1. Wieters

2. Liz

3. Patton

4. Reimold

5. Rowell

6. Snyder

7. Arrieta

8. Spoone

9. Beato

10. Erbe

anybody have insider abilities to copy us the scouting reports on the O's top ten...? I used to be a member, but I let it expire.

That is against the board rules. BA has every right to protect their content.

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.

Surprised Spoone and Rowell are that low.

[TheBee]

I apologize for my suggestion.

If a mod doesn't mind, I can post the important snippets for you guys if you wanted. Is that against the rules? I just got my BA account 2 days ago...

Like I said in the other thread, BA is not that favorable on Rowell as we all are. I wonder why?

Surprised Spoone and Rowell are that low.

Maybe the optimistic side says that some of the other guys ranked ahead of them show how much better our top 10 has become.

[tywright]

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?

I think the fact that he is our #3 prospect right now should change the way we view the 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.
