Farewell OH

[Spl51]

It's a good sign when an organization recognizes and takes talent from its community.

Pretty cool to think we got to see the evolution of a pro scout in real time.

Obviously huge congrats to Luke.

This is wonderful news and and a kick in the...pants.

 

I want to say congratulations on the gig with the Orioles.  I could not be happier for you and I think it speaks highly of the OH as well.  It's a disappointment for us on a personal level but we will all move on knowing we are being watched and praying to whatever god each one of us chooses that if the Orioles have more room for any of "us"....that they engage with Atomic.  Here.  Online.

Cheers!!!

Congratulations!!!  Couldn’t have happened to a better guy.  You’ll be missed here!

Pretty sure they can't pay Frobby enough, even on a part time basis.

I never thought I’d be writing this, but I’ve accepted a position as a Scouting Analyst Consultant with the Orioles.

I’m keeping my day job and working with the team on a part-time basis, but I obviously won’t be able to publicly discuss players anymore. 

Thanks to everyone here for their encouragement and for everyone who disagreed with me or asked for an explanation, you all helped me improve as an analyst. 

I’m going to do my absolute best to try and help the Orioles get back on top in any way I can.

Outstanding!!  Congratulations, Luke!!  Bring the Orioles back to the top!!

I’m not going to talk in detail about the process for obvious reasons, but I’ll say that I was being honest on here when I said I wasn’t looking for a job.

This gives me even more hope for the organization. Good luck, and thank you for everything you’ve contributed.

I was tempted to downvote this just because I don't like the message and I'm sad to see you go, but I thought better of it.

 

Congrats man!  I'm going to miss your reports immensely.

What an awesome opportunity.  I love that I stumbled across this site a few years back - your contribution was one of the things that kept me here.  Living 3,000 miles away from Camden Yards makes it tough to keep up with the Orioles major league team, much less the minor league squads.  Your analysis will be missed.

All joking aside, I have a really dumb question, and that is why cant you continue to post here?

My guess:

Because any data he produces will be proprietary to the Orioles.  The Orioles might very well also have rules against employees posting to sites like these.

Yeah he'll be NDA'd out the wazoo, or something similar.
