We have talked about the top 30 for couple weeks now and if a guys should be higher or lower.  But who is the guy each of you see as a guy you expected on the list but didn’t make it or a guy you think could make huge jump into the top 30 next year.

I'd say Zach Peek would be my top snub, followed by JD Mundy.  Both showed pretty good numbers as they begin to approach the upper minors.  I'm sure Tony has reasons for omitting them, but I would have thought that they would have found their way on to the back end of the list.

Off the top of my head, I would probably go Moises Ramirez.

Yeah, you could make a case for any of those international guys - Ramirez, De Los Santos, Lara - I think those guys are still so far away that I get why they're not there yet though.

Peek and Mundy are good ones.  Completely forgot about Peek especially. 

I would take Servideo out…Peek or Ramirez in.  Still likely give Ramirez the nod.  To be honest, I’m not sure Baumann makes my top 30.  I would have to think about it.

Agreed.  But since Tony did have some of them listed, there is is some precedence.  

That being said, I wouldn’t call it a snub either.  A snub suggests a mistake and I wouldn’t call it a mistake.

It’s nice that we can actually have this discussion.

Who would you remove though?  Servideo jumps out to me as someone to take off.  Not sure who else.

Like I said, I would seriously consider Baumann.

Even Bautista.  He’s got a good reliever profile but he’s not exactly young either.  And he hasn’t shown much up until this season.

I think Mundy is top 20

I thought about it some and I think I would go Brnovich as my guy just because he put up solid numbers at both levels.  I know the stuff isn’t top notch or anything but when you are starter with a whip just above 1 and have 125ks to 26BB in 95 innings you have to know how to pitch.

Damn, forgot about him too.  Good call .

Those are good picks. Would also add Zach Watson.

Kind of boring but also Alex Wells. Still very solid AAA numbers. Disappointed in promotion to MLB but arguably better body of work than Lowther who is still top 15. Seems kinda harsh to drop him out of the top 30 altogether.

Other than the names already mentioned here, I’d add Neustrom.   Tony has explained why he omitted him, but he had a solid year and is only a step from the majors.

      I think whether Holliday is ready to be the O's 2B is TBD. Same with Mayo at DH/1B and Kjerstad in RF.  All TBD. Holliday was no doubt sent home to work on fielding balls to his right at 2B.  At the end of the season he was probably the 4th best O's 2B.   Urias, Westy and Mateo were all ahead of him defensively and probably offensively.  In fairness 2B is a new position to Hollliday and with practice he probably gets better.  Holliday ceiling is probably the highest of the four. Mayo was probably sent home to work on his defense at 1B.   Elias has not prepared him well to play 1B in the majors.   Stubbornly playing him too much at 3B and then after the season ended saying that his body type fits best at 1B.  How he looks at 1B in ST probably is a big factor in where to starts the season.  Right now its TBD. Interestingly Callis and Jonathan Mayo have tagged Cody Mayo as the favorite to be Rookie of the Year.   For that to happen he probably has to  play in the majors pretty early in the year. Kjerstad is the furtherest along of the three in winning a position with the O's.   His spot is Corner OF/DH.   The outstanding factor is who is the right-handed outfielder Elias keeps talking about adding? Moving the LF fence in is a clear sign that Mounty is the O's starting 1B.   He is among the leagues best fielding 1B and he had 33 homers before the fence was moved back.    Whether O'Hearn or Mayo is Mounty backup at 1B is TBD based on how much Mayo improves.   O'Hearn's defense is not a high bar to match. So whether Holliday, Mayo or Kjerstad have more to prove at AAA is really a function of their improvement and what moves Elias makes this offseason.   Its TBD because AAA is where you go when another player beats a player with options out for a spot on the Orioles roster. By July I think all three players are in the majors with the O's.   How they get there is TBD.  JMO.

      Why NOT trade Mayo et al?

      By Winter · Posted

      I agree with this take, we want to be more like the Astros aka long term contention and not the Blue Jays.

      Elias is definitely A master of building a franchise from nothing to contention. We will see how he does without his high draft picks. I have a feeling we’re in for a lot of disappointment this off-season. I hope I’m wrong.

      By ShoelesJoe · Posted

      Player A stats at AAA -- .279 / .376 / .543 with a K rate 24.2% and a BB rate of 12.5% while 22 years old Player B stats at AAA -- .260 / .355 / .585 with a K rate 25.9% and a BB rate of 11% while 23 years old   Player A is Coby Mayo.  Player B is Pete Alonso. That's why you don't trade Mayo unless you're getting an absolute haul in return.

      Plenty to chew on in Melewski's column for all but the most ardent Rogers permahater.

      By maybenxtyr · Posted

      Almost any player should be available if a trade makes sense. Also, there has to be a balance of wanting a 5 or 6 year window of contention,  or hopefully extending the window by having some potential top tier players to bring up later. The cupboard is getting thin.
