Wrong forum, no?   Glad to have him in the fold.    Maybe the IronBirds should change their name to the Cardinal for this summer.   

Any positive news is welcome on the main board. Plus we just signed all our top 33 picks. Everyone except some HS fliers we took at the end of the draft.

Now we need some more free shirt giveaway days to get butts in the seats to pay these young men and avoid bankruptcy.  ?  #walkwithelias

Yes, very strong performance by Elias in his first draft, in terms of signing the guys he drafted.   Hopefully, the guys he drafted will perform.

I’m not complaining about the signing at all, I have no idea who this guy is, I’m just wondering why he was worth so much more than the slot allowed?

Meanwhile I quite agree that this was a successful draft. There were doubtless several guys who are at risk of failing to sign, but he got them anyway

He held out and got the left over money from the under slot savings.  

Slightly risky move on his agent's part that paid off.  If we had been able to sign one of the high school guys he probably would have been out of luck.

Callis said he signed for $250k.  I’m glad they got this one done.  Now just waiting to see what Houston Roth got paid, and if Dan Hammer ended up signing or not.

150 a piece.

    • One run and 2 XBH’s in the last 13 innings. Doesn’t matter how good the pitching. If they’re just scattering a few singles it’s gonna be tough to win.
    • Johnson, who had a degree in mathematics and an abiding curiosity in the field, would offer unsolicited advice to Jim Palmer and Dave McNally, the perennial 20-game winners.     “You’re in an unfavorable chance deviation,” Johnson would tell them, to puzzled annoyance. “You’re trying to throw for the corners, and you’re missing a foot away or you’re missing right down the middle. So I suggest, when you’re in an unfavorable chance deviation, throw it down the middle and you’ll hit the corners.” After that, Johnson said, the pitchers called him Dumb-Dumb.  Johnson, of course, was anything but stupid. When most of the baseball world sniffed at a book called “Percentage Baseball,”written in the 1960s by a Baltimore mathematician named Earnshaw Cook, Johnson called the author, met him for lunch and got an autographed copy. To supplement his income one winter, Johnson made speeches at high schools on behalf of a defense contractor, encouraging students to enter the computer field.   https://www.nytimes.com/2012/07/19/sports/baseball/davey-johnson-baseballs-oldest-manager-leading-washingtons-youth-movement.html?unlocked_article_code=1.100.c8eH.YaWx09n9u8hS&smid=url-share
    • A week or two ago I thought about Sandoval with LAA as a possible #5 starter type.    I see he hurt his elbow. It’s remarkable. 
    • Cowser is probably going to figure it out and have a productive career. But if a deal presented itself to trade him (out of the division) for a reliable starter with control, the O's should make it in a heartbeat. Let Colton figure it out on someone else's time. The Orioles desperately need quality pitching.
    • St. Louis did can’t remember about the Reds. I don’t know what it is about teams located in the center of the country. Even though the Astros are in the AL West Division they are still in that part of the US.
    • Pena had that chop double that bounced over Urias's head yesterday, so it must be somewhat hard.
    • Mateo is a utility player not a guy who starts 140 games a season. Time for him to shift into that role.
