Is David Hess a legit prospect for the Orioles? He had a 1.34 ERA over his last 12 starts at high-A, and then was lights out in the Eastern League playoffs after being promoted.

Kiley McDaniel: 93-96 with avg offspeed last year and early this year, velo down a tick late in the season (nothing to worry about) but other secondary stuff was a little sharper. Moving up the list and getting near that MLB discussion.

Comment From Mike

ETA on Chance Sisco? He held his own at AA after a mid-year promotion and will likely start there next year. Any chance of seeing him in the majors in 2016? Will he stick at C?

Kiley McDaniel: Chance for late next year, but catchers always take longer to develop, more weird stuff goes wrong and there?s more to learn at the upper levels than other positions. I know Wieters likes the kid and BAL thinks he can stick, but other teams are more dubious. Tools are there and may be a situation where if his framing is a separator (can?t really know until he?s in the bigs) you put up with some other stuff that is just okay. The bat is for real, though, so he?ll find a spot eventually. If Wieters doesn?t return, he?s the guy they will be looking to and sooner than later.

Oh and that pun was not intended.

Comment From Mike

Is Jomar Reyes a top-100 prospect for you? When he wasn?t hurt he handled full-season ball pretty well for an 18-year old.

Kiley McDaniel: He right around #100. Can?t know for sure until I line everyone up like 6 months from now, but there?s still some shades of Miguel Sano here, which gets some people really excited about Reyes.

      Westburg exceeded rookie eligibility limits last year exceeding 130 at bats and more than 45 days on the active roster. On the plus side he might qualify as a super sophomore or at the very least avoid the sophomore slump.

      Westburg shouldn’t be, where are you seeing that?

      So since Westburg is apparently still ROY eligible, Cowser and Westburg may project to be the best rookie combination since Fred Lynn and Jim Rice in 1975?

      John Means 2024

      There were several and I was one them. I'm  on record as saying I was one of his biggest Apologists . You should feel good about yourself as you were able to see that Means would be imploding before our very eyes( which was an opinion or a guess, which is what I did) as far as feeling bad for me? Dont I'm plenty good enough to know I wont be able to guess right every time

      Orioles acquire Ryan O’Hearn

      Fantastic pickup by Elias and big kudos to O’Hearn for taking advantage of the resources to improve. He’s a great story.

      Given his injury history and what’s happening right now, Means may make more money as an Oriole next year than as a free agent. He may have to settle for league minimum as a FA but would do better than that in arbitration. Heck, unless he’s effective at least a little this year then the orioles might release him after the season to avoid paying more than league minimum. I hope Means recovers, very much so, but this scenario is possible imo.    ps. I guess I ignored the part where you said if Means thinks he is healthy.

      Jackson Holliday 2024

      By Billy F-Face3 · Posted

      What I'd like to see in the next game Holliday plays, is for him to keep his eyes following through on the ball when he swings. In the last game I saw, he was yanking his head off the zone when he swung and couldn't see the bat to the ball. He was missing wildly and it wasn't even competitive. So, keep your eye on the ball! Follow all the way through! If your swing is so violent that it's yanking your head off the sight of the ball, then adjust your mechanics because you can't hit what you can't see!
