Projected pool of $7,986,953.

Which is less then they spent on the '09 draft. (8.8M). Looks like they won't be able to get too fancy with the moves. I will be pleased enough with TBPA.

That's the 9th highest bonus pool in baseball. Yankees have the 6th highest, Tampa Bay 21st, Boston 22nd, Toronto 24th.

2-3 teams won't get a pick and we have the worst odds of getting a pick. It is more likely than not that we will not get a pick. Yes it is possible we will still get a pick like the Cardinals did in 2014, and we did in 2013 but chances are we will not. I laid out all the facts for you. You are welcome.

We don't really know the exact percentage odds for each team, though there are a few numbers out there from previous years. If the team with the best chance at 17% gets the first selection, and then are removed from the pool, how are those odds reallocated?

Last season we got a competetive b pick.

I never said other teams were not under similar restraints. The point was the changes in the draft have limited teams' ability to draft "bonus babies".

Additionally, the O's are drafting late in the first round they have a smaller pool relative to the number of picks they posses then do other teams. The Red Sox might be 22nd in pool money but they also only have two picks in the first 100 (7, 81).

Right. Everyone is restricted in the same/similar ways. Having more money is always better, though. We were 30th last year since we gave up 3 picks.

Considering how well they've drafted the last few years, I'm excited to see what they can do with 4 top 75 picks, and over 350% more money than they had last year.

I think this years draft and next year's draft (where we should also have a ton of picks in the top 120), will define our franchise for the next 5 years. Our ability to draft and develop is really going to be huge as we rebuild what we all think will be a mass exodus next season.

      Are we actually 27-14 with the highest runs/game in the AL?

      Ding ding ding. It’s the crab pot mentality. Most will drag you back to the bottom rather than allow others to climb out to freedom. It’s the old misery loves company.   Sadly for my Orioles fans, they have used this misery as a warm blanket and have even rationalized their sorrow by way of linking up with other sorrowful fans. It’s a sort of companionship in misery. Suddenly the orioles start to do well, as if this wasn’t the plan by Elias all along, and many orioles fans are still clinging to their long held beliefs that the shoe will drop, that the end is nigh, and that success will all come crashing down.   After all, failure is what they have grown accustomed to, it’s all they know, their world is an abject failure, so when the team they love suddenly starts doing well…they have no idea what to do. They lash out. They find fault where there is none, and their extreme uncomfort becomes full display to all those who might say “yeah but we’re good now, things are good now” but that simply can not be so. There must be something wrong. The shoe will drop. The loss will happen. My life is not fulfilled without the thumping of the chest from the loser Oriole who proclaims to his tribe, “see, I told you so!” sad sacks of shit, the lot of them!

      Another MLB player, once a teammate and friend of Ohtani, maybe tied to gambling. I didn't bother to try to understand the exact timeline or tie to Ohtani, which seems to be just as friends, but here it is for anyone interested. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/40166891/angels-david-fletcher-bet-bookie

      Not for someone who has money riding on him winning the award.

      Well, now that we’ve established the hitting sucks, is it a good time to complain that this pitching is obviously over performing and will crash and burn any day now?

      Bullpen 2024

      The bullpen has much more depth this year than last year but it just feels like you don’t know who will be the guy each night.  Last year it was get to the 8th and you knew it was Cano and Bautista and lights out.  This year it doesn’t seem to be set roles especially with Kimberly strugggles and out as clasper for now possibly.  I also think Hyde gets a lot of grief about how he handles the bullpen but I think he has been great at looking at the game situation and with who he wants facing what guys.  Cano might come in the 6th one night then close the next, same with Webb or even Coulumbe.  I know a lot of it is analytics but as a group they make a plan and seem to stick with it instead of some managers that have 7 inning guy an 8th inning guy and closer and don’t deviate much.
