I'd put Baumann up higher personally.

The rankings are from last year, no one was changed. All we did was assess whether they took a step forward, remained neutral, or took a step back.

Neat update putting that all in one place. I’m rooting for Diaz and Kremer to start putting on a show, hoping for Peralta to get promoted soon (age/results), and strangely disappointed in Cumberland. I think I was higher on him than most.

You might want to add Sisco. Having a nice year.

Sisco is no longer a rookie so he doesn't qualify. I do however think he's back on the scene with his offensive work this year. Still need to see it at the big league level though before getting to high on him once again. He's also struggled throwing out runners. That only becomes a problem though if team's start running wild with players that don't normally steal.

WIll be interesting to see where the rankings shake out. I have to think Tate and Ortiz have been massive disappointments to the point they might drop off entirely. Sedlock may be top 20 now and could go higher.

I don't remember Rom being so high, maybe I just can't keep track of these guys.

How can Hall and Rodriguez be "step forward" when they were already 1-2?

McCoy is interesting.

The rankings are the same as last year. I just mean a step forward in their development.

I had no idea.

I agree about the cautious optimism.

Very revealing breakdown.

You know, I really didn't do a breakdown when I did the quick takes, but that is pretty interesting. I guess we should add Zimmerman as one that has taken a step forward into getting on the list potentially.

Tony, this is excellent.  Thanks!

I had the same thought as the post I quoted when I reviewed Tony’s list.  The new guy situation doesn’t make me happy for sure.

Injuries have had something to do with it.   Diaz and Kremer both missed a lot of time, and now Pop with the TJ surgery.    Carroll hasn’t played yet.   Also, Zimmermann isn’t in the top 30 but as noted in the article his stock is up.   So perhaps all isn’t lost, but it’s definitely been disappointing overall for this group.

      An early look at the 2025 Bullpen

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      I wouldn’t call that a “real strength”. Trade Perez and get a better arm to replace him.

      But that RH bat played a position that we had locked down because of the presence of Urias and Westburg. He wasn’t going to come up and play. If you wanted him to be the RH DH, that’s fine but the Os also lost Mounty and Mayo didn’t come up and play well. They decided that having those 4 players was enough depth to use Norby to get pitching. I don’t see that as being wrong at all…no one to predict what would happen after. They had that “position” locked down. Jimenez was just a lottery ticket and really he played a lot more than they probably thought because of all the injuries that occurred.

      An early look at the 2025 Bullpen

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      The 2025 bullpen looks like a real strength. R - Bautista, Cano, Dominguez, Webb L - Coloumbe, Soto, Perez, Akin I like having the 4 lefties with the WALL and that should be enough for the regular season.  It allows us to really matchup and take advantage of our ballpark. That’s a pen with 4 former All Stars. I believe Akin will still have an option since he made it through the season without burning his last one.  He’d be the guy to go down to AAA for a longman/fresh arm when needed. Maybe we get our lightning in a bottle reliever throwing near 100 in McDermott or Morfe later in the year. I don’t think we see much turnover here.  However, I could see Elias electing not to bring back Soto for flexibility reasons, more so than salary reasons.  Could we actually “sell” Soto for something of value?

      Co-hitting coach Ryan Fuller, Fredi Gonzalez and Jose Hernandez let go

      By eddie83 · Posted

      https://www.masnsports.com/blog/reviewing-orioles-recent-coaching-history-and-thoughts-on-what-s-next From Roch.    An immediate reaction to the current openings is that Triple-A Norfolk manager Buck Britton could be a candidate to fill one of them. They also could seek a bilingual coach now that González and Hernández are gone. Britton’s contract expires at the end of the month and he’s close with the young hitters who passed through Norfolk. He’s also gained the respect of other teams in the majors and could move on, which would leave the Orioles with another task.

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      If we don’t resign Burnes then what are we doing as a franchise?  It’s hard to see any difference between Rubenstei and what we had before. A case can be made for not bringing back Santander.  Heck, even Soto, but with our SP injuries, and the way we’ve spent our draft capital, the plan looked to be to always land that big time SP from outside the org.  Well that happened.  Gotta keep him now.

      He called it a solid trade at the time it was made and he’ll die before he admits he was wrong about something.

      There was a need for a RH bat. We used a major league ready RH bat (who was also serviceable in the field) in the trade for Rogers. We added a bad RH bat, who was not able to play defense at all.  Neither Eloy or Rogers were able to keep their spot on the roster, and we had two guys go down that would have opened spots for Norby. So yes, it does have something to do with the Rogers trade.
