The following players made their major league debuts with the Orioles in 2017-18 and are still with the club.    Who could you see being part of the next winning Orioles team?    In chronological order by date of debut:

2017

Jimmy Yacabonis 

Anthony Santander 

Chance Sisco 

Austin Hays

Tanner Scott  

2018

Pedro Araujo

Engelb Vielma

David Hess

Austin Wynns 

Yefry Ramírez 

Steve Wilkerson

Ryan Meisinger

Paul Fry

Cody Carroll

Cedric Mullins

Josh Rogers 

Luis Ortiz

DJ Stewart 

There are four other players who debuted with the Orioles but are out of the organization now — Stephen Crichton, Richard Rodriguez, and David Washington in 2017, and Nestor Cortes in 2018.

Austin Hays- I think he is at least an every day player and I believe he has a good chance at RF

Tanner Scott - future setup or closer

David Hess - 4th or 5th starter

Austin Wynns - backup catcher

Steve Wilkerson- utility IF

Paul Fry- middle relief

Cedric Mullins - will move to LF

DJ Stewart- DH & back corner OF

Good list.

I can also see Yacabonis being that "swingman/emergency starter" role.

Yacobonis and Hess could both benefit from working after an "opener" faces the first six batters, leaving them to come into a game facing the back of the lineup and pitching four or five innings.

I thought he was the future in CF?

    • I really hope the Ravens win this one. I hate all Washington teams and always root for them to lose but especially if they are playing Baltimore teams 
    • I really don’t see the point of trading Mullins, or even Mountcastle for a reliever. We need Mullins definitely, especially with Santander being a FA.  What good is a reliever if you can’t get a lead?  I just don’t like trading everyday players for relievers, especially when we have a good looking pen next year pre deadline, and what reliever would Mounty/Mullins even buy. Would that reliever even be an upgrade over what we already have? At this point, I’m thinking Mounty goes for some sort of RHH COF. 
    • We couldn’t have asked for more from the Eflin deal than what we got. 9 starts that kept the rotation afloat to even make the playoffs. Then a “good” playoff start in an elimination game where we had the luxury of going to the pen fast.  It’s always tough giving up prospects, but Eflin did exactly what we needed him to do post deadline.   
    • There should be one philosophy, and that's what the O's claimed to have. There's just a lot more work to coaching 13 hitters (plus callups) than one person can do. Going through video, coordinating with the data folks, developing a plan, all that stuff. Only so many hours in the day.
    • I have no idea why any team would want more than 1 philosophy across the board, especially a young team. Possibly a player's demands or contract calls for his own hitting coach.. but I stand by my wish.
    • At cost considerations there is 2 players i'd rather have listed in that article over Crochet, Helsley leading that. Also Mountcastle to the Reds for a SP makes a lot of sense also. 
    • Guilty. I'm working to be intentional to enjoy the day to day of a lot of exciting careers beginning, and not miss the moment as during say Peyton Manning's career in a different chapter of life when assured 14-2 or 13-3 seasons were four months of boredom while you waited to see what the playoff stumble would be this time.    SIGBOT's stuff works in the regular season same as Billy Beane's didn't in the playoffs. I don't follow Over/Unders, but would guess the 2025 Orioles are 1st or 2nd in the AL on early action.    My informal AL power rankings end of 2024: 1. A nonexistent Orioles team with a functional Adley Rutschman 2. Yankees with Soto 3. Tie between actual Orioles with broken Adley and end stage Astros that lost several series to hot Central teams 4. Yankees without Soto 5. Central I'm cheating Cleveland there for a joke, and hope they win, which they are plenty capable of doing.    It is an interesting matchup for the stuff the two teams are good at being very different.
