The DSL season began today, with Baltimore Black falling 8-7 and Orange losing 5-2.   For Black, Leandro Arias went 2 for 4 with a double and a walk, while Braylin Tavera went 1 for 3 with a walk and 2 RBI.   None of the other higher profile signings did anything of note.

Orioles Black beat Diamondbacks 13 to 1. Improve to 12.and 18. Switch hitting 2nd baseman Eron Estrada goes 3 for 3 with his 4th double.  They hit him with a pitch too.  Maybe throwing at him ?

Just the fact they pitched him in the season opener they must think pretty highly of him. And he showed why with his performance.

I remember the big name was Braylin Tavera.  The other outfielders I remember were Thomas Sosa and Jean Mata.  But who is Raylin Ramos?

The 17 year old outfielder is 3-4 today with a home run and 2 stolen bases.   Was this guy a 6 figure bonus player?   Too lazy to look it up right now.

Tavera and Leandro Arias looking OK so far.

He was part of the most recently signed DR class in the January 2022. I don't remember what his bonus was or if it was mentioned.

You're not THAT lazy, RZ.  In the Draft forum there's a signing tracker for the INTL guys, Ramos is in there.

From the tracker on this year's signings. 

The Orioles 2022 J2 signing class:

Braylin Tavara (CF) bonus $1.7 million million (video) - "He is one of the most well-rounded players in this year’s class and has a chance to be a five-tool player with above-average grades in the future.

At the plate, the lean and athletic 16-year-old shows a good approach and sound fundamentals with improving pitch recognition. Like most prospects his age, Tavera’s swing is a work in progress, but he already has good bat-to-ball skills and emerging power that projects to be a plus tool. He can run now, and the run tool is also expected to be a plus tool if he continues to develop at a normal pace. He continues to improve as a defender.

“He does everything easily and effortlessly,” Koby Perez said. “He is a player who was highly coveted by most of the teams in the league, and a lot of it had to do with us offering an opportunity. Us not having given out these types of bonuses in our history, it makes the player, you know, feel special to be the highest-paid international player. I think that really helped us land Braylin, because there was definitely a lot of competition for his services. He ranks No. 18 on Baseball America’s listing of the highest projected signing bonuses in this class and No. 22 on MLBPipeline.com’s listing of the top 50 international prospects. ”

César Prieto - 22-year-old Cuban infielder ( $650,000) (video) - "The athletic Prieto has shown good instincts, and the ability to play multiple infield positions. Think of him as a super-utility player. For now, it’s Prieto’s bat, not his glove, that provides him most value despite questions about his power. He’s considered an average defender at second base with room for improvement."

Leandro Arias (SS) - (video) Switch hitter ($600,00) - "Arias, a switch-hitting shortstop, has power potential from both sides of the plate. He has shown good bat-to-ball skills and has been praised for his overall hitting ability, including his advanced approach at the plate. His emerging run tool projects to be solid to average. The 16-year-old is still fine-tuning his actions on defense, but is expected to have enough arm strength and the skills necessary to keep him at shortstop as he makes his way through the Minors. Arias was ranked as the No. 46 prospect on the MLBPipeline.com top 50 prospects list. He’s a 16-year-old switch-hitter who gets 50 and 55 grades from MLBPipeline.com.  "

Edwin Amparo (SS) - (video) switch hitter ($650,00) - Very similar to Arias. Can play Short. Targeted him early. Has the arm to stick at short. Once considered a 7 figure player.

Thomas Sosa (OF) - (video) ($400,000) - Really like the approach, bat to ball skills. Wasn't being showcased at the time. "Gregory Polanco" body type. Can hit run, hit for some power.

Adrian Santos, (SS) Dominican Republic -($285k) RH, 6-3, lean. Has a good arm at SS. Maybe some power

Jean Mata (OF) - (swing video, video) - Venezuelan - ($210,000) Big game player. Lot of hit, can really run. 

Raylin Ramos, (OF) Dominican Republic - ($200,000) - Physical tools, some power.

Yirber Ruiz, (OF) Dominican Republic - ($200,000) CF, switch hitter, good runner, good performer. High profile who's market came back.

Aron Estrada, (INF) Venezuela - (175,000) Switch hitting INF. Defensively has a way to go. Good athlete.

Henry Tejada, (RHP) Dominican Republic - (165k) - RHP. 88-90, pitchability. More in there.

Cristian Benavides (SS), Venezuela - ($150,000) Good looking SS, some power, Right-hander. Tall and skinny. Average arm

Edrei Campos, (SS) Dominican Republic  - ($150,000) Straight bat. Keeps getting better. Got stronger. Got him late when his market fail. Not as polished defensively.

Elis Cuevas, (SS) Dominican Republic - (150,000) Switch hitter SS. Chance with the bat, defensively improving. Good tools. Development guy.

Jean Carlos Martinez - (OF) - (125k) Big strong guy, really athletic guy. Paperwork issues, age issues but cleared by.

