I’m not trying to blow smoke up @Tony-OH’s ass but at least Tony researches.  He watches games, looks at the numbers and talks to people in the organization.   In other words, he puts effort into things.  What a crazy idea that is!
 

I would expect him to be more detailed than a national site covering every team but I also expect a national site to not be lazy and stupid.

This is just pathetic.

What wildcard said, they generally update after the signing deadline and then do again coming soon, don't pay attention exactly when, but wildcard is probably right. 

Read their report and looked at Mayo's numbers last year. High school kid who didn't make full season club out of ST last year, which he should have with his 2020 Draft peers. Played 53 games, 27 against competition more to what should be his level at Low A since he would have been behind this year at FCL.  Scouting report seems to be fair and he did put up good numbers at Delmarva, so my guess is he will be higher, but small sample size on guy they say has raw tools.

You realize that he was hurt, right? He had a leg injury that led to his later start of his season.

Did not. Didn't follow the lower levels as much as I used to last year with Frederick being gone. Even still small sample size for a raw, projectionable type player, I get the lower ranking. Even you gave him a current grade of 20 or 30, if I remember correctly and it looked like your ranking was based more on future value. Could be wrong. But to original point, I don't think it was a horrendous ranking/writeup.

      Some 9x stats

      Westburg exceeded rookie eligibility limits last year exceeding 130 at bats and more than 45 days on the active roster. On the plus side he might qualify as a super sophomore or at the very least avoid the sophomore slump.

      Westburg shouldn’t be, where are you seeing that?

      So since Westburg is apparently still ROY eligible, Cowser and Westburg may project to be the best rookie combination since Fred Lynn and Jim Rice in 1975?

      John Means 2024

      By Safelykept · Posted

      There were several and I was one them. I'm  on record as saying I was one of his biggest Apologists . You should feel good about yourself as you were able to see that Means would be imploding before our very eyes( which was an opinion or a guess, which is what I did) as far as feeling bad for me? Dont I'm plenty good enough to know I wont be able to guess right every time

      Orioles acquire Ryan O’Hearn

      Fantastic pickup by Elias and big kudos to O’Hearn for taking advantage of the resources to improve. He’s a great story.

      Given his injury history and what’s happening right now, Means may make more money as an Oriole next year than as a free agent. He may have to settle for league minimum as a FA but would do better than that in arbitration. Heck, unless he’s effective at least a little this year then the orioles might release him after the season to avoid paying more than league minimum. I hope Means recovers, very much so, but this scenario is possible imo.    ps. I guess I ignored the part where you said if Means thinks he is healthy.

      Jackson Holliday 2024

      By Billy F-Face3 · Posted

      What I'd like to see in the next game Holliday plays, is for him to keep his eyes following through on the ball when he swings. In the last game I saw, he was yanking his head off the zone when he swung and couldn't see the bat to the ball. He was missing wildly and it wasn't even competitive. So, keep your eye on the ball! Follow all the way through! If your swing is so violent that it's yanking your head off the sight of the ball, then adjust your mechanics because you can't hit what you can't see!
