Rutschman's response to my question on Game calling,

Really happy that the Orioles took catcher Adley Rutschman. He immediately becomes the organization's top prospect and should be in the majors within a year or two.

Four of the Orioles last 5 first round draft picks will be in every top 100 list to start next season (Mountcastle, DL Hall, Grayrod, Rutschman). As the losses pile up, it's good to take a step back a

Bobby Witts Jr agreed to a full slot contract of almost 7.8m.    So we know Rutschman will get at least that much and probably more.

Yes, I think so.   But it was only two years ago that the no. 2 pick got a bigger bonus than no. 1.    So it can happen, though I don’t expect it will this year.

Debuts at #9 on Fangraphs fresh update to Overall MLB Prospect Rankings.

The next four Orioles clump between 67 and 119, and beyond the Top 5 they have Stowers leap-frogging Akin/Lowther and all the other candidates for our third best pitching prospect.

FWIW they initially give Stowers a 45 FV, and Gunnar just 40+

Stowers is closer to the Majors, he should be ranked higher on prospect lists. Gunnar has to show something against real competition.

In the spirit of enjoying the shiny new toy, I'll also note he'll bump up to #8 this weekend as Fernando Tatis passes 130 at-bats.

They have him ahead of the downgraded Kyle Tucker, MLB wunderkind Austin Riley, and his 1-1 predecessor Casey Mize.

Of the fifteen FV 60's they pass out, he's in the upper third of that grouping with Adell, Trammell, Hiura and Mize.

Next year could play out as a quest to ascend the Wander Franco Mt. Everest of prospectdom.

I'll be curious to see if Delmarva's success this year is an Adley magnet - in a vacuum he could probably handle getting his feet wet in Frederick.

Remember when folks were suggesting Hiura as a possible return in trade talks at the deadline?

I probably mentioned him as a stretch goal last summer, though I certainly would have expected to include Givens or Gausman with Schoop to try to reach that ballpark.  Or perhaps more likely Gausman and Givens as I remember the Brewers interest in Schoop after already having Shaw and Moustakas surprising - most of last July I doubt I would have imagined them part of the Schoop market.

Seeing Tatis atop that list and about to graduate reminded me of the "Pick 10 Guys" thread last summer when I think we debated Yelich v. Tatis as the last guy in behind 9 more obvious ones - those two guys are keeping that one interesting.

Rutschman in the ESPN booth for a pretty good interview during the Tigers / Royals game. Says he’s ready for the day to day grind of the professional baseball season, and that he’s not concerned about being on what might still be a losing team when/if he makes the majors as he only worries about stuff he can control. 

Seemed really mature and grounded for such a young kid.

      Could he be back by the start of next season? I’m not sure of the exact recovery time for this procedure but I know it’s less than TJS.

      A player who is a FA after this year TB is not going to care where he goes. That said they only have Armstrong and Rosario. Potentially Maton.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By MDtransplant757 · Posted

      I don't think we really need to trade for CF just because we have so much depth at COF. We could promote Mayo or Kjerstad permanently and just see how they shake out, which wouldn't offensively be as bad as Mullins has been this year. Slide over Cowser to CF if we can't find that good a deal, and then go for anothter SP arm and some more depth in the pen. They don't trade Basallo because (and this is just me speculating) that they could move on from either Mountcastle or O'Hearn in the 2025-2026 offseason depending on if they can get a good return on them, like what we saw Tampa do with Austin Meadows a couple years back and the Orioles have a backup to replace said bat or bats.  In terms of who we go for, I don't really know. I don't like the idea of reuniting with Tanner Scott because his control issues and walk rate are still very present. I'm not in love with the idea of going for Kopech because the numbers and peripherals are average at best.  Carlos Estavez from the Angels, sure but how high is that asking price going to be? Whoever sells come deadline time could be interesting, as teams like the Cubs and Tigers could potentially be sellers come deadline time. Maybe even the mighty Astros who haven't been as good this year could be persuaded to sell off some talent depending on who we make available. It's a little to early to tell as of right now due to a good chunk of the sport sitting at around 500, but who knows at this point?

      Pick your 40 man roster (protect list) for Nov 20th.

      I don’t think it will meaningfully affect who they are looking to deal at the trade deadline. The Orioles will be more inclined to include guys who they aren’t planning to add to the 40 as the last pieces in a deal, but there isn’t a huge crunch that means they NEED to clear 40 man roster space. Of all the guys after Hays on that list, I think Strowd and Young are the only ones who are high probability of being added right now. None of the other borderline guys have much trade value at all. Note Baker is out of options next year, he’s going to have to pitch well the rest of the year to warrant his spot.  I also think Luis González is going to get a look at some point and will ultimately become the new Vespi for 2025, optionable lefty riding the Norfolk shuttle.
