O's have Three draft picks in the top 26

[abbott]

Based on the Oriole track record of 1st round draft choices not in the top 10 of all picks in each year, the Prioles would be lucky to get one out of four into the majors by 2021 and have that player be a solid major leaguer. In the last 25 years only 2 Orioles drafted in the 1st round but after #10 have had career WAR Over10 for the Orioles. Mussina and BRob

Does anyone know the answer to my question? Do we get three picks in a row, or one, followed by one each the teams drafting behind us that lose a QO FA, then our second, then those other teams' second (if any), then our third. With 20 QO FAs, this could end up being quite a difference.

Should be three in a row. Why wouldn't it be?

You will pay for all the WAR you get from a FA. You only get some excess WAR from an average MLr. Like Jason Werth. Or Even Jake Arrieta. Or Kevin Gausman. Or Caleb Joseph. Or Jerry Hairston Jr. Or David Hernandez.

I'm sorry, but is this answer a "yes," or an "I think so." I'm asking if anyone knows.

In a row. Like the Yankees and Red Sox in 2014

Team will receive pick if the free agent in parentheses signs with another team. The signing team forfeits its first-round pick, unless it has one of the first 10 picks in the first round, in which case, it forfeits its second pick. If a team signs multiple free agents who were extended qualifying offers, it keeps relinquishing its next-highest Draft pick.

The Player’s former Club will receive a selection at the end of the first round beginning after the last regularly scheduled selection in the round. The former

Clubs will select based on reverse order of winning percentage from the prior championship season.

Reverse order of winning percentage.

History says it is. There has been no change to the CBA.

Thanks! That is good for the Orioles this year.

Reverse order is reverse order.

Never questioned reverse order. My question was whether it is one each team in reverse order, followed by another one for all teams losing a second pick, etc., or whether it was all picks at once for each team. There is a difference, and there is logic to it being either way. Fortunately based on what they did last year, we do get all 2 at once before most other teams will get to pick one.

Typo - 3.

BTW, chances are that it would be four of the top 40. Not 30.

Well, if only five teams yield their first draft pick, as in 2014, and Iwakuma, Samardziya, and Upton all get taken by other teams, the O's will have the 29th, 30th, and 31st picks. That's very close to a worst case scenario. I think the O's picks will all be in the top 30.

I think the O's only end up with three of those picks.

You are right. My mistake.

I'm sure that 11,12,13, or 14 is not on the table.
