Orioles' 2010 Draftees Signing Tracker (updated 8/12)


Recommended Posts

Callis also has Wynston Sawyer (8th rounder)'s bonus as $300,000. Not sure if that'd been reported here yet. How does that compare to slot recommendation for that pick/round?

jimcallisBA Orioles have officially signed 8th-rder Wynston Sawyer for $300,000. #mlbdraft

I believe thats like 3rd or 4th round money......

We've done particularly well in signing our position players. 23 of 27 are on board, excluding only:

1. Machado (SS)

16. King (OF)

41. Blanchard (SS)

46. Torres ©

Do we care about King, Blanchard or Torres? Are any of those overslots?

Torres definitely is. He is a good defensive catcher with solid offensive upside, though nothing special. King I believe also is, but once again nothing THAT special.

I made a post a week ago called, "Overslots I want to Sign", Torres is one guy a I mentioned, the other guys listed aren't anything worth writing home about though IMO...except for Machado of course....

Someone who knows should create a complete list of the Orioles draft picks & If they've signed or not. This thread should be created after last nights deadline. Idont view the sections other than the major league too often. But can find the info without viewing tons of threads. Can anbody help?

Ummm....Did you look at the 1st post? It is complete list of the 2010 draft and when/if they agreed to terms.

Ummm Thanks:p I looked at the date & didnt think the last edited. Good signing results... I would have liked toget Dixon though.

I noticed that after the fact. Dixon was kind of odd since it sounded like there was almost a deal in place weeks ago.

I would like to see if any previous unsigned draftees were redrafted and signed this go around by another club this year. For example, Devin Harris (last year's 8th rd pick) drafted in 48th rd and signed by Giants this year. Unless it was for major overslot money, it looks like he lost out on a lot of $.

I think you have to consider the results here pretty good. We signed 39 of 48 picks, including 22 of the first 25 picks and 34 of the top 39. We got our top 7 position player picks, which to me was a very high priority. Most of our misses were on pitchers, and we could afford a few of those.

We signed a lot of guys, but what about the quality?

So far, the hitters drafted in the 5th round and later have put up the following stats:

.221 AVG (426-1930)

163 BB (12.8 PA/BB)

516 K (4.1 PA/K)

Most of the success, if you want to call it that have come from 4th year seniors who at levels below where they should be by age.

It's obviously very early but the lack of plate discipline and power from the players drafted this year have been putrid save for about one or two guys.

    • 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. 
    • 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). 
    • 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.
