Hernaiz is the one guy on this list who I think could be considerably higher.   I'd have him over Dante Williams or Joey Ortiz for example, prospects with utility upside.   He's still only 20 years old and putting up gaudy numbers at Delmarva. 

 

I don't think Ortiz would be ranked where he is if his upside was utility.   That's probably a reasonable outcome for him but I think there is hope that if the bat is more like what he showed in limited games last year, that there is still starter SS upside.

There are obviously going to be some changes since the last power rankings, but I've decide to not make another one this season. I've begun work on the final top 30 so I'm going to focus on that.

Notes: Think of these rankings like an unofficial prospect rankings that will be adjusted throughout the year. To be eligible for the rankings, a player must still be considered a rookie by MLB standa

Bad luck for our secondary group of arms this year. I see that Peek, Brnovich, and Rom, all are on the IL. Anything serious?

Pinto and Velez are struggling. 

Baumler still hasn’t debuted. 
 

The pitching is looking really thin right now. Not much behind GR and Hall. 

Brnovich is having TJ surgery, or did.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see Hernaiz creep up into the top 15-20 by year end.  Pretty good start for the young man!

If he does it will be because of attrition mor than he suddenly blossomed into a real top prospect. I have defensive concerns with him and would like to see him hit something other ambushing fastballs in fastball counts.

If we're not supposed to start a thread for every fringe-y type player, I guess this is the thread to talk about these guys? Let me know if there's a better option.

But Adam Hall is having a decent little season. Little weak in the power department to say the least, but he's hitting .300 with a .389 OBP in Bowie. Currently on the 7-day IL for who knows what reason, but. Just thought it was worth giving him a shout since I had pegged him as a complete bust. 

I don't think he's any kind of answer, but if Martin or Bannon get an extended look with the O's, I'd like to see him up at Norfolk instead of guys like Cullen or Graffanino.

After a good start, Hall has OPS'd .633 with a 28.8% K rate and no power in his last 30 days although that covers just 59 PAs because of going on the IL. 

I will say I like him a bit defensively in the outfield though and he does bring 4th outfielder skills of speed and defense, but I'm not sure the bat plays enough still.

He very well may move over them shortly if they don't pick it up.

DL Hall's 3rd spot under any pressure from Gunnar?    Nice problem to have!

Here's hoping Bradish this week follows up strong.   Obviously we have them all long term but curious if he can hold his own with the Yankees and Rays this week if Cowser-Mayo type leapfrogs could happen.

I agree with this list a lot.  The only thing I question is if maybe Stowers and Cowser should be another couple of pegs down behind Westburg and Bradish.   Either Cowers or Stowers could get hot again but for a pure power rankings, Westburg showed signs of breaking out of his slump, Bradish has looked A+.     Westburg even with his slump still has some decent numbers in other areas.     Stowers hit his 4th homer yesterday and that's his biggest strength.  Coswer is hitting .250 with little power.

      12 Questions for the Offseason

      By Warehouse · Posted

      On #1: the question is whether all of Mayo, Kjerstad, Cowser, and Holliday have everyday roles or if are some platooned or held back in Norfolk or traded? If they all play everyday, there’s not really a meaty role to offer to a new bat. In the various post-mortems, this seems to be one of the biggest points of differences among posters.  Some want no logjams while others want one or more proven MOO professional hitters and don’t want to rely on Holliday or Mayo. My view is in the middle of the spectrum. I think at least one of Cowser or Mullins needs to sit vs. LHP, so we need a lefty masher capable of playing left field at Camden.  I think we may consider trading Mounty to make room for Mayo.

      12 Questions for the Offseason

      I find #8 to be an interesting one. On the one hand, McCann seems well-liked, he brings some toughness and veteran presence, and he actually had his best offensive season since 2020. At 35, you can probably have him for a 1 year deal if you want. And Basallo isn't really that close to coming up and catching just yet. He's a deep 2nd half kind of callup if you need him. And it's not like the free agent backup catcher market is much better than McCann. On the other hand, I have a sour taste in my mouth from game 1 where he couldn't make contact with men on base. Adley certainly didn't get any better under his wise tutelage. And maybe there are guys out there who surpass McCann defensively and bring a different wrinkle to the clubhouse. So I wouldn't be mad about a change.

      How does Povich fit into your 2025 plans?

      By RVAOsFan · Posted

      This is my thought process regarding the pitching staff next season, ideally we resign Burnes but if not another TOR like Snell or Fried need to be signed this offseason.  Eflin GRod and Kremer are a really solid 2,3,4 the 5 spot is open to competition but realistically there will probably be some injuries or fatigue that require all of these guys contributing.

      12 Questions for the Offseason

      1. Where on the spectrum should Elias anchor between “let the kids play” vs. “sign proven bats”? 2. How do we get a right-handed bat to come here given Walltimore? 3. How many years do you think we should be willing to commit to a starting pitcher?  Where do you expect Elias to fall? 4. Between vets, rookies, and prospects, who can we trade / should we trade / do we trade for pitching or a bat? 5. What budget will ownership give to Elias? To what extent will he max out on his constraint? 6. What coaching and front-office personnel changes should/will we make? What about infrastructure or changes to org philosophies? 7. Whom, if anyone, should we try to extend, considering their agent and what they will likely demand financially?  8. For backup catcher, do we re-up McCann or go in a different direction? 9. Does it make sense to sign a blue chip reliever given the spotty track record of those signings (e.g., of 25 relievers signing for > $3MM last year, 2 had WAR of at least 0.5 in both fWAR and bWAR)? 10. Does Elias make any outside-the-box moves  (e.g., convert Akin to SP, sign a FA infielder, move JH to CF, find the next Suarez)?
