2019 Orioles Draft Tracker


Recommended Posts

11 (125 over), 13 (25k over), 29 (25k) - Hammer/Roth at 150k according to another page. (Edit 2: according to Luke via nathan ruiz)

I think main post updated with 11 I believe.  Posted as 220k left.  If another 50k removed for Hammer/Roth we have 170k left.  So 295k without penalty/tax.  

Edit: 295k for 1 player being 170+125k

Edit 3/final: as long as no other guys were over slot and we don't know.

So easy math. For every 100k we offer past 295k, we have to pay 75k in tax. So if we went to one of the HS kids with an offer it would be,

595k —> player.   820k cost to O’s  

695k —> player.   895k cost to O’s. 

795k —> player.   970k cost to O’s. 

We’d essentially have to pay 2nd rd money to make a run at any of them. That’s probably not going to happen.

You added the 75k but forgot to add the corresponding 100k after 595k.  So it should be:

595k - 820k

695k - 995k

795k - 1.17m

Yeah.  Good correction.  It's fun to say lets try and buy one of these HS kids out of their commitments, but you'd have to basically invest 2nd-3rd money to do so.  I still think it's a good way to try and steal a top talent.  This organization needs to work on building it's depth outside of the top 20-30.

I agree. These taxes seem to really inhibit behavior in many sports, but if I were the owner and there was a talent with a great profile that we could sign if I paid the tax, I'd like to think I'd give the ok to do it.

Just now, Enjoy Terror said:

We have six unsigned players right now, and only seven signed players not assigned to an affiliate yet. This looks like a pretty solid draft, we don't usually sign everyone. The lowest round pick we haven't signed is like, 33.

I don't think you enter the draft with the goal of signing all your selections.

Safe to assume we're done? 

I would think so, unless one of the high school guys decides they want to play badly enough and are willing to accept less than they might receive in 3 years with some college development.

Is there a run down on the O's International signings today?

I am pissed how the Yankees can get the best player?  It is all about the money.  I have the right to my feelings.

 

The thread on the main page has a break down of the international guys.

Yankees are easy to hate without a doubt.

He's definitely the best player presently, whether he'll be the best player in the future, we'll see. The guy looks amazing, but he's built like a 24 year old at 16, there is a history of these types of players regressing physically.

Couple questions for those of you in the know (thanks in advance):

 

1) Where have Dan Hammer and  Houston Roth been assigned to?

 

2) Has it been confirmed that the others won't sign (Arnold, Miknis, Thomas, Pedersen, Fagnant, and Zmarzlak)?

    • 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.
