Maybe he represents himself. This makes sense with slotting etc. the little extra money a 4th rounder might get is lost to the agent in fees anyway. You really don’t need an agent until arbitration or free agency.

I think Bradish is in line for a pre-arbitration bonus if he finishes top 5 in Cy Young voting.  It's 1.5M if he finishes third if I'm reading this correctly.

Didn't Mussina extend once?

Sure they are. Signing marginal guys to one year deals and hoping they work out is also risky. Teams have to accept some level of risk.

I’d offer Grayson a deal to buy out a couple of years of free agency, because his stuff is so dominant. I don’t see the same stuff from Bradish. He’s obviously very good, and effective. But, we’ve got him for 5 more years. I don’t see much reason to take the risk with him.

You are a superstar, sir!! Thanks, my memory is not so hot anymore lol 

His was right on the brink of free agency ..the game has changed since then in timing and acceptance of offers

That was the contract where Mussina caught heat from the player’s union for signing a below market dollar amount.

Mussina signed a three-year, $20.45 million deal on May 3, 1997, five weeks into the Orioles' wire-to-wire AL East championship run. Mussina and Angelos reached the deal only after Mussina overruled Tellem's advice to press for a higher average annual value.

What players association head Don Fehr described as a "garden-variety" contract was lampooned by other agents and players, including Atlanta pitcher Tom Glavine.

Angelos should have given Moose twice the money for 6 years.  Still would have been 1/2 Chris Davis lol .

So Bautista is pitching great.  One pitch and he is out of a year and there is no way to know if he will be as good again.   5 year or longer extensions for  pitchers sounds risky. 

 

Thank you, Mr. Angelos. Yes, I think we all agree the length and amount of contract Mussina is looking for is crazy and we should pass.

In the grand scheme of things I don't think it would have gotten any of those teams into the playoffs.

Team would have been more fun to watch.

There is something to be said for having a decent chance to win every fifth day.  Erik Bedard single-handedly kept me sane in 2007.

To today's ear, that archive story had loads of content star players talking about other players, their motivations, and even other guy's contracts.    I will guess Adley won't be as forthcoming on the eve of 2027 spring training.

I worry about GRod’s health long term. Seems like all these guys throwing this hard are getting TJ surgery. 

I wonder if anyone has studied whether there’s been a correlation between TJ surgery and velocity at the major lesgue level in, say, the last decade or so.

      The Difference between the O's and other Playoff teams

      By bpilktree67 · Posted

      I honestly think there is very little difference in most the teams that made the playoffs.  The most wins was 98 wins and there was 12 teams with 86 wins or more.  It also seems that many of the teams are on the same page with scouting and analytics now hitting wise.  Years back you had moneyball which the A’s used before anyone else.  Then the Astros and few teams started with analytics and seemed to be ahead of the rest of the league but they have caught up now imo.  Now the move seems to be on launch angle and hitting homers by getting the ball in the air but that seems to be across the league.  Obviously some teams have more money and more talented players but the strategy seems about the same.  The main differences I see is in pitching in the playoffs which is bullpen games and using openers rather then a starter to go 7 innings and carry your team to win now a slight sign of trouble they are taking them out.  With all these short inning guys and pitching them in certain pockets we are seeing very little offense and the hitting with runners in scoring position has been awful.  It all comes down to RISP at bats and getting 1 or 2 big base hits in those situations.  We just haven’t been able to get those hits so far in short series.

      And we've seen similar with Kjerstad. Kjerstad might be the best pure hitting prospect in the Orioles system of recent years besides Gunnar. I want to see him playing everyday next year is possible none of this sitting him versus LHP more often than not. These prospects need to get their reps and stop treating them like John Lowenstein and Benny Ayala.

      Offseason Trade Pondering

      By bpilktree67 · Posted

      I don’t see Elias trading off prospects anymore at least top guys.  We have moved a few guys in last year and I expect they try to build that back up.  They should have money to use if they want to add talent.

      Blah, well Rob Manfred has to be happy along with Fox network. A Yankees-Mets World Series match up is still on the table and the Dodgers as well if they win tomorrow. I knew the Royals would get jettisoned by the Yankees without too much of a fight.

      For Mountcastle …Maybe Chase Petty and Tristan Smith?

      I’m guessing they ask for Mayo or Basallo of Kjerstad. For me …I’d give them Kjerstad since he’s defensively challenged IMO. Maybe Kjerstad, McDermott, Beavers, and O’Ferrall?

      192 wins in two seasons is a pretty strong argument to stay the course.  That said, I wonder if the young players wouldn't be better off long-term if the scientific matchups took a back seat to the raw talent a little more than we've seen.  Overthinking something can be a thing you know.
