Who’s no. 1 on this list?   It’s pretty clear there’s no industry consensus that Gunnar is the no. 1 guy, but the fact that he’s in the conversation is an amazingly positive development when you consider his pre-season rankings.   These publications are usually hesitant to move somebody that fast and it speaks volumes about the quality of his season in all respects, not just the gaudy offensive numbers.

I remember a Prospects Live podcast in the beginning of Torkelson and Kjerstad where they had some promising tidbits on Kjerstad, I believe swinging and missing less than Tork, so not surprised they are quicker than some others guessing him a nice placement.

I noted the "physical freak" comment about Coby Mayo, and that Westburg was right next to Jasson Dominguez.

Doesn't include Stowers. I think the national guys aren't on him like the OH is.

Difference between being a second round pick and a first round pick.

Kjerstad would not be considered a top 100 prospect if he wasn’t drafted where he was.

You're right but that is part of the ranking process.   Austin Martin stayed in top 100 lists for over 2 years.   Kjerstad could and probably will fall off of most end of year lists going into next season unless he has a good finish at Aberdeen.

Kind of an odd/fun write-up for Westburg in that list.  The "bad" is almost as good as the "good."  I'll take it.

 

67. Jordan Westburg, SS/3B, Baltimore Orioles

The Good: Westburg is as consistent as they come, and he’s just hit since he turned pro out of Mississippi State. In fact, the entire package is a bucket of 50s and 55s. He’s an above average hitter with a strong approach, and should hit for power, play defense and run at an average clip.

The Bad: What he lacks here in superstar ceiling he makes up for in easy floor. He might end up handing the shortstop position to Gunnar Henderson, but the skills and baseball I.Q. are high enough that he can slide in anywhere on the dirt.

      This guy pitched three no-hit innings against the O's back in April.

      O'Hearn blatantly disregards the need to run up the starter's pitch count and lines a base hit on the first pitch.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      I absolutely would not pay a price that includes Mayo and Basallo. Where are the instances recently as it relates to trades where a team gave up two top 15ish position player prospects for any pitcher? I bet they are very rare, and even less rare with pitcher injury rates being what they are. I get that the Tigers can play hard ball and don't "have" to trade Skubal. But I also know that is a risk for them in that he could get hurt and then have no trade value between no and next deadline. IMO the Tigers are not going anywhere with or without Skubal for the next few seasons. They simply don't have the position player talent/offense to be a serious contender. And there best prospects (while admittedly very good) are all in single A. That's why I don't think that Kjerstad holds much appeal for them. Because he doesn't really match their competitive timeline. I don't think any team would pay that kind of price for Skubal. IMO only the Phillies are in a position to offer that sort of package. Maybe Seattle? But neither of those teams need pitching. The Phillies are absolutely loaded as is in the pitching department. And Seattle does have enough offense to seriously challenge. Having said all that, I would certainly seriously consider surrendering one of Mayo/Basallo. But it would have to be in a type of deal like this where I get back a difference making starter who is cost controlled for more than one year. And yes to McDermott (absolutely). Now DeLeon is interesting in that he may have some serious upside. But if you believe in your International/Dominican academy/program, then you have to trust that you can find/farm more young/high upside arms like him.

      Santander gets his first Coliseum homer in his last game there, wrapping one around the foul pole.

      Trade Proposal: Fedde & Kopech for Norby & Beavers

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      I think those two would be fine in order to get us through the regular season. My concern recently is at least one time through the rotation the last 4 times, we have had at least one blow up start thus taxing our bullpen. Those two would be fine in order to provide a much higher floor than some of our last three starters. However, I don't really think either does that much for us when the leaves change and the calender turns to October. If we are in an elimination game and either is on the mound against one of Seattle's starters, I think they would have the advantage. (Not that Seattle is a shoo-in for the playoffs.) But Philly and the Dodgers are most likely to get to the Series (which of course is no guarantee). And if we were to face either one, I don't like our chances against their top 3 with Fedde and/or Severino on the mound. Plus, I think we need protection at the top of the rotation in the instance that Burnes is to leave after this season. I'm not sure Grayson plus the rest of the non-Burnes guys that we have is even a rotation that qualifies for a playoff birth let alone wins a World Series. A lot of posters are clinging to our the stat that points to our team ERA being 5th in MLB. But if you like at how much it spiked in June and how high it is so far in July, it is clear that it is really going in the wrong direction.
