I have no doubt that Rutschman is #1 and that either Hall or Rodriguez is #2.     But Hall vs. Rodriguez is something of a coin toss.    My sense is that Hall has the slightly higher ceiling, Rodriguez a substantially higher floor.     Based on that, I personally would choose Rodriguez #2 but Tony always like ceiling so I’m going with Rutschman-Hall in the poll.

Agree on the coin toss for 2/3, but I prefer Hall because he's the type of guy whose ceiling wins World Series games like Strasburg did last week. As good as I think Grayson Rodriguez can be, I'm not sure he could get to that level even if everything falls his way. I love that he's good enough for there to be a debate though.

This is a good thing, when we have multiple higher level prospects where you can discuss pegging order at 2, 3 or 4.

Can you image, they all succeed, and they form the next "core" group of Orioles?

Well, with Hall and Rutsch as an option, the school test taker kicked in and went with Rutsch/Hall for the reasons you mentioned combined with the options available ;)

I actually think 20-30, and even beyond, will be interesting too. It's really neat when a guy like @Sir_Loin jumps into a thread and mentions a kid I've never heard of as a guy to watch. It seems like we'll finally run into a few of those types now that the international stuff is actually moving. But really, there are more interesting stories throughout a top 30 list than I can ever remember. Just reading the responses in that minor league thread, it's clear I totally forgot about some guys who will probably end up with really nice write-ups. Fun times to like Orioles prospects.

Without giving too much away, at least personally, I'm a wait and see with the DSL guys because I don't get to see them and I don't have a contact there.

    • Still with a chance to do this for the first time since 1982-83. Would be one more nice accomplishment for this organization. 
    • The weird thing about our bullpen is that they rarely blow leads.   They have a 69% save rate, 4th highest in baseball.  They make it scary, but generally, when they have the lead, they get the job done.   Where they are really bad is keeping games close when we’re down a run or two, last night being a classic example of that.   This year’s team has 32 comeback wins, compared to 48 last year.   Why is that?   Part of it is obviously on the offense, but part of it is that the bullpen doesn’t keep us in striking distance when we’re behind.   One way you can tell this is by the W/L records of the starters and the bullpen.  Last year, the starters were 57-40, this year they’re 60-49.   The starter got the decision 12 more times this year than last year, including 9 more losses (with 3 games to play).   That tells you that when the team is losing when the starter is pulled, they keep losing.  Meanwhile, the relievers were 44-21 last year, 28-22 now. They’re not picking up wins because they don’t give the offense a chance to catch up and get the win for the bullpen guy.    
    • I do not disagree with above posts.  Also I am pretty sure that this time last season, the Texas Rangers Hangout was saying the exact same things as the Rangers Pen.  Point being, you never know until you know.  The pen is shaky, but is capable of putting together a solid run from time to time.  
    • Roster Resource thinks it has tonight's lineup and Kjerstad on bench again. He is 7 AB shy of 130 MLB regular season AB with 3 games left, and if he ends up short some prospect list makers may still label him one.    If still with the Orioles, he will be 26 years old by Sarasota. I think the OP has its answer as it has been Cole and Lopez these two nights and the team is preparing for that intensity.
    • I care I bet the over on 88 wins, looked like a lock now not so much, come on O’s, daddy needs some new shoes
    • I’d have brought up Young immediately after DFAing Kimbrel. Baker has no place on this club this year. Would have been nice to see Young up here.
    • Yeah, but they could've brought him up a month ago and seen what they might have...And Im not "pining" for Brandon Young, just wondering if he's any better than some we have in the pen..
