Interesting, all offensive players so far. Not surprising they all list as SS, OF and C, I'm sure in professional baseball we will see many of those SS move to other places in the infield.

This link says Maikol Hernandez has some Carlos Correa to him, hopefully not the douchebag part and he can stay healthy.  And they put us in the top tier class with the Rays, so that's nice to see.

Idea for the site.  Add a top 15 International FA ranking with a write up.  As the Orioles are now knee deep in this market, it only makes sense.

So maybe we should expect to see some of these guys in the majors in 2026.

I actually think this would make sense. The content would be very difficult in terms of meaningfulness before we get to see them actually play in the majors, but it would be an interesting follow. That said, as they move through the system, they'll naturally be included in the top 30 list, so I can see an argument for this being a bit redundant.

I don't think it hurts to sign 1 player in the top 15. I am not saying that we need to break the bank. The lottery the bank on a bunch of these guys ...I think we can do better than #30 and #35ish?? for the other guy.

This is coming. The thing with the international market is a lot of these things are years in the making. The O's are new to this game. They are currently establishing relationships with guys in that market. It will take time but they are on the up swing.
