I like Hader, but he has to come after Urrutia for me.

Yeah, even if you value potential over likelihood, Urrutia should be higher. There are enough concerns with Hader to put him below Henry.

My list:

1. Gausman

2. Bundy

3. Schoop

4. EdRod

5. Delmonico

6. Urrutia

7. Harvey

8. Hader

9. Walker

10. Wright

11. Hart

12. Hoes

13. Ohlman

14. Marin

15. Wilson

16. Sisco

17. Jones

18. Davies

19. Gurka

20. Tarpley

It's a total guess in slotting the recent draftees. Hopefully, these guys get signed quickly and we get a better idea of their potential. Also, would be great to find another Hader in this class.

Caleb Joseph deserves to be up there somewhere despite his age. I dont know where he is at defensively, but he seems like he could be the future backup Catcher. Which i think has a lot of value when u see Teagarden hit. Id honestly rather have a pitcher hit instead of that bum.

Seen some reports of people who are really high on him. He also had a great last outing where he said he had just started throwing a changeup and had really good success with it in that game. Wishful thinking maybe off of that last start.

Fair enough. Hope he's able to get back and log some innings this year.

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.

Avery is still a player who is 23 years old playing in AAA. He may only have a ceiling of bench player at this point, but he still has a lot of time to be considered completely washed out. It's not as though I put him real high up there on my list.

Veloz: the dude was 18 and OPS'd .744 between the GCL and Aberdeen last year. The average OPS at that level is .656. The kid got paid well and played well, though he strikes out a bit. He's a projectable player.

Gurka: Sorry man, if Stuart Pomeranz was considered a prospect last season then there's no reason why this guy doesn't deserve the recognition for what he's accomplished this year.

I'll give it a shot:

1. Gausman, but only because of Bundy's injury.

2. Bundy

3. Schoop

4. Harvey

5. Delmonico (needs some positional value for me to rank higher)

6. ERod (torn at 5/6 here)

7. Urrutia (we might find out he should be #3 over time)

8. Hader

9. Walker

10. Hart

11. Sisco

12. Tarpley (some desire to move him to 10 based on Tony's who I'd rather have method, but the other two were picked higher)

13. Marin

14. Hoes

15. Hobgood

16. Wright

17. Ohlman

18. Davies

19. Steve Johnson

20. Heim

      Jordan Westburg 2024

      By Flash- bd · Posted

      Yeah, basically this, that Westburg's underlying numbers (EV, barrel %, xwOBA) seem to point at this being pretty real, or at least that there's nothing 'undeserved / lucky' about this hot streak, if it's just that.

      The problem with a Cowser/Kjerstad/Stowers/Bradfield outfield roster is there are no right handers to handle LHP. I don't think and completely left handed outfield is the destination for an organization the values versatility.

      Looks maybe concussion related.

      How can you not be romantic about baseball? This seems slightly poetic. I enjoyed reading, and correlated your experience in the stands back to what I watch in Game 1 on MASN.  It was also pretty cool to hear Jim Palmer give you a shout out in Game 2 of the series on Live TV.

      Gunnar Henderson 2024

      By baltfan · Posted

      I am not worried.  It just doesn’t remotely meet the eye test.  He has been great in the field . I can think of at least 3 outstanding plays he has made and not any that I thought he should have gotten but didn’t. Meanwhile Holliday is 3 OAA and I can’t think of an outstanding play and can think of a number I thought he should have made.

      Nicely stated Roy. Every since I was 9 years old and saw the O's vs. the Tokyo Giants in Tokyo in 1971, I've been infected with the Orange/Black virus. There is no cure and I don't want one. You and I sat at the lunch table with Jim Palmer at the 1970 World Series Champs reunion, and its still one of my enduring baseball memories. You said I looked like Carlton Fisk! I was at all 3 games in this Angels series, right behind the O's dugout. I got to see all our boys, and just simply love to watch this team play. And in true baseball fashion, the one game on paper we should have dominated (GRod vs. 8+ ERA Channing), we end up down 7-0 and lose. But watching Gunnar's homers, his electric triple, and he made a fantastic play today on a ball that went under Westburg's glove, Adley do Adley things, Cowser, holy crap. Kimbrel v. Trout with bases loaded, bottom of 9th, 2 outs, down by 2? That was fun. Next game Trout bats leadoff and torches a GRod fastball for a homer to the opposite field.  An observation.... If you didn't know anything about the team, and you only watched game 1 batting practice, you'd think Cowser and O'Hearn were the studs of the team. Mountcastle was taking BP with the reserves and he put on a show as well.  Home after 3 straight days watching this O's team, so jealous of the Balt fans in Balt that get to see the team with regularity. It's a special bunch.
