Joe Jordan and Manny Machado - Quotes after the pick

PrintJoe Jordan and Manny Machado joined some members of the Baltimore media (including myself and James F) in a conference call to introduce Machado and answer questions. I'll be honest when I say that most that was discussed was mundane, with your typical stock quotes, like "Manny Machado will be a Baltimore Oriole. I have no doubt about it." and "I'm just taking things one day at a time." You'll no doubt be able to read those quotes on MASNsports.com and BaltimoreSun.com, so I won't re-transcribe them here. But I did put together a few clips that you might find interesting:
First, Joe Jordan's opening statement regarding Manny Machado:
Joe Jordan's Opening Statement - 7 June 2010
Jordan on what kind of major league player he envisions Machado will be:
Jordan on Machado as a major leaguer
Finally, what does Manny Machado know about the Baltimore Orioles (it's dumb, but it made me laugh):
Baltimore Orioles are in Baltimore
I'm sure we'll be learning a lot more about Manny Machado in the coming days. Hopefully he'll be the next great Orioles shortstop.

Awesome.
It doesn’t get much more philosophical than that.
Baltimore is Baltimore. Indeed! We should all be fortunate to be so wise.

I haven't listened yet, but
I would like this to be explained:

What up?

Oh
Well the beginning of the call was a giant clusterfuck. All kinds of noise and static mixed in with the whatever sports talk was being played on 105.7, while the person in charge of the call was all, “Can everyone please mute? Please mute!” Then she just fell off the call and Machado shows up and there’s nothing happening so Joe Jordan is just like, “So, how’s the family?” Then we thought everything was ok but more radio commercials started playing again, about like plastic surgery or something. It was a right mess.
Isn't it almost impossible to believe that none of the perfect games this season have been thrown against us? -O'sFan21
I prefer my imagined reason that Roch Kubatko cracked a bad fart joke or something.
Or perhaps even worse, audibly ripped one and then cracked a bad fart joke.
Now that would have been a hell of an introduction.

This is what I was hoping for as well!

WOW.
Oh well, nowhere to go but up. Just like the team!

DOUCHE. And, might i add, BAG.
I’m actually glad we don’t have this dick on our team, no matter how talented everyone thinks he is:
Earlier in the year, Harper was ejected from a game for taunting the opposing team, and also reportedly took a bow after unleashing a particularly strong throw from the outfield. He is also is known to wear eye black like war paint. Rizzo said that Harper will not wear eye black in that manner as a pro.

He's 17 years old
I’m not saying it makes it ok, but plenty of 17 year old douche bags grow up to be perfectly decent humans.

Eh - there is normal 17 year old dick and then there's this guy.
Scouts spend their entirely lives assessing 17 year olds and almost every single one of them thinks he’s a particularly big dick.

I'm sure he's a dick

I'd imagine i'd at least be the type of guy
that’s smart enough to be a douche in private and a complete gentleman in public as to maximize my earning potential. Like Derek Jeter!

These incidents has been told without context. Harper has been hounded by opposing players. Opposing player have chanted things like, “Overrated,” or told him, “You’re not nearly as good as the hype.” These incidents came after intense heckling from opposing players. Not that this excuses his behavior but it at least gives it some context.

That's life.
You know everybody’s watching so you don’t do shit like that.

yeah, didn't say it excused his behavior.
He sounds like a bit of punk but I wouldn’t call him a raging jerk.

Seems like all the scouts are though. Calling him a raging jerk that is.

Right. Since they are the ones watching him and interacting with him.

i know i have guys on my team that pull stunts like that all the time, myself included. it’s just kids being kids.
and come on, you know you want harper on the team, i don’t care what kind of guy he is, he can’t be worse than a-rod.

Well, a-rod set the bar for douchiness so high that it's damn near unapproachable
To use the parlance of the draft, he’s got a plus-plus douchiness factor.

Yup
1) Wearing purple Lip gloss
2) Slapping the ball out of gloves while running to 1st base
3) Yelling ‘I got it’ while rounding 3rd base
4) Evading steroid questions while throwing his ‘cousin’ under the bus
5) Dating Madonna
He is an elite talent, that is for sure!
