Looks like Hodo signed for just under slot at $305k

Assuming slot for McLean, they have about $1.6M to spend on Showalter, Walters and Young assuming they spend the full 5% overallotment and are willing to pay the ~$600k tax/penalty. I hope they go for it and try to get all three, but for $1.6M they should be able to get two of those guys at least.

Ruiz is a little off on his statement "No round 11+ players who signed will count against the pool." As long as they sign for $125k of less that's true, but overlsot bonuses like the ones that it will take to sign Showalter, Young and Walters do.

I assume if a pick in the 11th to 20th rounds signs for over 125k, only the amount over 125k counts against the draft pool.  Seems like the O's willingness to go up to 5% over the draft pool will decide whether they are able to sign all their late overslots.

My armchair scouting persona is a little surprised Hodo was that close to the bonus slot.  His profile reads as someone we could underslot by much more than $15k.  (Same for Bright and Ardoin to lesser degrees IMO.)  An extra $200-400k would sweeten the pot for those overslot guys later.

    • Am I crazy for thinking Burnes isn't going to sniff Cole's deal?  I'm thinking like 7/260-280.  I don't think he's going to sniff Cole's deal.  For starters i dont think hes as good a pitcher as Cole was at the time of his signing.  Also, the Yankees aren't going to be in the bidding so that leaves the Mets, Giants, Nats, Orioles as teams that can afford him.  The Sox could too, but they're on the fringe of contention and might opt to develop more with the Yankees and Orioles solidly ahead of them in division.  Only the Mets from that list really seem like teams that would go over 300m for a pitcher, but they will be pressed for money because of the luxury tax.
    • Agree a strong RHP bullpen arm that misses bats would be good to add. Looking at Spotrac I don’t see who it would be. Dominguez could certainly be someone that could fill this role. 
    • Definitely leave the flag up. 
    • It looks like I misread your post as being about last offseason instead of the 2017-2018 offseason.  My mistake, but does that in any way affect my overall point - you know the part that I made explicit and you left out of your response - that all the old, reflexive Angelosian nonsense no longer automatically applies? I'm unclear on what you're driving at, especially if I have to go back to the 2017-2018 offseason when Peter Angelos might still have been giving input on running the team.  I think it's a stretch to try to draw parallels to those days, or even the John Angelos years, to David Rubenstein potential as an owner.
    • Irsay stealing the Colts in a midnight sneak away is in my top five depressing B-More moments, as well as the dreaded We Are Family Pirates in the ‘79 series. Otherwise, it’s a good bad list.
    • I forgot the name of the movie, but Jimmy Fallon was playing a BoSox superfan (tough role for an NY kid) and it was during the era of the ‘curse’ (right at the end of it actually) — a kid he was coaching asked, “What have the Red Sox ever done for you?” His character didn’t have an answer. But it made me think. The movie was out during the 14-years of losing seasons. I asked myself the same question about whether a lifetime of fandom was worth it. For me, outside of my family - 15 generations or more on the Eastern Shore - the O’s are also part of my DNA.  Win, lose, lose horribly, lose ugly, bad ownership, they just can’t shake me. All that said, I totally understand the frustration. It will take me a little longer to heal from this ugly exit to 2024.
    • In the market and $$$ for SP = Mets, Cubs, BOS, WAS and SFG (depending on Snell opt-out).  That’s enough chairs when music stops for Burnes and Fried to cash in, and still ample for second tier Eovaldi, Manea, Kikuchi, Flaherty.
