I cannot imagine that the Orioles have $1 million to give him. They will likely have a few hundred thousand to throw at him. They will sit down with him and show him their development plan for him. They will tell him how they will help him make the most of his tools, and why he should begin playing professional baseball right now instead of going to LSU and playing another season of college. I would not that against Mike Elias on this. I am not saying it is going to get done, but I spoke to someone in the industry who said that Mike Elias is very persuasive  in these kinds of situation. 

It'll be a fun follow the rest of the month.    I don't care how bad the Age-21 season was; if thru Age-20 you established yourself as a Brooks Lee-level polished NCAA infielder, and Elias can sell you on "Orioles school" at that rate, it'd be crazy.

They aren't allowed to give Major League contracts anymore, are they?

It makes Creed Willems feel better.

He transferred to LSU (along with everyone else in college baseball this summer lol) so I imagine he's not signing for less than seven figures. He was a legit top 10 candidate entering season. Keep in

This is the first time they've ever gone above the pool amount.   There was no way they were going to get both Walters and Young signed.   If they get McLean then they've done about as well as could h

Absolutely. We’ll see what happens. The rehab of his shoulder injury likely was an issue for him. Sell him on getting healthy and mashing in Delmarva in 2023.

No more Major League contracts, I'm pretty sure Bundy was the last one, and not just for the Orioles, for all MLB draftees.

If he wants seven figures, I'm surprised Elias drafted him because there's no way he's getting that after the year he had no matter what the issues supposedly were. He'd be a nice get if you get him as a discount, but like you said, you don't transfer to LSU unless you think you are going to play a lot and up your value. 

I think they took a couple of shots at the end, with maybe the hope that maybe in the end, when presented with the opportunity to play pro ball, they’d take a lower number. 
 

They seemed less confident this year that they will sign everyone

Agreed on all parts. It does he took shots in just incase, knowing he can get a UDFA with about the same talent as a normal 17th rounder.

Being a 22 year old senior next year, don’t see how he will get a better deal - the O’s at minimum will help him be in a better position to be MLB ready with a top notch development staff.

Maybe he doesn't want to pursue baseball professionally?

Yeah, not sure what they offered him. I guess he thinks he can get healthy and back to first round form with the plan he has in place. Too bad, good luck to him, though.

He'll still have the covid year, so he's actually got two more years of eligibility left. My guess is he thinks that he can work his way back into the first round...and even if he has to take a below slot first round deal..no chance the Orioles were offering him even close to that. Top level athletes tend to be confident, it doesn't surprise me that he's choosing to bet that he's better then he showed this year.

Yes and the thought of spending a year at LSU with a stacked roster likely to go to the College World Series isn't a bad idea for a college aged kid.

Yeah, no doubt LSU is an attractive option. Maybe LSU has a plan to help him advance his swing decisions and approach issues. As well as get him healthy. It’s ballsy to do this. Jud Fabian lost a lot of money, but I’m starting to think he really wants to be an Oriole. Maybe Young doesn’t. Shrugs…

Maybe this means someone else has taken the money (or at least some of it)

If Carter thinks 1 year of NCAA success & bigger signing bonus > jump starting your career and getting to a $30M+ on a your last contract year works in his favor then I tend to think he’s not confident in his pro ball future. Move on

      Especially when you factor in the DL Hall trade too.  Suarez and Wells get bumped to the pen only if Bradish and Means are effective starters a decent part of the season.  Would the O's promote Povich or McDermott to pitch relief?  My guess is not anytime soon, but I dunno. A trade would for one or two arms would be best, but trading for good relief pitching is only harder now because so many teams can make the playoffs.

      Off-season Qualifying Offer Question

      By EddeeEddee · Posted

      But O'Hearn's numbers are inflated because he never bats against lefties, plus he's trash in the outfield.  If Santander's hitting does not improve this season of course you don't give him a QO, but that's unlikely.  He'll probably pick it up as the weather heats up.  Plus Tony plays at least a decent RF and can play first base too.   Like others have said, should the O's offer Santander a QO?  Maybe -- it depends on how he performs and how Kjerstad and Stowers perform.

      Wait, since when is money no object? It remains to be seen what the budget constraints are going to be with the new ownership, but if Santander is projected to put up 3.0 WAR for $20 million and his replacement (Kjerstad/Cowser/Stowers...) can put up 2.5 WAR for less than a million then that will be factored in.  The goal will never be about being better than the other 29 teams in a payroll vacuum.

      I think you have a good understanding and I assume you’ve read Ted Williams Science of Hitting.  It’s all about lining up planes of pitch and bat.  Historically with sinkers and low strikes a higher attack angle played and was more in alignment with pitch plane.  In today’s game of spin and high zone fastball an uppercut swing gives you minimal chance and results in top spin grounders and swing & miss.

      I'll bow to your expertise even if it seems unlikely to my laymen understanding.

      Actually it will.  As you noted.  MLB pitch plane is like 2-3 degrees.  The more your attack angle increased the more you’re hitting a top spin tennis return.

      My point was an overly uppercut swing isn't going to result in that low a launch angle.  Not unless he is somehow consistently topping the pitches, which seems pretty unlikely.
