This list was published a while ago, but I didn't see a thread on it.   OH ranking in parentheses.

1.  Sisco (3)

2.  Mountcastle (7)

3.  Sedlock (1)

4.  Mancini (11)

5.   Reyes (19)

6.  Akin (4)

7.  Peralta (9)

8.   Cleavinger (13)

9.   Wells (6)

10.  Lee (15)

Quite a different list than OH's.    I think that speaks to having a system with very few sure-fire prospects.    I really can't see how Harvey is not on this list.    The other omissions of top 10 guys from the OH list are more debatable.

Harvey not being on the list is and isn't a surprise. Yes, he has a lot of upside, but I think his injury issues and setbacks so far is what took him out of the Top 10. He could either recover completely and be a top starter in the Orioles rotation, or he could never be the same.

Reyes and Lee in the Top 10 shock me.

Don't get Cleavinger at 8 here or even 13 on OH.  Short reliever who scuffled in high A, and whose velocity is reportedly low 90's with command issues.  His ranking seems to be heavily weighted towards his 3rd round draft status.

Not for me it wasn't. Cleavinger had a tough 2nd half where either something was wrong physically or he was tired because his stuff took a step back. Earlier in the year he was throwing up to the mid 90s and getting a lot of swings and misses from batters. It will be interesting to see see when he throws next year whether his stuff is his first half stiff or 2nd half stuff. If it's his first half stuff he'll be a candidate in Baltimore sometime in 2017.

Nice to see some position players near the top.  

I have doubts that Mancini can be converted to OF, but could either Sisco or Reyes turn into capable RFs?  I know Sisco's arm gets knocked as a catcher, but is that footwork related?  I'd be ecstatic if we have another Jayson Werth on our hands.

It's almost like I covered all of this in the prospect profiles this year. ;)

How much weight should they give 38 games (27 in the field) and 140 AB?

They should go on more than just the small sample size stats and I'm pretty sure they do. It should be part of it, but looking at his skill sets and upside, he should definitely put him in the top ten in this system. But, to each is own.

Surprised not to see any love for Hays. He was well regarded heading into the draft and made a great first impression in Aberdeen. Lee is the one on this list that baffles me. 

I know a lot of people are holding his lack of missing bats last year against him, but he still has some good left handed stuff and seems to have a floor of a left-handed reliever. I think he'll end up a three inning left-handed reliever in the Arthur Rhodes mold. That put him a little lower on my list but there are some that still think he can stay a starter. The lack of K's are a bit of a concern, but I'd rather see a bigger sample size before burying him for not missing bats.

I'm hopeful he can slide over to second.

You'd prefer him over Schoop at 2B? Wouldn't Mountcastle have more value to the team at SS or a corner OF spot if Schoop is still around when he's ready? Granted I don't know how well Mountcastle would do in the OF but most "experts" seem to think he'll end up there.

I'd rather he be a competent second baseman than a competent left fielder.

  1. Higher trade value.
  2. Allows Schoop to move to third if needed.
  3. Eventual replacement for Schoop if needed.

From all I have heard Mountcastle won't be a major league Shortstop.

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      Good point, no other metropolitan area has more than one team.

      Could it be that they allowed the Gnats to reside within 30 minutes of their home. Effectively cutting their market in half?

      41 freaking years and here's this guy with the name pickles telling me I should be happy with 91 wins and getting owned in the playoffs again. 😂 😂 I saw a team that looked terrible the second half and probably didn't even deserve that spot the way they were playing .

      I don’t like the wall. I think it’s affecting our hitters. I’ve mentioned before that I think it has totally warped Mountcastle into something he was never really meant to be. The guy came up as a pull-heavy HR hitter, and in his first season-plus (725 PAs), he puts up 38 HRs and a 116 wRC+. Since then, the wRC+ is down to 110, and his approach has totally changed, with his pull numbers plummeting (down from 39% in 2021 to less than 28% this year). He still hits the ball hard, but constantly underachieves his batted ball data — probably because he’s trying to avoid the pull field and hitting balls to the deepest parts of pretty much every other park. Will the same thing happen to Mayo? Maybe he has more pure power, but it’s always going to be a challenge for a RH slugger to survive with that wall. So much harder to do damage.   Beyond that, I think it’s also creating a serious risk of changing our LH hitters’ approaches too. These guys (Henderson, Holliday, Cowser, 2/3 of Adley) have come up with a reputation for being able to drive the ball to all fields. But how long does that continue when they just can’t hit it out to the opposite field? Our LH hitters had a combined 44 wRC+ at OPACY, and only one HR. They had the 3rd most balls hit to LF at home by LHHs, but the lowest wRC+ of any team on those balls (for the second straight year). The Royals, ironically enough, were the only team that was lower than a 70 wRC+ — that’s how much worse our lefties fared going oppo (at OPACY) than everyone else’s. By player: Gunnar Henderson: 112 wRC+ / .160 ISO (51 PAs) Adley Rutschman: 10 wRC+ / .026 ISO (38 PAs) Anthony Santander: 14 wRC+ / .095 ISO (43 PAs) Colton Cowser: 58 wRC+ / .057 ISO (36 PAs) Ryan O’Hearn: 47 wRC+ / .091 ISO (55 PAs) Cedric Mullins: 23 wRC+ / .100 ISO (41 PAs) Jackson Holliday: -72 wRC+ / .000 ISO (16 PAs)   On the road, they had a combined 126 wRC+ (with 9 HRs) going to left field, so it’s not like they’re bad at it. It’s just Death Valley out there in LF for them at OPACY.  How long will it be until these LH guys just start going full pull-happy? Essentially, the opposite of what’s happened with Mountcastle. When (a) your team’s philosophy is to focus on doing damage and (b) you can’t DO damage to the opposite field — the rational endpoint is just to try to pull everything. I don’t think that’s a good outcome. I think it makes them much worse hitters in the other 81 games, and I think it’s a terrible waste of a bunch of really talented hitters with all-field abilities.
