"Rodriguez is a huge part of the rebuild."

 

It's crazy that people say this crap.  He's no part of the rebuild.  He's here on the exact same timeline, with the exact same opportunity, rebuild or no rebuild.  He's literally nothing to do with a rebuild.  At some point someone should question the desperation to make things up.

 

FWIW, I'd expect to see him in Baltimore soon.  For all of the saber rattling about "everything can happen" and all of the things that were going to happen, they are sitting, almost across the board, on the most predictable, intentional, management.

He is a piece they are counting on to build a long term competitive team. How and when they got him doesn't mean he isn't part of the rebuild. There is no "rule' that says when a team goes into rebuild mode that they can't rely on somebody they already have. Thats just folly.

Watching Lance McCullers Jr and given that it's natural to compare the Astros core to the O's core...how would you feel about Grayson being a healthier version of LMJ?

 

[BSLChrisStoner]

Well, as you are alluding at... McCullers has ability...  but there is no greater ability than availability.  So yeah, in a sense... a healthier version of a talented guy would be something...   but even with the % of top prospects who don't hit their ceilings, overall I'd be disappointed if Grayson was only McCullters+.
