My response came out a bit harsh. No worries and sorry about that. I just get a little ruffled sometimes being told im probably going to get fired by guys ive had for nearly a decade. The threat is very real and always there but its not something I dwell on

Nice to have you around again. How did you become an agent? Are you a lawyer as well?

And now for my selfish question: Any idea what it is that Rowell did that was so bizarre we just told him to go home? Something happened in Sarasota right after the weed thing that was enough to just tell him to go home. If you can't say or don't know, totally cool.

Thank you Agent39.

No clue on rowell not a lawyer. Its a long story but if you listen to the podcast I tell the story on how I got here

Okay, thanks, I will. I'm sure it can drive you pretty crazy, but that's a dream job for this life. Just like Tony has made his Oriole dream a reality, I will listen to your podcast to hear how you did it.

It's a great podcast, Joshua starts talking about what got him here around 40:00. Not to embarrass you Sir, but the youngest certified MLB agent ever at 22. And this quote when asked about Boras: "I respect every agent. I hate all of them....I don't get along with any of them." Classic stuff. Joshua is all of 30 freaking 1. Young buck!

I went to post something on my old thread did it vanish? Steve is getting married soon and I was going to ask if anyone wanted anything digned by him or alex murphy. I don't want to flood the boards e ach time something happens. Let me know about my thread. If it got deleted by a mod due to boredom I don't need to be here. I'm really just trying to reach out to the orioles community I got to grow up with and give something back now that I'm an agent. Hopefully just a mixup

Regards

So you want to "invade" his wedding ceremony to ask for signatures on things, and threaten to quit posting because you didn't know how, or didn't take time to, find an old thread you started. Just my opinion, but I think the key part of your post was ".....I got to grow up....."

Probably just looking out for his client. Our possible backup catcher and local kid would likely love to know that the people of Baltimore are interested in him.

It's much more interesting for the masses to assume that something weird is going on. I'm sure he has plenty of contact with his client to get some autographs with the wedding coming up. You'd think from some of the responses here he's going to interrupt the vows to get some. People can't get out of their own way sometimes and inevitably chase interesting posters who share some cool insight away. It's been this way for years.

      Jackson Holliday 2024

      By Hallas · Posted

      Take this how you want it, but Schoop was up here for 1: a lack of better options, and 2: because despite the fact that he was an offensive zero in 2014, his defense was almost good enough to make him a passable regular despite that.  It's hard to call him rushed if he's providing positive value.   A second point of nuance that I'll bring up is that it might be worth considering minor league park effects.  This was pre-Walltimore, and pre-baseball change to the MLB baseball.  The park effects in Norfolk were so severe that for hitters, your MLE OPS was almost identical to your actual OPS.  So while his Norfolk numbers weren't great, the awful hitting environment there suggested that he might be ready for Major League pitching anyway.  (He probably wasn't, but again, lack of better options.)   If Holliday ends up being a +10 or +12 runs above average defender over the course of a whole year (and he very well might be, his OAA is already far above average) then you probably live with a .600 OPS from him, especially considering how big of a black hole 2B has been for the past 2 years.  But of course he's far below that threshold at this point.   I don't think any of this indicates that Holliday was rushed.  Machado had worse minor league numbers than Holliday at close to the same age, skipping AAA all together despite only putting an 850ish OPS there, and Machado put up a 1.3 wins in 1/3 season and 5 wins in his first full season.

      Whether he was rushed or merely expedited or accelerated, he made his debut at a very young age with very little minor league experience, and the results thus far have been terrible.

      Kjerstad Joining Team

      By interloper · Posted

      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.

      2024 Bowie Baysox

      By DirtyBird · Posted

      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.
