It's Gray Rod. After this is where it gets a little bit trickier
-
It has to be Adley. Grayson had a great year, but Adley is Adley

I think Greiner can hit sub-200 while providing above average baserunning and shortstop defense if that's what you're asking. More with the bat is possible, but I wouldn't bet on it.
If Galvis is very cheap, I wouldn't mind a one-year reunion. Would rather pay big for a SS though as the market is overloaded and we can probably get somewhat of a discount on someone good

He's a got a good fastball that can reach 98 MPH, so a team could potentially take a chance on him as a reliever, which is probably where he future resides. Despite the velocity, he doesn't get a ton of swing and miss but on the plus side, batters don't hit him consistently either. But when they do, he has a high Line Drive rate which suggests his mistakes are fairly meaty.
Like you said, any team could have tried to sign him and even offered a 40-man spot if they really liked him, so it's doubtful he will be protected. Saying all that, I haven't totally looked at the 40-man and players that need to be protected so I can't fully say he's worth a 40-man spot or not.
My opinion now would be no, but there are some things to like with him now that his walk rate has come way down.
I agree with all that. It's just puzzling to me that if a team liked a guy, they wouldn't try to sign him when he's freely available in favor of waiting for the Rule V so they can have the privilege of paying an extra $50,000 for him and having to keep them on the MLB roster all year.
I think I posted a while back saying I thought a team might take a chance on Peralta in the Rule V, but that was before I knew he'd be a minor league free agent at year's end -
I think if they have years next year like they did this year there's a good chance they have their MLB debuts in 2022

I doubt we protect him and I doubt he gets taken.
Yeah, if he was just a minor league free agent and teams weren't pounding on his door, not sure why they'd grab him in the Rule V

Was Brandon Snyder the guy who was available after Cincy took the outfielder we really wanted and now I can't even think of his name. Old age!
Jay Bruce and yes

I too read the summaries everyday. Here's a long overdue thank you from me!

Same expert analysis by posters on here calling Mullins a bum that can only hit from one side of the plate with a noodle arm and was a candidate to be DFA-ed last year.
Can you tell me how you knew before this season that Mullins would be fantastic this year? I want to work for a MLB front office

Gimme a passable defensive 2nd baseman that hits .265 without too many strikeouts.
A decent back of the order candidate, and a Tommy John reclamation project... and maybe bring back Harvey
Outfield... Hays, Mullins, Stowers
Infield... Gutierrez (until Dorrian), Urias, FA, Mountcastle
Catcher.... Rutschman
DH... Mancini (until Mundy)
SP..... Means, Zimmerman, FA, Lowther, FA, Harvey
Pen... Sulser, Tate, Diplan, Whoever
I think relying on Dorrian or Mundy for anything at the major league level is a pretty big stretch. Dorrian is basically a non-prospect and Mundy is reeeealy going to have to hit to be a useful major-leaguer
-
Let's not kid ourselves. There's a zero percent chance Rodriguez and Rutschman start next year in the majors unless they change the service time rules
-
You know who else had like 4 good starts this year? Spenser Watkins

If a guy gives up a lot of soft contact, I don’t care if he doesn’t strike out very many guys. If he’s giving up a lot of hard contact, that’s another story but no, I don’t care that Akin didn’t strike out a dozen guys yesterday. I care that he only walked two guys, and overall it was a good outing.
Akin struck out three batters in six innings yesterday, good for a 4.5 K/9
Can you show me one pitcher who has had success in MLB over the past couple of years with a 4.5 K/9?

Was that even close to the strike zone. Yahoo showed that 3-2 pitch to McKenna as way off. Ump called it a strike.
Broadcast had it as a strike

Kelvin Gutierrez, Rylan Bannon, Patrick Dorian.
That is our current 3B depth. If those are the options, then I don’t see how you give up on Dorrian or risk losing him. I think he will be protected.
Well, first of all I think the chances someone picks him is probably like 10% tops. The probability he sticks on a MLB roster all year is probably like 1%
I just have a hard time seeing him as a MLB 3rd baseman. And I think we could find people of about equivalent skill to those you listed on the waiver wire/FA pretty easily.
Besides, We've got Henderson and Westburg rapidly ascending the system and Mayo is looking like a stud. Dorrian is a stop-gap at best -
I would be shocked if anyone claims Dorrian and doubly shocked if he sticks all year. He's not the kind of player people take in the Rule V, and he's not close to being one of our best prospects

I could actually see someone grabbing Peralta. He's made big strides this year and could probably pitch okay out of a bullpen

Isn't he Rule 5 eligible?
If so, I'm all but certain no one is going to take him. 21-year-old outfielders out of high-A ball basically never get taken
-
He really falls off the mound when he throws. If he keeps pitching like that, I don't care though
-
So it seems he's kind of range-y at 2B, but the throwing isn't good?
-
I think Tyler Wells is a good Major League pitcher that probably every team would like to have on their roster in some capacity.
No idea if he's a starter though. If the team wants to stretch him out to see, I can't imagine that will somehow make him an ineffective reliever if it goes poorly
Who is the Orioles 2021 #3 prospect?

I went with Cowser, but I could see it being Henderson or Mayo. Power Rankings were the tiebreaker for me
