Ryan Minor will now be the skipper for the Frederick Keys (A+), while Keith Bodie will be a hitting manager in the organization (affiliate TBD.)

This comes less than a week after Buck Britton was named the manager of the Delmarva Shorebirds (A), Minors former team.

Congrats to Minor.

Buck @ 32, has got to be pretty young for MIL manager?

Good Luck to him, too!

Youngest in the Orioles affiliates. Seems young overall too. Not many younger.

I wonder if this something he wanted because he has his home in the Salisbury area. As for Buck it speaks highly of him to be given a manager's position so young in his coaching career. Congrats to him.

I wonder how Ryan feels about the promotion, as his wife is from Salisbury and she was working there as a teacher.

She could get moved from Sailsbury to Frederick

She could, but she is from Sailsbury and has family there, which is why Ryan was happy to get the gig there.

As a parent, you strive for your kids to do well, and if they can do that, and live nearby, then, that is one of life's Blessings!

I get that, but wouldn't it make more sense to move the family? That's what we always did when Dad got a promotion or new job

move a single family, sure, you can do that.

What about aunts, uncles, grandparents, cousins?

My wife is one of five kids, and we have four of our own, and I have 14 nieces and nephews, and a host of grand nieces and nephews.

I have no clue on how big or small, or how tight his family unit is.

Just saying, I wonder how he feels about leaving the shorebirds.

We always went and visited my uncles and aunts during the summer. One just always lives near us besides us living in Florida. We never see my dad's family in Charlotte, outside of Nonna before she couldn't fly or drive anymore.

Remember, the minor league season is only 5 months long, and half of that is when school is out of session.    Minor’s wife might keep her Salisbury school job and just travel to Frederick on the weekends when the Keys are at home.   (That’s another point: they’re on the road half the time anyway.)

I spend a lot of time as a kid at Harry Grove Stadium with my dad during baseball season. Trust me, I know how long it is. It all depends on what they want to do

      Elias unwilling to spend money despite Rubenstein giving him the green light?

      Now if someone could find a list of Boras clients with respect to their WAR, that would be interesting. Pre FA and after.

      Eric Longenhagen's chat today on Ethan mentions a flaw that EL regards as so damaging as to reduce him to mid 1st round. 12:45 Refugee: Appreciate your insight on Over-Slot recently. Do you consider Ethan Holliday’s swing flaw being identified this early something that works for (he’s not even 18 yet) or against him? 12:45 Eric A Longenhagen: Fugee is talking about this podcast appearance: Ep. 125: Jim Callis and Eric Longenhagen join the show. A Draft Lottery Preview. | Patreon 12:47 Eric A Longenhagen: I’m not sure it’s correctable, I think his hands just work in a way that leaves him very vulnerable to many fastballs up/away. I have him more middle of the first round. 72% contact guy on the showcase circuit, hit .240 and slugged .380 when you add up his entire multi-year showcase sample. Love the raw power potential, don’t think the performance merits a top 5 pick. But the Colorado/Holliday connection and Washington’s willingness to take guys like Elijah Green looms.

      I'm fine with Castillo but I would like another piece too whether it's Buhler, Manea or another trade like Montgomery who won't cost any big prospects one would think. I sure hope they won't be satisfied with just Castillo as he isn't as good as Burnes. If Baltimore is losing a TOR and not replacing him with a TOR then make the rotation as deep as possible so we don't see another situation like last season.

      Exactly   Let it play out and judge the postseason when it is complete.   Being made at Elias for something you think he might fail to do is... kind of silly.

      It will be interesting to watch all the outfield results from Santander/Teoscar down to Hays. Whether you like the play or not, locking down a Boras client to be a market setter rather than a follower was an aggressive move. 50 for O'Neill looks better if Santander actually commands the 5 years reports are tonight he's seeking.    Maybe the market is so healthy Dombrowski miscalculated and the gift of early free agency is a windfall for Hays.

      Orioles 2027 Payroll Projection

      By Pickles · Posted

      I'm not expert on that.  So I remain open to hearing anyone's disputes regarding my projections, but I did my best to project a fair, median ground for the collective. It would be nice if Frobby was here to check my work.

      Orioles 2027 Payroll Projection

      By Pickles · Posted

      Any flexibility for AR and TON leaving, would almost certainly be eaten up by the increases in the other guys' Arb salaries.  And you're also walking into Gunnar's last season of control, so has he been extended?  Or do you trade him? I'm not saying you can't sign Burnes.  But I am saying if you want to keep payroll under 200 mil, and still be a competitive team, he better be pitching at a high level for the salary he's projected to be making.
