Draft slot race comes down to The Wire as the Rangers head to Baltimore: 9/23-26

[DT LUNA]

The Orioles need a big inning.

Lyles will probably pitch the game of his life.

Defense helping

Why not? They can only work with what they have to work with.

I guess I don't subscribe to the theory they're actually looking for a whole lot, and are just wanting him to get some reps in

 

[darrylgann]

This is either a well pitched game or two pathetic offenses.

 

[DT LUNA]

2 bits 4 bits 6 bits a dollar
All for the O's hide your shame and holler.

HOLLER

 

[darrylgann]

Calhoun definitely the weak link in that outfield

HOLLER

HOLLER louder!

Tate? Having nightmares there!

Well, didn’t lose ground there. Got to get Pit to win some

If we have just one of the games go right for us tomorrow then it will be a successful weekend. After that the schedule shifts to be slightly in our favor.

Hopefully Pitt will not want to be swept by cross state rivals

In my opinion, there's no reason for him to be on the 2022 roster

 

[Kelleyman]

He is not at this point. Making that MLB money in the minors

 

[Kelleyman]

Ephland: 4-6
Saddles: 6-4
scotsman: 4-6

DT Luna: 6-4

5-5 and even 4-6 looks pretty realistic but Pitt is a ship sinking at rapid speed. They can easily overtake us even with Cinn and Cubs on ther schedule

Which makes a one-dimensional player

I have definitely changed tune re Calhoun. I think he ultimately a better hitter than the other OF minus Garcia who seems to have a knack for big hits. But Calhoun ceiling appears lower. Might as well put Solak in this category too.
I just think there is a dilemma stacking OF with elite defense but all with I reached potential with like guys 8n the minors on their way. So I am reluctantly to pick up any “better” OF unkess he is elite and here for the long haul. Stunts current development

So in essence 2022 is a rebuild year. And Calhoun is unlikely to be a part of team afterwards. Still they should play him every gsme the rest of the year

I think we will see him pitching next season


In Japan

Seen it mentioned he's a candidate for the 22 rotation. Please no.
