Hey guys, I need to ask, why is no one really checking the prospect tracker forum? Maybe there's no value in what we're doing over there but I'm just shoicked at the lack of hits in the forum, especially since we have so many plus members who are interested in the minors.

Should we keep it doing it? Should we take it away from a plus feature and make it open to the public? I guess I just don't understand why so few people have checked it out this year despite the fact that Adam and I have been really keeping the thing updated often.

Help me out here. What are we doing wrong?

I want to but when I go into it I see nothing, maybe the forum doesn't see my plus membership. That's my excuse at least.

You should be fine now. Sorry about that. Not sure how that happened but you are fixed now. Hopefully you will find value in the board.

I am a plus member and I can never get on the Prospect Tracker. I have e-mailed OH a couple of times trying to find out why and get no response. Other people might be having the same problem. If you can direct me to the right person, I would appreciate it.

I typically do read the prospect tracker, I just haven't gotten around to it yet because it's early in the year and it's pretty easy to catch up by reading them all in one gulp. I did read Adam's report on Bundy's last start, which was excellent. It's one of the best resources on the Hangout.

I'd probably be reading it more often if we had more starting pitchers who were real prospects right now.

I just went to "Contact Us" and e-mailed to general questions and then to password problems. I will PM you the info. Thanks.

      Do the Orioles Need Players with Postseason Experience?

      They need players who are better than some they have

      Elias on contract extensions

      By Warehouse · Posted

      Probably neither - it may be more a function of lining up with players.  The Astros extensions aren’t really comparable. The first Altuve extension was ridiculously team friendly. Altuve had less than $1MM in career earnings ($15K signing bonus as amateur). He had a good 2012, making the all-star team. However, he struggled in the first half of 2013 with an OPS in the six hundreds.  He fired Boras in May, presumably because he wanted to sign an extension that Boras would have been vehemently opposed to.  The deal announced in July bought out his four remaining years of team control for $12.5MM and gave the Astros control over what would have been his first two FA years via club options that totaled $25MM. The second Altuve extension occurred after he rehired Boras and was basically about buying out his grossly undervalued club option years.  It was needed to reverse the mistake of the first extension. The Bregman extension was reached in ARB-3 negotiations. Neither of these situations are at all comparable to a potential Gunnar extension this offseason. First of all, Boras had NEVER extended a pre-arb player with seven figures in career earnings (Carlos Gonzalez was below that threshold).  He is philosophically opposed to it. Second, there are two potential comps that would starting points for a deal: Tatis Jr and Witt Jr.  Boras would reject either of those deals; he would want to do better given his distaste for pre-arb extensions, his strong preference for “record-breaking” deals, and the fact the Gunnar has more career WAR (at least fWAR) than either of those players when they signed their extensions.  When teams are successful in getting a lot of early extensions done, it’s often a case of having a lot of players amenable to an extension. That generally covers attributes such as not signing a large draft or IFA bonus (i.e., relatively “poor” players), players with geographic ties to the team (big part of Atlanta’s success), not having Boras as their agent, and being more risk-adverse from a financial perspective.  The team’s risk tolerance also plays a role as you can get burned if they turn into Grady Sizemore.

      I think the main reason they’re not big contributors for the Tigers right now is that they were all jettisoned from the team right around the time the Tigers got good. Canha was traded to SFG at the deadline, Urshela was DFA’d on August 15, and Baez shuffled off to season-ending hip surgery on August 22. They were 62-66 when Baez was shut down — they’re 28-11 since.

      Would you say that the Tigers rebuild is more successful than the O's?

      By Ripken · Posted

      Their rebuild has not been better but their players don't melt under pressure.

      Hurricane Milton has apparently ripped the roof of the Tropicana Dome to shreds

      By SteveA · Posted

      So what do the Rays do?   Spend a lot of money fixing the roof for the few remaining years that ballpark has left?   Or do like the A's and play in a minor league facility until their new ballpark is built? I wonder if they could work out something with the Yankees to play in Steinbrenner Field.   It is in Tampa and one of the nicer spring training facilities on the Gulf Coast.   The Rays train in Port Charlotte which is (50???) miles south and I don't think the facility is nearly as good.   Steinbrenner FIeld seats over 10K, has luxury boxes, and a very accessible location for Tampa area fans.
