Went with the infielder again in this spot. Next years group will be just as interesting after we add a 1:1 and this year’s draft class gets their first full season.

Little surprised to see Stowers went #7, so I will still say Westburg here. But I think only Bradish is out of the running for this spot of the names listed above.

I’m not worried about the organizational fodder.  I’m talking about the ML Players that are blocking some of these guys…players like Mancini and Santander, for example.

Mancini will be gone either this off season or next. Santander can’t even get his OBP over .300 and is prone to injury so the further he gets into arbitration the more likely it is he is DFA. I don’t think Santander is on this team come 2023. Add to the mix that Hays has injury problems and Mullins needs to show he is actually good and it wasn’t an outlier year…there is plenty of opportunity to go around.

For me, the top 9 were pretty legit to rank. From 10 on there's a lot of things to consider and really I could start group these guys into groups of things I like and things that concern me. 

Having 8 to 9 legitimate prospects who could be average to impact major leaguers with a whole host of guys still with some upside to become that is pretty darn good.

Agreed on the top 9 - not going to say who 8 and 9 are, but I think it's clear.

I don't think there is going to be much debate on 8 and 9 other than the order between the two. I think #10 will get a wide variety of votes.

Seems Tony's considering Kjerstad here. I can't argue it. I have zero clue where I'd put him.

Right, everyone should get 9 right when the time comes.  10 is where you can start playing all kinds of games on us.  Looking forward to it.

What I am interested in is whether we have enough surplus, and that surplus is valuable enough to start making trades for the present instead of for the future. Santander Has flaws, but he has virtues as well, maybe packaging him with one of our extra but good prospects might bring something worthwhile back?

Mainly, I just want to start making acquisitions for the present, so we can when 85 games next year instead of 65.

I guess it depends what you mean by worthwhile. A reliever that's good but expensive? Probably not in our range, but Santander might get that back.

An impact starter. Add Santander to one of our 3-9 prospects and you might get it done.

Depending on the starter and the controllability, I would certainly entertain dealing Henderson and Santander (as an example) for an "impact starter". That said, the starter would need to be young and controllable. You do that and start dreaming on rotation that could be 4 deep before supplementing it (including Means, Rodriguez and Hall--with others providing depth like Baumann, Bradish, etc.) by 2023. Add a solid mid-rotation free agent to the list this year or next and you have a formidable rotation with some depth.

Not to mention hopefully Kjerstad will have a chance to show what he’s got in real games and could move up this list real fast.

      Who is going to end up the best career catcher? Wieters or Rutschmann.

      By Gurgi · Posted

      Baring injury Adley gets more War. Who do you want up to bat in a winner take all playoff game? Who do you want behind the plate with a Rickey Henderson type on first base in a tie ballgame 9th inning? I really bought into the switch hitting Jesus thing with Wieters.  This disappointment (perhaps misguided) led me to really not want to use a 1/1 draft pick on a catcher.   I am kind of wishing we went with Witt.   I think I heard people saying the most important position on defense is catcher.  So how does it compare to SS or Centerfield.   Would you be better off using Rick Dempsey type all glove and arm with light bat or going all in on a 1/1 on a catcher? If this has already been discussed tons dont yell at me I sometimes go months or weeks without posting.

      Glad Bob Melvin and I don’t see eye to eye on that issue Well said, that make two of us, Bunting Ced down 5-3 with nobody out that late in the game is absurd.

      Sorry to hear this--wishing you a sound recovery, in time for the O's run to the Series! (That would speed up the healing!)

      Anthony Santander 2024

      By maybenxtyr · Posted

      Santander is a good case for the Rule V draft. That's unfortunately the same system that's going to make his next contract potentially look bad. If only he were a couple of years younger. It's hard to commit 25+M to a player at 30+. He's going to be missed in Baltimore, on the field and by the fans, but he's someone that they're going to have to let move on.

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      By sevastras · Posted

      While I agree and find your comment funny, maybe just say something along the line of”Don’t give up on this team” or “Quite being Debbie downers” instead of assuming they are projecting the own misery in their lives. People might take it better if it doesn’t feel like a personal attack. Either way, that win felt good and I HOPE this is finally the turning point going into the playoffs soon.

      I've made it clear that if they don't sign Santa and Burnes I'm ok with it as long as the money is allocated to other players they feel that fits their profile better .You know you have people on here like SG who only hears what he wants to hear. I need to learn to ignore that guy.
