I was fooling around with Fangraph's new minor league stat tool. It goes back to 2006, and now you can pull full reports with all the minor leagues in any kind of format. It's really kind of cool.

I look at every minor league boxscore virtually everyday.  It is more fun this year than ever before. My new guy to promote is the 17 yo SS Placencias.   A mid season addition and hitting about .350. Rolls the 1B from the Virgin Islands is built like Prince Fielder at 6 ft. 240.  He bats LH, already has 2 homers and is hitting over .300.  Josue Cruz is a big LH with 7 homers.  He's 18/19 but might still be someone to keep an eye on.  Two Cubans besides Yorkislandy Alvarez.  Kelvin Infante, a 19 CF, and Mantecon, a 17 yo catcher.  Just so many more potential prospects than ever before.  Of course, some of these guys were signed by Duquette so the real changing of the guard was the change instituted by the Angelo's brothers.  However, with due respect to Duquette who had one hand tied behind his back, I feel confident that the team of Elias and Kolby Perez are best equipped to execute the International plan.

Yeah, it's time to talk more about Piancencias.  Still just 67 plate appearances but a .522 OBP really is eye-catching (15 walks and 15 SO's).  No power to speak of - but at 6'1 170 maybe the best is yet to come?  Hey, when you're an O's fan these days, you take any bone thrown your way.

Interesting.   His stat line caught my attention today, but I didn’t recognize him as one of our 17 year olds and assumed he was a guy who I hadn’t paid attention to because he was older.   I didn’t know he was a mid-season addition.    Did we just sign him, or did he just get assigned to the team late?

He was one of the few 2019 J2 guys who signed a regular contact instead of a future contract for next year.

.984 OPS with no HR. You don't see that every day. If we could just combine this kid's bat with Richie Martin's defense...

Between Hall, Hernais, Henderson, Carmona, and Piancencias… we have power in numbers at the SS spot.  We just need 1 to "hit" big.  We should know in... 5 years or so.  :)

I’m really interested in seeing who the O’s take off the island next summer.

What does a .500 OBP in the DSL translate to in MLB? Is it too early to project?

DSL numbers mean very little.

It’s hard to translate DSL numbers to domestic Rookie ball numbers, much less A ball, much less the high minors, much less MLB.

Kind of piggybacking off Frobby’s comment, the best indication without going and watching is who the Orioles bring to the instructs (if anyone) and bring to the GCL next summer.

One thing to know about the DSL is it’s a walk-fest.   League average .254 BA but .360 OBP.    Lots of really wild pitchers and if you get a batter with a good eye he can really rack up the walks.   There are quite a few guys averaging nearly one walk per game.

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      It’s called venting, montezuma’s revenge-o.

      It did look like they already have their game legs back--maybe in time to make that dream come true. I live in Brooklyn and it's going to be a challenge to hold my place and my lip in the sports bars over the next three days (unless I go to one filled with Mets fans who are just letting one screen tune into the game in the Bronx).

      Adley was 2022, not sure if Gunnar was 2022 or 2023, I think he was also 2022.

      Oh, I thought you were taking about his hitting in high leverage situations.

      Frustrating sure, but boring is not what I would I say. We do steal bases at times. I would like for us to play more small ball sometimes and it is frustrating to see us be so homerun happy. I think with Westy back, we will see a resurgence of timely hitting as that is very contagious.   We saw that at the beginning of the year. Amazing sight to see for sure. I think the most disheartening thing that really shocked me is the apathy and outright disgust I’ve seen from O’s fans toward their team. Perhaps we have been spoiled? No idea. Maybe expectations were too high? No idea, but frankly, a lot of yall focusing on other things and simply not watching/posting would make next season a lot more enjoyable. This is the first time since 96-97 where we make the playoffs in back to back years and you guys have been acting like some real lame jerks this whole dang season. Frankly, yall should be ashamed of yourselves. We are an incredibly young team and with that come highs and lows, but yall don’t see that. You just love to complain and moan and bloviate. Where’s the heart? Where’s the loyalty? Where’s the gratitude? You’d think with all this team has overcome, especially being so young, y’all would be happy, but no. So go off on your little bike rides or whatever. Go watch a movie if this saga seems boring to you. I don’t care. Just for once this season, keep your immense negativity to yourself.

      Fangraphs updated top prospect list

      By luismatos4prez · Posted

      Really an amazing run, 4 straight years. I completely agree with the ranking, too. There's no way Kjerstad is still a prospect though, right? 45 days is the cutoff and he's played in 48 games.
