Is there any possible chance Matt Davidson slips to us at 2:5?

That's the player I'm hoping drops but I agree with AllStar. I think one of the teams with multiple picks in the first two rounds will select Davidson before the Orioles select in the 2nd round.

How far has Florida Southern's Robbie Shields fallen?

A bit, but it's hard to say how far. Div - 2 guys generally get taken lower because of the lack of competition they face, but I'd say 3rd-4th? He's had a ton of errors this year 16 in 57 games, so that can't help you. If you are a D-2 guy you have to put up absolutely unbelievable numbers to go high, his are good, they just aren't record setting or anything.

Tune into the mock tonight, you'll see some guys that will make you go "oh wow, I'd really rather have THAT guy".

What are some of the guys you like in rounds 2-5? I like some of the names that have been tossed around on here like Mendonca, Krauss, Heathcott, Glaesmann, Marrero, etc..and I'm hoping that we're able to take advantage of some of the falling talent like Ian Krol and Luke Bailey.

Too early. Someone can get him in the 3rd-5th somewhere.

I think he'll be snapped up before we get a chance to grab him in the 3rd.

Catchers are at a premium, especially ones like Bailey. I bet he goes in the 2nd round at the latest.

      I don't think they want credit for Grayson after last night. 😉

      Good catch.   The announcers said he missed the first cutoff man and I accepted that but I just watched it again and Holliday isn’t in position. On the other hand, a more experienced or heads up OF realizes he should just one hop a throw to Henderson covering 2B to keep the hitter from advancing.

      McKenna learning second base?!

      If we're talking about doing things with low likelihood of success and minimal utility they could see if he could become a serviceable AAA 5th starter. Will be interesting to see if he can violate the axiom that rightward shifts on the defensive spectrum rarely work.

      We'll probably be lucky if Means can come back and give us Cole Irvin-type performances. The pitching has been pretty awful across the board, so throw as many things at the wall and hope something sticks. Outside of Burnes, there are holes everywhere.

      I like the sentiment of the OP. We are getting close to the all homegrown lineup. Santa is at least a guy that we can say that he’s never played in the MLB for another team.

      Tue Apr 23: Orioles send 7 top-42 picks from the last 6 drafts out to face the Angels

      By DrungoHazewood · Posted

      No clue. My guess is that if there's any effect at all, it's that getting kicked out is pretty highly correlated to currently losing the game (you don't argue as much if you're winning). And most teams that are losing at some point in the game eventually lose.

      You mean the Montgomery who had a 9.0 ERA AGAINST US in the playoffs and still won?  Yeah. Bud you keep beating this horse, but as it turned out the Orioles didn't pitch, hit or play def the same way in the playoffs.  IF they had done that, perhaps it would have proven that the pitching was the reason the 23 playoffs ended for the O's.  I mean I agree that I wish we had gotten Montgomery.  But if Grayson pitched against Texas the way he pitched against Tampa or Wash in his last two starts...at the very least the O's do not get swept.  And maybe they get on a roll.  We don't know. We do know that the best hitter for the Orioles in the playoffs last year was Jorge Mateo who outhit the entire team in one game (except Gunnar) going 4-5 in Game 3.  That kinda tells you something. And not specifically to your point, but even though Bradish exited game one in 4.2 innings, he outlasted Heaney for the Rangers.  Game one comes down to the Jacob Webb HR, otherwise the bull pen does good work.  Win Game 1 and well everything looks different.  It didn't.  But not because of the point you consistently make that the Orioles failed to get a starter like Montgomery.   They failed to perform pretty widely.  As is won't to do in a three game series. Simply repeating it over and over, doesn't make it so.
