The 2020 stats are indicative of his improvements in his athleticism, approach and overall hitting process. I see that in his play, albeit in a small amount of games, compared to years past. The tools

Kjerstad

Lowther for sure has way more of a chance to provide value, but personally I'm an upside guy and I would rather have Baumler. This is who I'd rather have, not a ranking.

Gunnar right now

This one is hard, there really is not enough info for me to pick. Maybe Westburg, but it's close.

Haskin

Servideo

Mountcastle over Kjerstad though it's close.  I rather have a power bat that is Major League ready than one who has to make his way through the entire minor league system.  Kjerstad's arm might give him a leg on Mountcastle defensively.  Both project as power hitting corner outfielders so I don't see Kjerstad having that much more upside.  Kjerstad as our no. 5 prospect seems about right for now. 

I'd put Baumler behind Lowther and probably somewhere in the 10-15 range.  A lot of risk with Baumler.  Baumler could shoot past Lowther and many others with a dominant beginning to his professional career. 

Gunnar over Mayo.  More tools.  More likely to stick in the infield and possibly middle infield.  I'd have Mayo probably three to four spots behind Gunnar.  With Baumler in the 10-15 range. 

Westburg should probably be ahead of Hernaiz and Hall due to his draft position, but I like Hernaiz a lot and feel Adam Hall is underrated. Hit tool concerns and ability to stick at short concerns has Westburg in the 15-20 range for me. 

Haskin and McKenna is a push.  I think they are both fourth outfielders. 

Servideo over Bannon based on his ability to play SS.  Bannon will have a tough time sticking in the majors as a utility player limited to 2B and 3B so his bat really needs to play as a regular and I'm not sure it will.

Kjerstad has much better plate discipline, better hit tool, better power, and better arm. Agree with you the other comparisons.

I don't think you can grade Kjerstad's current hit tool or power over Mountcastle's.  Maybe put a higher future power grade on Kjerstad.  Mountcastle just finished a season hitting .312 with 25 home runs in Triple A.  Hard to expect Kjerstad to do better than that in two years if he has even made it to Triple A at age 23.

This is a combination of the MLB Draft ratings and the Orioles Prospect ratings.

Just giving my best guess:   

1. Rutschman (65)

2.  Rodriguez  (55)

3.  DL Hall   (55)

9. Kremer (50)

10. Baumann (50)

11.Lowther (50)

13. Westburg  (50)- Adam Hall better hit, runs and field numbers; Westburg better power somehow gets better overall number.

14. Baumler (45)- Rating close to Lowther except overall rating.

15. Harvey (45)

16.  Adam Hall (45)

17. Servideo (45)  Same numbers as Adam Hall

18. Mayo (45)   Hall and Servideo better hit, run and field;  Mayo better arm and power.

Sedlock has really fallen.

Westburg is more advanced than Hall or DH but I think Hall has more potential. Same goes with Gunnar, who as another poster mentioned has a better chance at defensive value. His baseball name value is off the charts, though Mayo isn’t too shabby.

      Re-visiting Luzardo

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      Luzardo has certainly experienced a down year compared to 2023. He has had some injuries (and currently on IL with a lumbar issue) and his statcast data is worse. The walk rate is still good but the K rate has dropped big time.  He is still missing bats but players aren’t chasing as much. I still think this is a guy that is and will be on the O’s radar, provided that they are comfortable with the medicals. They still would have him for 2 more years as well and he doesn’t turn 27 until the end of September, so you basically will have him for what are historically his peak years. Miami has said they aren’t trading him but I’m not sure I buy that. Outside of 2023, he has had his share of injury issues and he’s a big risk to acquire but he’s also a big risk to keep. The question is, what will Miami need for him to decide to move him?  Right now, his value is obviously way down. If you are Miami do you keep him and hope he gets back healthy, finishes strong and then you trade him for more  in the offseason than you likely can get now or do you cut your losses, get 70ish cents on the dollar and make sure you get something of value? If the Os were to put a deal of Norby, Stowers, Beavers, Tavera and Urias on the table for Luzardo and Nardi, would Miami turn that down?  Would they get a better offer? I think both answers to those questions are maybe. I think he’s a tough one to gauge but the team control and the fact that he is left handed is huge. Get him with our coaches and our program and on a real baseball team and things could be different for him..change of scenery type thing. I was luke warm on acquiring him before because I was worried about his health but if we can get him without trading our absolute best assets, that makes him even make intriguing. Add in getting Nardi and I think this is a package that could help the Os a lot. Its a risk and it certainly hurts some of your depth but it also opens up a door for Mayo and eventually Holliday and it keeps your absolute best prospects here.

      The O’s will play MLB games in a MiLB ballpark next year.  For those who are thinking “road trip!”, consider this about Sacramento.  While announcers were raving about the weather in Oakland this past weekend, in Sacramento July 5, 6 & 7 daily highs were 108, 110 & 106.  I would imagine day games will be limited.

      O's Getting Hosed, All Star Reserves

      By jamalshw · Posted

      The Semien pick and the Holmes pick seem to be the two biggest reaches which is interesting since neither were the only rep for their team so there isn't even that logic there.  Josh Smith or Jordan Westburg should have been over Semien (I know they are both primary 3B, but either could play 2B for a couple innings) and Kimbrel of Jansen over Holmes.

      Must be fWAR because Westburg has 2.8 rWAR to Semien’s 2.3. And he’s only played 5 less games than Semien.
