Top 20 Orioles prospects after the draft


Recommended Posts

Assuming the Orioles sign their top 10 rd picks, what's your updated top 20 prospects?

*I'm not sure there is an overslot picked after the 10th rd who would crack the top 20, even if they signed...

Tyler and Ayers would probably crack the top 20. They're mega-longshots to sign though.

Here's how I'd go, assuming Gausman and Steve Johnson graduate:

1. DBundy

2. Schoop

3. Delmonico

4. EdRod

5. Harvey

6. Hader

7. Urrutia

8. Walker

9. Wright

10. Hoes

11. Hart

12. Marin

13. Davies

14. Ohlman

15. Sisco

16. Berry

17. Kline

18. Tarpley

19. Seabrooke

20. Wilson

this is a rough guess at best

You know, that Top 10 looks pretty good.

I am guessing Delmonico is ahead of Urrutia because of age? But who ultimately has the higher upside does everyone think?

Delmonico's power potential puts him comfortably ahead of Urrutia for me (and pretty much everyone else), plus his age and level are more impressive than Urrutia's. Urrutia's a good player and all, but Delmonico has all-star upside which isn't something you can say about many 20 year olds.

Esposito is pretty much a lost cause, yeah.

The interesting thing about this draft is how much room there is for improvement in each pick's prospect status. The first nine picks could all become top ten prospects if things go right for them. Clearly Rajsich and Duquette believe in the player development system, and if you just look at the last year and a half, there's really no reason not to. It'll be a test, but if the development team passes it, things could look pretty good a couple years from now.

It loses a little bit if Gausman graduates though. But he is likely the only graduate unless Urrutia is called up following a freak end of game jumping accident of all three OFers.

No question it loses some if Gausman graduates, but even then you have Marin sliding up who seems to be a pretty intriguing player.

I agree that that seems to be the deepest top 10 I've seen in a few years.

Seems pretty high on Kline, who wasn't really showing much before the injury (in a very, very small sample size obviously). Any reason for that other than his status as a #2 draft pick? Just curious if you'd heard any good reports on him.

I want the phone number to the guy Tim Berry has lobbying for him.

Esposito? Lost cause. Parker Bridwell? Done. Xavier Avery? Topped out. But there's Tim Berry, a lefty starter going on three seasons of 5.00 ERA baseball and he's just hangin' in there.

Why do Avery, Veloz, and Gurka make your list? I'd have to say Avery is a non-prospect at this point. Gurka is more a project than a prospect. And Veloz doesn't have the results.

    • I'll be surprised if it's not that trio with either Kremer or Gibson as the 4th starter if the Orioles need one during the playoffs. It's terrible Means was gone for nearly 1.5 years, but the plus side is his arm should be fresh.
    • If the Orioles can't get a good return and Norby doesn't win a job next spring, the odds may go up that he takes over in left in 2025 if the Orioles aren't going to pay both Hays and Mullins, or maybe neither.
    • 4 Ks and missed 6 bats. I missed the game tonight and it looks like he pitched well and he is certainly 3rd in the pecking order right now (which speaks to the staff more than anything) but I don’t have confidence in him vs top offenses if he can’t miss bats and strike guys out.
    • I think Kremer will be in the pen for the playoffs.   I think he can be a weapon out of the bullpen for us this year. Next year I imagine he will pitch in the rotation and continue to improve.  I see this guy pitching in MLB for a long time.  He has the drive and desire to be great.  He improves and adapts as he goes along.     I think they need to try and add and impact starter in the off-seasons and push competition.  I’d like to see two impact relief arms as well.     I’m not in the “the sky is falling” camp right now, but the last few weeks have shown the importance of high quality depth.  You can’t have too much talent. 
    • I bought tickets from the Birdland members presale. My wife and I have a 13-game plan. When it said you could only buy one set of tickets per series, I assumed that meant one pair for the Wild Card Series, one for the ALDS, and one for the ALCS. But I'm seeing people online say that they bought tickets for two games in the ALDS and one for the ALCS. I didn't realize that I could distribute my three games any way I wanted. Now I'm annoyed that I wasted tickets on two series that might not happen at all.
    • The Orioles have one more loss at home than on the road. So I would say about the same. The Rays on the other hand are .663 at home (53-27) vs. .553 on the road (42-34). The Orioles have Bradish and GRod going against the Nationals, at home, after a day off. They should win those games. If they win tomorrow, too, the deed would be nearly done by Wed. Winning tomorrow is not essential, they would be still in good shape with a loss. But it would help to avoid going deep into the week to resolve this.