Andrés Nolaya, (C) Venezuela - ($100k) Athletic catcher. Really good arm. Plays outfield as well. Can really run. 

Jesús Palacios, (RHP) Venezuela - (90k) Feel for three pitches, 87-90, t91. More in there when he gets strength. 6-2. 

Juan Peña, (RHP) Dominican Republic - ($75k) - Good change and slider, run it up 92. Command comes and goes. 6-1.

José Noguera, (C) Venezuela - $50,000. Defense first catcher, some strength.

Adrián Delgado, (RHP) Venezuela - ($50,000) (RHP) , runs it up 93 MPH. Command comes and goes.

Fernando Peguero, (SS) Dominican Republic - ($50k) Switch hitting middle infielder. Undersized. A performer. Can run.

Ezequiel Bonilla, (RHP) Panama - ($35,000) Pitchability strike thrower, run it up 88-91. 

Alfredo Velásquez, (INF) Venezula - (20k) Undersized, INF, probably 2B. 

Elías Moscoso, (RHP) Venezuela - (10K) - Undersized Righthander. Good arm.

Andrés Parra, (LHP) Venezuela - (10k) - Pitchability lefty.

Ronal Hererra, (RHP) Dominican Republic - (10K) - RHP, can pitch up to 92-94.

Miguel Mesa, (RHP) Dominican Republic -

Elias sure likes to go extremely light on the pitching signings. Only one pitcher getting over 100k bonus.

in his teams all have losing records besides Aberdeen. the pitching at Delmarva at times has been beyond awful. There were guys that should not be pitching in professional baseball.

The DSL teams split today, Black losing 5-0 but Orange winning 4-0.   For Black, Tavera and Arias each went 1 for 3, with Arias stroking a double.   For Orange, Sosa went 2 for 4 with an RBI and the starter Noelin Cuevas threw 5 shutout innings, striking out 6 without a walk and scattering 4 hits.  Cuevas is 20 years old, a bit long in the tooth for the DSL.

16 year old Cesar Espinal pitching today for DSL Orioles Black versus DSL Orioles Orange.   3 strikeouts and 1 walk in his first inning.  Doesn't turn 17 until 8/25.   He's not even on the list of signings further up in this thread that I can see.

      I imagine the goal is to get him available to just give them anything out of the pen in the wild card round. Depending on how that goes and if the O’s can advance who knows.

      A look ahead to the 2025 payroll

      By wildcard · Posted

      The interesting thing about 1B is Mayo.     Elias keeps pushing Mayo at 3B.   But if Westburg is healthy he is better at 3B.   And they don't seem to play Mayo has much as they could at 1B where he might have a better chance at a regular job.    DH might be his best position. If Santander leaves, then Kjerstad probably gets an every day spot at RF.   Elias might want to see Kjerstad hit well in RF before he hands over 2B to Holliday.   Too many struggling rookies at the same time is not good for wins.   Mayo is  behind Kjerstad and Holliday IMO in getting a lot of playing time. However, developing Kjerstad, Holliday and Mayo  are key parts of the O's future no  matter how Elias develops them.

      Walker is definitely an upgrade over Mountcastle.  Walker has cleared an .800 OPS the past three seasons.  Mountcastle has only done it once -- his rookie year.  Plus Mountcastle hasn't even cleared 20 homers since 2022.  Mountcastle is good in a platoon, used against lefties, but otherwise he's fallen off. Walker is 33, which is a bit of a risk, but which makes me think he could be had on a short term deal.  That said I think the O's will have competition for Walker.  He's one of the most underrated bats in the league.   If the O's think Kjerstad can play 1B then I think they should maybe go with him and look for a new RF (unless they bring back Santander, which seems more unlikely now).  But I don't know about Kjerstad's glove there. Mayo's glove at 1B may be even more questionable than Kjerstad's.  Plus Mayo just hasn't shown he's ready with his bat yet.  I'm against assuming guys will figure out how to hit MLB pitching within a presumed timeframe.  Mayo hasn't shown he's there yet.  Let him work his way into the lineup rather than giving him a starting job.  But with him there's also the issue of where his defense plays best, or if it plays anywhere.

      So either Grayson won’t face hitters this year (ie he’s done for the year) or he’s in the pen.

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      By Fiver6565 · Posted

      I feel better after getting a W against the Giants; somewhere along the way I had stated I felt we almost had to get at least one from them, and now we have.  However, lets not act like this one win means the offense has broken its slump and we're suddenly going to start rolling.  I hope we do, but we're one bad game away from feeling like we'll never score a run again.  If we go down 3-0 or something early tonight, it will be hard to resist the doomsday feeling - we're just as likely to get one-hit or something stupid like that tonight as we are to score 5 or 6 runs.  Its a tough schedule to finish the season, tougher than maybe we would have thought with Detroit playing so well.  Still not counting my chickens but yeah that W yesterday changed the calculus a good bit in our favor.

      Update: As expected, the corresponding move for Coulombe is Burch Smith, but he's going on the IL instead of being DFA'd. Right adductor/groin strain.
