I actually thought there was an outside chance that Norby and Cowser might go all the way up to Aberdeen since they are both advanced hitters compared to the other draftees and there will be a considerable logjam of college players that will be stuck at the FCL Orioles, it seems.

Elias seems to be consistently conservative when it comes to player placement.

Read elsewhere that Willems is getting a million bucks.  If true (haven't seen any official sources) that certainly accounts for a lot of the underslot money.

Funny.  I guess we just visited the same place.  Was just about to post that as well.

Thank you.  Now that is 800K over for Willems.   Instead of being wrong about the O's spending their draft pool, how much you want to bet that posters will now complain that we overpaid for Willems?   1...2...3

It was always going to be Willems that got the underslot money. Not sure why there was much question about that by some folks here.

I was just going to post jokingly about Frobby's observation on last few guys that the Orioles line with today's laundry list would be of course Willems got the lion's share!    

Maybe Willems got "over" a million bucks, agent of Mr. Rhodes

1.5M or 1M and a penny?   Over.

Doesn’t seem like the various draft pundits were really on this guy.   So yes $1 mm surprises me if true.  Not surprised that he’s several hundred K overslot though.

Exactly, there is overslot and there is giving him a million.

While I readily admit to not being anything close to an expert from my armchair that looks like an overpay.

I guess we will find out in a few years.

Lol man you are something else.

Willems is a hoss. Probably the most fun pick of the draft, I'm excited to see what he can do.
