Is David Hess a legit prospect for the Orioles? He had a 1.34 ERA over his last 12 starts at high-A, and then was lights out in the Eastern League playoffs after being promoted.

Kiley McDaniel: 93-96 with avg offspeed last year and early this year, velo down a tick late in the season (nothing to worry about) but other secondary stuff was a little sharper. Moving up the list and getting near that MLB discussion.

ETA on Chance Sisco? He held his own at AA after a mid-year promotion and will likely start there next year. Any chance of seeing him in the majors in 2016? Will he stick at C?

Kiley McDaniel: Chance for late next year, but catchers always take longer to develop, more weird stuff goes wrong and there?s more to learn at the upper levels than other positions. I know Wieters likes the kid and BAL thinks he can stick, but other teams are more dubious. Tools are there and may be a situation where if his framing is a separator (can?t really know until he?s in the bigs) you put up with some other stuff that is just okay. The bat is for real, though, so he?ll find a spot eventually. If Wieters doesn?t return, he?s the guy they will be looking to and sooner than later.

Oh and that pun was not intended.

Comment From Mike

Is Jomar Reyes a top-100 prospect for you? When he wasn?t hurt he handled full-season ball pretty well for an 18-year old.

Kiley McDaniel: He right around #100. Can?t know for sure until I line everyone up like 6 months from now, but there?s still some shades of Miguel Sano here, which gets some people really excited about Reyes.
