I wonder if those guys ever try and hold out for say 20K?

I mean if they don't sign the O's lose out on that pool money so they are not entirely without leverage.

Usually, the player and the team agree to the terms ahead of time. The team agrees to select the player if they agree to sign for X amount. If a player went back on the agreement, he would only succeed in angering his future potential employer. They could make life a living hell for him. Once they sign they have virtually no leverage until they become a 6 year minor league free agent if they are not placed on the 40 man roster.

Yes I know.

I'm speaking in hypotheticals.

Not sure how bad they can make it for the players. Don't most of these guys wash out in short order?

We have several of them playing in the system years later. Kemp was one. He got a grand.

You mean they should change their number after getting drafted? They do that, and one of two things happens: they get their extra ten grand, and they get buried at the bottom of the GCL depth chart and released as quickly as possible, or they don't get signed at all and maybe play indy ball if they're good enough. Most guys are going to take the ten grand and play affiliated ball for as long as they can.

Looks like slot on Sedlock and Akin. Overslot by almost 400K on Dietz which they made up with the #9 and #10 picks and going slightly under slot on Myers (#6) and Hays?

Was hoping they could sign the #11 round lefthander but I think we would have to go over the limit to get him.

There's an extra $300k they can spend without losing anything but money. Of course, Moseley and/or Hanifee might be overslot.

These are both strange cases. Moseley was relegated to a middle relief role with not a ton of success, according to the stats. One wouldn't necessarily assume he's an underslot, but maybe he's ready to start his professional career instead of spending another college season as a reliever. I'm guessing the Orioles will have an agreement with him for something underslot as soon as the CWS is over. Safe to say, the Orioles have a good idea of what Hanifee is asking. He was born in Maryland and lived here for eight years and is still a big Orioles fan. I'm not suggesting that means he'll give them a huge bargain, nor should he. But it gives me confidence he's been straightforward about what it will take to get him signed.

I'm not concerned about Hanifee signing. I think the O's know his number and I think he'll stick to it. I'm just not sure that number will be below slot value. Moseley was looked at as a possible first-day pick before the season, so maybe he wants more than eighth-round money, or maybe he thinks he can improve his stock if he goes back to school. I think the most likely scenario is both sign for around slot, but we can't get ahead of ourselves in projecting any savings for the top ten rounds.

Hanifee has signed. (pending a physical I presume). http://www.whsv.com/content/sports/Hanifee-chases-dreams-with-Orioles--383527561.html

      Adley shares tough health admission

      By HowAboutThat · Posted

      This question has probably already been addressed, but if he’s not 100% and he’s playing anyway, that’s probably OK if he’s still being productive. If he’s not being productive, the physical problem is severe enough to need some kind of treatment, so isn’t it the manager’s responsibility to sit him? Did Hyde just let him play anyway because he wanted to play through it? Did Hyde insist he play through it?  If this story about a physical problem is true, it is on Hyde to make the decision to sit him.  And he didn’t.

      Elias and Hyde address the media today

      By 24fps · Posted

      According to Forbes 2024 billionaires list, minority partner Michael Bloomberg is number 12 worldwide with $106 billon net worth.  Way down at 97 is notorious MLB FA cowboy Steve Cohen at around $20 billion.  In other words, Bloomberg could afford to hire Steve Cohen to park his cars and still have plenty enough left over to bump the O's payroll responsibily.  And Bloomberg is just a sideline guy. I don't expect or want fiscal stupidity from the O's organization, but this fan is not in the mood to have his intelligence insulted either.  Let's retire the small market narrative once and for all.  It doesn't play any better than the O's do in the post season.

      Elias: Hyde will be back

      By RVAOsFan · Posted

      I am not in the camp that the organization needs to go full scorched earth this offseason as some here are.  I am concerned about Hyde as the manager going forward though.  There were a lot of rumblings during the middle of the season about club house issues which falls squarely on Hyde to correct.  The way the team stumbled through the second half doesn't give me much confidence they were corrected.  Second and probably my biggest concern is that now Hyde is 0-5 as an MLB Manager, 4 of those 5 games have been played at home with a team that was favored to win the series. I think we all agree the roster needs a little work this off season but there is also a great young core here to build around that will not be here forever.  I don't want to waste these years with a manager who may not be capable of winning playoff games.  I hope the leash is short.

      So what do you think is going on? Does Adley just not want the narrative of being injured?  I do find it odd that a guy like Salvy is 34, started 90 games at C and had a similar or better year. Adley is every bit as talented and 8 years younger. He should be up to the task easily.

      Is Holliday the most important player in 2025?

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      Without getting into a conversation about his defense, what position he should be in, etc…it dawns on me that Holliday, the version we saw in the minors, is exactly the type of player this team needs. Good power, high BA, lots of walks, lots of speed. That is a combo this team needs. A guy who sees a lot of pitches, works counts, etc… We all know the level of talent he has. We all know how all scouts and evaluators love this kid. This year was a major disappointment and him not getting better wasn’t what you want to see. That said, he started to make an adjustment, he started to get more comfortable and he now has this experience. He is a hard worker and knows what he needs to do.  Im expecting a 4+ WAR year out of him in 2025. Him being the best player on the team wouldn’t shock me although I wouldn’t predict him to do that.

      Playoffs 3 years in a row won't be easy especially in our division. I expect the Blue Jays to be better and Red Sox were in the thick of things this past season. Rays always somehow manage to bounce back. Hyde better hope this team is firing on all cylinders a lot of year and the right moves are made in the offeason/deadline.

      Who Stays and Who Goes Early Guess

      By LGOrioles · Posted

      I see almost zero chance that Dominguez isn’t brought back. He was their highest leverage reliever once he was acquired. He threw 24.1 IP total, with an 11.2 K/9 rate and a 3.73 ERA. They need more arms like him. Having him in the 7th or 8th inning in front of Bautista is a luxury. He’s also their only reliever with playoff success.
