For those who think we went a bit under slot on some picks, have we drafted any over slot guys?

Wagner though is a COVID sophomore, so he's 21. I doubt he can get more than his slot next year at 22. Plus, Elias/Brad Ciolek are very good at knowing guy' number and they have yet to lose a high draft pick they tried to sign.

Nah he's just a garden variety draft eligible sophomore, he'll turn 21 in August. I do agree he'll sign though, I just wouldn't be surprised to see him get a bit over slot.

Interesting question. My instinct is that they had some sort of "make up" deal with Fabian after last year.

I’m no expert but it looks pretty simple… We got “our guys” in Holliday and Fabian. I think then we were thrilled that Beavers and Wagner were there when they were and we took them. That’s why day 2 w

Do you think Fabian was our 4th pick all along or would we have grabbed Whisenhunt if he fell one more pick to us? Some rumors out there we wanted Whisenhunt.

Has anyone run the numbers?  Are sophomores more likely to be overslot over the years?  Do they often go back to school?

Draft eligible sophomores are old for their class I don't think most of them want to go back and try again.

Rhodes and Trimble were both 20 year old soon to be 21 year old who were both draft eligible sophomores last year.   Rhodes was about 600K overslot and Trimble was a few hundred K under slot.  Go figure.    I think we don't know until we know which ones are over or under.

Ah, gotcha. Tell you the truth, I got him mixed up with another guy. Take me a bit to learn the new guys! Either way, I agree, he will sign and I'm guessing it will be around slot but could be a little more.

I am sure they know his price, but the guy was ACC player of the year.  He might figure if he goes back, he shows it wasn't a fluke especially since he hit 16 homers in his last 24 games or something like that.  He has more leverage than a junior but your point about his age is well-taken.

Jud Fabian went back to school.  They have to be more likely to go back to school than juniors who lose all leverage.

My best guess is that if ownership allows Elias to go to 104.9% of his draft pool, he still has some money to spend.

Doubtful the Orioles or any other team willingly exceeds 100% of the draft pool and willingly takes the punishment.  We should assume the draft pool is a treated as a hard cap.

I could be wrong, but I don't think there's punishment until you go to 105%.

Except 20 teams did it last year and the Pirates have done it every year since 2013.

Its a 75% tax on whatever the overage is.  For the Os, they would have had to pay 1.4M total if they went the 825k.  That 600k isn’t much of a penalty.

More than half the teams exceeded the cap last year and about half went to almost exactly 4.9% over.

Use all of the $$ on the Cody Sedlock trade.

      Corbin Burnes 2024

      By skanar · Posted

      If I'm reading this correctly, the Orioles are 6th in defensive value this year and the White Sox are dead last by a lot: to date, they're at -54 runs; the worst team in baseball for all of '23 was -72 (https://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/team_compare.cgi?request=1&year=2024&lg=MLB&stat=runs_fielding). So the difference between Burnes and Fedde must be the defensive adjustment. FWIW, fWAR using FIP has them even at 2.0 WAR apiece; using RA9 Burnes is ahead 2.9 to 2.4.

      You do realize our pen has given up fewer runs, fewer hits, fewer BBs, has a lower WHIP, and has more Ks?  I get that they don’t pass your eye test, but the numbers don’t back that up.  With all that said, I think they need to reinforce the pen but let’s stop with the dramatics.

      The OP is too pessimistic. NYY is 5-5 in their last 10, Orioles are 8-2. NYY have cooled down, as predicted. The O's are getting them at the right time. With that said, it's baseball. Anything can happen. I would be surprised if the Orioles don't take at least 2 out of 3, though.

      Objectively speaking I would have WAY MORE confidence in Rodon than Irvin/Kremer/Suarez. And I LOVE what both Irvin and Suarez have done for us this season and couldn’t have dreamed of either giving us any more than they have.

      Holliday is not getting traded IMO, so there’s really no point in discussing that. But there is a case to be made that the other two are a bit redundant and if we plan on doing some extensions, they could be expendable (at least one of them). Off the top of my head. I would strongly consider Miller or Crochet for one of them. I guess I look at it like this, I can see a realistic plausible scenario of us winning a championship or more without the services of Basallo or Mayo. However, I cannot see ya winning this season as is without a meaningful upgrade to the current pitching. Many said all last season, the pitching was good as is, until it (predictably) wasn’t.

      Well for starters, there closer and set up man are both better than ours. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that the Yanks pen is better than the Phills by any stretch. But it is better than ours.
