Ok, this thread is officially updated with all the signees and their discussion pages. I expect some news on the first signees soon. If you can find out how much bonus they received please provide a link and we'll post that as well.

Very interested to hear Marin's bonus. He was committed to his hometown Miami U. I figured the negotiations would drag out some. Hard to think he signed for slot or below this early.

I would be surprised if the Os took him not knowing what his request was.

    • I think if you're the orioles, you need to sit and figure out what you want to do. I would bring back Burnes, or at least try to. If you can't keep Burnes, which is looking to be a real possibility, do you trade for another TOR starter with the prospect pool we have or try the Free Agent route? QO Santander, but do you trust Kjerstad or stand outside of Santander's house with a boombox to woo him back? The FA market for outfield sucks this year. What are we going to do with the infield? Do you make trades to see what you can do to improve the roster in the next 2 to 3 years, because the infield has a glut of prospects. How patient are you with letting Basallo develop on the MLB roster if a spot finds itself open, if you want to field offers on Mountcastle. Where do Holliday and Mayo fit into next year's team, or do you try to sell high on Urias? 
    • I know, and I never said you said he should be handed the job.  But after seeing the rest of our prospects and so called young core look absolutely awful for most of September and into the playoffs, I'm just not interested in seeing another one of them come up and struggle again and again. I'm sure Mayo is a talented hitter and you're right to point out the small sample size...but I don't know if the Orioles hitting coaches are doing him any favors.   But my gripe really wasn't about his lack of hitting so far, it was that he still doesn't seem to have a position.  I don't know where he fits from that perspective.  
    • No matter what you want to call it, these guys came up small way too often in pressure situations. I truly believe that when a few guys went down, others put more pressure on themselves to pick it up, especially when Holliday came up and failed spectacularly.  A few losses started to mount up and then the team really felt pressure in close games, and they continued to fail.  Now do I think Gunnar is a "choke artist?" No, I think he's a young hitter who failed when he was given an opportunity to do something special. It's going to happen. Now did he probably have more pressure on him to do well because no one else was hitting? Sure. Do I think Santander and Cowser choked? Absolutely. Santander needed to have a professional at bat and instead swing at a ball at his chin to start off the at bat, then popped up to first base. Cowser striking out on a ball that hit him was an approach issue as well as a guy who definitely has shown he can't handle pressure at bats at this point in his career.  Mountcastle issue's is he's just not very good and can be gotten out by never throwing him a strike. Adley, well, Adley has been terrible since July. Whatever he has going on is his problem, not the pressure.  At the end of the day, if you have bases loaded and no outs and your 3,4,5 hitters are coming up and you don't score, that's a pressure issue. If it happened once, ok, but we've seen this time and time again with this team's core players.  
    • Just an update for future reference. Parked there for yesterdays game and it was still $5. Plenty of room in the garage to park especially if you have a newer vehicle and don't like to park in tight spaces. Absolutely zero traffic getting out, waited 2 minutes while people scanned there ticket and I sat in section 388 in left field so I didn't beat people out of the stadium at all. If you don't mind a little bit of a walk, definitely the way to go. Ticket said $5 Monday-Thursday and then $10 on Friday-Sunday. Only difference is Ravens games, there was a sign saying $100 for Ravens games. 
    • I have never said and would never say he should be handed the job. But 41 major league at bats(he had just 4 hits) should not be the determining factor in letting him have a shot. The kid can hit. And will. And he could be a lethal bat for the Orioles.
    • Well that's kind of what I mean.  You look at Witt, he obviously has power but he's not trying to do too much given the situation.  He's not swinging from his heels, he's not trying to hit homers every single time.  His bat to ball skills are elite, but part of that is probably because he knows that he can shorten up and use the whole field when the situation calls for it.   But I also mean aside from good EVs and peripherals...like, Cowser yesterday, what in the F.  Seriously, EVs and peripherals don't tell us about the absolute boneheaded decision to swing at something no matter what.  It's exceptionally rare to see a batter swing at a pitch that actually hits him.  Had you told me that would have been a deciding factor before yesterday's game, I probably wouldn't have believed you...but then thought about it and believed you because it's so pathetic and that's just where we are.  And Mounty almost did the same thing!   So that's what I mean by also just not being talented as we think...it's past EVs and peripherals.  It's about being mindful of situations, especially at the plate in high leverage moments.  You're right, there's time to let it fly and a time to have good team at bats.  And the Orioles just flat out don't do that. I don't know what the hitting coaches preach, I don't know what the "offensive coordinator" (what a joke that sounds like) does...but my goodness, from the looks of it they're certainly don't preach about good team at bats, situational hitting, etc.  
    • Definitely some luck and chance but they were also swinging at a bunch of junk and missing the pitches that were actually hittable.
