It's almost as if prospect rankings are subjective and somewhat arbitrary!

I think we all know that prospect rankings in general are subjective. But I'm not sure if the point of the post went over your head. This is the same ranking a player ahead of another player in one place and behind him in another place. I haven't see that before. And being "subjective" or "arbitrary" does not explain the issue.

Different writers probably made the lists.

Correct.   At least, different groups of writers.    Also, I’m not sure what top 100 list was being cited.    The official BA list comes out later this week, I believe.

The comparison was between the BA Top 100 referenced in this thread: 

According to that thread, it was released 10/1/19. The comparison was to the BA Orioles Top 10 (the subject of this thread) which appears to have been released about a month later. I've never seen a publication put out the corresponding lists that are not correlated. Even though they typically use numerous writers.

I get your point, but it's likely that they go through a post season reassessment of each team's rankings. My guess is the new list Frobby referenced will reflect that assessment rather than what was likely an end of year update.

We’ll see.    I think the organizational lists are done with some pretty heavy local input (I think both Melewski and Meoli have been involved in putting past lists together), whereas the national lists don’t have any such input.    It’s possible the local writers were more heavily influenced by Hays’ September performance in Baltimore than BA’s staff that are really focused on scouting these guys in the minors.

Has anyone seen the rest of BA’s top 30 for us?     I’m trying to put together a spreadsheet of all the various top 30 lists for the O’s.    I don’t have BP’s list either.

Weird that you're doing this. I opened a spreadsheet this morning and started doing the same thing. But to answer your question, no.

    • Kremer has been the better pitcher this month, needs a super quick hook though 
    • Shout out to Dean. That was a nice performance in a big spot on the road. Well done. 
    • Kremer's a good Gibson.    It has kind of entrenched watching Elias bolt together a good team that in the Driveline era, almost all pitchers are on a spectrum somewhere between Kyle Gibson and Felix Bautista.     If you could put 13 Felix Bautistas on a playoff staff, you would but we aren't quite there yet though Driveline and club labs are working on it every year. Even missing some time this year, since joining the rotation for good 6/5/2022: -Dean's 427.2 innings are 26th MLB-wide. -Dean's ERA is 3.85. -The pitchers with more innings and a better ERA are Gerrit Cole, Sonny Gray, Kevin Gausman, George Kirby, Zack Wheeler, Zac Gallen, Dylan Cease, Chris Bassitt, Luis Castillo, Framber Valdez, Logan Gilbert, Corbin Burnes, Aaron Nola and Logan Webb.    Just them. Those 2.5 seasons also coincide with BAL having the AL's best record. It doesn't mean I feel I have the edge if ALDS Game 5 at Yankee Stadium is Dean Kremer v. Carlos Rodon, but he's someone I enjoy having on the team.     Have to figure he is a growth mindset and skill acquisition champion considering he volunteered in podcast that as a prep, he was like 5-6 and 130 pounds.
    • I always like it when people think a manager managed a good game cause all the bullpen moves worked. 
    • Agreed, if they decided to start Suarez I wouldn't complain. Through August he was on a roll and I thought he was a virtual lock to be in the playoff rotation.  Still, Kremer is pitching better right now. He also is the same or better in just about any metric now that Albert's HR rate has normalized. Kremer has better OPS splits vs both RHB and LHB, higher K rate, lower WHIP. fWAR and K/BB are basically identical. I can't think of an objective reason to go with Albert.
    • BTW, in what seems to be another recurring theme for the season, we seem to be hitting teams at just the wrong time. The Giants came in to BAL on a terrible run.  Since taking 2 of 3 from us, they've won 5 straight against contending teams Kansas City and Arizona. They have shutouts in 3 of those games and allowed 1 run in another.
