    Ferreira also said there is a real possibility of O's adding a Venezuelan academy and it could happen soon.
    More music to my ears.

    Duquette said he'll add more international scouts, and there could be more changes coming to the front office by Jan. 1. #orioles
    My heart can't take all this prior to the winter meetings.

    Don't worry Lex I am sure they are about to overspend on a bullpen arm or aging slugger.

    Probably a faux pas to rate my own thread. Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn. Heh.

    DD is really moving this Organization in the right direction and unlike MacPhail is sticking to his word as far as building from the ground up, with scouting and player development.

    GREAT news!

    Wow, this is happening with lightning speed. Hopefully it will yield results, though we won't really know for a while.

    I'm very anxious to see what kind of results we see but it isn't even fair to make an assessment until after the first 5 years perhaps and by that time everything could be ripped up again.

    I was thinking the same thing. Now I have this weird uneasy feeling like this is too good to be true...where's the catch?

    It may take 5 years to see if it bears fruit at the ML level but we should have a pretty good idea within 2 years if we signed any legit prospects. It only took that long to realize that Schoop was a good find. I think we actually made some progress internationally under MacPhail, if only because the bar was set so low before. DD seems like he's about to take it to the next level.

    AKA The Netherlands. Baseball is pretty big over there and there are already quite a few prospects from there.
