This whole thing about the kid is starting to sound very CIA-like, which is a shame...

If you make those kind of monetary demands, you have to expect due diligence. If he was asking for around a $500,000 bonus, instead of 10 times as much, then I'm sure the teams wouldn't be asking for the bevy of tests.

It's a shame in the sense that this is because others have lied about their age.

I would hope they'd be asking for a whole lot of tests then, too.

      Jackson Holliday 2024

      I agree with that and he's only two years out of high school. If Holliday gets back to his pre-call up stat line as you mentioned then he deserves serious consideration to be back on the Orioles roster. For now Mayo and Norby are deserving of being called up if the Orioles want to bring up a player from Norfolk.

      I just want to riff on the term “elite athlete.”   To me, different people have different ideas of what level of quality is “elite,” and what it means to be an “athlete.”    For some people, “elite” means top 10% of the whole populace, for others it means top 0.1% of people who play professional sports.   Some people consider you “athletic” if you are very well coordinated and have good ability to learn skills, others don’t consider you “athletic” unless you could hold your own in the Olympic decathlon.   So a lot of times, people arguing about whether someone is an “elite athlete” are really talking past each other because they don’t ageee on what the term means.   To me, most pro sports players are elite athletes, and it’s just a matter of how elite they are.   In the case of Holliday, he’s athletic enough to be an awesome baseball player, and that’s elite enough for me.

      Right. It’s a screwup on their part.

      The last column is IRS, which means “inherited runners scored”  Inherited runners would be IR and I am surprised that I didn’t see it anywhere in that column. This particular site has a different set of initials, IRS means inherited runners scored. I don’t think that can possibly be correct, because that would be a huge number.
