How does Rendon compare to Longoria?

From earlier in the thread.

Yeah. I mean, I don't see him as a ML SS. His range isn't great and his side to side movements are stronger when he's reacting than when he's angling on a ball. He charges REALLY well -- he's a stud 3B and that's where he ends up, I think. Profiles similarly to Longoria (who was a very solid SS at LBSU).

Hypothetically if he were able to play average ML defense at SS I'd basically see him as another late-90s to early 2000s Nomar Garciaparra.

Ahh, missed that..my bad.

Well, certainly would like to have Longoria on the team right now, that's for sure.

I assume Rendon will be a Boras client?

No idea. Hasn't selected an adviser so far as I know.

If they do, I'm done. And I'm not kidding.

No player in the draft is better than Rendon.

I have to agree. It will be bad enough if we win a bunch of games at the end of the year and get the #2 or #3 pick. But if we do have the #1 AND WE STILL miss out on Rendon (assuming he doesn't get injured or something like that) I will officially give up on Orioles baseball.

Right. We'll wind up sweeping Detroit at the end of the year in three meaningless games and some other team will wind up with him.

Before that happens, they'll have to show me they can win three games in a row.

Against anyone.

Then again, North Dakota phenom, Sil Opkram, may have something to say about who goes #1.

Is Gniddik Mautz still available. I have heard some good things. :laughlol:
