I've only been in town for 6 years. Can someone tell me why Angelos wouldn't do international signings? I mean the dude isn't racist so what is it. Is there a story? I mean just look at how many good Latin players there are. And if he doesn't do international signings, how did we get Schoop?

I've heard that Angelos thinks the international signing system is exploitative as one of the rumors.  But I've never heard a definitive answer.

I gotta say...looking at that picture really hurts. To follow a guy's career as a draft prospect, all the way through the minors, and then through multiple all star seasons in the bigs, to now seeing this picture....it's just depressing.

He'll still be one of my favorite players in baseball though. Best of luck to you Manny!

I just threw up in my mouth. 

For anyone who hasn't cut the cord, MLB network broadcasts the Dodgers frequently. I know, I'll be watching.

Could be worse (and may still end up being worse if goes to NYY in the off-season). The Dodgers at least have the distinguished class/history of Jackie Robinson/Branch Rickey. Plus- in their Brooklyn days- they were a gritty, blue collar rival to the NYY not too dissimilar to us when we’ve got our act together. At any rate, all things considered- seeing him in Dodger Blue ain’t the worst IMHO...

MLB Pipeline added the prospects to the Orioles top 30. They have Diaz at #2 behind Mountcastle, Kremer at #13, Bannon at #17, and Pop at #29.

I wonder if they're low on Pop simply because he's already a relief pitcher. Either way, nice little injection of young talent there.

Well it is. Can't be done in this country.

I've heard that answer definitively.

The Pop selection is the exact thing I've been suggesting the Orioles do in the draft for years.  Hope he makes t.

Haha, if that had happened the OH board would have had a complete meltdown.   

In other words, your average Wednesday....
