Can’t wait for the 2019 list to come out!     I’m guessing, based on last year, that we have to wait until November.     

I think you can argue that the top 8 pretty much held serve.    I assume Baumann will show up in that group, and obviously Rutschman at no. 1.    That should be your top 10 IMO.

I think only Kline, Stewart and Means (ranked 28!) have graduated, and there’s a lot of new players deserving of consideration, so I expect a lot of movement below the top 10.

Harvey and Stewart have also graduated, I assume. Methinks Dietz, Carroll, and Grenier will plummet (I know I’m really going out on a limb here).

All 30 prospects are complete now. A few profiles will need to be updated by tonight, but for the most part they are finished. Thanks to Luke Siler for his support in the process and for writing some

It's that time of year once again where we give you an in-depth view of the Orioles system. We will be doing our top 30 once again, but this year we will give you a new grading system so you can quick

I already mentioned Stewart.    I do not believe Harvey has graduated.

You don't have Gunnar in your top 10?

Harvey definitely has not graduated.

Pitchers exceed rookie eligibility with 50 innings or 45 days on the active roster excluding the period of roster expansion following September 1st.

Harvey pitched 6 and a third innings and was called up in mid-August, accruing around 15 days prior to September 1st.

The biggest jump into the top 30 has to be Stauffer, right? Probably close to top 15 now?

1 Rutschman
2 DL Hall
3 Hays
4 Mouncastle
5 Rodriguez
6 Henderson
7 Kremer
8 Harvey
9 Diaz
10 Baumann

I like Stauffer and have been a big proponent, but he’s only that high if he’s a starter and we don’t know that yet. He was 91-94 t95 in short outings but he needs to hold that over 100 pitches if he’s going to profile in a rotation and he hasn’t shown that yet, there was a lot of 88-90 in longer outings. He’s more around 30 for me at this point with potential to rise further.

I am very excited for it.

I don't think I would. It's not a knock on him. It's just that he's a very young kid who has done nothing really noteworthy yet and he's being compared to guys who have high probability to be in the majors.

Your placement of Rodriguez, Diaz and Baumann is interesting, to say the least. I think most have Rodriguez as top 2 or 3 (latter for me). I assume this means you're a huge fan of Hays and Mountcastle. There will be disagreement on Diaz (mostly from me), but he's 4 or 5 for me. You can make the case for Baumann anywhere from as high as 5 or more likely 7 or 8, IMO.

Deepest list I can remember.

I mean, nobody ever gets these things right, so I am probably wrong.

4. Hays

5. Diaz

6. Mountcastle

7. Kremer

8. Harvey

9. Henderson

10. Lowther

      Umpire Scorecard Thread

      By ShoelesJoe · Posted

      This is the kind of game where Umpire Scorecards really drops the ball. You have an umpire who clearly can't see pitches below the zone calling a game where one of the pitchers is a sinkerballer who lives below the zone. Once he calls that outrageous strike on Henderson in the first inning every Oriole batter knows they have to swing at anything down that doesn't bounce in front of the plate. The umpire's incompetence goes beyond a handful of terrible calls to changing the entire approach for every batter on a particular team.

      This is what I was expecting and hoping for at the beginning of the year, but then Mountcastle started hot and here we are.

      He may be a lost cause, but they don’t know that for sure yet.  They’ll continue to try to nurse him along for at least several more weeks.

      I don't think Kimbrel is getting DFA'd.  On the contrary, I expect they are working with him to help resolve the issues he's been having.  Easier said than done, but he's not a lost cause, as yet.

      Ryan Mountcastle 2024

      I was working spring training and summer league for the Orioles at the time and the unfounded and uniformed speculation about his work habits and personality traits could not have been further from the truth. Buck's  quote:  “I said, ‘I noticed last year the whole season you walked 17 times. What was that all about?’” Showalter said. “He starts laughing and I said, ‘Understand, it’s not funny. This won’t work.’ Buck was right in his assessment but the public statement and the twisting of that comment while the Orioles were moving him all over the diamond was wrong-he was a 20/21 year old kid intimidated by an older established manager-that was why he laughed. In my personal experience he was a humble, very likeable, hard working kid and the Buck/Duquette were out of touch with younger players.  The summer league coaching by washed up guys like Milt May was a joke compared to the support the other teams recieved.
