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

That confirmed or just your speculation?

Because if it's confirmed, that is just poor management of resources.

Agree with you on this.   He's a nice player, but definitely one we should have saved some cash on.  I was thinking he could get around 1.5 and we'd be able to go after some of these HS guys we drafted.

Winning the World Series Helped one of them and hurt the other. It was ALWAYS going to be close to that. Just because some of his don't highlight him, he was highly respected by others. 

So Cobb cost the O's a first round pick instead of a second round pick?

Because I don't see anyone else picking Grenier before the O's would have picked in the second and I don't see why he woudln't have signed for second round slot money.

Stupid just to give a kid all the money they have left in the pool because it's just sitting there.

MASNSteve said previous to the college thing that the numbers were just slightly under. 

Well that was a clutch HBP.

And the error, very clutch.

 

Will this organization ever learn not to overly weight a small sample size?

Does anyone think he would have gone back to school?  Anyone?  Bueller?

Error cost nothing. Juniors get slot. Mostly.

I guess they were afraid someone would. Some teams don't use the little mock drafting order. You do not have any other choice but to believe that. And they got Knight as well in the third. Who they considered at Grenier's spot. Supposedly. All you were ever going to get with this top ten was this top ten. No overslots. They blew that when they bought Cobb.

I do not know the fellow. And I guess whatever was left was going to knight no matter what.

No, they didn't have a second round pick and they were afraid their 3rd round talent would be gone by the third so they picked him in the first and overpaid him for no apparent reason.

I'd rather Angelos keep it then reinforce the precedent that if you are the last one to sign the O's will give you all they have left in their pool!

      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.
