This group has no buzz factor at all. After following the Wieters express last winter, these guys are not nearly as exciting. Arizona shoud be far more interesting to keep an eye on with Matt Wieters, Brian Matusz, Nolan Reimold, Brandon Snyder and even Blake Davis. This is group of players that all have the potential to play in the majors, while the Hawaiian group doesn't have anyone that I'd say is a strong ML-potential guy.

That's unfair. Arizona is filled with our AAA and AA guys who are usually college first round picks and/or have had plenty of time to work their way into the minors based on their skills.

Our Hawaii guys are entirely from A- Delmarva with the exception of Bascom who struggled in A+ Frederick. Of course they aren't as good as the Arizona guys, they are years younger in some cases. Doesn't mean they won't be exciting SOMEDAY or possess less chance of being MLB talent in the future.

I'm interested in Henson. He's not Wieters or even Brandon Snyder (from the HWL last year), but he's good enough and young enough for me to be very interested in how he does.

Ditto that for me. Os brass were ecstatic about Henson entering the season and he was still young for the league at DelMarva. I wonder if the Os are as excited about Henson after the season at DelMarva.

If Henson does well, it should mean he's in Frederick for sure. So what does that do to Rowell? Both can't play 3B, and I just can't see Rowell being moved up. (And I hope he isn't since I want to see Snyder at 3B in Bowie.

Has anyone seen a single mention from MacPhail or Stockstill that the Orioles intend to move Snyder back to 3B. I'm all for it, but he's on an AFL team with Wes Hodges, so he's probably not going to get any innings at 3B this fall. In fact, on the AFL roster, he's listed at 1B. I just don't hold out much hope that Snyder ever goes back to 3B.

Nope. I think he's 1B to stay.

I believe that in the BA chat on the Carolina League top 20 list, the reporter stated that the O's think Snyder will be a good defensive 1B with more reps and want to keep him there. If you go to the thread about the Carolina League top 20 it is quoted, I think.

I'd try Henson at SS or 2nd base.

The Orioles SHOULD NOT move Billy Rowell to 1st base, that would be an awful decision.

    • Regarding Cooper, he was a fantastic pitching coach for a long time, but the game simply passed him by.  Near the end of his tenure, after a tough season Giolito actually went and worked with Ethan Katz (our current pitching coach and his former HS pitching coach) and he came back new and improved.  Katz also got a ton of credit for developing Cease and getting Rodon to finally tap into his potential. A year ago I would have been high on Katz, but last year was such a disaster that I’m not sure what to think.  It’s clear he’s got a much more modern take on pitching than Cooper, but I also think the org in general is so behind the times when it comes analytics & biometrics that there is only so much he can do.  We don’t have a single voice driving an org wide pitching philosophy (which is evident in our PD system) or much of a pitching lab to get the most out of guys.  Hopefully that will change for the better with the addition of Brian Bannister. All that being said, I don’t believe for a second we get all we can out of our guys.  Katz obviously helped Giolito, Cease, & Rodon improve but these were all elite prospects acquired from other orgs.  We still struggle to unlock the next tier of guys, although I blame that on broader organizational issues than purely Katz.
    • I love this.  Most fans that go to the game live within 45 minutes of the ballpark I would suspect.  The good thing is you can get home by 10:00 most evenings.  
    • I selfishly don't like it, I'm a displaced fan in the central time zone.  5:30 weeknight start times are rough for me, the games are usually over before I get home from the office.  But they should make decisions based on the people who might actually go to the games. 
    • That's something that can only be determined in hindsight.  Lots of options and lots of flexibility this offseason to really set the team up for the next 2-3 years.  I'm very curious to see how it plays out.  Checking my crystal ball, I don't see Aroldis Chapman anywhere on the program
    • I agree and I don't want him on the team.  But I'm not sure this specific moment is more critical than say, when he picked Gunnar Henderson in the second round.
    • Perhaps he looked and doesn’t have the dough to spend or wants to part with the asking price for Cease or 1 year of the other guys rumored available. 
    • Spin rates and stuff like that are very good.               Eno Sarris   @enosarris · Follow I'm hearing that Naoyuki Uwasawa will be posted soon by his NPB team. His K rates haven't been amazing in Japan, but he has some interesting characteristics to his stuff. His fastball vertical movement (19 IVB) and spin (2650 RPM) would be top 5-10% percent in the league. 12:30 PM · Nov 22, 2023   245   Reply   Share
