If rumors are true, the O's scouting department has spent the day trying to figure out how to make their pick worse.

They went from Dylan Bundy to Archie Bradley to Jed Bradley. Maybe by the time they pick it will change to a projected second rounder.

The MLB Draft is the biggest roulette in sports. Don't ever sweat the picks. It's almost entirely projection. -- nm - David Jun 6, 16:13 12
- One of my big issues is that it would be a signability issue. - the wrong element, bad guy Jun 6, 16:20 5
  - So many of these high school kids who are hard to sign wind up washing out of A ball. I never worry about it. - David Jun 6, 16:26 4
    - How many of the players picked for their signability have done well? - the wrong element, bad guy Jun 6, 16:31 2
      - It's the inverse, actually. How many of the massive bonus guys have done well? - David Jun 6, 16:34
      - Storen might be one of the few. - Will Hunting Jun 6, 16:33
    - True, but this is supposedly one of the best drafts in 2 decades (just under 2005 and with 2002) - Will Hunting Jun 6, 16:28
- I just know going from Tier 1 to Tier 2.5 is a bad sign when you're Tier 1 needy. - Will Hunting Jun 6, 16:19 5
  - Holy shit, they're all available. - Will Hunting Jun 6, 16:20 4
    - Good pick McPhail....you didn't cheap out. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 6, 16:26 3
      - Now I wonder why all the people started hearing those other two guys today. - the wrong element, bad guy Jun 6, 16:28 2
        
        I think they've come around to the idea that pitching pitching pitching is the answer. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 6, 16:32 1
        
        I think that's generally how teams should draft. - the wrong element, bad guy Jun 6, 16:43
Jed's rumored to go in the 8-12 range...it's not that bad. - Will Hunting Jun 6, 16:05 8
- Hultzen is supposed to be available when they make the pick. - the wrong element, bad guy Jun 6, 16:12 7
  - I saw him as low as #30. Nobody knows what he'll cost. -- nm - David Jun 6, 16:17 4
    - The real question mark is the kid from KC with the ride Nebraska. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 6, 16:18 3
      - Is he the one expecting Strasburg money? -- nm - David Jun 6, 16:22 2
        
        Bubba Starling...he's the "Winfield" in this draft who's all-world in 3 sports ... - Will Hunting Jun 6, 16:24 1
        
        what gets me about Winfield.. he's from Minnesota. It would have killed him to put on some skates? -- nm - Reagen Jun 6, 16:37
  - There's a chance now Rendon's in play and we need a 3B...no one in the minors worth it. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 6, 16:16
  - Well, it looks like that was wrong. - the wrong element, bad guy Jun 6, 16:14
