I don't know anything about Osirio, but I feel like the O's won this trade.

Well, he has multiple O's in his name so a good start fitting in with the organization.

Scouts must have seen something to work with.  I guess we'll know more when he hits the actual low minors.

I think a change of scenery will do him good.  Wish we could have gotten *something* of value for him...but oh well.

How do you know we didn't? Also, why would Fry get us anything of clear value? He's worthless.

I'm happy we got a lottery ticket and that a likely better pitcher in Vespi is now on the roster.

I'm with you...  we might have done pretty well.

Calling him an undrafted free agent is weird framing. Unless I'm completely mistaken, he wasn't drafted because he was a teenage international signing out of Venezuela (currently pitching in the DSL). I don't know what his bonus was but that info is often difficult to find other than the very top guys.

Osorio was signed as a 16 yo in December 2019, turned 17 January 2020, missed the Covid season and pitched as an 18 year old in 2021.  Maybe I can find out what kind of bonus he got.  The fact that he started 6 games and struck out 51 in 40 innings suggests at least a live arm.  A lottery ticket.

It’s how BC designated him and I kept looking for his bonus and nothing was popping up.  I was surprised to see that as well and figured it was wrong but like I said, I couldn’t find any other info so I figured it may be right.

While technically correct (he was not drafted) he would have also never been subjected to a draft. If you scroll down on same page you can see that he was signed at age 16 out of Venezuela.

      They also haven’t announced the times, yet.

      Well, I don't like to predict things on message boards but my prediction is we will not acquire two pitchers with a better Zips projection than Kremer. I would be more surprised by two than I would be by zero.

      You can’t ignore how he pitched against Detroit and the makeup of their roster. He has more value than even Suarez if that is who we end up playing.

      Wild card series roll call

      By SteveA · Posted

      So it is different from last year? Last year the games were something like 3:00, 4:30, 7:00, and 8:30.   Have they said it will be different this year???

      The discussion about Cle vs NYY is interesting. The Os always struggle at Cle and their BP is awesome but the starters are meh and so is the offense. I prefer to play NY. Worse pen, doesn’t run as much.  Not a bunch of contact hitters.

      Winter 2024 40-Man Additions

      By Jammer7 · Posted

      Bautista, if he is back to his old self, would be a big addition. Dominguez and Soto have to improve the walk rate. They certainly have swing and miss, but at a significant cost. Cano can throw up in the zone and get misses, but he is used so often he is rarely sharp. He is used to induce ground balls, and the sinker is fairly effective when he is tired.  Akin, Webb and Coulombe are getting some swing and miss. They are all above average in swinging strike percentage, according to FanGraphs. MLB average is generally around 11.2% from year to year, and Akin (second on the Orioles behind Grayson 13.6) is at 13.2, Dominguez 12.4, Cano 12.2, Soto 12.9, Webb 11.8, Coulombe is 9.9 and Cionel 9.5. In fairness to Coulombe (11.8) and Webb (13.7), they are higher over the last three years. They have not been healthy for a fair amount of this season and pitched through some things that made those numbers dip, perhaps.  Bautista was 18% in the same period of 2022-2024. He would be 11th in MLB in 2024. No other Oriole is in the top 100 in MLB. Grayson Rodriguez is at #120. It should be noted that Andrew Walters is at 18.8, ranking 7th. He was our unsigned 18th round pick in 2022. All of that aside, I am not sure the pen is structured the same as in recent years. There may be some moves there. Or, perhaps it is like you wrote, and they focus on Soto and Dominguez making adjustments to having more command, decreasing the walks. Those two are getting a little expensive as well. I guess we’ll see.
