Mike Elias deserves credit for picking Holliday
Orioles GM MikeElias is getting a lot of (deserved) criticism for the Orioles’ bad season.
He deserves credit for making Jackson Holliday the #1 overall pick in 2022 instead of Druw Jones. As I recall, most analysts rated Jones as a better pick. Most had Holliday second but Keith Lasw had him sixth.
Holliday is having a fine season in the majors while Jones is at high A.

Bob Dylan wrote “Long Distance Operator” and has performed it live once on 12/4/65 backed by the Hawks who became The Band.
The Band recorded it on The Basement Tapes with Richard Manuel singing it.
It looks like the only other cover was by James Cotton.
