When you say defensive struggles for Henderson, do you mean he’s not going to make it as a SS, or he may not even be a 3B?

I agree with you on Hall. It’s hard to keep him Top 5 when he’s looking more and more like a reliever. 

It's too early to say he can't stay on the left side of the infield and he does have very good athleticism, but he's made a lot of errors since becoming a pro and I just saw him botch as routine a ball a they come on a grounder right to him while in a shift standing at SS.

He's young and there is no way I'd move him, but I do think they need to decide what position they want to develop him at and keep him there so he can gain some comfortability instead of bouncing him back and forth between 3B and SS.

If you're looking for a fantasy player in a very deep league consider Anderson De Los Santos. 

3rd baseman/shortstop for Orioles 1.

17 years old. 5'11" 185 lbs.

Batting .324/432/568.

37 at bats, 7 walks, 8 strikeouts. 2 homers.

3 errors at 3rd, 2 errors at short.

$350,000 bonus on Jan 15. Maikel Hernandez gets most of the starts at short for Orioles 1.

Maybe there is footage on YouTube.  Got their only hit today.

Well he's certainly off to a better start than the two bonus babies down there.

Baseball America has a new updated Top 30 prospect list for all teams.  The Orioles first 4 draft choices made their new list.

Cowser,Norby, Trimble and Rhodes.  They even commented on how they are slowly, steadily building their system.

Since free agent pitchers will not come here you wonder about the draft priorities, though.

The Pitching will come in trades of guys like Mullins, Mountcastle, and Hayes, because some of Stowers, Haskins, Cowser and Mundy are ready.

Tony has Rom at #10.  Alex Wells ahead of Rom tells me whoever did BAs list is really not current with the Orioles system.

Our only homegrown pitching prospects were drafted by Duquette.   Rodriguez, Hall, Rom

I tend to take a more favorable opinion of Duquette.  I think he was working in an impossible environment with a meddling old owner.

Just like my football team, the Dallas Cowboys.  A meddling old multibillionaire fool who appointed himself General Manager.

Not far off. Hall has control and injury problems. Rom has been putting up good numbers all season. With a healthy Hall, you could make the argument for Rom at #3. 

No issue with any of the above.  But he ain't #2. And I like Rom a good bit.  If you want to say he could be 3 than fine.  But Rodriguez and Hall are on another level. I think people really undersell how dominant Hall has been.

Is the 2020 draft looking that bad?  All things considered I think there is some hope that from where it stands right now that this time next year it could turn real fast.

1.  Kjerstad - The heart condition is bad luck for the O’s, but good luck for Kjerstad.  At least now he knows he has it.  If we can just get him playing that I think his skills will take over.

2A - Westburg -  A SS/3B whose been putting up a big overall OPS across two levels.  Playing a premium position as well. 

2. Haskin - A toolsy CF that is flirting with an .800 OPS after playing in two levels this year.  I’ll take that at a premium position.

3. Severido - He’s suffered some bad luck with an injury, but before that he was an OBP machine.  Again, playing a premium position at SS.

4. Mayo - 19 yo putting up a 1.000+ OPS currently while at least getting ran out there at 3B.  He’s putting up Mountcastle/Gunnar numbers so far in his debut season.  Even if he’s only a 1B, it looks like the bat will be there.

5. Baumler - TCU commit and one of the top prep arms.  Again, just some bad luck.  I’m not sure when he had TJ surgery, but if he could get some IP in at the FCL next year as a 20 yo, that would be huge.  
 

We’ve had some back luck with injuries but that happens.  Especially off a COVID year.  When these guys have been on the field they have looked real good.  If Baumler were pitching in the FCL right now, and Kjerstad was even putting up Westburg type numbers, we’d be talking about this draft as being great.  Just some bad injury luck so far.

      Injuries have sucked, the pen has been an issue but is Adley the biggest problem?

      By MDK02 · Posted

      If you want to see how young superstars should play, look at Churios and Merrill. Both big time contributors to their teams in the post season, both players 20 and 21 years of age. Meanwhile, our Jackson doesn’t even get an AB. Something is just off with this organization and their development..

      I agree with some of the opening post. I cannot blame Hyde for this team not hitting. I believe it is completely analytical based. Analytics are against singles, walks, hit and run or bunts.    I know we can pick our guy to be upset with but I will go with Tony Taters. Adley hit a single to RF and with the right effort and baserunning he should have been on third base. Don’t have to talk about the terrible AB with the bases loaded. There was another play with the Massey single in the second that rubbed me the wrong way. The ball was hit 73 MPH and landed 250 feet. The RF wall is 325 feet away so how far is he playing back against Michael Massey? Tony did not strike me of a guy giving it everything he had to get to a fly ball. He basically assumed Mullins would get it and jogged in.

      Sometimes I regret being an Oriole fan

      By OsFanSinceThe80s · Posted

      I would have taken this loss harder in the past guess I'm getting older. Also this team has been telegraphing for over a half season how this season would end. I don't want to hear stats on how many runs this team scored it's a lineup that lives and dies by the home run. The problem is the weather cools in October and the ball doesn't carry as well in summer at OPACY. The Orioles actually got good pitching, but the offense came up small yet again. Elias needs to rethink the types of hitters he has on the Orioles roster and evaluate the effectiveness of having two hitting coaches. There's even an offensive strategy coach and what exactly does he do? "Hey Adley next time you get up the plate try not to make an out".

      Completely agree and there's no reason the O's shouldn't be a serious player for Soto.  Him and one top starter and I'm happy.

      10/2 Orioles vs Royals Wild Card Game #2

      By Marshmellow · Posted

      Add a couple of seasoned professionals who know how to win. Solid players who have been around a while. These young guys are talented for sure, but that’s not enough. They need to learn to play better as a team and know what it takes to win consistently.  I honestly think they get caught up in reading about how good they are, not proving it on the field day after day.

      Except Cruz wasn’t an overpay. He’s the rare older free agent that actually earned his money. By the way, Cruz was the 55th highest paid player when he signed his FA deal after he played for the Orioles. He wasn’t even that expensive.    But that’s just an aside. I understand what you’re saying and your point is valid. I’m just still irked that the Orioles basically punted in that offseason that Cruz walked. I hope they are fiscally brave enough to take the next step and not count on Holliday and Mayo to improve next years team.
