Good morning, Camden Chatters.
Ahhh. Haven’t these last two days been nice? Thanks to the just-concluded MLB draft, we’ve had actual, real baseball news to talk about amidst an otherwise barren sports landscape. Aaand...now we’re back to the vast emptiness.
How are you feeling about the Orioles’ haul in the draft, O’s fans? I’ll say this for Mike Elias — he certainly didn’t follow the script that any of the national draft prognosticators laid out for him. He started zig-zagging right off the bat, passing on the consensus favorite for the No. 2 pick, Austin Martin, and instead picking Arkansas outfielder Heston Kjerstad, who was projected to go somewhere in the 8-10 range.
