The Os had a highly ranked system leading up to the 2012-2016 run.

The talent level in our system right now (and Adley) seems to be better than those years but we don’t have the on field results with those guys yet.

Seems like we should be liking their chances but what they do to bring in outside talent will make a difference, one way or another.

Maybe it's just hindsight cause we know how some of those guys panned out, but the guys we have now just seem a lot more legit.

Hearing that we might go shopping this off season is one of the most exciting pieces of news in awhile.  Although....many of us will remain skeptical until it is proven....and rightfully so.  But as @Sports Guy says above, we are going to have to bring in outside talent to augment this group and it should be a higher level than what we have seen in the past.....will it?  We will see...but the time is now.

In general we have a lot more top 50 and top 25 guys than in the last era.

The system is set up so that teams can capture extra value by leaving players in the minors some additional amount of time.  It is not always intuitively obvious and correct that the path to take is to ignore that extra value to try to win a little more right now.  A month of an MVP-level performance, which is rarely what a rookie provides, is worth perhaps a single WAR.  But delaying that debut might mean an entire extra year of a high quality player, either on the Orioles or as trade value.

How much does the calculus change because of the rule where the top-2 ROY finishers get service time credit for the whole year?  And the rule where the ROY top-3 nets the team an extra draft pick, if the player was on the roster on opening day? If Gunnar is the favorite for ROY, there's some risk that delaying him nets the team nothing, and maybe even costs a pick, in addition to two months of his performance.

There's also the 40-man roster crunch in the offseason that's a factor. But the better a prospect Gunnar gets and the better shot of him being top-2 ROY, the less it makes sense to keep him down.

This is like calling up Manny in 2012, and in September another Oriole was the best prospect in baseball.  The 1982-2011 Orioles would go 10 years between prospects of this caliber. Even that's being generous.  The only guys close to that level in the 30 years after Cal were Mussina, Markakis, and Manny.  Cowser might actually be on the Markakis level, so you could argue the 2023 Orioles might have three young talents as good as anyone they developed from the 80s through the 2000s.

I didn't go back and look at their rankings but Strasburg and Harper were pretty close.

Well, he will not be up today, in case anyone was wishing on a Promotion Monday. They released a roster move and it was just swapping Sulser for Louis Head. 

We wanted Gunnar, we got Head….insert jokes. To me, you gotta pull the trigger on Stowers here at a min. Nevin corresponding move.

It's stunning just how much of a problem Rougned Odor is in terms of ideal roster construction. Whatever positives he's provided, it's time for Elias to remember that he's good at silencing his heart with his head.

Without Odor on the roster, you can:

Play Vavra at 2B, opening up a DH spot for Santander, which opens up an OF spot for Stowers.

You can then option Nevin and bring up Henderson to play 3B full-time. 

Santander/Adley share 1B backup duty. Urias can play there too I'm sure. Who cares anyway? 

OR

Keep Odor but leave him on the bench, option Nevin, bring up Henderson or Stowers, whichever you want.

ROY is a fickle thing.  Some years a 1-win player wins it, sometimes a 4-win player doesn't.  In '86 Wally Joyner (3.2 WAR) was 2nd, Mark Eichhorn (7! WAR) third.  Other years Todd Hollandsworth or Chris Coughlan win with ~1 WAR seasons.  You can't really count on that, ROY voting is such a weird metric to use.

      Where are you getting your stats from that's not correct looking at OPS.

      On the O's this year, Martinez would have been: 5th in OPS 5th in AVG 6th in HRs in 120 games

      I think PFF is grading Roquan badly because the safeties behind him are playing like ass and it's making him look bad.  If teams are going to attack him over the middle on crossing routes with WRs (like KC did with Rice) he doesn't really stand much of a chance if the safeties behind him don't throw him a bone.  He's still a huge help in the run game.   In general I think PFF assigns a little too much blame to linebackers on passes over the middle, so unless you're an elite coverage guy at LB it's really hard to grade well.  The flip side to this is that teams probably need to adjust their coverage areas to account for the fact that LBs aren't going to be able to hold down WRs for long.

      Thanks. This tells me what my eyes have seen with Roquan. He's been a liability in coverage and the fact that Simpson is ahead of him is not good for our defensive leader. Do you have the PFF grades for offense too?

      What you want is perfectly reasonable.  But you seem entirely to focused on money.  The team needs to work to improve.  I don't care what it costs, you shouldn't either.  They are going to spend money and payroll will be higher next year and the year after that.  We need them to make improvements and some of that is rightfully going to come from within and not cost much. The improvements that are needed are going to cost too, I'm not saying they wont.  But ownership and the GM should simply work in tandem to make sure the team has what it needs.  I am not really concerned about how much that costs because it should be able to be done without jumping this particular team into say top ten in payroll.

      This is the right approach. the orioles should be spending more money and I believe they will, but I expect it to be measured with less risk (ie we won’t be handing out a Hader type deal or a  long term contract to Santander IMO) improving on some of the obvious weaknesses certainly makes sense.    1x SP: Burnes, Fried, Buehler 1x RH OF/DH: Martinez, O’Neill, Profar 1x 1B: (wishlist) Alonso, Walker
