What do you mean by the bolded? 

Haha...fixed now.    Cleaned out a tier of player.    After John Rhodes, none of the other 29 Clubs saw a million-dollar NCAA bat.

Quick question, I couldn't find Tony's take on our 2021 MLB Draft, wondering if anyone can give me a link to or just a quick summary of where we spent our savings on Cowser? I know we ended up spending all of our available allocation, so a bit curious where that went...did it really all go to Creed Willems and John Rhodes (wasn't Rhodes just slightly over-slot anyways?) or were a number of picks ultimately a bit over-slot? (Norby, perhaps?) 

They didn't spend all. *

 

 

* Sorry folks just being accurate.

Callis said in the chat that they had in all of Elias' drafts, was he wrong? Can you explain?

Here is the 2021 draft tracker.

Quote

Slot Values  -  $11,829,300
Spent - $11,664,700
Savings - $164,600

I'm assuming the data is accurate.

Now pretty much everyone else just shrugged off not spending 164k and mock me for mentioning it.

To me the goal should be to spend between the allotment and the 4.9% overage.

But if you can get 30 wins out of two guys or 34 wins out of five guys wouldn't you prefer the former?

Could see it both ways.  If you think you already have the generational talent (Adley?) then supplement it with many 3-5 Win guys over 2 guys.

They signing 20 of 21 players.   I'm sure the 21st guy turned down the 164k.

I'm not going to say it's always for the best but in general I want to consolidate wins into as few positions as possible.

Both Callis and Mayo have the Orioles taking Jones.

What did they say?  Was this a feeling on their part was it a “sources say” thing?

A feeling.  They all said they have no clue who it will be.

[Getz]

I will be glad with any of Jones, Holliday or Johnson

Interesting because on Friday Callis was saying Temarr Johnson.

They both said they don't really know, but both "think" Jones will be the pick.

[Brooks The Great]

Hearing from a couple different sources it's Holliday. Would be so pumped if so!

Even if it's bad info and we go with someone else, I'm looking forward to see who the O's take with the other three Day 1 picks. Big day for the organization. Future is very bright.
