Post Season Shares

[Great8]

How do they vote? Is it like an "all in favor say aye" thing, or do they vote via anonymous ballots? Was Davis allowed to vote even though he was suspended? If he was in the room when they voted, I'm sure there wasn't any discussion as to whether or not he would receive a full share.

It is the Union members on the September roster that are active that get to vote. I do not know when it occurs.

When the Orioles players met in September to vote on how they would divvy up whatever playoff money they would receive from the 2014 postseason, they made a point to remember late public relations director Monica Barlow.

In fact, they made two points.

Although the specific breakdown isn’t released to the public, one source who had direct knowledge of how the playoff shares were divided said the Orioles players chose two different ways to remember Barlow, who died in February at age 36 after a protracted battle with lung cancer. The players assigned one cash award to Barlow’s estate and made a separate donation to the LUNGevity Foundation, which provides lung cancer research, educational programs and support for lung cancer patients. Barlow was heavily involved with the charity.

Although the source would not reveal the exact amount of the two awards, they were characterized as “very significant donations.” Overall, the players voted to present 36 cash awards; typically most are given to support staff members who helped all season.

But the source said the players were in agreement that they wanted to use some of the money in a way that Barlow would appreciate. “It was an opportunity to do some good, and the guys seized it.”

Murph, if you're not buying that they are angry at him for failing the drug test and that's why they didn't give him a full share, then what do you think the reason is?

They evidently did.

That's about what I would expect from that bunch. It's nice when the guys on your favorite team come across as good people too.

Presley may well have been upset that Davis was snubbed and Markakis unsigned.

If a coach is upset about a player being unsigned in November than they are no better than some of the posters on this board.

Yeah. That made little sense to me as well. Just trying to guess.
