Like the previous years, this will be the thread where we will keep the draft picks and follow them through signing. Post any signings in this thread, or in the forum, and I'll keep this post updated.

My brief take on each pick is done through Round 12 with video when available.  Also a handful of the later round picks, still need to do more digging. My best value in the top 10 rounds is Yeank

I think if I were a college senior and am graduating and the Orioles offered me a grand I would just start on my career over playing for below minimum wage. 

OK.  You do know the O's didn't sign any college seniors for a grand right?

As for me I would take the grand and then retire.

There were a few college seniors who signed for 2.5K, the player in question is Garrett Martin who is listed as signing for 1K even though he's a HS senior.

I would say I got a job offering my field so I can't take a grand anymore but I would be glad to sign for 75k.   It would out well both for team and me as they can use the extra money to go over slot on someone else.

I am guessing he wasn't college material.

Did he actually sign though? He hasn't been announced by a team source and 1K for a HS player doesn't make a lot of sense.

I thought the same thing when I saw that on the MLB draft tracker. I watched some video on him and honestly, it's mediocre. I've seen much much better prospects go undrafted.

No they can't. It does not work that way. The only money you can save for overslot is from the first ten rounds. Fun theory though.

If you had an advisor before the draft you just killed his career.

And you have no personal honor.

      I have a feeling we’ll see a lot of the starters pulled mid-game.

      End of season melancholy

      By Frobby · Posted

      I usually post the lyrics of Paul Simon’s Night Game on the last day of the season, but it doesn’t really fit for a team going to the playoffs.   So I’ll wait, and hopefully never have occasion to post it.

      Why pitch Suarez today instead of yesterday?   That makes no sense to me.

      Can Cowser still win Rookie of The Year over Gil/Wells ?

      By Frobby · Posted

      Please don’t compare OAA and dWAR.  OAA and dWAR are not comparable stats.  First of all, OAA is measured in outs, while dWAR is measured in wins.   That’s a very different scale.   Second, OAA is not adjusting for difficulty of position, while dWAR contains a significant adjustment for position.   Third, OAA measures range but doesn’t measure the throwing aspect of being an outfielder.   If you want to compare apples to apples (and I assume you do), Statcast has a statistic called Fielding Runs Value that converts OAA plus the throwing aspect into runs.   Cowser has a +10 FRV, which as the names implies, is measured in runs.  FRV feeds directly into the fWAR calculation, along with a factor that adjusts for difficulty of position, which for Cowser is measured at -4.1 runs.   Meanwhile, rWAR uses Defensive Runs Saved (DRS), which is directly comparable to FRV.  Cowser has a +3 DRS, not as good as his +10 FRV.   Those are the comparable stats, and the 7 run difference converts to about 0.7 WAR. That’s the main difference between Cowser’s 4.1 fWAR and 3.2 rWAR. I see that after Gil’s poor performance yesterday, Cowser now leads him in both rWAR (3.2 to 3.1) and fWAR (4.1 to 2.2).   So, I like Cowser’s chances.

      I'm the opposite.  I don't want him sitting too much and getting into his own head.

      2024 Dodgers

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Our key players aren't ready to uphold their part of the deal yet, but the Peak Orioles Teams sometime this decade against these Dodgers before they get too old would be an amazing matchup.      I've only gotten to watch most of a Dodgers game the past week or so, and one of the impressions even though they are HOF and still near the very best is that Freddie and Mookie are fraying some as time continues its unbeaten streak. I think we're the likeliest club of any of the 29 others to be able to out-talent the Dodgers anytime soon.
