O's sign no. 1 pick Cody Sedlock

Happy for him, but Dan is just going to use him as a trade chip.

So he signed right at slot then? And the second pick was about 400k over. Is that right?

Did Keegan Akin sign yet? He was our second pick. The slot value for our second pick was 1.1772 million.

Sorry, Dietz signed. Second second round pick. About $400k over slot.

Like he's done with Bundy, Gausman, Harvey and Stuart?

Here's a report on his press conference: http://m.masn.mobi/steve-melewski/2016/06/os-game-blog-cody-sedlock-signs-and-tonights-matchup.html

I chuckled at this comment from scouting director Gary Rajsich: "[H]e holds runners well and is quick to the plate, which our major league manager will like."

Who would want Stuart?

If we'd only gotten good long-term contributors in return....

"And he hates throwing anything that even resembles a cutter." lol.

Just from reading the draft threads and becoming an expert in 30 secs, you will start to see that we draft a lot of guys that are "sinkerballers" or have "heavy" FB's.

Gausman had pitched in 123 innings in his college year. He made 5 starts after we drafted him and 15 IP.

Sedlock pitched 101.1 this year. He was a reliever before then. Maybe we don't let him pitch because of the added innings is already a 70 inning increase from the year before. I think we'll see him make a couple 2-3 inning starts at Aberdeen.

I'm thinking he could throw 30-40 innings, which when added to the 101 puts him in the range most MiL starters throw in a season.

Goodbye cutter, mechanics with runners on, and whatever side of the plate you pitch on. And possibly any hope of being a successful major league starter.

But welcome to Baltimore! Snark off.

That would be a 70 IP increase.

Awwwwww

Wow! Try to enjoy some things - he just arrived (turn off TX Oriole meter) :slytf:

Sorry, a bit bitter after seeing Gausman never improve a breaking ball, Wright get worse every start, Davies pitching well, Arrieta one of the best pitchers in the game, Bundy in the bullpen and hopin and praying he can be a starter and Harvey continuously hurt.
