Most Compelling Parts of our Minor League Rosters

[Hazmat]

Which components of our minor league teams are you most interested in following?  Pick an A & B for Catcher, Infield, Outfield & Pitchers and explain why.  These don’t have to be tied to a single player but can be.

Catchers

A.      Bowie – Rutschman.  No explanation necessary.  I’m expecting this to be unanimous.   

B.       Aberdeen – Tough choice here but I chose the Ironbirds because I’m curious to see what we have in Maverick Handley.  Do we really have any exciting catchers in our system other than AR?

Infield

A.      Delmarva – Gunnar would probably win this one alone but the additions of Hernaiz, Westburg and Servideo make it especially intriguing.  Playing time for each will be key.

B.       Aberdeen – Big talk behind Joey Ortiz and my hopes that Welk can continue his improbable run add interest to Hall.  Is Daschbach a prospect?

Outfield

A.      Aberdeen – Do we have anything with Stowers?  Watson was drafted high as well.  Will anything come of the outfielders drafted in 2019?

B.       Norfolk – Yusniel Diaz alone makes the Tides outfield interesting.  Will he force the O’s to bring him up this season?

Pitchers

A.      Bowie – I think this was the toughest selection but I really want to see growth from DL Hall to give confidence he can start and be brought up in the next 1 to 2 years.  Also, there’s been hype around Bradish and looking forward to seeing what we have in Kevin Smith.

B.       Aberdeen – Our hopes rest on G-Rod becoming a #1 starter.  Rom, Stallings & Knight make interesting follows.  It was a close second between this crew and that of Norfolk with the close to ready Lowther, Mattson & Wells.

You did a nice job here.   If I had to pick one element at any level that is the most interesting to me, it’s the infielders at Delmarva.   However, it’s probably the Baysox box scores I’ll be checking first each night, to see what Adley did.  So much hinges on him being a fair approximation of what he was cracked up to be.

I’m a “catcher” fan. I want to see what they have in Cody Roberts and if he can stay healthy, along with what happens with Jordan Cannon.

Jose Ortiz and Adam hall in Aberdeen. Both MI's so how well they can progress and hold off the wave of MI's in Delmarva. I have high hopes they'll be our future MI in two years.
