Hmm Hoes is on that list, I think I'm going to go with him. Especially because of the plate discipline he showed when he was only 18. That's a huge rarity in this system and as a result it puts him high up there on my list.

He's easily the best position prospect after Snyder and is the heir apparent to BRob right now if he can stick at 2B...

Why do people make such statements?

There was a higher rated position prospect drafted one round ahead of Hoes. I love the Hoes pick and he is off to a nice start, but Avery is very raw and appears to have a nicer ceiling than Hoes. To say that Hoes is "easily" a better position prospect than Avery is a significant reach.

Tony posted this in the Top 30 prospect thread, something to think about:

"I will give you guys one little thing to discuss. There is one player on these lists that most of you will be upset at where he ends up falling on our list. He'll be this year's Hernandez or Fiorentino. The guy everyone thinks is a top ten guy and we have him a bit lower."

Then, in the top 6 prospect poll-

"Erbe is going to send you guys down."

Is it possible that Erbe is out of the top 10? I don't think it could be Reimold. Who else could be the shocker thats out of the top 10? I wouldn't be shocked by it being Britton, Hernandez, Bergesen.

All that aside, I voted for Nolan.

(sorry for not using quote feature, its un-possible after a thread is locked...)

A MI prospect with a good eye at the plate is more valuable than a toolsy OF prospect. Avery was clearly behind Hoes, but it was to be expected as he's very raw. Just remember Darnell McDonald, Keith Reed, Kieron Pope etc. when talking about Avery. We haven't been too good at developing toolsy guys...

I have no doubt it's Erbe. Bu I'm going to vote for who I think should be the ranked here, instead of trying to read minds. And then when Erbe gets inducted into the Hall of Fame, I can stick out my tongue and say "I told you so." :P

It should be Erbe. It will be Reimold.

I agree. Tony has dropped enough hints that Erbe is going to be lower on this list that I discount any likelihood that he's the pick here. The margin between Snyder and Reimold is very thin, so I think Reimold slots here.

That is so far off in the future that I can't even comtemplate it. Hoes had a nice debut, but after all, it was only the GCL. In the past, our best high school picks have gone straight to Bluefield. This guy has talent but he's a long-term project. Even if all goes smoothly, he's probably got 4 full minor league seasons remaining before he gets a sniff of the majors.

      Pre winter meeting reliever notes

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      If those signed those 2 guys to a contract today, it would have absolutely zero impact on the payroll this year, next year or 5 years from now.    Those players are already signed for the next several years. They aren’t going anywhere. All the long term extension does is keep them under contract an extra 1-2 years. Thats it.

      Would you trade Cowser and Ortiz for Cease

      By forphase1 · Posted

      I don't either.   But I expect Ortiz and Cowser to help the Os this year,  and I don't think Cease is a sure enough of an upgrade to trade them both for him.   In the right deal I'd certainly let them both go as they certainly aren't untouchable.  But I think 2 of our top 6 prospects is too steep a price for Cease.

      Tyler Wells 2023

      By Frobby · Posted

      I loved what Wells did in the first half last year.  I loved what he did in the first half of 2022.  I loved what he did in the first half of 2021.  But after three years, here are his career splits: 1st half: 231.2 IP, 3.42 ERA 2nd half: 47.2 IP, 6.61 ERA No matter what role he’s been in, he’s been excellent in the first half and absolutely fallen off a cliff after the all star break, three years in a row.   I’d love to see him prove that he can get through a whole year and remain effective.   But how do you plan for it?  What contingency plan to you have if the same pattern holds for a fourth year in a row?

      Ownership issues aside, my preference would be to use resources to extend Gunnar and Holliday through their prime career years if possible rather than sign a highly paid reliever. Realizing that won’t happen, let’s go Hader and try to win while they’re here.

      Rule 5 Draft Targets

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      The Orioles took Andrew Politi last year when they were expected to compete, so I could see them taking a flier on a potential bullpen arm if they're intrigued enough by them. I just hope if they do they come with more upside than a Politi-type. I never understood that selection since there really wasn't a ton of upside and the stuff was just "bleh".  I don't ever research these guy prior to the draft, especially now that the Orioles will not be picking until late in the first round. They did of course find Tyler Wells in the second round so sometimes there's a diamond in the rough, but that was also after COVID cost teams a chance to look at minor league players for a year and why the Twins may have thought Wells would not be selected or was too raw to stick.

      Sure, 2-3 years would be great but he will get 4-6 years and even if he would sign for 2-3 years, I’m guessing his AAV will be higher than the Os will spend. Kimbrel, Robertson and Chapman will all get 1 year deals. The Os probably sign one of them. I would rather trade for Kopech and move him to the back of the pen personally. I think his upside is higher than those guys and you can likely acquire him for a “bargain” relative to the cost of established high leverage relievers.

      I have no interest in having the Tides win another AAA title
