His poor start is likely the reason.  Remember, he had fallen off of these lists.  If he keeps this up and gets to AAA and plays well, he will go much higher by the offseason imo.

If that's the reason for Cowser being low on the list, shouldn't Hall be a lot higher? He was strong out of the gate, wasn't he? It was only recently that he had had a couple bad outings.

It's nice that Gunnar could be an above average shortstop, but Jorge Mateo is way above average.  Let Gunnar play 3B and we have two gold glovers in the infield.  

I would like to see him get some 3b looks at Norfolk

Brooks Lee ahead of Holliday is just stupid unless you are solely valuing closeness to the majors and I think Holliday could be up as fast.

Their top 3 pre draft were Jones, Lee, Holliday.  By the way, Lee already has 3 or 4 games in the FCL.

No Oriole draft picks played today. Maybe they arranged an inter squad game?

I would probably guess yes to intrasquad. They highschool kids also probably take a little bit longer to get orientation / acclimation / game-playing ready than the college guys. I would ask when Mayo first got into a game but that was COVID year. So, I guess, Gunnar is the example to look at for when signing to first game happened.

    • 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
