Does anyone actually think he will be a tough sign?

Despite what being bantered about, I think Bundy will sign quickly if the Orioles make the right offer from the start. I think he wants to be pitching on the same team with his brother ASAP.

No one signs significantly overslot deals early in the process. Pretty sure MLB wouldn't approve them even if both sides were amendable.

You have to think he's very excited to have a chance to be teammates with his brother. He'll sign, but I expect it goes to the deadline.

I'm very happy choosing Bundy over the other pitchers available. I have some reservations about passing on Rendon. Time will tell.

Who is Bundy's agent? Any chance we see him get decent innings this season?

It's BBI, for whom his father advises. BBI, with the help of Denver Bundy, guided his brother Bobby to the highest bonus (600K) in history for an 8th round pick. They are serious business.

Dylan will sign, but expect it to go down to the deadline (potentially for the last time if the CBA is altered next year) and expect him to be paid well (6-9 MM).

If Bundy wants to be an Oriole, I don't understand why it should take until mid-August to sign him to a contract.

I can understand that maybe they don't want to have him log anymore innings, but they should be able to get this done and that will give them a good idea how there budget will shape up the rest of the way.

BTW, I can't wait to hear how Bobby feels about this.

Part of the rules is that deals have to be approved by the commissioner's office. Perhaps foolish, however that is the way it works unless for some reason a prospect wants to sign for suggested slot money it will be the last 24 hours to the signing deadline.

Don't beat yourself up over this. The main thing is that they got best player available.

I'm very happy with this pick. Rendon's shoulder scared me, and he hasn't wow'ed me at any of the games I've attended this year (we were knocked out of the regionals last night =[ ), but I'll be quite pleased to watch him develop in DC.

Some experts were saying the new bats had a lot to do with that.

I'm glad that Rendon ended up in the NL.

      Well it certainly doesn't look like he'll be winning Rookie of Year award. And if we send him down for like the tiniest amount of time, we get him for another year, right? I think if this poor hitting continues it's financial mismanagement not to send him back down. Grayson got sent down and came back way better.

      He certainly isn't a bust but I wasn't happy with the pick at the time and I don't love using the second overall pick for that type of player profile. Westburg signed for slot so he's irrelevant but Mayo was a great use of the money saved.

      Think Heston will be the next call up. Mayo’s K/BB ratio is poor and I think they’ll want to see that even out. Stowers and Norby have seen their numbers slip a bit.  It will likely take an injury to an outfielder or first baseman, but I think we see HK next.

      I have to laugh at some of my pre-draft thoughts as well as others. I will say on behalf of myself and some others is that what we did not understand then was what the Orioles brain trust knew to be their model, and what they best developed. What traits they were looking for is an important thing to know, in hindsight anyway. And really, the Jackson Holliday leap in development was not something most of us heard anything about until about a month before the draft. I saw him the previous summer and I cannot say he was all that impressive, but it was only one look. His physicality took a big jump after that.  I will also add that we’re never going to know what would have happened if they drafted Austin Martin, Jones, Lawler, Lacy, etc. Their development could well have been different as O’s. The funny part of this board, in general, is the absolute certainty some have in their opinions and how eager they are to trash Elias and staff. There is plenty of humility to go around, now that things have played out. It’s fun to finally have a truly great front office and ownership group, and a stacked stable of horses.
