I think you are missing a Delmonico

To be honest, I haven't really been able to follow our MiLB that well this season. I have read a few things about Machado and Schoop and heard some very good things about Delmonico, but also heard some question marks about Delmonico's fielding at 3rd. Is this true about his defense?

Delmonico's been playing first mostly this year. Haven't heard how well, but haven't heard any major complaints either.

Being in FL I have had no eyes on myself. Even if his glove doesn't play at third I have to think he is more likely at first then Walker.

Unfortunately, he's not playing there much. The bat is also good, but not great so far. He's a nice prospect, but needs to continue an upward trajectory.

Thank you guys for all of your responses. This is one of the many great things about this site. I am not able to follow our farm system as much as I should and like, but I can come on here and have great responses to any inquiry I have about a player.

Thanks again.

Guess that wasn't a long negotiation. Looks like this kid is ready to play ball: Great sign!

Adrian Marin has signed according to his twitter.

Officially signed a contract with Baltimore!! #Orioles

*credit to poster Vandy* for finding this!

Somebody couldn't get the kid an authentic jersey??? Would it be that expensive for the Orioles to do that will all of their draft picks???

It's great that he signed that quickly. I'd expect him to start in the GCL, like Avery and Hoes both did when they signed quickly. If he plays well enough to show he belongs at Aberdeen, we can move him there later.

Agreed. Let the kid get eased into pro ball before throwing him to the wolves at Aberdeen.

I'm curious to see what his bonus was as most of the higher picks signed so far have been for under slot. I wonder if he's a bit under slot to save us a little money for players like Velazquez, Waltrip, Service, etc.

Based on their twitters, it seems that Waltrip and Service are ready and willing to sign. I'm hoping that something can be worked out with Velazquez because can never have enough young, projectable pitchers in our system.

      Kjerstad Joining Team

      I think you're basically right, probability-wise.  That said, almost no one thought Kjerstad coming up today was the move they were going to make. So... you never really know with Mike and roster moves. But I agree, it's tough to figure out how he stays if Mounty is healthy when Hays comes back.

      But he's 82nd percentile in barrel percentage and 92nd percentile in Whiff. I saw some some high EVs that were hit at 60 degree angles or more which were pop ups. I'm not saying he's a long term piece. I'd need to see it for longer than two starts, but I like the stuff overall, especially if he can get his curveball over more often to give another look to the change and cutter.

      The rookie is a #2 overall selection, now 25 years old, who battled back from missing significant time with non-baseball related illness, was called up last season but had mostly sit behind a mediocre performing veteran (Hays), and is performing better at the minor league levels than Hays ever did. But, I guess he hasn’t paid his dues and is just temporarily holding a spot for the guy who was fortunate enough to come up when he was much younger and the organization was in bad shape.

      Bird Tapes

      By John Eisenberg · Posted

      Jumping on to make sure everyone here knows about the Orioles history project I've started this season. It's called the Bird Tapes . When I wrote my oral history book about the team a quarter-century ago, I interviewed all the major figures in franchise history and kept the microcassette tapes that I used while recording those interviews. They sat in a shoebox in my closet for years but now I've had them digitized and I'm going to be rolling them out in weekly posts along with some new writing that connects the Orioles' past to the present. The Bird Tapes is housed on the Substack media platform. The web address is birdtapes.substack.com. It's a subscription-based model and subscribers gain access to the vintage interviews for a small monthly fee. So far I have posted my quarter-century-old interviews with Brooks Robinson, Earl Weaver and Ernie Harwell, the legendary broadcaster who was the Orioles' first play-by-play man. Next up: Paul Blair. I've written articles about Mark Belanger and Brooks, and much, much more is coming. The response to the rollout of the Bird Tapes has been great so far. Please subscribe if interested at birdtapes.substack.com.

      We drafted him for his elite speed and defense. If the bat plays - he could be a star. If not, he could still be a useful piece. You don't see the same projections from Cowser, Westburg or Kjerstad because those were bat-first players. There's a reason we're having trouble finding space for guys like Kjerstad and Norby.  Also you're going to say it might be his first draft flop after 13 games at A+? Wild.
