2024 is the year of the pitcher for the O's. DeLeon is a dude and "chalk" for guesses. Forret can pop. Povich isn't on most (any?) top 100, but he's been fringy for the past year+. He's trending toward a top 50 type. He won't be on lists, but Braxton Bragg has a 14+ k/9 and a 1.69 bb/9. Maybe a BP nugget next year depending on how he’s doing it. Willem is doing things as a C. Beavers has been fringy and has been strong so far. Both probably need a bit more. FCL is too soon to guess... but Almeyda and Liranzo are interesting. Still a top 5 system I think. I don't know other organizations as well, but (a good shot at) 3 top 15 guys carries a lot of weight. Even "losing" Cowser/Ortiz and maybe HK, they are back-filled by good pitchers who weren't really on national radars.

In your opinion what has made Jackson Holliday the number rated prospect in all of MLB? I ask because if you believe in that valuation/talent profile/projection, that is not a player at age 20 who you say he’s only average here so he must go there (where who knows how he’ll be, but oh well on to the next). Mookie Betts is the absolute rarity in his ability to move all over the baseball field and excel. How many other guys have done that and can realistically do that? I would bet very few. I’m not sure if that is the wisest call to make that the standard for anyone, let alone your most prized minor league asset. -

As long you’ve been a fan of the O’s, as impressive as Mayo’s offensive stats are, you have to know that those Minor League numbers do not carry a direct one-to-one correlation to the Bigs. Despite the gaudy numbers, there is no guarantee that he wouldn’t struggle initially with the O’s (like so many other recent prospects have). Is there any downside in allowing him to continue to work on his defense at AAA? Since that appears to be the area of his game that is not “big league ready”? -
So am I reading those suggestions correctly? They think Mountcastle is either worth a Tier One Division One starter... or a Tier 2 Division 2 starter? I vote for the first 😉 -
So... innocently misreading a post is ban-worthy?

Posted this in another thread but a reminder of how Holliday views his leg kick: https://blogs.fangraphs.com/jackson-holliday-talks-hitting/ Now maybe he’s wrong about the leg kick as he faces tougher pitching but I don’t see him dropping it anytime soon. I also don’t recall anyone being worried about it before.
