Not sure how much that was Baltimore versus the Brewers. The Brewers wanted Hall because of the potential he has; but there were always red flags, from his lack of innings, to his control issues, to his age, to Baltimore deciding to move him to the pen. The Brewers wanted someone with a really high ceiling and went with Hall for that reason. Ortiz was a solid second piece but projected to be a utility player (Ortiz is also older than you think. While this is his age 26 season, he turns 27 on July 14 basically making this about an old as you can get age 26 season.)
