Look at Ray Ray Run Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 2 hours ago, Chicago White Sox said: This is a pretty extreme take IMO. That's fine, I'm just not a big fan of his game and think his positive (Highish floor) shouldn't be what the Sox are targeting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolle Tide Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 11 hours ago, Harold's Leg Lift said: That's why I never got in. I never thought Elias would offer the type of players the Sox are looking for and I have yet to hear anything to make me think otherwise. Honestly, if Elias wasn’t even in the zip code in regards to players we wouldn’t continue to hear that talks continue, the Orioles are front runners, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what he thinks of Cowser who really struggled in his 1st attempt this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Coming around to roll the dice with the new defense and get a 25-30% better return at the deadline. It’s like trading Dak Prescott, Tua, Trevor Lawrence or even Justin Fields (as of this week) when we believe Dylan’s truly an elite guy in the right situation and should be properly valued as one of the top ten out of 150 instead of merely top 25-30% or whatever. Orioles fans are acting like he is Kirk Cousins. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could he be a target? “One of the strongest arms in the system, if not the Minor Leagues, works very well for third base. Even though he currently moves surprisingly well for his size, there are concerns that he will outgrow the ability to play third and there’s a chance he ends up at first or left field when all is said and done. The kind of consistent power production the Orioles think he can provide will work from any spot on the diamond.” If they wanted so desperately to ditch Burger, there’s no indication a 45 grade glove is the right direction. To really maintain plus value, he’d have to utilize that 70 arm and tons of coaching in RF. But, as a 40 grade route runner…even RF might be too much for him. mlbpipeline.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 (edited) Basallo and Ortiz and Hall…for Cease and Santos/Kopech. Throw in Golden Spikes Vaughn for Mayo or Kjerstad. 9 Edited January 16 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So sure on another team he can pass for a position he cant play. But not here. And the league is not trending that way anyway so if his bat is very good it's not going to be an issue and he's going to take a team's 1b or dh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was once told that great players were never blocked. I’m looking forward to seeing the O’s start multiple players at certain positions on any given night.

Boopa1219 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Aren’t the O’s working out Mayo in the OF? Anyway, I hope he’s the main piece in the return for the Sox. The bat will play anywhere. They need all the power they can get. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Down the road he can move to 1B as Vaughn insurance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to see their breakdown of position players to pitchers in their top 101, but my guess is they have probably aligned hard against especially younger pitching prospects.
