@Luke-OH  I saw you post in Pedersen thread that you're not holding your breath for him to sign. At worst, we'll have $340k savings (Watson signs full slot). Are you wagering that will end up just being savings? I think the team will make offers, but they need to be accepted to be spent. 

I think Daschbach might be overslot, Houston Roth is another possibility.

Here’s an idea, take the money we didn’t spend in last year’s intl signing period, combined with what we don’t spend in this year’s signing period, and just spent the max 105% on this draft. 

Possibly come away with Watson, Dashbach, Roth, Pederson, and Bobby Z. 

I’ll buy the reasons the team gives for why we didn’t sign top guys in the international market this year or spend all of our money. I understand, but then use that money on the only other way to acquire amateur talent. The draft. 

Our draft people have been doing this longer than Koby Perez has had the job. We don’t need upgraded facilities. We don’t need time to build relationships. It’s not a process that we’ve been out of for a decade. Just cold hard cash. 

105% baby

We've signed an UDFA named Christopher Burgess. It might be this person:

There is a pitcher from a lesser known school, but I'm doubting it's that's guy.

I'm pretty certain its the middle georgia guy as well. his stats aren't overwhelming but he's a high OBP catcher

    • Yeah, basically this, that Westburg's underlying numbers (EV, barrel %, xwOBA) seem to point at this being pretty real, or at least that there's nothing 'undeserved / lucky' about this hot streak, if it's just that. 
    • The problem with a Cowser/Kjerstad/Stowers/Bradfield outfield roster is there are no right handers to handle LHP. I don't think and completely left handed outfield is the destination for an organization the values versatility.
    • Looks maybe concussion related. 
    • How can you not be romantic about baseball? This seems slightly poetic. I enjoyed reading, and correlated your experience in the stands back to what I watch in Game 1 on MASN.  It was also pretty cool to hear Jim Palmer give you a shout out in Game 2 of the series on Live TV.
    • I am not worried.  It just doesn’t remotely meet the eye test.  He has been great in the field . I can think of at least 3 outstanding plays he has made and not any that I thought he should have gotten but didn’t. Meanwhile Holliday is 3 OAA and I can’t think of an outstanding play and can think of a number I thought he should have made. 
    • Nicely stated Roy. Every since I was 9 years old and saw the O's vs. the Tokyo Giants in Tokyo in 1971, I've been infected with the Orange/Black virus. There is no cure and I don't want one. You and I sat at the lunch table with Jim Palmer at the 1970 World Series Champs reunion, and its still one of my enduring baseball memories. You said I looked like Carlton Fisk! I was at all 3 games in this Angels series, right behind the O's dugout. I got to see all our boys, and just simply love to watch this team play. And in true baseball fashion, the one game on paper we should have dominated (GRod vs. 8+ ERA Channing), we end up down 7-0 and lose. But watching Gunnar's homers, his electric triple, and he made a fantastic play today on a ball that went under Westburg's glove, Adley do Adley things, Cowser, holy crap. Kimbrel v. Trout with bases loaded, bottom of 9th, 2 outs, down by 2? That was fun. Next game Trout bats leadoff and torches a GRod fastball for a homer to the opposite field.  An observation.... If you didn't know anything about the team, and you only watched game 1 batting practice, you'd think Cowser and O'Hearn were the studs of the team. Mountcastle was taking BP with the reserves and he put on a show as well.  Home after 3 straight days watching this O's team, so jealous of the Balt fans in Balt that get to see the team with regularity. It's a special bunch.
