I'm going to keep voting DL Hall until he wins one of these polls.

I’d like to have a talk with whoever selected Baumann at #5

I’m going to stick with the idea that Hall was ranked lower than 5th last year and after being hurt, he didn’t play enough to jump up the list. I think Hall will be 6th.  Im going Gunnar here.

I think we can pretty safely rule out Baumann and Kjerstad here

Honestly, I could see the case for Hall, Henderson or Westburg. Tony has had Henderson ahead of Westburg pretty much all year, so I'm going to eliminate Westburg. Game then becomes which hurts the guy more in Tony's eyes? Hall being injured for most of the year or Westburg's poor defense. If I could have only one of these guys in the system, I'd pick Hall because the upside is tantalizing and we really need starting pitching. I'm going to guess Tony feels the same, but I still have a strong hunch it's Henderson.

Going with "Disabled List" Hall here.

I really have no idea where Kjerstad should be ranked.  I’m guessing that the next 2 are Hall and Westburg.

At that point, you have Stowers, Norby and Kjerstad, along with guys like Pinto, Baumann and Bradish.  (Not to mention, a guy like Basillo)

I would guess Kjerstad gets into the top 10.

Quite frankly, a healthy Hall has a case to be #2 but we need to see it first.

Agree with all of this.  I think Tony has Gunner here.

Agree on Hall as well.  I had him above Rodriguez for a long time, but just due to the fact that Rodriguez has been healthy I bumped him above.  A lot of risk with Hall for sure, but the upside there is perennial CY contender if he can harness everything.

Hall was impressive this year and I'm not under the impression that his injury carries long term risk. That and Gunnar's up and down year makes me have Hall here. Westburg just doesn't have age or massive upside on his side.

You could argue that this rebuild could really hinge on Hall's health. If he turns into what he has the potential to turn into, it becomes a lot easier to fill out a great pitching staff after Rodriguez, Hall and Means at the top.

He only pitched 31 innings. How impressive could he be. I’d say this was another lost season for Hall.

I also think it's between Hall and Gunnar.  I went with Hall, because lefties with his kind of stuff are golden, so even if he doesn't stick as a starter, he's a valuable player, and he could very well stick as a starter.  He's a valuable commodity.

      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.
