Also isn't it true that they don't release the figures for Venezuelan players signed so you can never know.

But if it is Davis today who is it in 2021? If they aren't allowing their guy full control after a 115 loss season what degree of meddling can we expect in the future?
There isn't going to be anyone approaching 25 percent of budget in 2020 and 2021 other than CD. No Mas.

Full control doesn't mean, has never meant, that the person in charge can spend whatever they like. It means that they have control over how the budget is used, what procedures are in place and who the personnel are.
CoC, you are not alome on this hill but I believe some allowance meeds to be made to.such a strict interpretation when that nonperforming asset represents over 25 percent of next year's budget. ME can churn the roster all he wants but he can't write off $23 M a year for 3 years w/o FO approval. I.one of the few that didn't want him signed and I won't follow any game when he in the lineup. I'm giving ME the offseason and ST, maybe until we get another year of Mountcastle, then.CD has to go.

I think any billion dollar company has a couple on the payroll.
I don't think the Os are any billion dollar company, they were basically inactive for years, Elias has been here what 9 months? Future, sure, I think ME will do.what he needs to be successful.

I'm sure the teams have "shady SOB's" on the payroll.
I'm sure most teams active in the market do, I doubt the Os are one.

Anyone else intrigued that Elias had a one on one with a player during the season?
Less worried about that then I am about CD "being around the guys and getting a chance to kind of coach and teach". I don't think I want CD coaching or teaching anyone anything at any time.

We have not seen any significant improvement from Scott. I’m not sure anyone knows what his problem is.
I'm not sure Luke would agree

I think that if the Orioles owned MASN that all profits would be subject to revenue sharing.
Oh no doubt considerations like that went into the Partnership setup, that is assuming my memory of Frobby,s research is accurate. I just wanted to dispel the idea that MASN profits go directly to the Orioles. If I remembered correctly, it's PA's decision either way as he would be majority owner in both Partnerships. But PA would have to choose to rob Peter to pay Paul.
-
Thanks to Frobby for the math but I believe years ago Frobby also determined that the Orioles MLB franchise and the MASN operation were owned or at least managed by separate Partnerships, each owned largely by the Angelos family. The Orioles, if my memory is correct, do not own MASN and MASN profits do not accrue to the Orioles. PA would have to agree to spend those profits on the Orioles MLB franchise.

Why do you dislike the Red Sox? Their players seem pretty likable.
Oh good Lord, I can't believe you would post that here on an Orioles forum. It's about their obnoxious, entitled bandwagon fans. Papa destroying phone in roid-rage, how good it felt when MAndino broke their hearts. Their pink and the green hats, their propensity to argue everything. I actually PREFER to sit next to a MFNY fan at OPACY, they usually understand the game and know the players.

So, back on p1 I read Bleier jumped off the mound, threw his arms in the air, almost rushed past Hyde to the point that Hyde had to reach for the ball. Maybe Florres said something about that disrespect before Bleier questioned positioning. That might elicit a response defending Hyde.

When guys are ready promote them. If you are worried about service time extend them.
With the new CBA looming I'm willing to bet that extending them is going to be a smarter move than trying to manipulate their service time by holding them back in the minors.
Agree with this and I want to see Mountcastle here sooner than later. However, I want him to be wearing a glove when he comes and not learn to play LF in the Majors.
That's the only reason I have for wanting him to stay in AAA.

CoC, I can't figure out what that emoji meams but "thankfully " and the BJs should never be used in the same sentence. Cito sucks and so do all of them.

Interesting. How's it feel now?
I would do it again. Father had season tickets, had relatives that worked for Colts. Move happened in dead of night, no notice to employees. City was negotiating to improve facilities. It was wrong and Mayflower had to know. I'm good with being an angry old man.

So you refused a cheaper, better option because the people at Mayflower...did their job on a snowy night 12 years earlier? I get the hate for Ersay but Mayflower just did their job.
Cheaper, unknown if better, but yes I did. At the time it felt like the right thing to do.

I have no illusions about scouting; but look at Zimmerman in the photo below and where his hand is. When I was at the recent OH game pitched by Bundy his hand dropped much lower before coming forward. All I could think of is that he was "reaching' for a little more. I thought that affected his "timing" relative to his lower body drive forward, basically making him do more with his weakened arm (shoulder). Am I COMPLETELY misinterpreting this?????

True story, about 12 years after the Mayflower incident, I relocated from Severna Park to Rolla Missouri on my own, literally Uhaul. About 2 years late I had to relocate from the mid-West to southern VA and the cheapest Company-sponsored option was Mayflower. I refused to use them and paid the difference out of pocket. I would do it a hundred times over and I hope Jim Ersay burns in eternal damnation! rant over

As to pitching inside, when I look at the photos of Zimmerman and Kremer that appear with the Minor league summaries, every time I think "these guys aren't going to have any issue with pitching inside". There is an intensity in their eyes that reeks of confidence.

Chris Davis just bought a permanent spot on the end of the bench if logic plays any part in the decision making.
The Orioles need to see what Mancini looks like at 1B for the rest of the year.
That has a bearing on what glove Mountcastle learns to use.
He is described as athletic so maybe COF is a better spot but that depends on if they view Mancini as 1B next year

We probably could have afforded Gausman too and I'd argue our starting pitching hole is deeper than our 2nd base hole.
Yet we traded Gausman to save $,
I think we traded Gausman just to offload O'Day and their salaries.

Martin has not been one of the worst players in baseball. He has been one of the worst hitters in baseball. His defense is good unless you want to believe some of the advance defensive metrics.
WC, Inn your response to Frobby, He was quoting you above. I believe you meant to put a question mark at the end of the first sentence as you were responding to another poster that had said Martin was one of the worst. At least that was what I thought you meant at the time.

23m a year for 3 years in 69m after this season. About 8m still to earn this season.
PLus the $6 M deferred for the years 1-4, so another $24 M I think.

For over 2 decades they were the best franchise in baseball and around the time it ended I think I remember that they had a winning record against NY as.a.franchise. Granted starting in 1954 helped alot with that.
