@Luke-OH when can we start expecting to see news on guys signing?

I don't see it now, but Elias basically said they'd get on that task as soon as the draft was over.  At least a few should start coming in the next few days I'd imagine.  The 4yr seniors at least.

How do i know who has signed? Most teams signed at least 1 player, The Yankees already signed 7 players. It is amazing how the Yanks, Rays / Dodgers sign studs year after year, I am soooooo jealous.

 

Huh, what in the world are you talking about? The Dodgers actually failed to sign their top pick last year.

The signings will be listed here, it usually takes a couple weeks, no reason to worry, most are probably already signed or agreed to deals but they haven’t been announced/reported.

Ballinger and Beuler weren't missed draft picks.  Who on the O's are that caliber.

Are we talking about the 2019 draft? And if you would like to have a serious conversation, please spell the players’ names correctly.

I made a general observation that the Yankees, Rays and Dodgers have had historically great farm systems through drafts, if you read my first comment. I am not going to list every player that that they drafted ever that you said.  I am tired of people looking for one negative and ignore the rest of what is written. To you all that have so much pride about the O's and being defensive.  But be honest, the O's have not had a great farm system since 1983  I don't care what you want to believe, but the O's don't measure one bit to those 3 teams.  Those teams have intelligent people who can recognize talent even if their pick is #30 or #60, they know what their doing,  Even if the O's draft a player with awesome talent, they don't know how to develop them, especially pitchers like those teams.  So don't like me, but the truth hurts.

I don't believe that the Yankees have had historically great farms through the draft.  They had that one really nice stretch that included Jeter and Co.  Before and after that stretch, not so much that I recall.  How many guys did they have on their OD roster that were their own draft picks?  I know Greg Bird and Judge, anyone else of note?

I will say that the Yankees and Dodgers have smoked the O's when it comes to International players.

You just went on and on about a bunch of stuff I never mentioned in my response. I never asked you to name a bunch of players, I just asked you spell Bellinger and Buehler correctly. 

You intially asked if the Orioles had signed anyone yet and the those other teams had signed a bunch of studs, I tried to explain that the Orioles will very likely sign all their top picks and actually the Dodgers didn’t sign their top pick last year.

If you want give your opinion of the Orioles farm system or their player development, start a thread in the minor league message board. If you want to talk with substance about the players the Orioles drafted this year, you can do it here.

    • Clearly he has a roster spot for a playoff series with the Yankees….
    • My stance would be pretty simple. Im not trading any of the top 3 prospects and im not trading any of the young talent that is controlled long term that is currently on the ML roster. That means besides the very obvious guys that players like Cowser and Kjerstad are also off the board. Now, if a player like Skubal becomes available, that could cause me to change my mind but as I look around at the reported available players, I don’t see anyone worth a top 20 prospect or young contributing ML talent. Guys like Norby and Stowers fall into that latter category but they aren’t here right now and they are just redundant on our roster. So I’m telling teams if you want to deal with us, guys like Norby, Stowers and Beavers are who will lead deals and that several vets, led by Mountcastle, are also on the board in any potential contender/contender(fringe contender) type deal. I think whether it’s Fedde or relievers like Estevez or Nardi or Garcia or even Scott, I think we have enough to get deals done without trading any of the guys we would rather not lose. This is all to say that I just don’t see that proven elite high end talent available this deadline to justify trading any of those top guys.
    • He’s an interesting test case. Prior to 2023, wasn’t good. In 2023, he threw around 200 innings iirc in the KBO and learned the sweeper. Now he is pitching much better. His statcast stats are pretty good although he’s not missing bats or getting Ks and he has a tendency to give up some hard contact.  
    • I don’t think he can be counted on for that. If you can get him cheap fine but his career WAR is 3.5 and he has 3.7 this year. Plus he’s 33 innings short of his career high …did 120-130 range twice. How could that be your acquisition that can be counted on when he could quite possibly run out of gas? Or get to a team where performance matters and feel the pressure versus pitching for the White Sox…A horrid team that everyone knew was going to suck.
    • Yea but how are you defining that?  Is Fedde a #3 or better, for example?
    • With all due respect … I think you are counting on Mayo to come up and immediately perform. I don’t think it’s realistic… possible yes. But, most guys have an adjustment. If it’s one thing we’ve seen from Hyde is the reluctance to give regular time to the rookies. Didn’t see it with Stowers, Norby, etc. They did  give it to Holliday but I think there was pressure being put on him to do so.  You think he would replace Urias who doesn’t play everyday with Mayo and sit the other guys to play him every day which is what a player needs during that adjustment period? 
    • Roch retweeted this. Lots of fans are speculating that it means Watkins is coming back to the Os. It makes some sense as we need fresh arms.  His numbers aren’t great this year but not sure that is going to matter.
