As Luke has pointed out a few times, Diaz actually had a higher OPS+ at Bowie than Mountcastle had at Norfolk.   The Eastern League was an extreme pitchers’ league in 2019 and the International League

GrayRod and Mountcastle.

Luke made a post last week comparing Baumann to BAs #99 rated prospect and the O's have 4 on that Top 100 list. May be reading into it too much, but makes me think at least Luke sees him in that conve

Hall  Mountcastle.      If he would have had Hays in there it would have made it harder for me to pick.

I'm also on Hall (who I had as 2) and Mountcastle. It's kind of neat that guys like Hays, Baumann and Diaz - if things go right for them - could belong in this conversation. But I do think at this time there's really only two guys who fit here based on 2019 information. 

I am wondering if they sneak Baumann up to #5, but that's a conversation for another day.

May be reading into it too much, but makes me think at least Luke sees him in that conversation of #5 in our system. I think that's more of a tip of the hat to Baumann than a knock on some other talented guys in our system.

Baumann had a hell of a year, and it wasn't smoke and mirrors. He has a chance to be VERY good, but it's a high bar to get to the top. I think he's working primarily with 2 pitches, for example, and he really excelled in a pitcher's league (AA) so there's still risk in the profile even though it's a very nice a profile. No doubt Luke and Tony like the kid. It's just a matter of how much.

Not sold on Díaz at all.

Another write-up I can't wait to see. I'm wondering if he has make up problems. On essentially box scores, I'd consider him for #4 for sure. It's just this internet thing that makes me think there's more going on that I can't know about.

Me too, I don’t spend enough time researching the prospects, but Diaz Did not seem to make the strides that were expected of him, while Baumann is all  Apfeltorte und Strudel.

No reason they can’t both be wonderfully successful, but I am eager to see what The Powers think.

Yep. There's no doubt that guys like Baumann and Mountcastle had better years. It was kind of a lost year for Diaz. I give him a bit of a pass because of injuries and I think he was good late in the year. His story is kind of like Hays' to me. Not that they're the same types of player; just that there's more to their profiles than their performance has demonstrated in the last 1-2 years. 

Of course, that's good reason to knock them down a notch. It's not like the people coming up with the rankings are damning them for life. They'll just reflect the reality of what's happened.

      Elias: Hyde will be back

      She’s awful.  I wouldn’t take anything she says to mean anything.

      This Twitter thread is interesting. A lot of things track. I generally think she doesn’t know much but she does seem to know people around the team. She’s also been a Hyde defender.

      I feel like they did it to entice pitchers on short-term deals to come here and now have their stats blow up.

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Here was the Wheeler extension from this past spring - he is finishing 2024 under the terms of his original 2020-2024 contract, so these are guarantees Middleton and Dombrowski made blind to whether Wheeler would hit any health bumps in 2024. Wheeler 5.30.1990 is 4 plus years older than Burnes 10.22.1994, but has a ton more October achievement, including 7 shutout innings this afternoon.    30 Swings and Misses!!! 3 years/$126M (2025-27) signed extension with Philadelphia 3/4/24 25:$42M, 26:$42M, 27:$42M

      Elias: It's on me

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      It wasn’t Cowser and Ortiz for Burnes..it was Cease.  And at that time, they did have to give that to get him, clearly. I never wanted to lose Urias for nothing. And yea, I wanted to trade some of our vets and play the kids…and put more emphasis on the pitching staff. I wanted Hays gone and wanted Mounty gone.   And it was definitely you but whatever.

      Elias: It's on me

      By Pickles · Posted

      I don't remember those conversations.  I pegged them at 90-95 wins in the poll, so there's no way I wouldn't have believed they could win 88 games.  Which of course they didn't, even with the injuries and underperformance. The biggest thing I remember arguing with you about last off-season was that we didn't need to give Ortiz and Cowser up to get Burnes and it would be foolish to give up them both.  I specifically argued that we didn't need to trade Ortiz as we could find a place for him to play, specifically citing the likelihood of injury. I really think you're thinking about somebody else.  I'm also not sure why you think you were one of the voices arguing for "depth" as you were willing to lose Mateo and Urias for basically nothing, and they both contributed to this team and were a bulwark against injury/underperformance.  You were willing to trade Cowser and where would we have been without him? This team's performance this year was well within the boundaries of what I expected, if a bit on the lower end.  The only thing confusing to me about it was what happened to Rutschman. That said, my "confusion" is what is the best path forward.

      I think he’s getting somewhere around $180 million
