Minor error in his write-up having nothing to do with prospects. He says the Orioles lost most of their six free agents. They haven't lost any of them yet, as far as I know. They have O'Day and Wieters on board; and Davis, Chen, Pearce, and Parra all remain unsigned.

He also thought/thinks that Mancini was a Senior Sign. Otherwise, it seems factually correct.

"Baltimore had six key free agents and if it lost most of them."

You missed a word in the sentence.

thought Steve was a member of the BA staff and wrote from there, too?

Hey stranger-Happy Holidays to you and the fam. Glad your Skins won yesterday, big win. The Eagles had a HUGE win yesterday, they seem to be the favorites looking at the records and matchups, but we will see. Good luck. My Broncos lost a heartbreaker, too many drops. Painful to watch.

To the topic at hand, I would have David Hess on this list instead of Wright, but this is a good list, hold to argue with it. Thanks for posting.

Thanks and right back at you.

Looks like the Panthers will have a good shot at the Lombardi trophy.

Back to topic.

Not a bad list, but, like everything, its open to interpretations. :)

Why is Tyler Wilson not on this list? I think he will be a good pitcher for the Orioles. I think he will be better than Mike Wright that's for sure.
Based on what I saw last year' date=' I also think Wilson deserves to be ahead of Wright.[/quote']

Wilson has always been underrated. Prospect status is about 80% ceiling/potential and 20% actual performance. Doesn't have tremendous stuff, 10th round draft pick...but he has performed at every level. I would like to see what we have in him (as well as Gunkel, Miranda, Lee, etc.) but the rotation is crowded with #3/#4 guys. I would be interested to see us bring in Kazmir or Chen (if not Cueto), then trade Tillman or Miguel and open a spot for Wilson and some of these others. At some point we need some of these guys to hold down the 4/5 spots at $500K so that we can get some real talent at the 1/2 spots.

Problem is - other than what you've already pointed out are problems with Wilson - is he's now a 26 year old who's always been a bit over-aged at each level. To me, the fact that he's considered an option as 5th starter shows how uncrowded it is. Most teams would consider a guy like him for their rotation. I think Wright has a better chance long-term, but as a reliever - because he has an out pitch with his fastball.

      Please Brandon Hyde...no more back to back appearances as closer for Kimbrel

      By Roy Firestone · Posted

      He simply doest have the stamina to dominate in back to back appearances, and he'll  be 36 in 3 weeks. I realize thats the LAST thing you want to hear about a closer, but Kiimbrel simply cannot be effective  with a lot of pitches or innings. Id like to see a closer by committee with Kimbrel maybe going twice a week...with 3 or so days in between. Then maybe consider Suarez, Cano, maybe Wells(when hes back) and then Kimbrel. I cant endure any more stress when this guy pitches...its like watching Don Stanhouse load the bases in every save situation and find a way out...And also, lets forget the Orioles need to score more runs to give these guys some room for error...I also say we MUST sit Santander, and maybe Cowser until they can figure out a strategy with coaches and avoid unproductive at bats...and Mullins isn't much better right now...though he's showing signs of breaking out.

      Draft Targets 2 Months Out

      By OsFanInOhio · Posted

      I tend to believe Elias and sig don’t prefer the risk associated with high schoolers to begin with, based on only drafting 4 total in the top 5 rounds over the last 4 or 5 years. They’ve had success with the ones they did take, but of like 25 opportunities, they’ve only taken 4 shots at high schoolers. Hs pitchers even less, as they’ve only taken 1 in the top 5 rounds, and maybe 2 total.     Could they do it? I’m sure. Especially since we are conservative with pitchers and they work really short stints in the low minors, so he wouldn’t be overworked. But I also wonder if chasing the next ohtani is a pipe dream, and that many of these prospects would be better off focusing on one or the other.

      I don't expect much from John Means tonight.

      He’s a very good pitcher, especially when he’s on.…he’s just not reliable.

      And no mention of the pitcher with 18 consecutive scoreless innings!  🙂

      Is the 2024 team better than 2023’s?

      By Philip · Posted

      Oh I think that’s a given, but team quality has much less impact on the playoffs, where a burst of luck can win a series for a team. After 162 games, the best teams will have the best record.

      Albert Suarez 2024

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      I think Suarez will be just fine. He’s been rested since last Sunday. Who knows?  Maybe he comes in and goes 2-3 IP to close out a W. He’s a vet. He’s pitched all over the world. He will be just fine out of the pen. It’s just a matter of how good he can be. We really need him to be in the Cano/Coulombe range.
