Is our Farm system really near the upper eschelon?

[crowmst3k!]

I'm very encouraged by the batting eye that some of our guys have at Bowie.  

Patrick Dorrian is only batting around 240-250, but with an OBP of 380+, and he has some pop.  I don't know how he is in the field, but if he's serviceable or better, I could see him has a good solution for 5 sometime next year.  

Grenier isn't hitting really well, but his OBP is close to 100 above his average, and may be a good utility guy in the future.  

Terrin Vavra looks to be the 4 of the future, but he needs to get/stay healthy.  

Kyle Stowers looks like a legit power OF, and also has a good batting eye.  

You gotta give credit to the development staff and to Buck Britton. Bowie has a lot of guys who are patient at the plate, who I am very excited to see in Baltimore in the future.  

Edit: I hope that Buck Britton eventually becomes the Orioles manager. And maybe after Zack retires, I would love to see him come back in some capacity as a coach. Both guys have been very valuable to the Orioles.

Notes:

Top 100 Prospects (4): Adley Rutschman, C (1); Grayson Rodriguez, RHP (9); DL Hall, LHP (43); Gunnar Henderson, SS (85) 

“This is the highest-ever ranking for an Orioles' farm system. The development of RHP Kyle Bradish and 3B Jordan Westburg has helped bolster a top-heavy system led by baseball's No. 1 prospect, C Adley Rutschman.“

Thought the blurb was interesting. Westburg and Bradish are guys that get a lot of praise here but not so much in national media. I still think Cowser is a better prospect then some of the back end top 100 guys so hopefully he shows well in Delmarva.
