And lets not forget about some of the CC and JC guys. Damien Magnifico has an awesome name and an awesome fastball, but not much else, and probably not a JJ type of guy, but I still love the name :)

Curious if anyone has heard anything about Kevin Brady...He is an 11 guy, but its fun to keep tabs on who we could have signed...

Can't forget about Osich either who got hurt this year. He was gonna try to be a SP this year, but that went out the window. I don't know if he seems like a JJ guy either, but we will see.....

If we don't take Machado or Colon with the #3 pick in the first round, I just hope that Rutledge is still on the board when we get to our pick in round three. And we take him. Hard to tell what Jordan is thinking, but I would love to see the Orioles invest in some positional players if Jordan thinks they represent good value for the pick position. If the Bucs take Taillon at #2, I think it is likely between Machado or Colon for us. Just my two cents.

Rutledge seems to be playing pretty well in the CWS Regionals, here is the latest from ESPN "Alabama shortstop Josh Rutledge went 4-for-5 with home run No. 9 on the season in the Tide's win over Elon on Friday. Rutledge, considered by some to be a candidate for Round 3, is hitting .366/.405/.537 with 26 extra-base hits and 14 stolen bases."

He is someone I'd love to see us grab in Round 3.

Im liking what I see. Is he a guy that will be around in round 3? Where is he projected to be picked?

Don't see him sticking at SS. Heard many teams agree -- could be headed to LSU given his asking price.

Chad Lewis - 3B Marina HS, Huntington Beach, Calif.

Could be a target in round 4.

I love this kid. Im hoping he is this years Coffey.

Zach Lee - P

McKinney HS, Texas, Sr.

http://mlb.mlb.com/video/play.jsp?topic_id=8080130&content_id=8192863

The football issue will probably lead him to drop. He would be an absolute steal.

I would love to see the O's select Hunter Morris. 6'2" power hitter with good plate discipline, who was selected by the Red Sox in the second round of the 2007 draft. Here is a link to an interview with Morris.

Anybody have thoughts about Derek Dietrich? I think last year he was projected as a 1st rounder, but didn't have as good a year at the plate or in the field as a junior.

Most feel he will have to move off SS and over to 3B. The bid question is the same as Cox and Machado for that matter. POWER. He can't run and doesn't have the range to stay at shortstop. If he moves to third, he'll have to hit with some pop, and there are those who question how much power he'll have in the future.

      Thank you. I knew there was something bogus about that post. I saw Cal play SS. And Gunnar is no Cal at SS. Not even close. And this is coming from a big fan of Gunnar. I would like to see him play a traditional power position. Call me old fashioned. He’s hurting the team at SS.

      Interesting.  We live in a data obsessed world now but it's not the answer to everything.  There should be a mix.

      I doubt solid MLB pitchers can be acquired just by trading position players the vast majority of the time.  Look at how we acquired Bradish and Povich -- by trading solid (at the time anyway) MLB level pitchers.  In those trades we were on the other end, but we forced teams to trade good young pitchers for Bundy and Lopez respectively.  Now we did acquire McDermott and Seth Johnson by trading Trey Mancini.  So it does happen that pitching can sometimes be acquired trading only a position player, but Mancini had had a strong major league career to that point.  My point is I don't think you can expect to acquire pitching only by trading position players -- but if you can it may need to be a strong veteran that is not easy to part with. Perhaps we could acquire Tarik Skubal for just Jackson Holliday -- or Holliday plus one or two other strong position prospects.  But that would be a whole other level of a blockbuster trade. Also, I'm not sure how we can say the system is bereft of homegrown minor league pitching talent and then complain that we traded Baumeister and Chace -- two homegrown minor league pitchers that everyone here seems to agree are talented.  We can criticize the trade, but clearly there was and probably still are some desirable arms in the system that we'd rather not trade.  No, none of the ones Elias drafted have made it to the bigs yet, but maybe those two would have been among the first.

      Seth Johnson on the Phillies' "philosophy": Orioles are data driven, Phillies are more "old school". I don't get much out of this but it's a data point. https://www.nbcsportsphiladelphia.com/mlb/philadelphia-phillies/seth-johnson-mlb-debut-phillies-orioles-trade/613582/ “I think the big thing is that Baltimore is very data-based,” he said. “Here’s a nice blend of the numbers and baseball strategy. Kind of old school. And I’ve been really enjoying it so far. For me, it’s kind of simplified everything. Concentrating on basic concepts like moving the fastball around. Not worrying about pitch shapes all the time. Just going out here and trying to pitch.”

      If we have room, why wouldn't we add Pham and Van Loon just to have available depth in AAA (whether or not they are at risk of being taken)?

      I think Young will be added, and that is it. I like Pham, but no AAA experience makes him unlikely to be taken. Whatever open spots should be used to upgrade the bullpen and other pitching depth. It is well documented here that we don’t have much beyond raw guys like Strowd and Heid. we lack flexibility and options. This has to change.
