This team is actually worse than they were last year.

I know it's probably Witt this year...is there a generational talent projected next year so we can at least enjoy this crap festival and look forward to getting a superstar?

What exactly happened to that guy? I’d read he was the next Ripken, next thing he’s bouncing around as a bench player then cut |

I think so. I feel like Bobby Witt Jr has a big bust rate. I hope Orioles take Witt or Vaughn so we can get Ruschman but Vaughn looks to be a legit bat who can help us 3 years quicker than Witt. Just kind low value to draft a 1B as a #2 overall pick who can't play anywhere else.

If the Orioles take Vaughn, the Royals would still take Witt over Rutschman based on what’s being chatted about in the prospect community. I don’t agree with it, but they’re in love with Witt. They’d take him 1-1 if they had the top pick, according to Twitter. Quote:
It’s hard to explain. His K rate wasn’t that bad in the minors. Just couldn’t hit major league pitching well enough. |

Vaughn is short for a first baseman. That's a major red flag.

Spencer Torkelson from Arizona State would be a great option. Kid is a hitting machine.

I watched Joakim Soria pitch against the Angels in the 9th tonight. Predict his outcome.
Soria gets the first two outs in the inning and then does he? A. Allow La Stella to single, bringing up Mike Trout B. Walk Trout C. Throw a wild pitch D. Allow Ohtani to single, driving in two runs E. All of the Above I know he got a hard time in his second stint with KC, but woof, that inning brought up an all too real recurring horror while he was here. |

If there was that type of talent in next year’s draft, we’d know more about him right now. But that doesn’t mean there can’t be a Casey Mize or Rutschman/Vaughn. There are a few college arms from UGA/UF and Torkelson that will be projected at the top of the draft. Lot can change between now and then. |

Can't embed on my phone (for whatever reason), but here's that beautiful first pitch in case you missed it

Torkelson is yet another first baseman.
