What we know. He's a big bonus kid who had great exit velocities in high school. He didn't hit last year in the FCL. He looks out of shape but apparently has a strong arm. He was held back to start this season.

That doesn't inspire confidence, but there's a ton we don't know too, so to say it's concerning is correct. To say the story isn't written yet is also correct. 

We also know that Tony doesn't just look at box scores and come up with opinions. If someone gave him reason to think highly of Willems, he would probably be giving more benefit of the doubt. My assumption is nobody's come to Tony and said that this kid is very good. Just an assumption though.

It appears Creed Willems is heading to Delmarva.

Gillaspie was promoted to Norfolk, then to Baltimore after three appearances.   McLarty was promoted from Aberdeen to Bowie.    There might be others.   Those are two I noticed.

Earliest was after 19-20 games.   There was another wave at 35-36 games.

lol... Nah, I remember my fails as well. Luis Jimenez, Radhmas Liz, Chance Sisco (though I did jump off his badwagon faster than others) were all guys I saw personally and ranked top ten at some point. I would say Billy Rowell, but honestly once I saw him live a bit, I dropped him before most others and by Frederick, I was convinced he was not a prospect.

I mean, it's not like I argued that Jeff Fiorentino was a prospect after Syd ridiculously jumped him from High-A to the big leagues. ;)

Funny you mention Liz.   I believe our debate was over the fact that you ranked Liz higher than Fiorentino on your top 30 list, I think after the 2005 season when Fio made his premature debut.  As it ended up, Liz pitched 133 innings at a career ERA of 6.94 for -1.8 rWAR, while Fiorentino had 173 PA at a career OPS of .666, for 0.7 rWAR.   Not exactly the Battle of the Titans!

Bumping this because I feel like promotions must be imminent. 

They MUST be! 

Travel costs between Bowie and Norfolk (and Aberdeen and Bowie) are too expensive.  Management is waiting until gas prices come down.

Have there really been no promotions in May so far?

Technically, Rico Garcia was promoted from Bowie to Norfolk. However, he's 28 and was most likely in AA because he hasn't pitched since 2019 (AA and AAA that year). 

In terms of actual prospect movement, no, I don't believe we've seen one yet. Unless you count Creed Willems getting added to Delmarva. 

ML-wise, Vespi and Bradish count as true promotions. I don't really count Nevin, who debuted last year and is mostly here because he's more versatile than Gutierrez. I don't count Bannon because he was here as an injury replacement and quickly optioned. I expect that will also be the case for Gillaspie once pitcher limits are enforced again on May 29, but that's a wait and see for me.

Annoyingly, due to the 13 inning game, Gillaspie and Vespi were optioned for Mountcastle and Baumann. They'll be back soon, especially Vespi.

Can't wait until both are back up.  Loved watching them pitch last night.

Promotions incoming today with the minor league offday. This tweet is either referencing Prieto to AA or Henderson to AAA, but hopefully both! I agree with others in another thread that Martin will replace Owings and help create room for Henderson. Martin is playing lights out at AAA and clearly deserves to be on the ML squad as the bench SS.

Prieto had an off day on Sunday. Maybe an extra day to travel and then rest up for his debut at the next level. I have tickets for Bowie on Friday. Selfishly I hope to get a look at Prieto along with Westburg and Henderson but hopefully will get at least two of the three!

If it’s Prieto, you almost have to promote someone in Bowie to Norfolk. The Bowie IF is already at capacity.

It's official.  Prieto is joining Bowie.

Since Henderson is staying in Bowie for now, I guess Henderson, Westburg, Ortiz and Prieto will be rotating between 2B, SS, 3B and DH? Will we see any of them play OF or 1B?

      Poll - Would you trade McDermott for Scherzer straight up?

      By emmett16 · Posted

      I don't like the idea of moving an arm we have under control for 6 years for an arm we would have under control for 3 months.  Especially since there are a ton of question marks on that arm of the 3 month rental.  I think McDermott could be a pretty special pitcher if things fall into place.  I'd hold on to that lottery ticket.  I'd look to move someone else at a position of redundancy.

      Grow the Bats? Grow the Arms? Both? Neither?

      By baltfan · Posted

      I thought you were talking about possible selections a team could have made.  For example, the Nats could have taken Harper and Realmuto.  Or the Orioles could have had Machado and Realmuto.  Now I see what you are saying though.  You are saying the Orioles had the best draft of the past 20 years and that draft was heavy in good position players so it was smart for them to take that tact.  At first, I thought you were arguing the Orioles got lucky because the 2019 draft was particularly strong and in no draft of the past 20 years could one team have gotten two players of the caliber of Adley and Gunnar at the positions that the Orioles chose.

      John Smoltz on why pitchers are "breaking" and what we should do about it..

      By baltfan · Posted

      I completely agree with this.  Most of this damage has already been done.  Travel teams have ruined many kids and have left others far more susceptible to injury in the minors and majors.

      Do Jon Miller and/or Gary Thorne belong in the Orioles Hall of Fame?

      By Philip · Posted

      I only heard Mel Proctor when he was working the Rangers games, and I really liked him. I don’t remember whether he worked with Dick Risenhoover or Mark Holtz, but I think he worked with Mark Holtz, although he was on his own for a little while, but I really liked him.

      So, who WOULD you trade?

      By Il BuonO · Posted

      Just getting caught up here, so my first reaction to trading JW is NOOOOOO! However, I think most people around baseball would have to agree that he's a dude. He's become my favorite Oriole just because of his approach at the plate and also his workman-like attitude. Leaving out my preferences and putting on my front office hat I have to admit he would be attractive to other teams for his ability to play three positions in the IF and his steady performance with the bat. And unlike Holliday, he's proven himself.  While Holliday is the more high profile guy to other teams I'm not sure he's seen as more valuable. JW can play SS-has the arm for it-and he's versatile. I think Holliday could learn to play 2B but has neither the arm for 3B or SS. He likely has more range and as earlier stated by another poster, some team may want to try him at SS. Maybe that works, maybe it doesn't.  I feel like I'm making the case to keep JW and trade JH. Back to the question, which guy gets the Orioles what they need to be the favorite going into the playoffs? Number one pick or a guy who's a ML starter right now? Let's set that aside, maybe it's either one. Can either of them get us Skubal in the right package? Yes. That's the guy who IS a ML pitcher and who will move the needle. What's the package? Elias has earned some level of baseball knowledge with the Burnes trade and the trade that sent Bundy to the Angels when Elias first arrived. That one was even more evidence of his ability to read the tea leaves. So, I trust he'll make it work. I may not like the immediate results (i.e. trading Westy or Kjerstad), but if he can get Skubal in the right deal I'd make the deal. But Scherzer is a good back up and won't cost nearly as much.
