I went with Hall, health be damned.  His stuff is incredible when he is on the bump.  If he can mature physically, and stay healthy, he may be our best pitcher.  I’ll go with the pure talent here.

This is why I voted Hall. His floor is Britton, right? ?

Tony had Hall 6th or 7th last year and I wouldn’t think a year where he had injuries and guys performed well would cause him to move up. Kjerstad won’t be there. Tony had Cowser #3 in his po

Dang it, I forgot how glowing Tony was in his praise of Mayo towards the end of the year.  I want to change my vote I think the next 2 for Tony will be Mayo and Cowser, in that order.  After tha

I just read the CC write up on Mayo, and although it was enthusiastic,  it complained about a high K-rate and lousy defense… so I’m back to Hall.

Probably wrong, though…

Is his K rate that high? 

I've got him at 18.5% K-rate across three levels last season, with a walk rate of 13.4% (this as a 19-year old).

Those numbers are roughly in line with Adley's career MiL numbers in both (not exactly apples-apples)

Yeah it’s under 20%. Pretty good for our current times.

Lots of great conversation in this thread. Just goes to show how truly informed you guys are on the Orioles prospect scene. Great job.

I won't give any clues about my choice in order to keep the conversation up and keep the voting genuine, but I'm just impressed by how knowledgeable you guys are on our prospects overall.

I voted for Hall over Mayo. I have no idea who Tony will pick, but I feel like Hall could be the choice because both Hall and Mayo have a fair amount of risk at this point and Cowser played at a low level without showing much power.
 

Despite Hall’s elbow issue and the limited sample, I can’t ignore 15.9 K/9 and 3.5 K/BB. Admittedly, I’ve always been high on Hall because I think his stuff is elite, and worry less about the command concerns. I am very curious to see if Cowser is the pick here and where he will end up because I seem to recall Tony having some concerns regarding Cowser’s power output and potential, and the impact that will have on his ability to get on base as he rises.

“The report says Mayo struggles with consistent contact and is a big swinger that strikes out a good amount, and the statistics suggest as much. Playing 27 games - exactly one-sixth of a big-league season - Mayo struck out 26 times, a 156-whiff pace for 162 games. Considering that that came against Single-A pitching, contact will assuredly be a point the Orioles stress in his development.”

Math isn’t my strong point but figuring 600 ABs, that’s about 25% K rate.

Why would the percentage change based on increased totals?

I chose Gunnar.  As a 19 yo he went 3 levels.  Struggled for the first time in High A but figured it out and still put up very nice numbers for his age.  Consider this, he was years younger than average age at all 3 levels.  It's the same reason i think highly of Hernaiz.  All these middle infielder prospects will eventually be either a) washed out, b) prosper and become mainstays, or c) be traded for missing pieces, ie, PITCHING.

In those 27 games, he had 26 Ks in 125 PA, so a 20.8% K-rate. He had 14 K in his 91 FCL plate appearances (15.4%).

He was 2.2-years younger than league average for single-A Delmarva, so I'm not sure that's some massive red flag by any stretch.

Well they extrapolated out to 156 Strikeouts in 162Games and I just figured what percentage of 600 is 156, assuming 600 at bats in 162 games

Fangraphs will do all the math for you..

His K rate was 20.8% at Delmarva while be one of the youngest players in the league.

      Cowser's hand fracture

      It would be foolish to discount Burnes value to this team. He needs to be brought back unless the cost becomes absurd.

      Goodbye Brandon Hyde!

      By gtman55 · Posted

      I do get tired of his post game press conferences where he praises the other team's pitching profusely. He definitely isn't fiery, that's for sure. But having said that, he likely isn't getting fired. But, his seat is getting pretty warm and if we don't take the next step in the playoffs next year, he's likely gone.  As much as some of his in game decisions drive me crazy, he isn't the one taking the feeble at bats. The three pitching coaches ( I think they call one guy the offensively coordinator or something) need to go.

      One thing I noticed and don’t care for is…….” We have Bautista coming back so we don’t need to sign All-star FA closer “  and “ since we have Elfin coming back we dont need resign Burnes “ and “ we have Bradish returning from injury so why we need another FA starter ? “  My point is that we can’t count on Bautista , Bradish , Wells , Means & others to return and pick up where they left off .  I advocate Elias to strike hard and fast during upcoming Free Agency season .

      Hey man, It breaks my heart that the O’s destroyed our season of hope. Hyde’s got to go. Watching those post-game excuses and lack of fire is not good for inspiration - club house or fans!. Pathetic. Call out stuff, not play victim. Apparently every team had amazing pitching! (Eye roll). A re-set is going to happen. A few more guys getting experience, a few guys going away, and revamping that horrible bullpen. Easy moves: let Santander walk, don’t waste money on LT contracts for SP - even Burnes, get Alex Bregman! , get more speed!

      Where are the pollyannas?

      By Emory Eagle · Posted

      Division is going to be tough next year.  Rays have reloaded, Red Sox have a new core in place and will likely supplement with a big Fa splash or two, and the Yankees will continue to be the Yankees. Ultimately O’s success or lack thereof will rest on the improvement of their young positional talent, but seems like we need to add some kind of weapon vs left handed pitching.  And will need to either replace or resign Burnes, not something easy to do without significant financial investment.
