David Fletcher with worse fielding?

Not really the same player so it's hard to comp. I mean.....David Fletcher with worse fielding (but not bad in the field, just not gold glove level) but much more pop I guess.

[Angelsjunky]

How about Michael Young as a Wilson comp? He won't have a lifetime .300 BA, but Young played in the 90s-00s live ball era, so his numbers are inflated. Actually, Howie might also be somewhat similar.

I actually like this comp.

Yeah that would more than work for me!

If Wilson is anywhere close to Michael Young then he’s about to be the one of the best picks in his draft class.  .300 lifetime average, Hit .300 8 or 9 times in his career, near .350 OBP in his career, 2400 hits.  Yea I’ll take that.

Still the GOAT gif.

Which one is where he earned the title of Big Sexy? We should do a poll.

E. All of the Above

I'd love for him to be somewhere between Brian Dozier and Michael Young.

[Lou]

I'd like for him to be Mickey Mantle.

That's an all-star lineup right there.

Finally, some clean peanuts!......

How about Rogers Hornsby, instead?

Is that Danny Devito?

[tdawg87]

No it's Lou.

[Blarg]

He really need to hit the gym.

Bradish was ranked 19th on our Angelswin.com Top 30 Prospect list. The rest of the pitchers in the Bundy deal were unranked although I had Mattson at the bottom of my personal list.

This is a good trade that meets our needs now and gives the Orioles a variety of lottery tickets, one or two of which might actually pan out for them in the long run, so my initial reaction is that it is a good trade for both sides.

Yeah, this Bundy trade didn't put even a scratch on our farm system. Still looking good!

It reminds me a bit of the Huston Street trade! Rondons!

EDIT: However, for the record, I did like both Mattson and Bradish, particularly the former. Both can become at the minimum good relievers I think.

Yeah but remember R.J. Alvarez who had lights out stuff in the minors and looked like he was a sure bet to be a setup guy or closer. 

I'm happy with two years of Bundy over some minor league hopefuls that aren't in the top 15 prospects list.

That's the thing about minor league relievers. The numbers really don't matter until they get to the majors. Either there is projection or there isn't. 

R.J Alvarez, Michael Kohn, Nick Maronde etc....

The best indicator of success among the minor league relievers is still velocity and out pitch.

In case anyone's wondering, with Kyle Bradish now out of the org, everyone moves up and Jeremy Beasley becomes #30 on the Angelswin list (Mattson was in the #32-35 range...not exactly sure).

Best known for: One of the rare American pitchers to go with a splitter heavy approach (similar to many Japanese pitchers). Good sink to it. Could turn into a ground ball machine soon.
