You're better off hearing from others who definitely know more about Pipeline than I do, but I've been very underwhelmed by them from what I've seen. I don't think their knowledge is particularly specific or deep, so they're more a reflection of conventional wisdom than particularly insightful. For example, I doubt they'd ever be on a guy like Kremer or Britton (back in the day) the way the OH gets on them early. That's my impression, at least.

I only see 4 in that list, and that's counting Rodriguez. Am I missing someone?

Assuming health and no promotion, it's probably fair to assume that Diaz, Hall, Rodriguez, Mountcastle and our #1 overall pick will be top 100 guys. It's a long season though. If they did a list today, it's possible they'd drop Diaz off of it just because he's been injured and hasn't produced in about 10 months. But who knows, maybe a guy like Knight or Peralta would jump up on their list if they continue to dominate.

Diaz has fallen from #56 to #83

There are 350 some 19 year old pitchers in affiliated ball. Grayson has thrown the 8th most innings of that group.

As always, this is more important than the box score (although he's still doing well there). Fastball velocity was down last start and was right back up this morning. We got ourselves a good one.

Shrug.

It's funny to me how short term injuries can affect such lists so often. It's like the entire scouting book on a guy gets thrown out the window after a brief, most likely insignificant, injury results in low playing time. Did they not rate him at #56 because he had talent? Is that talent suddenly gone? Of course not. 

Compare that to the OH list. It's not even comparable. Look at a guy like Hunter Harvey. I'm not at all bullish on him, but whatever. I love the arm, but haven't seen health + production. Tony/Luke still ranked him relatively highly because they're giving a scout's perspective. They of course account for risk, but they don't forget the talent while doing so. That's two perfect examples of how MLB Pipeline isn't up to par, IMO.

Rodriguez had a solid outing today, marred by a 2-run homer with 2 outs in the 5th.   Until then, he had a shutout going.   He finished today at 5 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 6 K’s.

Nice to see the velocity bump back up a bit.

As silly as it is to get worried over one outing, after being burned in experiences with people like Bundy, Harvey, and Tillman to a lesser extent (at the beginning of his career), I can't help being hugely relieved by a tweet like this. Thanks for posting it!

His ERA almost doubled with that home run - up all the way to 1.40. I usually don't advocate moving up young players real fast, but I'd like to see how he handles Frederick.

I agree that it's tempting but we have to remember how young he is. He doesn't turn 20 until November. Obviously development is paramount, but I like the idea of young pitchers like Rodriguez, Rom, and not so young pitchers but ones with potential like Peralta to pitch in high-leverage playoff environment assuming Delmarva continues to roll and is competing for a league championship toward the end of the season.

I see that point, but perhaps Frederick could get into the postseason with Rodriguez and Knight. I don't want to rush them, but if they are dominating at one level I think challenging them a little more is a good move. I just hate the talk of moving guys who have two good starts or hit .400 for one week.

Palmer pitched in a World Series at 19. I'm just talking about moving up one level after going 5-0 with a 1.40 ERA.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Rbiggs2525 · Posted

      What about the Rays? I know it’s hard to trade in division. They need offense and you could kill 2 birds with one stone. Zach Efflin and Jason Adam would solve both starter and bullpen issues. Rays may be extra incentivized to get rid of Efflin contract.

      Let’s be clear. He’s pitching like an ace THIS YEAR. this is his first year in mlb and he was considered a back end starter when he was signed.  No one rational would say a 2.5 month performance in your first year in MLB requires the number one prospect in baseball PLUS MORE! Respectfully it’s lunacy.

      I’m not saying we can’t trade for Scott. Or that we shouldn’t trade for someone. More that we basically already have one reliever we don’t have to trade for. But a guy who will likely have a relatively high whip due to command issues but have a well above average k rate… I also just don’t love rentals in general. Hit or miss as to whether they perform well anyway (hey jack flaherty) and then it’s gone. If you don’t win that year it’s all for nothing. For the right cost I’m okay with it, but I don’t want to give up a major prospect for a rental unless it’s the piece that puts us over the top

      They are not in a rebuild. And I don't want to waste time imagining that the team is bad and trading our best young players. As a matter of fact, I hope we don't have to do that for years to come. I envision adding good players not how can we get rid of the good ones that we have. I have waited my whole life to finally have a team this good. I don't mind at all trading good prospects. And have no delusional expectations that we can get value without surrendering value. Nor am I in love with the notion that we have to have a cheap, homegrown team. As a matter of fact, I want and expect the org to spend much more money on payroll than it is doing currently. Lastly, what happened with Gausman is in the past and under a totally different administration (ownership + front office). We were selling then. We are buying now.

      Is there a reason it should be? He’s still walking 5.5+ batters per 9. He’s still got things he can work on. No rush to get him up unless it’s as a reliever down the stretch or a spot start.

      I mean Tanner Scott at least has a Major League track record. How much do you think Scott will really cost? Also, we have more position players and prospects that we could ever use. I understand maybe not wanting Scott, but I don't understand the logic of not wanting surrender any prospects (even some good ones). We almost have to at some point. Otherwise, you have 25 year old top level prospects like Kjerstad, who is in his prime now and killing it at AAA but has no place on the Big League roster. Stowers is even older and has contributed relatively nothing to the Orioles and is now age 26.
