just because the Orioles draft busts doesn't mean the draft is bad for every team, rofl

Bundy isn't a bust. Just getting his TJ out of the way early.

And I blame Angelos for everything else.

Honestly I don't dislike the 1/8 mill signing. It's probably about fair market value for him.
I'm just glad we didn't sign him because we already have enough liability in the OF.

Machado
Bundy
Gausman

Recently we haven't had complete busts, does not change my opinion that te mlb draft is the most ridiculous of all sports drafts.

The problem is, people are too used to wanting top line talent from the draft. The MLB takes in much more talent levels than any other sport does. It's not just the top 1% like in football, it uses lots more "average players". I'm probably explaining this poorly, but the essence is that most prospects will be serviceable players and not stars.

idk if using football is a good example... 6th, 7th 8th rounders often get playing time in their 1st year in the league

basketball would be a better example

Not sure if srs...Regardless though, I feel it gets my point across.

ok no 8ths my bad lmao

I guess you mean in terms of quantity of players

I'd much rather give away a pick that could be bust or average for a player that is proven now, when your team is trying to win.
