@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.

    • 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.
