Very nice article. Great Job Dan. I look forward to reading more of your articles.

Some questions:

Is Baker coming back from an injury?

Also, why did Brandhorst get held back this year after pitching in Delmarva last year?

Where is Bywater?

Brandhorst is 23, I'd imagine he's considered organizational at this point.

Baker might be coming off an injury. I'll be sure to talk to him at some point.

Just a guess, but Bywater might be going to Delmarva to take Bridwell's spot

(I'm Dan, btw)

Any word on where Wise and Esquivel from last years draft are?

Great article. Although it doesn't take much to get me excited about a prospect, Bridwell seems to be a riser! I'd be interested if someone who has seen him/has tape of him live before this year and now could compare how his stuff and mechanics have changed. What type of ceiling are we looking at now. All I've read is the top10 list review on him, which was promising. It looks like he's had a bit of a breakthrough down in Sarasota though! :clap3:

Nice job, Mayday Malone.

Just speculating, but both appear headed to the GCL, though I'd love to see them in Aberdeen.

Great stuff!

BTW, I'm assuming you are the same Dan Malone who contributes/contributed to Orioles-Nation.com, right?

Congrats Dan! Maybe I'll see you up there sometime. I got an internship with Ripken Baseball and work up there at least 4 days a week. I might've applied for the OH internship if I already didn't take the one with Ripken Baseball .

Were you there yesterday? Because I might have seen you.

Nice read, good job dude. Keep it up.

[Tank]

Good stuff. Should be an interesting team to follow this summer.

Yeah, I was, though Ripken Baseball and the Ironbirds have a lot of interns so it could've been any one of us. I've been working up in the press box as there aren't enough cubicles in the regular office space.
