Very interesting how different fangraph's rankings are than others.  Diaz is no surprise at 3 but Cumberland at 7 was surprising to me.

Yeah, they loooooove Cumberland. I believe Sickels or someone else had him as a top 150 guy coming into the season too.

Just going to assume our FO has him in FG/Sickels realm more than MLB.com.

So here's what really disappoints me about all of this.

We traded Machado, Britton, Gausman, Schoop (and to a lesser extent O'Day and Brach) and we didn't net a single prospect that prior to the start of the season ranked inside any of those clubs' top 6. Am I forgetting? 

(Maybe my wording sucked: within the top 5?)

When we traded for Andy Miller, does anyone know where EROD was ranked in our prospect list?

What about when we traded for Bud Norris? Where was LJ Hoes and Hader ranked?

Gotcha. Thanks for the quick write-up.

Looking forward to your thoughts on Zimmerman. Looks like a guy who fell through the cracks, ATL scooped up, and they were reaping the benefits as he's showing this year so far (signed him for dirt cheap after they drafted him last year, stuff is a tick up this year from what he was, etc.).

Phillips looks like a solid RP for us down the road. 

At least that's my outlook on the two arms.

He was dirt cheap because he was a senior sign.

I'm looking forward to watching video.

Believe Erod was like 4 or 5. Hader blew up after we traded him. Davies had to be in our top five, right?

That's another thing that bugs about these trades today: DD gave up more quality for Gerardo freaking Parra and Bud Norris than we got for Schoop and Gausman.

Oops, Villar is just a MLB roster fill-in with some upside, is pretty solid defensively at 2B. A rebuilding team needs guys like that and he had a good season in 2016, it's possibly he is a solid contributor for the next two years. 

Luke-OH, if you had to choose a SS: Villar or Beckham ??

Fangraphs prospect rankings significantly differ from almost everyone else.  Unfortunately, they also haven’t been that impressive

It's long, needs some work on the load portion, raw bat speed is there and looks like he gets good natural loft. He's quite raw but the tools are there, risk/reward guy. 

Strine  zone judgment was awful in those videos.  Not sure you can teach that

With his K/BB numbers I'm sure his strike zone judgement is poor, but he's young and the late hand load makes it tricky to let the ball travel, and letting the ball travel is the key to strike zone recognition.

      9/26: A Weak Effort In New York

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      I was at a meeting and came out to the Orioles down 1-0. I looked away for what seemed like a minute and it was 5-0, then 7-0. Do we know why Burnes was lifted after just 69 pitches after 5 innings? Was he hurt? Do we know why Cano was brought into the game in the 6th (Have to imagine his adrenaline may not have been as flowing at that stage of the game)?  Obviously the bullpen was pretty horrific last night, but could some of this be because Hyde was using guys who typically are late in game relievers in the 6th inning?

      Is there a 5th O's #1 Prospect?

      By OriolesUpAndDowns · Posted

      Good point on the age.  I think it would have to be someone like Nate George from this year's draft just blowing up next year. The story would be how everyone missed on him because he played in a cold weather state.

      First, Schmidt is having a better year than Cole. Second, the O's teed off Ragans and Lugo last time they faced them.

      Elias needs to use better judgement when he dumpster dives, prepare better for the high percentage chance that his dumpster diving pickups will fail, and increase usage of other means to get pieces. Bullpen usage is another problem, but it’s hard to effectively juggle flaming torches. A wrong move burns badly

      DH - O'Hearn v. Kjerstad

      By e16bball · Posted

      I can see the case for Mountcastle based on defense alone, but what has Kjerstad done to warrant that kind of treatment? Is it the .505 OPS he’s put up since coming back? The overall .438 ML OPS since getting hit in the head? I’m as bummed as anyone that his season got derailed, but if you’re talking about where they are right now — he’s not your huckleberry. As for O’Hearn, he’s 8 for his last 23 (.348), with 3 doubles. That feels a little like the “getting himself together” that you referenced. He had an awful month-long slump, but he also has an extended track record (over 1.5 seasons) of excelling in the role he’s now back in, as the platoon LH 1B/DH guy. He had a 125 wRC+ in those 750 PAs as an Oriole until 8/20, which is roughly when Mountcastle went out.  I’d be good with Kjerstad DHing against LH starters, because there’s good reason to think he hits them better than O’Hearn. And if they want to play both O’Hearn and Kjerstad against some RHPs, in order to set up the potential of Mountcastle coming in to PH against a lefty reliever, I’m down for that too. But the primary alignment is going to (and should) be the Mountcastle/O’Hearn duo we’ve gotten accustomed to seeing.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By Moose Milligan · Posted

      The Achilles heel for this team is going to be the unit that doesn't step up in the postseason. I can easily see scenarios where: the bullpen is hot and provides good performances but the offense sputters and isn't clutch the offense comes up big but the bullpen blows games late starting pitching tosses some clunkers (not really likely with Burnes and Eflin) and they can't recover the defense sucks and gives opponents extra outs to work with, blowing games open when the bullpen or SP would have been able to escape and continue We've seen all of these units falter at one point or another during this season.  We've also seen all of these units perform very well at different times throughout the season.  So, we'll see what turns out to be the Achilles heel for the Orioles in the playoffs starting next week.
