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.

      Jackson Holliday 2024

      By Just Regular · Posted

      ZiPS being an inhuman thing incapable of recency bias is not much out on Holliday.    It only dings his 2025-2029 forecast WAR by about 3% today relative to what it was forecasting this spring. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/reassessing-the-future-for-this-seasons-disappointing-rookies/ Jackson Holliday’s numbers didn’t take a big hit for a few reasons. First, and most importantly, despite a really lousy debut in the majors, he played well enough in the minors — plus he’s so young and his résumé is so strong — that his small-sample struggles barely register. By reverse-o-fying Holliday’s major league woes into an untranslated minor league line and including it in his overall Triple-A production, ZiPS estimates that he would’ve had a 118 wRC+ in Triple-A this season, down from his actual mark of 142. A 20-year-old shortstop with a 118 wRC+ in Triple-A would still top everybody’s prospect list.

      Kjerstad should also get some reps in at first so he can be an option there as well, although now is probably not the time, best for him to DH for the rest of the season. He had 8 starts at first at AAA this season and 37 starts there between AA and AAA in 2023.

      In Grich’s case, I think his OBP skills weren’t appreciated at the time.  He was a .266 lifetime hitter in an era when that was maybe 10 points above average, but his .371 OBP was more like 45-50 points above average.  But OBP just wasn’t very valued at the time.

      We don’t have a current combo that is ideal. You have to go with the best possible grouping you have.

      Yep, we're in agreement on the 70 rWAR threshold.  A championship would help Manny's cause, though I'm not sure if that's in the cards for him in the near future.  He needs a big moment on a big stage, too....as silly as that sounds, I do believe it matters in the eyes of some voters. Not to derail, but Whitaker is a guy that belongs in the HoF, too.  I'm not sure why Grich never got serious consideration.

      I’ve always felt that 70 rWAR was the line between having to justify why someone shouldn’t be in the HOF versus justifying why they should.  In other words, if you’re over 70, there needs to be a reason for you NOT to be in.  There are 70 position players over 70 WAR, and the only ones not in are Bonds, Pujols (not yet eligible), Trout (not yet eligible), Rose, Bill Dahlen, Lou Whitaker, Raffy Palmeiro, Bobby Grich, and Carlos Beltran.  Really, only Dahlen, Whitaker and Grich have no obvious reason why they’re not in.  And I wouldn’t bet against Beltran getting in eventually.  He’s gotten  46% and 57% of the ballots his first two tries.
