1. Baltimore Orioles - $351 million

Preseason Value: $344 million (1st)

The O's seem to be treading water on the farm from those two numbers, but they've made solid progress because they lost $120 million of value to graduations, with the vast majority from the top prospect in baseball, Adley Rutschman.
 

Improvement by holdover prospects accounts for $66 million. Over half of that comes from the meteoric rise of SS Gunnar Henderson, who is now in the top 10 prospects in all of baseball. Most of the rest of the gap between those two numbers is made up by the draft class ($54 million), headlined by SS Jackson Holliday. In trades, they've added close to $10 million in value, with RHP Seth Johnson, LHP Cade Povich and RHP Chayce McDermott the headliners.

So long story short -- we had the #1 organization in baseball, graduated the #1 prospect in baseball, and then got even better.  Maybe Elias actually is the smartest guy in the room.

After three decades of Confederate Dollars and questionable trades I finally feel the Orioles are run by a top level brain trust.  It feels odd but I am pretty confident in our direction.

So, despite Adley graduating, org value goes up.

Also, just to note, he has Tampa in the top 5 and we just got one of their top 10 prospects.  That’s a higher ranked prospect on most other teams board.  Let’s hope Johnson can come back healthy and be what he was.

He's certainly delivering better than I thought he would.

No question the O’s have had a lot of high picks, but you still need to choose well and develop well to get to a farm ranking like that, especially since we’re still waiting for any notable Latin American prospects to get into the equation in a significant way.  Kudos to Elias and his team for this accomplishment.  I’m excited to see more of these guys reach the majors and contribute.

Every team passed on Gunnar, some more than once.

There was some concern about signability or at least that was what was reported at the time of the draft.  Took a decent amount over slot to sign him. Thankfully having the largest draft pool and Adley not requiring full slot made it doable for the O’s.

      Right..if the Orioles can trade for Brenton Doyle (my favorite top target), why should we care that his salary is low? Also in that scenario, Mullins is likely gone, so payroll would actually go down I believe. But someone like Bemore wins would still complain because the payroll isn’t where he thinks it should be.

      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.
