I know Liz, Arrieta, and Spoone our are top pitching prospects (with Olson and Beato as well), but do Tillman and Patton automatically become our best pitching prospects?

I would say:

1) Tillman

2) Patton

3) Liz

4) Spoone

5) Penn

6) Arrieta

7) Olson

8) Erbe

9) Bascom

10) Butler

11) Beato

I'm going to look over things but it's going to be close. Off hand, I think I would go with:

1) Tillman

2) Spoone

3) Liz

4) Patton

I put DHernandez in Bascom spot. As I believe most publication has him ahead of Bascom with the exception of Top Prospect.

I think it is hard to judge Bascom against Hernandez. I know Hernandez has pitched in High A ball, but I think Bascom has a decent ceiling. I almost think he is more of a sure thing to make the MLs than DH, but who knows.

No matter how you rank these pitchers, you have to take a step back and look at the list and recognize we now have true organizational depth as far as pitchers go.

If 5 of those 11 pitchers listed make it to the bigs, whether it's as a starter or reliever, I'll be very impressed by what the Orioles accomplished as far as building a farm system that can supply the mothership.

If we are talking about ceilings. Penn's stuff is overlooked because of the injuries. But if he is healthy his stuff is right up there IMO.

People are probably going to think I'm crazy, but as far as ceilings go, I think Liz and Penn are interchangeable.

I really, really, really, really, really hope we don't give up on Penn too soon.

At this point I have to ask: ARE you DHernandez, or a relative, or do you know him personally? Because it seems like 90% of your posts are advocating for him.

He just happens to be my favorite player and I'm just trying to give him props that no one else does. Also is that against board rules???

It doesn't matter anyway because after this season he will turn alot of heads!!!

Not against board rules - and I don't think Frobby implied that it was. It's just that this is the only thing you ever seem to post on. It's odd.

And it's certainly not true that no one gives him props. We just don't overlook his flaws and hype his accomplishments in the same disproportionate manner you do. I'm sure he's glad to have an advocate, though.

And it's great to see someone so enthusiastic, I guess.

I don't chime in here much... but was thinking of a new thread...

The Hangout Staff has a WHOLE LOT of re-evaluating to do on our prospect list. Good times! :P

I might wait another week or two before revising anything. You may just have to figure out where Veal and Gallagher should go on these lists.:)

      Thank you. I knew there was something bogus about that post. I saw Cal play SS. And Gunnar is no Cal at SS. Not even close. And this is coming from a big fan of Gunnar. I would like to see him play a traditional power position. Call me old fashioned. He’s hurting the team at SS.

      Interesting.  We live in a data obsessed world now but it's not the answer to everything.  There should be a mix.

      I doubt solid MLB pitchers can be acquired just by trading position players the vast majority of the time.  Look at how we acquired Bradish and Povich -- by trading solid (at the time anyway) MLB level pitchers.  In those trades we were on the other end, but we forced teams to trade good young pitchers for Bundy and Lopez respectively.  Now we did acquire McDermott and Seth Johnson by trading Trey Mancini.  So it does happen that pitching can sometimes be acquired trading only a position player, but Mancini had had a strong major league career to that point.  My point is I don't think you can expect to acquire pitching only by trading position players -- but if you can it may need to be a strong veteran that is not easy to part with. Perhaps we could acquire Tarik Skubal for just Jackson Holliday -- or Holliday plus one or two other strong position prospects.  But that would be a whole other level of a blockbuster trade. Also, I'm not sure how we can say the system is bereft of homegrown minor league pitching talent and then complain that we traded Baumeister and Chace -- two homegrown minor league pitchers that everyone here seems to agree are talented.  We can criticize the trade, but clearly there was and probably still are some desirable arms in the system that we'd rather not trade.  No, none of the ones Elias drafted have made it to the bigs yet, but maybe those two would have been among the first.

      Seth Johnson on the Phillies' "philosophy": Orioles are data driven, Phillies are more "old school". I don't get much out of this but it's a data point. https://www.nbcsportsphiladelphia.com/mlb/philadelphia-phillies/seth-johnson-mlb-debut-phillies-orioles-trade/613582/ “I think the big thing is that Baltimore is very data-based,” he said. “Here’s a nice blend of the numbers and baseball strategy. Kind of old school. And I’ve been really enjoying it so far. For me, it’s kind of simplified everything. Concentrating on basic concepts like moving the fastball around. Not worrying about pitch shapes all the time. Just going out here and trying to pitch.”

      If we have room, why wouldn't we add Pham and Van Loon just to have available depth in AAA (whether or not they are at risk of being taken)?

      I think Young will be added, and that is it. I like Pham, but no AAA experience makes him unlikely to be taken. Whatever open spots should be used to upgrade the bullpen and other pitching depth. It is well documented here that we don’t have much beyond raw guys like Strowd and Heid. we lack flexibility and options. This has to change.
