Congrats, learned a lot just reading your posts these past few months I have been here. For everyone here, hope you help get us that next world series team. Good luck!

Sounds like a dream come true, Luke! Beyond happy for you. And what a great story about someone putting in the work and creating his own opportunity and then seeing it pay off like this. All the best on this new journey, man.

Also, I tweeted this, but I should put it here as well, but thanks to @Tony-OH for encouraging me to write and providing a platform.

His advice and the freedom he gave me to write on my schedule about what interested me was greatly helpful.

Also, @weams for help with the site and generally being a good dude.

And like I said before, thanks to everyone I’ve interacted with here.

In addition, while this will be a big loss on our site, I want to thank you for not only all your hard work, insights, and loyalty, but also for making me up my game once again. Having someone to bounce things off of was refreshing and stirred my scouting analysis juices once again.

The only thing I'll take credit for is identifying good young talent. I'm not sure how long you posted here before it was obvious to me that I need your writing for us, but it couldn't have been long. I feel like a proud pappa that sees his boy go off and do great things.

While I shared a few things with you personally when you told me, I wanted to make sure to publicly congratulate you and wish you all the best as you identify talent for this organization and help Mike make this organization the model for others to copy one day.

@Frobby

i guess you’re next in line, So start boning up on your prospect research…

Well, Eve Rosenbaum went to high school with my daughter, so I’d say my time has passed.     But maybe my daughter can get a job there.

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.

Awesome Luke Good Luck!!!

Congratulations @Luke-OH!!! Your passion shines through in all you have done here, and I am sure it will be the same with the Orioles. It isn’t a surprise that you were snapped up by a forward thinking organization. I am pleased that it is the Orioles. Well deserved, sir. You made the OH a better place. Best of luck!

[TheOtherRipken]

Yes great job! Congrats!

[Aristotelian]

Congrats! You are living the dream! Make me think the O's actually know what they are doing and are headed in a good direction.

A match made in Oriole heaven! You certainly deserve it.

Luke, I haven't interacted with you because I'm mainly just a lurker here. But I do want you to know that I've thoroughly enjoyed your amazing insights and I'm extremely happy for you and wish you all the best!

Would like to hear the story how this went down?  I bet after @Luke-OH pegged Shawn Armstrong’s offseason plan, that it got some attention. That and the small rule 5 project he did.
