I can see Hall rating higher on a list for Fantasy players than he does on a conventional list.

I honestly love that he rated Hall higher, not because I necessarily agree or disagree, but because he did it based on projection. He decided there were tools to really like and decided to plant his flag on that player. That's fine, but I thought he was inconsistent in doing so for others, most notably Baumann and Harvey. It was kind of notable to me that he had Elio Prado (of the Cashner trade) at 17. I guess that means at least one person is hearing good things about the kid.

Also kind of funny to me that he didn't mention Hernaiz. Kind of a little bit of a tell that his knowledge of the org is a bit shallow, IMO.

I couldn’t tell how much the author was slanting his list to favor the guys who perform well in overweighted fantasy categories like stolen bases.

The only disclosure that he could be doing so is in his sentence saying this is "for dynasty leagues." 

I hate to be so critical. He probably has to do this for 32 orgs. I can only imagine how hard that must be, particularly when you get past the top 5-10 prospects, so I think he's doing a fine job all things considered. It's just littered by old or uncontextualized (Harvey, Diaz, Kremer) information, IMO.

Can anything be done to fix the links in the OP?     Many of them no longer link to last year’s scouting reports on the players.    I like to look at the old reports and compare them to the new ones to see how the player has progressed (or not).    

@sbauer Can you look into this? Same thing seems to be happening for most links. they all seem to go to https://www.orioleshangout.com/2017/02/09/welinton-castillo-play-wbc/

    • What do you mean starting for Slater? He is not a starter. The Ragans matchup makes things interesting because he has reverse splits. I don't know the numbers but they need to start the guys with good numbers vs Ragans and/or LHP changeups, whether they are LH or RH.
    • Perhaps. I'm just saying he could stop the Chiefs, the Raiders disaster, and the Cowboys debacle certainly gave me pause.  Last night they certainly looked better, but the first 3 games gave me pause. I think we'll know more after a full season.
    • 1. If the Orioles had signed Jack Flaherty, Seth Lugo and Chris Sale to bolster our pitching staff last off-season, this place would have gone ballistic, and not in a good way. 2.  The Orioles ended the regular season last year flat as a pancake, and it carried into the offseason.  This year, while under the pressure of trying to keep up with the Yankees, the team struggled mightily to find consistent offense and any overall consistency.  Once that pressure waned with us knowing our destiny, guys seemed to loosen up, and we saw the offense come back.  I thought that might happen.  However, my question is, after laying an egg in the playoffs last year and recent struggles despite the last two series, does the pressure of the postseason put us back in the funk we saw throughout most of August and September? 3.  I've seen a consistent theme in this forum over the past week or two which is this:  "All we have to do is get hot at the right time, like Texas did last year."  While I agree that's true, and want us to be that team this year, isn't that statement kind of an admission that without getting hot, we're not good enough on our own merits to persevere in the tournament?  And before I get crucified for saying that, I'll point to what everyone has witnessed in recent months:  Bad/inconsistent bullpen, inconsistent offense, questions about our starting pitching, defensive lapses and being prone to not showing up offensively.  And please, let's not act like some, or all of these, don't exist.   That all being said, Go O's!!!!!  Let's get hot!!
    • All of the October ones will.    Tomorrow good chance to be the least important one if things go any kind of good. Granted ~40% chance it is the only one, but that is short series baseball, not him. I won't have warm feelings if he handles these guys but is bad twice the next series.
    • Would be upsetting to start Slater in any playoff game at this point. Even if you think Mullins/Cowser cant hit LHP (news flash Slater cant either)- keep the defense and the guys who "got you there"
    • If the point was "Skubal is better" you kind of proved that for them. More innings, more K's, less ER, less Walks, less hits, better W/L. Across the board. Ragans is very very very good- but Skubal is better, and the runaway for AL Cy Young. Either is capable of shutting down an offense- and Ragans did just that earlier this year. But we also roughed up Ragans in the other start. No matter who we face, we're going to find things that make it tough, its the playoffs. Lets keep playing good ball and get payback for 2014.
