Love Friday nights- colleges send their best pitchers out to the mound to square off.

Deck Mcguire pitched well, but was defeated by our own Maryland Terrapins. He had 8 IP 7 hits (2 HR) 3 BB 6 K's.

My man, Drew Pomeranz, was his usual dominant self: 6 IP 1 hit! 2 BB 9 K's.

Danny Hultzen was phenomenal for 8 IP 3 hits 1 BB 12 K's.

Christian Colon is 1-2 so far tonight.

Too bad Hultzen is a 2011 guy, he would fit nicely at 1:3 as a college arm with good stuff and good polish and fantastic approach and some polish. Just out of curiosity, how is Matt Harvey doing this season so far? Talk about a guy who actually didn't benefit from going to college as far as his big payday is concerned....

Harvey is looking very good -- just spoke with an AL evaluator who had nothing but good things to say.

I would be surprised if Hultzen is in top 5 consideration next year -- honestly, probably not top 15 for me right now (though he's a very impressive kid). Just so much high-level talent in the '11 class....

I guess his pure stuff just isn't up there with the others, but I meant had he been in the 2010 draft, he would be a decent choice at 1:3, but next year he will have many guys ahead of him...

Thats nice to hear about Harvey, hopefully he can continue to pitch well and work his way back up the draft board. The biggest thying I noticed about Harvey was the fact that in HS reports I read, he sat in the low 90's and touched 95, but whenever I saw him pitch, he topped out at around 92-ish....I hope his velo is back 100%......

He's an excellent pitcher. It's just tough when you think about the top players in the draft next year:

Rendon

Jungmann

Norris

Purke

Meyer

Gray

Bundy

Bradley-J

Harrison

Bradley-A

Hultzen

etc.

It's a tough group to gain any ground on. Just a silly amount of talent -- silly.

      Well it certainly doesn't look like he'll be winning Rookie of Year award. And if we send him down for like the tiniest amount of time, we get him for another year, right? I think if this poor hitting continues it's financial mismanagement not to send him back down. Grayson got sent down and came back way better.

      He certainly isn't a bust but I wasn't happy with the pick at the time and I don't love using the second overall pick for that type of player profile. Westburg signed for slot so he's irrelevant but Mayo was a great use of the money saved.

      Think Heston will be the next call up. Mayo’s K/BB ratio is poor and I think they’ll want to see that even out. Stowers and Norby have seen their numbers slip a bit.  It will likely take an injury to an outfielder or first baseman, but I think we see HK next.

      I have to laugh at some of my pre-draft thoughts as well as others. I will say on behalf of myself and some others is that what we did not understand then was what the Orioles brain trust knew to be their model, and what they best developed. What traits they were looking for is an important thing to know, in hindsight anyway. And really, the Jackson Holliday leap in development was not something most of us heard anything about until about a month before the draft. I saw him the previous summer and I cannot say he was all that impressive, but it was only one look. His physicality took a big jump after that.  I will also add that we’re never going to know what would have happened if they drafted Austin Martin, Jones, Lawler, Lacy, etc. Their development could well have been different as O’s. The funny part of this board, in general, is the absolute certainty some have in their opinions and how eager they are to trash Elias and staff. There is plenty of humility to go around, now that things have played out. It’s fun to finally have a truly great front office and ownership group, and a stacked stable of horses.
