JJ Cooper Says If Basallo Was Elsewhere, They Could Leave Him Down To Improve As A Catcher But O’s Will “Want To Get That Bat In The Lineup”

Baseball America Editor-in-Chief JJ Cooper was a guest on Glenn Clark Radio Friday.

Among the topics he discussed were:
-There only being three Orioles prospects on this year’s Top 100 Prospects list (Samuel Basallo, Coby Mayo, Heston Kjerstad)
-Whether Samuel Basallo is definitively a catcher or really just a bat
-Have the Orioles failed by not trading prospects like Kjerstad and Connor Norby before him when they had their greatest value or not clearing out spots for them to play every day?
-The continued lack of pitching prospects
-What to make of recent first round picks Enrique Bradfield Jr. and Vance Honeycutt still not cracking the Top 100
