Daniel Kim ‏@DanielKimW

Seong Min Kim's mother wrote me an email out of no where. Not sure where to begin with this story. #Ouchie #Orioles

Daniel Kim ‏@DanielKimW

Seong Min Kim's family was contacted by the #Orioles during the 30 day ban period. Family says they have the phone records to prove it.

Daniel Kim ‏@DanielKimW

Before Ray Pointevint was hired by the #Orioles, he served as Seong Min Kim's agent.

Daniel Kim ‏@DanielKimW

In a matter of few days, Pointevint went from being Seong Min Kim's agent to #Orioles Exec Director. Weird stuff.

Btw Steve Melewski follows Daniel Kim so he saw this info...

Oh well, since I only care about it from the Orioles point of view I can only say if it has become a twitter battle, that it will turn out fine for the Orioles.

I am also certain that it is over and done with as far as the MLB is concerned.

It isn't a twitter battle, that was just a reporter relaying information via Twitter, I hope something more substantive comes out.

We disagree rather markedly on this one. I want to know if the O's were participating in corrupt dealings with overseas players, especially since Pointevint is still employed by the Orioles. I am also interested in how badly the O's hurt the future prospects of Kim.

I am also interested to see if Steve says anything about it.

edit- If it comes out that the O's were engaged in some shenanigans do you not think MLB would take additional action?

Yeah, I am not interested in paying any attention to this myself. Sorry.

I really don't think there is anything here.

This should be way at the bottom of pretty much everyone's "Who Gives a Sh**" list. If Kim is talented, his future prospects will be fine. By all accounts, from the KBO scouts or whatever, the kid isn't even a prospect over there, and everyone was befuddled that we were going to give him money. The Orioles are not without wrong doing here, but I'm fairly confident, that anything they have done in this situation has been done by every single team at one time or another.

The whole story seems seedy to me - especially hiring former agents. Not sure what Ray P's scouting background is.

Not sure what is common practice or if everyone is doing same, but really only matters if we get caught (kind of like a speeding ticket - everyone around you might be speeding as well, but that's little solace if you are the one pulled over).

This may fall under the "not a problem until it's a problem" category, but I sense us taking risks unimaginable under MacPhail.

      Everything revolves around the health of the player. I think Gunnar has more. I think the collision with Mateo set Gunnar back and affected him in ways we will never know. I'm no mind specialist but Gunnar is young plays all out, and that had to bother him. I've watched that collision a number of times. No fault - just two players going all out and one is finished for the year. It just so happened that Gunnar got the yips and his batting went south soon thereafter. Maybe a coincidence but I think we will see a rejuvenated Gunnar next year and all stops are off.

      I’m not so sure the bolded part is true. I think a lot of that last bit can have to do with small skills: situational hitting/running, above average play in close games, generally things that can be boiled down to “luck.” I didn’t see this years team as having a major talent discrepancy from the 2023 version.

      As great as Gunnar is can’t assume he matches last year. That said I like the odds of the team as a whole matching what we did.

      The real improvement of this team will come from within.    The 3-5 players they bring in from outside the org will supplement the roster…maybe put it over the top but the real improvement will come from those already in the org.

      Yeah. -Would love to keep Burnes but I seriously doubt it. -I have a lot of faith in Adley.  - Holliday has huge ceiling even if he isn’t ready to be elite.  - doesn’t always work this way but the better your closer is tends to help rest of pen

      Nice OP. Thanks for the effort. Like the chart. Surprised it hasn't received much response. You sum up a lot of what I hope for as well. I'd add: I think a full - healty year of Westy will be even more valuable. I think Gunnar has even more in the tank. I want - hope that Holliday can develop into the lead off hitter and OBP table setter we need. And, I so want Cowser to cut down on strike outs and continue to develop as a professional hitter. I think he has the potential to cover for the loss of Santander while Big K develops on the right side. A lot to hope for but I believe these youngsters have a lot of potential yet to tap. And oh yes - I want Mayo to make Roy and all of us proud! Thanks again for the effort! I look at pitching as if we have a base. I agree with your points 1 and 2.

      Postgame Pedro Martinez and Dusty Baker critiquing Clase tripling up on his weaker pitch before the Carpenter heroics. 78% cutters on the season for Clase - the key PA went cutter-cutter-cutter-slider-slider-slider.
