Hangouters 2013 Top-30 prospect lists


Tony-OH

Recommended Posts

Well, we're almost ready to start putting out our top 30 prospect list. The order is done, but now we need to start the write ups. We hope to start the countdown from ten to one on Monday, November 4th.

So here's your chance to give out your top 30 list and see how it compares to our list. As always, we won't comment too much on the list so not to give away our order, but we may give out some clues here and there.

BTW, Gausman is still eligible for the list as he did not exhaust his rookie status according to the Orioles.

1- Dylan Bundy

2- Kevin Gausman

3- Hunter Harvey

4- Eduardo Rodriguez

5- Jonathan Schoop

6- Michael Ohlman

7- Mike Wright

8- Zach Davies

9- Chance Sisco

10- Dariel Alvarez

Thats all I am going to do right now because the rest is so interchangeable, however, while not being a highly regarded system in regards to the national media, I really do like our top 10. IMO Rodriguez has slightly separated himself from Schoop as the better prospect due to a combination of age/projection and "now" stuff or skill. Almost inclined to put Ohlman ahead of Schoop although I am sure most outlets will disagree. As has been the issue over the last few years, we lack depth, but we have quite a few high ceiling prospects, especially arms.

This is one of those catch-22 things. Really cool to see the prospects and what we have in the system.

But, when we go back and revisited them, like the 2008 list, then it's kinda of depressing to see how so few turned out.

Hopefully, with a better plan in place now, in 2018, we can go back five years and see several names on this list on the parent club and producing.

Hindsight is of course always 20/20, but that system from 08 if I recall was pretty highly regarded, but one of the glaring differences between now and then is that we currently have 3 pitchers with true #1 potential in our top 5. I don't think you could have said that back in 08.

You can do that with just about any list for just about any team. It's just the nature of the business. Most of these guys will not make it.

My 10, though I'm guessing Tony will target a higher upside guy for #10.

1. Bundy

2. Gausman

3. Harvey

4. Rodriguez

5. Schoop

6. Ohlman

7. Sisco

8. Wright

9. Urrutia

10. Walker

I'm guessing most will have Wright at 6 or 7. If he sticks as a #4-ish starter, that makes sense. As a good bullpen arm, he gets a slight ding from me. I could have made a place for Hart or Marin, but I think they're 11-15 guys, for me at least...plus I still like Walker's bat.

Harvey behind EdRod because of proximity to the Major's? Or do you think EdRod has a higher ceiling? Just curious.

Proximity mostly. I don't know that Harvey's ceiling is much higher, if higher at all, than EdRod. I may value likelihood over ceiling more than most people.

Great thread, Tony, I wait for this each year with great anticipation. Well, this year I've gotten even more into it. I have now visited each minor league affiliate with the exception of the two DSL teams. I've seen almost every player on my list in person and have combined this with the statistical approach I use. In my opinion, we have quite a few interesting pitchers and very few hitters. Here's my list:

1. Gausman

2. D. Bundy

3. E. Rodriguez

4. Schoop

5. Harvey

6. Wright

7. Davies

8. Ohlman

9. Sisco

10. Urrutia

11. Walker

12. Wilson

13. Rennie

14. Vader

15. D. Jones

16. Marin

17. Stinson

18. Kline

19. Drake

20. Horacek

21. Parry

22. Mancini

23. Tarpley

24. B. Bundy

25. Alvarez

26. Bridwell

27. Alvarado

28. Moreno

29. Brault

30. Floranus

Just missed: J. Hart, G. Davis, Howard, Bierfeldt, Berry

Thanks. Well, like oldorioles said we are pitching heavy, but that is not necessarily a bad thing. Really enjoy getting everyone's take on our top 30.

It really is amazing how hard it is to be one of the 700 best at any thing in the world.

Ceiling for Harvey is a true #1, I think EdRod is more of a mid rotation starter. Harvey has the better FB with more in the tank at a much younger age. From my understanding, Harvey has the better (main)secondary offering with the chance to improve it. I don't think there is much of an argument to be made as far as their ceilings even being remotely close, but the argument would be floor, track record, and proximity to the majors being weighted heavier on a prospect list.

    • Got my all-time low rarity score on today's game - 6.
    • 41 freaking years and here's this guy with the name pickles telling me I should be happy with 91 wins and getting owned in the playoffs again. 😂 😂 I saw a team that looked terrible the second half and probably didn't even deserve that spot the way they were playing .
    • Lol. Here's the funny they know more then you know. Typical Oriole fan who's happy with getting punched in the mouth. 
    • I don’t like the wall. I think it’s affecting our hitters. I’ve mentioned before that I think it has totally warped Mountcastle into something he was never really meant to be. The guy came up as a pull-heavy HR hitter, and in his first season-plus (725 PAs), he puts up 38 HRs and a 116 wRC+. Since then, the wRC+ is down to 110, and his approach has totally changed, with his pull numbers plummeting (down from 39% in 2021 to less than 28% this year). He still hits the ball hard, but constantly underachieves his batted ball data — probably because he’s trying to avoid the pull field and hitting balls to the deepest parts of pretty much every other park. Will the same thing happen to Mayo? Maybe he has more pure power, but it’s always going to be a challenge for a RH slugger to survive with that wall. So much harder to do damage.   Beyond that, I think it’s also creating a serious risk of changing our LH hitters’ approaches too. These guys (Henderson, Holliday, Cowser, 2/3 of Adley) have come up with a reputation for being able to drive the ball to all fields. But how long does that continue when they just can’t hit it out to the opposite field? Our LH hitters had a combined 44 wRC+ at OPACY, and only one HR. They had the 3rd most balls hit to LF at home by LHHs, but the lowest wRC+ of any team on those balls (for the second straight year). The Royals, ironically enough, were the only team that was lower than a 70 wRC+ — that’s how much worse our lefties fared going oppo (at OPACY) than everyone else’s. By player: Gunnar Henderson: 112 wRC+ / .160 ISO (51 PAs) Adley Rutschman: 10 wRC+ / .026 ISO (38 PAs) Anthony Santander: 14 wRC+ / .095 ISO (43 PAs) Colton Cowser: 58 wRC+ / .057 ISO (36 PAs) Ryan O’Hearn: 47 wRC+ / .091 ISO (55 PAs) Cedric Mullins: 23 wRC+ / .100 ISO (41 PAs) Jackson Holliday: -72 wRC+ / .000 ISO (16 PAs)   On the road, they had a combined 126 wRC+ (with 9 HRs) going to left field, so it’s not like they’re bad at it. It’s just Death Valley out there in LF for them at OPACY.  How long will it be until these LH guys just start going full pull-happy? Essentially, the opposite of what’s happened with Mountcastle. When (a) your team’s philosophy is to focus on doing damage and (b) you can’t DO damage to the opposite field — the rational endpoint is just to try to pull everything. I don’t think that’s a good outcome. I think it makes them much worse hitters in the other 81 games, and I think it’s a terrible waste of a bunch of really talented hitters with all-field abilities.
    • Which core players beside Adley Rutschman struggled?
    • The entire commentary on Hyde and the team seems odd but have to admit there does seem to be something off.   Team seemed adrift for most of the 2nd half.  A very talented team went off the rails midway through the season mostly due to core players struggling and rookies not performing or filling in adequately for a few injured starters.    None of the position player trade line acquisitions performed that well.     Hyde seemed in over his head or at a loss on how to correct things, but he must have convinced Elias that he has a plan to fix things.  Curious to see what happens with the coaching staff.
