A "1" for speed? Does this guy play in a wheelchair? A 1?

He looked good last year as well....Baseball Cube rates him highly.

Gonna have to work on that speed. lol

Defense – Limited range limits him to first base and right field, must improve to add left field to repertoire

Sounds like a total waste. I'm sure we could have grabbed another arm somewhere here.

Obando first talked about this guy. He'll be happy...

Didn't know he played 3B, but I doubt he'd stick there.

I bet we go over slot to convince him to leave and play for the hometown O's...

I like this pick but would Dominguez, the third baseman from Louisville, have been the better pick?(he went right after Townsend)

Who goes by those ratings on Baseball Cube? They're an absolute joke. A 1 speed, c'mon, seriously?

I see chimps, a hat and 100 numbers labeled 1-100 in that hat whenever I look at a players numbers on that site.

Helton like potential

Is there an actual staff creating those ratings or just regular users?

LOL yea...Was just sighting a quick scouting report.

A 1 on speed is like you are dead...I mean, is he slower than Benji Molina?
