More Prospects to know for 2022


Tony-OH

Recommended Posts

The thread title says 2023 but I think you mean 2022.

I like the convention of listing the players alphabetically by first name.   The Abu Dhabi phone book is organized that way.   The “Ahmed” and “Mohamed” listings take up 2/3 of the phone book!

Poor Adam Hall can’t even make the top 49.   ?

Thanks for all the work you’ve put into your scouting Tony! Have you heard anything about Dylan Heid? I know he went to instructional camp after the season, but he didn’t pitch for us after we drafted him. 

Thanks.

Pitchers really aren't throwing to batters from what I heard so not much on him or any pitcher. I assume he will start 20022 with Delmarva. It will be interesting to see what role he's in when it does.

High strikeout, low walk total for a guy with well below average power and then you add in that he doesn't bring in any defensive value any where. Just not a guy for me. Maybe he's one of those guy that hits AA and hits better, but he needs to up his game in many areas.

@Tony-OHhow good is Grenier's glove?  If you had to comp him to a big leaguer, what do you think could be fair?

Or, I guess...is the glove special?  

It's not special, but just really steady. He can make all the plays and while he's not flashy, he'd be a solid average major league shortstop and above average second baseman.

Along the same lines of Heid, is Trendon Craig just a guy that you haven't had a chance to get information about at this point? Seems like a guy who could shoot up prospect lists next year just based on the hype.

He's a $250K 20th rounder which makes him interesting enough to follow, but not enough to know whether he's worth really watching next year. He certainly could get himself on the scene with a good year in Delmarva next year.

    • I too was *this* pissed off yesterday. I'm sympathetic. But the reality of the situation is that Kansas City played out of their minds defensively and baseball happened.  Now, this was a microcosm of the second half of the season and that's just a fact. They dealt with injuries, just like every team does... they just didn't deal with them very effectively. I'm not sure if casting blame upon the hitting coaches or Hyde really holds any water for me. But I understand the desire for a scapegoat. It was REALLY hard to watch batter after batter trying to hit a 13 run home run on pitches that weren't really all that close to the strike zone. They were way out of their lanes and it was patently obvious that panic was setting in. I felt like it was a basketball game and Hyde needed to call a timeout or something. Like they needed to be snapped out of it or something, maybe by something drastic like, oh, putting Jackson Holliday in there for an at bat in an important spot.  They hit a lot of balls at guys, they swung at bunch of BS repeatedly. I saw it from Mountcastle, Santander, Henderson, Cowser (embarrassingly so), McCann during game 1, Rutschman too.  The only thing I could maybe blame Hyde for is not successfully alleviating the panic. Baseball's different though... I'm just a slapdick fan, I have no idea what the realities of his job are. But that lineup needed to find a way to relax and the further the game went the more they freaked out. It was the opposite of a loose dugout. It was fear, panic and foreboding doom. Is it even possible to snap that group out of it? I dunno. The veterans were the ones (other than Mullins) that were pressing the most. I think I would have found a way to get Holliday or Kjerstad some meaningful at bats. Yeah, maybe that's Monday morning quarterbacking. Maybe they would have reacted the same way the rest of them did.  They couldn't have been worse...  
    • Ok I’m changing this a little. Don’t know O’Hearn is worth the 8 mil.. Maybe we can replace. I’m actually pretty juiced at the potential of this and all of these guys are overdue for regular ABs together.    CF Mullins 3B Westburg C Adley SS Gunnar LF Cowser DH O’hearn/Mayo 1B Mountcastle  RF Kjerstad 2B Holliday Util: Mayo (regular DH platoon, spot starts in the field, Mateo (speed/defense)  
    • Honestly, they need to fix the right field wall too.  It is too ridiculous and screws with the right-handed hitters.  Move it in 10 feet and lower it a bit.
    • I said it before, and I'll say it again. This Royals team is entirely a function of their starting pitching (Ragans, Lugo, Wacha, Singer) and their recent BP arm pickups/conversions (Erceg, Bubic, Lynch, etc.). Their offense is basically Witt, Pasq, and Perez. I was pretty confident that the O's could shut them down going into this series, and they did. They only scored 3 runs. And none of their run scoring hits were all that amazing...if at all. The issue, of course, was the offense. Was that because of the pitching? Personally I thought Ragans looked hittable. He pitched better than Lugo, but the O's came up tiny in RISP situations. Same as yesterday. Ragans and Lugo mostly pitched out of the zone, and the O's just were aggressive. So, in this regard, give the credit to the Royals scouts and analytics teams. They knew exactly how to pitch to Santander: up, up, up. They knew exactly how to pitch to Cowser: low changeups. They knew exactly how to pitch to everybody not named Cedric Mullins. This Royals club is half decent, and if this O's club was the 2023 team, they shellack them. Alas, here we are. Think the Yankees are going to railroad these guys if they aren't rusty. 
    • He was developed according to the Orioles'  development plan.
    • Ryan Mountcastle avoiding getting hit in his dick with a pitch while trying to hold up his swing was infuriating.  
    • For the most part, no. The biggest thing a manager does is the culture they set and what they do off the field.  By all accounts, the players like Hyde, the culture is good and the team is happy with him. Now, if there is something there that we don’t know about, by all means make the change. However,  if every report is true, I see no reason to make a change. That’s making a change just to make a change. I would rather focus on the on field than assume some ceremonial change at manager is going to matter. Its been studied and we have talked about it a lot but in game strategy is so similar that its really only a game or two in terms of “manager WAR”.
