Players can be signed for up to $150,000 without it affecting an organization's overall bonus pool.  For any bonus above that mark, the overage beyond $150,000 counts toward the pool.

An 80 runner??  Would that make him the fastest guy in the org?

He could give Bradfield a run for their money. However, Nate George appears to be bulking up too.

Tess (12th round) will certainly be overslot if they’re able to sign him. 

His profile doesn’t scream crazy overslot. Maybe 300K. Will be interesting to find out.

Tess is a high school senior with a 4.1 GPA and a commitment to Pitt. He was also first team all state at catcher. They’re not buying him out of that for $150,000. I’d be shocked if $300,000 gets it done because the college experience probably has value to a kid that is academically motivated (as he appears to be), but I can’t say that for sure.

Just to clarify, you're not talking about George, right?

No. Sorry. I’m talking to @Rbiggs2525about Tess because he called George the first overslot of day 3, which I don’t believe is accurate given what I said about Tess. Tess was also the first team all state catcher in Florida high schools in addition to everything else I have said about him. The back in forth should be in the Tess thread, but I’ll edit it for clarity.

This kid will sign.  He removed his commit to a school and plans to go pro now.   

George switched his commitment from Eastern Illinois to Northwest Florida State Junior College. We still should be able to sign him.

George might be one of the fastest players in this year’s class with at least plus-plus speed. He’s shown a quick right-handed swing too, although it hasn’t been tested much against quality pitching yet after the outfielder didn’t play in many showcase events. George switched his commitment to Northwest Florida State Junior College in June and could be signable here for the Orioles.

      Overall, Hyde is fine. I like him as the manager and I generally think people completely overrate what a manager is and does in today’s game. Most managers have the same in game strategies. The team is winning the last 3 seasons under him and he has pressed a lot of buttons correctly with pinch hitters this season. That said, the pitcher usage can be odd at times. Cano for 2 pitches last night is definitely head scratching. Now, that doesn’t mean we win or anything but I think it at least it increases your chances of winning. But they lost last night because of how much they expanded the zone. They could have scored way more runs in this series but they kept letting opportunities go by. One thing I noticed, especially with someone like OHearn, is almost as if they were trying to guide the ball to the monster. It’s an inviting target and wonder if they sometimes gets in their heads.

      And even with that, the Dodgers had a long stretch of being a 500ish team. They got a little healthier and starting winning more.

      Why do folks always have to cry about payroll? The O's had the top farm in the game, they shouldn't have to resort to the depths they have to find guys that can stand on second base with a glove on their hand. Part of building a team is building depth.  The O's have traded a lot of that position player depth to fill the holes in their pitching staff generated by their draft strategy.

      It’s just the tone of things.  It would be nice if there was video. And btw, I’m not saying this is for sure a sign of anything.  Just asking the question if it is.

      Old school “book” said save for closer until you take the lead in extras when on road.  New school “book” says use closer as soon as there is a walk-off scenario in a tie game.  The rationale is that a tie game is higher leverage than a 1-run lead and you may have a lead when the 10th inning comes around. The problem in this scenario is that it wasn’t a choice between having Seranthony pitch the 9th and Cano pitch the 10th or vice versa.  It was either have Cano pitch the 9th or pull him from the game.  And, other than Seranthony being a little better at striking out lefties, there isn’t a huge gap in talent between the pitchers.  We needed 6 outs to win and we were better off having Cano pitch 3 of the outs even if that meant he was put in an ever so slightly higher leverage scenario than Dominguez. Pulling Cano was a mistake. Hyde made it because he was following the “book” but failed to factor in nuances specific to the situation. I can’t really blame him for pitching to O’Neil. Obviously, you walk him if Holliday makes the preceding play.  It’s not idea to walk the bases loaded there and put the winning run on 2nd - it was really pick your poison.

      There's a slight difference of payroll and the ability to overcome injuries there.    LA 238.5M Baltimore 108.5M
