Both Jim Callis (BA) and Goldstein of Baseball Prospectus have us taking Gausman in their mocks from today. http://www.baseballamerica.com/today/dr ... 13500.html and http://www.baseballprospectus.com/artic ... leid=17238

Law does too, but he says Fried is now a strong possibility.

Looks like it'll be either Fried or Gausman. Detailed Fried scouting report coming in about 5 minutes.

good work as usual by Don.
It sure sounds like it comes down to Gausman or Fried at this point.
I like Gausman better, but wouldn't be upset with either.

Correa is starting to really grow on me though.

Rumor of Orioles on Max Fried at 4 seems to have some legs. Not guaranteed, but increasingly likely.

Could be Appel to O's now.

Could be Appel to O's now.

Wow I am very surprised by Correa there.
This could be a huge shift in the draft now.

[Zach]

Would Appel slip past the Mariners?

[Old Sneakers]

Personally I think Correa #1 was a mistake. Regardless it helps the Orioles as I see it. Or, at the very least gives them a one pick better pool to draft from.

[TuckerBlair89]

Buxton off board. Wow Appel could fall to us possibly.

Not sure Mariners take him. Possible though

[Old Sneakers]

Question is would we take Zunino?


(Also with Buxton gone, we won't have to sit through mundane interviews with the lad with an Orioles hat on)

[Zach]

I think we would take Gausman/Zimmer/Fried over Zunino

[Jordan Tuwiner]

Would Appel slip past the Mariners?

Looks like it's going to happen.
