So is catcher his permanent position or can he move to 3B or 1B?

He is a catcher right now, but if he doesn't continue to improve behind the plate he may be athletic enough for 3B or OF...

So nothing new? This is pathetic that 1 out of the top 12 is signed.

Just be patient.....

It's starting to get past the point of "just be patient". They were "close" on Gonzalez two weeks ago, so maybe he (and maybe some others) have agreed as well and it just hasn't been announced.

I didn't realize that it was said we were close on Gonzalez, thats good news...Solid prospect IMO

I'm not too excited about him (his stuff isn't great and he doesn't have much projection left), but he still should be signed ASAP. No reason to drag it out this long.

Also, with this little time left it seems unlikely to say the least that Urban, Esquivel, and Robinson will sign. Which is not a good situation by any means.

I don't understand your reasoning? Because we don't have enough time to work so many deals at once? I disagree, I keep saying this, search last year's draft and see how many we had signed......

True, but even last year Hobgood, Townsend, and Dalles signed pretty quickly. Why a guy like Bywater hasn't been signed yet I can't understand.

Last year there were reports that there had been negotiations with Coffey, Ohlman, et al. This year there's nothing. It's like people have just stopped caring.

I don't know why Bywater hasn't signed, but he will. I don't think it makes much sense for him to go back into the draft in a year stronger with college pitching. His value is pretty high right now....

It seems to me that last year all of our "overslot" signings did not become official until August and many of them right before the deadline. Does anyone have a list of the dates in which players signed last year? We still have 3 1/2 weeks until the deadline, so IMO it is not time to panic yet.

Givens will never sign. We lowballed him by not treating him like Tim Beckham, who Mychal knows he is better than. We spent our money on overslots. Why do we waste picks like this!

      Do the Orioles Need Players with Postseason Experience?

      Don't think it matters much, tbh.

      Would you say that the Tigers rebuild is more successful than the O's?

      By LookitsPuck · Posted

      Oh, I'd love to have one come through our system by being drafted and developed. No doubt at all.

      Paging @Tony-OH to the thread.  🤣 I've actually advocated for this in the minors forums...letting other teams draft and try to develop guys to see which have a shot of sticking and which don't.  Essentially let other teams make mistakes in the draft and trade for guys that are still in the lower levels in other systems but you think have a shot.  I do believe that's part of Elias's strategy....as risk adverse as he is, he's not going to take risks on drafting pitching if he views that's the biggest risk in the draft. All I'm saying it'd be nice to have a Skubal come through our system.  Does anyone really disagree with drafting and developing a Cy Young winner or is that something you guys aren't interested in?

      Oh, I get that. I just think you'd be hard pressed to say year in and year out the Central is anything but a mediocre division.  Typically, the AL East has at least 3 strong teams, with some seasons where 4-5 of them have winning records or close to it.  But it doesn't matter. As said before, I've been saying for weeks prior to the end of the season that the Tigers were a very good team. I just wouldn't trade our org, team, farm, whatever for the Tigers.

      3 of the 4 AL teams remaining are from the Central.

      Does it matter if they get drafted and developed vs. traded for and developed? Hell, the O's starting rotation was a strength this year. Here's a breakdown of how it was constructed: Burnes - traded for (Elias) Suarez - free agent (Elias) Kremer - traded for (Duquette) Eflin - traded for (Elias) Grayson - drafted (Duquette) Bradish - traded for (Elias) Povich - traded for (Elias) Irvin - traded for (Elias) Tyler Wells - Rule V (Elias) Rogers - traded for (Elias) McDermott - traded for (Elias) Means - drafted (Duquette) I'm excluding Bowman being an opener and getting a starting credit.  But that said, out of all of the starters that the O's used this year, none were drafted by Elias, and only 2 were drafted by the O's (GRod, Means). 8 were acquired via trade (7 by Elias, 1 by Duquette), and 2 via FA or Rule V.  I don't necessarily think that Elias needs to draft starters to build a rotation, but it would be nice to see a couple make it before being traded, TBH.  That said, I don't think the above is sustainable, but the strategy would be sustainable if you have free agency play a bigger part. Look at the Royals. Their best 3 starters weren't drafted by them (Ragans - traded for, Wacha - FA, Lugo - FA).

      Elias on contract extensions

      Unfortunately, it's looking like there is a lot of truth in that statement.  I believe Steve Bisciotti (Ravens owner) once said, he wanted to have a good team every year, get into the playoffs enough, eventually things go your way and win the Super Bowl.  This was in response to playing salary cap games for a few seasons and then eventually having to pay the piper with the dead money and being uncompetitive for a few years. Hopefully the O's can be consistently good and get hot at the end of the season and make a run through the playoffs.  Go back to June 1st and the five best teams in the league were the Orioles, Yankees, Guardians, Phillies and Dodgers.  Two are already out, Guardians fading fast with the Yankees and Dodgers still alive.   A Tigers - Mets World Series would be quite fitting.
