Ok, admittedly I haven't really followed MLB much in recent years. That said, growing up I was a die hard O's fan and Cal Ripken was my idol.
Anyways, this year's O's team has me getting back into baseball again. They look like a legit playoff contender at the All-Star break and they are winning with all of this young talent and still seem to have a loaded farm system. For a guy who doesn't follow baseball that closely anymore, it sure seems like they are set up to be good for a long time.
So I figured I'd start a running general thread on the O's. I guess I'll start by asking the current die hards here their thoughts at the break.
What, if anything, do the O's still need to compete in October?
Thoughts on 1st Rd pick Bradfield Jr.? Seems like an old-school Kenny Lofton-type center field prospect. Any other picks you really like?
Any other general O's thoughts, post 'em here.
Ok, I'll hang up and listen now.
