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.

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

You are very welcome. Several of us try to follow the draft in real time with formatted threads on each pick as well.  Tonight will give us a  trial run.

So we were able to sign him for 5000 / 147900 =  3% of his slot allotment?

Is Elias some kind of wizard?   Or does the kid have wealthy parents or something?     3% of slot seems crazy.......although I'm glad it certainly benefits us towards signing the higher picks.

Senior sign, so he’s got no better alternative if he wants to play baseball.   I’m sure the O’s knew he’d be cheap when they drafted him.

But, at least from what I have noticed, 10K appears to be the norm for these types of deals.  Just seems odd to me that they would go even lower.  I figured for the most part they send a guy out with the contract for 10K already filled out.

Here are our 9th and 10th rounders from last year:

9.   Kevin Magee ($149,900)                   $6,000                 $143,000                   265
10. Dallas Litscher ($140,600)                $7,500                 $133,100                  295

And from 2017:

8. Jimmy Murphy - RHP- Fordham $152,700  $5,000 $147,700 248
9. T.J. Nichting - OF - UNC-Charlotte $139,300  $5,000 $134,300 278

Yeah $10K is the standard and the extra $5K means a lot more to one side than the other. Unless something came up on the physical, I'm not a fan of squeezing an extra $5K out of a player who will in all likelihood never make even $2,000 a month playing baseball.

I'm not obsessive enough to track guys like this.  I wonder how many of them just play ball for the summer and go on with the rest of their lives after one season of pro ball?

I'd wager that, or something very similar like never even reporting, is relatively common.

Austin Wynns was a 10th rd pick that signed for 10k.  Tyler Wilson was a 10th rd pick that signed for 20k.

      Of course I’ll be watching. Filled with dread in all likelihood. As will most of us.  LOL.

      Very interesting to read through this. Full of optimism…those were good times. Turns out I voted 91-94. Such pessimism…grrr…and even that was too little. Several of the posters should run out and buy lottery tickets because they are definitely prescient.

      With Urias and Westburg back in the lineup...

      By HowAboutThat · Posted

      During all the hullabaloo about the team floundering, way too little was said about fundamental baseball judgement and defense. In a game a couple days ago, a guy came up to bat with runners on. This guy is all speed and defense, with no power, and bunted for a single. The radio guys pointed out that with a bunt threat at the plate, the defense moves in to anticipate the bunt, but this wasn’t done. He barely beat out the throw. Even two steps in from the defense would have been the difference. Little flubs like that happen CONSTANTLY, and don’t count as errors, but good teams avoid them without even thinking. The OF collision two days ago. Why did that happen? It shouldn’t have, and wouldn’t have with a good team, yet we’ve had at least three, two of which resulted in serious injury. Westburg and Urias are both solid players with solid fundamentals. Even if they don’t blaze away at the plate, they haven’t forgotten their defense, and we can hope that will be enough to get us to 90 wins.

      I was just reading my unread posts in the thread, and didn’t notice that your post was a week old.   And I don’t consider that I called you out.  The post sort of read like the outcome of the playoffs was so certain that there was no point in watching, so I was ribbing you about it.  Nothing personal intended. I have a feeling you’ll be watching!

      I was expecting Boston to be last and NY to be fourth…I never expected the Jays to be as bad as they’ve been, and the Rays are always good.

      Fewer than 3% of our posters thought the O’s would win under 90 games this year.  They can still win 90, but it will take a 4-3 finish or better to do it.
