I think this list was mentioned in another thread after one of the posters recieved a copy of BA's magazine in the mail. Thanks for posting the link, anyway. If any BA members can give us some highlights on BA's comments about the players, or what is said in today's chat, it will be much appreciated.

I've noticed that a lot of the national publications are very high on Liz -- he ranks as 2nd on BA's list and he was the no. 46 proepct in MLB according to milb.com.

It seems like the OH is higher on Spoone than most others, maybe becuase they were paying closer attention to what the O's staff has to say and also what he did over the 2nd half of the season.

And why isn't Olson on the list? He still qualifies as a prospect since he didn't pitch over 50 IP.

BA ranks these guys based on upside, so why is Reimold ahead of Rowell? I just don't see Reimold's ceiling being better than Rowell's.

they also have our projected 2011 rotation as Bedard, Loewen, Liz, Guthrie, and Albers, in that order. And Angle at CF and Costanzo at DH.

Interesting to see that Patton was left off that list considering they have him listed as our #3 prospect...

Does this change the way anyone looks at the Tejada trade?

Albers was projected as Houston's #2 and Patton #4.

We have a lot of depth at SP...so much that you could create another rotation of Penn, Olson, Patton, Spoone, Erbe (Hernandez, Arrieta, Beato, Bascom)

Another thing I just noticed, our best athlete is Tyler Henson. Look for him to breakout this year and become a very good prospect.

      I would have loved Mayo to get reps at 1B in 2023.

      I generally agree with this. However, Mayo reportedly got extra pre-game practice at first yesterday and when he entered the game he played 1B with Rivera sticking at 3B.  So those positions could be flipped in your left pitcher lineup.

      O's .300 hitters

      By LookitsPuck · Posted

      Forget .300, the O's don't even have somebody hitting 285. Gunnar is the closest at 282.  You look around the AL competitive teams, here are their hitters batting 280 or more: Yankees: Judge (321), Soto (285) Red Sox: Yoshida (290), Wong (287), Duran (287), Refsnyder (284) Twins: Correa (310), Miranda (292) Royals: Witt (331), Fermin (286)...Perez is close at 275 Astros: Alvarez (308), Diaz (301), Altuve (301), Pena is close at 271 The Tigers have none. The Mariners have none. The best hitters AVG wise on the O's this year:  Gunnar - 282 Westburg - 269 Mountcastle - 265 Adley - 254 O'Hearn - 254 Cowser - 242 Santander - 241 Mullins - 233 And it's not like this team is a patient team.  I think the issue here is the young guys are doing what young guys do. They struggle. Cowser was gangbusters, then bad, then gangbusters, then bad. Holliday was bad, gangbusters, now he's bad. Mayo has just been bad. And the top of the lineup rarely hits on all cylinders. It's like 1 of them hit each day and that's it.

      Irvin claimed by Twins

      By jabba72 · Posted

      I was shocked when he wasnt claimed the first time so good news for him that he gets to continue pitching in the MLB I guess. Elias clearly only saw him as AAA depth at this point .

      Irvin claimed by Twins

      By LookitsPuck · Posted

      Would have much rather kept Irvin in the system over Burch Smith or Kimbrel. I hated when they DFAd him the first time, and disliked it a second time.  It wouldn't shock me to see Cole Irvin have a longer, effective career from here on out than Trevor Rogers, for example.

      I understand keeping Kimbrel as a face-saving move. But why Smith? Is he a guy you want to use with anything on the line? Is there a belief he can be made over to help after this year?
