July 2023 - Position Players Once again,  there were many players who had outstanding months in July, with 12 players posting a .900+ OPS in at least 60 PA.  I'm going to limit my candidates to 5

I think you're right, but DL Hall's numbers are borderline ridiculous given his walks. They just can't hit that kid. He must really have electric stuff. He gave up 10 hits in the month of July, and 11 walks. 

Mildly reminiscent of Tanner Scott, who allowed 4.1 H/9 at Frederick but walked 7.8 per 9 there.    I don’t think Hall is as wild as Scott, but the walks do concern me.   Among other things, he’s not getting deep into games because his pitch count gets high.

Now the position players.    There were more viable candidates than I realized.   I’ve listed them in order of level, with their OPS, HR, RBI

Jace Peterson, 1.297, 4, 8 (14 games)

Ryan Mountcastle, .895, 4, 15

Mason Williams, .872, 4, 15

Austin Hays, .854, 6, 18

DJ Stewart, .828, 6, 17

Yusniel Diaz, .867, 3, 22

Ryan McKenna, .822, 3, 15

Jomar Reyes, .962, 3, 15

Patrick Dorrian, .879, 3, 15

Zach Jarrett, .844, 5, 15

Johnny Rizer, .841, 2, 12

Zack Watson, .806, 5, 13

Toby Welk, .850, 1, 12

Pretty tight, but my pick would be Reyes, who easily had the highest OPS of anyone who played a full month.    His slash line breakdown was .379/.404/.558.

Peterson was spectacular over 14 games, but he’ll have to settle for being in the major leagues as his reward. 

I could also make a good argument for Diaz, who put up his numbers in a very pitcher-friendly league and knocked in the most runs of anyone in the organization.  But, I’m going with Reyes.

I think Diaz will be the pick, as the tie tends to go to the better prospect when there isn't an obvious choice.

Glad Reyes is showing some improvement, he has spend 384 games at Frederick but is still only 22, hopefully he will finally make the jump to Bowie next year.

Yeah but has to go on 40 man roster this year. I doubt they protect him and he hits rule 5 draft will someone gamble on him is  the question.

There is absolutely no way anyone takes Reyes in the Major League rule 5 draft. It is more likely that the Orioles don't protect him on their minor league roster and someone takes him as a pitcher in the minor league phase (I don't think this will happen).

I am not worried about anybody taking Reyes in the Rule 5 draft. His best case scenario long term is probably Rio Ruiz with fewer walks, that isn't the type of player that merits 40-man roster protection before playing at AA.

Below average power, low batting average,  borderline defense at third.

The best thing that Ruiz offers is the walks and Reyes doesn't have that.

Ruiz minor league triple slash line (albeit at generally a higher level at a lower age than Reyes) is .262/.343/.403

Reyes' line is .268/.313/.393.

I am sure there are players that Reyes is more similar to than Ruiz, but as an Orioles fan he is who springs to mind to me as a borderline defensive third baseman without plus power or hit tool.

Reyes would have to have a breakout season next year at Bowie (or convert to pitcher) to end up back in the prospect conversation.

Facetious question, I realize, but I’m pretty sure it was DJ Stewart, who batted .220 for the month but still had a .340 OBP.    He walked 12 times in 97 PA.

Well, I went with Reyes, but Mountcastle would have been my second choice.   One point in Mounty’s favor is that he’s exactly the same age as Reyes (2 days apart) but putting up his numbers two levels higher in the minors.    

I hope to see both players finish strong.

      The on field product has the talent to win and bring out fans now.  I’m not saying not to spend more money.  Your first paragraph I agree with. The new owner assumes all the “debts” leftover. Ultimately it’s their responsibility to repair it.    They screwed up big time with their pricing. If this team rebounds and gets in the DS the excitement will pick up. Only the last week did they have any momentum after months of losing it.

      That’s a very good point, but then you have the question whether you would be willing to give up McDermott plus for erceg, and that’s an easy trade to make. Plus, the athletics need almost everything, they wouldn’t want Hays But we could’ve found something to satisfy them.

      IMO, this mindset ("new chapter") is part of the problem. We can't act like the past and the terrible relationship that the org had with it's customer base does not matter or have a carryover effect. Whether the org calls itself "new" or not IMO is irrelevant. The issue is whether or not it will operate in enough meaningful different ways. If the org wants more of it's market to be engaged it is going to have to raise the bar to championship expectations and invest more in the on-field product. That would be different from the past and would indeed reflect that something is "new".

      All of you guys talking about empty seats and an unengaged fanbase - did you not see the post showing over 41K in attendance, more than in MIL or HOU?  Are those fan bases also unengaged or disinterested? This is much ado about absolutely nothing.

      I think at this point its just semantics regarding what a successful deadline looked like.  Elias upgraded three positions - SP, 2 RP.  Could there have been bigger upgrades?  Sure, at a bigger cost.  I think it was sufficient.  What has killed the team is the hitting.  If this team had hit like its capable of, and Soto, Eflin, and Dominguez all pitched exactly as they have, we'd all be feeling a lot better about the team, and probably lauding Elias for those three pickups and what a great boost they were at the deadline.  But we aren't hitting - at all - and I don't know what he could have done at the deadline to fix that. Already agreed that the draft strategy must evolve. I don't agree it was a bad strategy to do what they did so far, but it does have to evolve, just as the organization as a whole has evolved.  And I think it will.

      I don't mean this as any kind of personal slight toward you. Please do not take this as such. But people/fans showed how they felt about this team who has been a loser for almost 4 months. And largely continued to hedge (beyond the Eflin addition) at the deadline. I bet you who did not have a bunch of empty seats for their playoff game yesterday .... San Diego. IMO it is because of the effort that they put in to continue to engage the fanbase. You can't sell people on the "homegrown" stars idea and no need to add a lot of outside talent. And then some of those "homegrown stars" who were so hyped flop. And then not extend the ones who turn into stars. That communicates a lack of investment by the org. Now when you add that up in the economy/2024 inflation and combine that with all of the other entertainment choices that people have in 2024; things like this will happen. Empty seats during a playoff game = an unengaged/unexcited fan base. The org has to own much of this.
