[4/21 @ Royals]

2 days in a row we get screwed by VAR

[Friday, April 19: Orioles begin road trip in KC]

He beat the tag, but even if it's supposedly too close to call isn't a tie supposed to go to the runner?

[Monday, July 31: Orioles finish July in Canada]

Doing his best Don Stanhouse impression

Cowser. Under slot. 

Thanks for not spoiling it

[Take the safe pick at #2 or sign someone under slot?]

I agree, I think whoever Elias picks he’ll say was the best player available, regardless of whether or not that’s the case.  Personally I’d go with Martin, and will be disappointed if we pass on him.  The only thing that would give me pause is that he’s a Boras client.

[TMZ is reporting Kobe Bryant has died in a helicopter crash]

Just saw one of the passengers was John Altobelli, a baseball coach in California.  Was he one of Joe's kids? 

[Would you trade Means?]

If we could get someone like a Kyle Tucker from Houston, who are in need of starting pitching and have a lot of OF depth, sure I'd trade him.  Not sure if Houston would.

So easy math. For every 100k we offer past 295k, we have to pay 75k in tax. So if we went to one of the HS kids with an offer it would be,

595k —> player.   820k cost to O’s  

695k —> player.   895k cost to O’s. 

795k —> player.   970k cost to O’s. 

We’d essentially have to pay 2nd rd money to make a run at any of them. That’s probably not going to happen. 

You added the 75k but forgot to add the corresponding 100k after 595k.  So it should be:

595k - 820k

695k - 995k

795k - 1.17m

I’d love Graeme Stinson if he’s available.
