Nothing wrong with getting more depth. Shocked I haven't seen any posts yet about this being the best AAA team of all time. Guess they aren't jinxing themselves again. Minus the sarcasm, they do have a hell of a staff.

Gausman

Wright

Berry

Wilson

Davies

Webb

Drake

Gamboa

Stevie

Macfarland

Bowden

Norfolk may have a better pitching staff than the Texas Rangers. :P

According to a post from Steve Melewski from earlier today, Berry is slated to start in Bowie, with Wright, Davies, Wilson and Gamboa in Norfolk's rotation.

But, I'm not sure if McFarland or Drake will get the fifth spot. And, if Gausman gets optioned, two of the previously mentioned players will be headed to the pen.

Drake is not a starter.

Yeah, it's good to hear you say that. How long have we waited for a solid AAA team... with a superb rotation? I wouldn't be surprised if three (maybe even more) of them made MLB contributions before leaving the game... A tribute to the whole organization.

It's good to be an Orioles fan right now.

I sure am glad the O's didn't let Duquette go to Toronto. Imagine how good that team would be if he was up there signing players who most likely will never set foot inside a major league dugout.

      Sorry to derail the thread. I was having a crap day yesterday when I took it out here. I appreciate the words of support.

      I like this idea.  Maybe he's not ALWAYS the closer, but he has the stuff to be a very good high-leverage guy.

      2023 Top 75 Prospects

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      Bucce is one of those guys that finally hit a little bit last year, but didn't get a ton of playing time overall and 20Ks in just 74 PA gives me pause when it doesn't come with any real power. He'll have to make Delmarva next year and we'll see how he does. Anderson DeLos Santos is still a bit interesting and I actually wrote up a quick bio for him before I knocked him off the list: Only 19-years old last season at Delmarva, Del Los Santos didn’t put up all that impressive of numbers including a 104-31 K-BB ratio in 421 PAs. But he has a little pop in the bat and although he made a few too many errors, shows some athleticism at 3B. Probably will need to repeat Delmarva next year at 20-years old but has some tools to work from and worth keeping an eye on. Same thing with Heid: Put up good numbers at AA holding batters to a .185/.280/.265/.545 slash line mostly at Aberdeen. Got a late season callup to Bowie but at 25 years old, he's long in the tooth for a prospect. He's a 91-93 MPH guy with so decent carry and his slider flashes average on occasion wit good depth. The stuff just doesn't suggest he's going to have success at the major league level though. I also did Kade Strowd who got bumped at the end. Kade Strowd: Fastball slider pitcher that sat 94-96 but who can flash 97-98 on occasion. The slider has high spin and late break and can give minor league right-handed hitters fits, but he doesn't have much to defend himself against lefties and his command wavers too often. As for Heid, the stats say he's worth watching, but the age and stuff go "eh". Can't rule him out, but I didn't see anything that suggested major league stuff.

      Robertson on a 1yr/10mil deal seems about the most we can afford. If that’s all we have to spend then I hope we trade for Quintana and put Wells at closer.

      Elias has said he would like someone with closers experience. Not really sure why that matters. I also think they only want a one year option at closer. I get that they expressed interest in Hader, if that’s true, but that really means nothing with this team.

      He’s a possibility as well.

      Why not Neris on the list?
