in this situation but just throw it away and try to take another shot.  Lamar has to have more clock awareness than that,  and Harbaugh has to instill in him the importance of saving those seconds on the clock.

      FIX THE DANG HITTING!

      By now · Posted

      Sorry but that response from Fuller sounds to me like too many words, concepts, abstractions, and if that's how he communicates, wordy and convoluted, it's a lot for hitters to carry "into the box." Not to mention all the specifics involved, re. what pitches and locations to look for, all the analytics of how to do the swing and torque the body, etc. I'm no coach but I can imagine a whole season of this approach just becomes information overload. Maybe it's not rocket science, after all (with all due respect to ex-NASA Sig). Maybe the antidote is more Zen: just see the pitch and hit the dang thing.  BTW I think the analytical, overthinking approach is better suited to the pitching side, where you can plan your attack based on all the data. Hitting is more reaction, no time to think. You can't beat pitching using the same approach--rather, need the opposite approach, to counter with instinct and intuition. At least, that's my cheap (2 cents) advice!

      The proposition that every auction automatically results in an overpay is simplified indeed.  Granted, "kind of true" is a low bar to clear, but still...
