Heard a report that Cesar Prieto showed up to camp a lot thicker and stronger than last year.   Hopefully that translates to more power than he showed after his first few weeks at Aberdeen.  The hit tool’s pretty good.  

3 for 4 with a double in camp so far.

Sure you do. He doesn't draw walks and he hasn't hit for much power in AA. His value is entirely based on him hitting tons of singles. I know he isn't a normal prospect, but he's also 24 in AA. He's v

He has K'd a whopping 7 times in 124 at bats. Wow!

From what I've read from third-party prospect evaluators, Prieto's arm is a little stretched at SS (and given the stable of guys ahead of him at the SS position) I'm glad to hear he's getting some more strength that will hopefully help with some more power which will play better at 2B, or I guess maybe in the COF as well.

I haven't been watching the Bowie games as much but Prieto's numbers seem to be stable.  The sample size is 1/10th of 2022 but everything has improved enough to nearly double his wRC on Fangraphs.

Unless Westburg moves sooner than later, if he moves, the only other available slot I see Prieto filling is Greg Cullen's.  Prieto is no less a liability defensively than Cullen.  

I also think that Kjestad will soon be able to take Cameron's spot on the Tides.  Time to kick the 2015 1st rounder to the curb for the 2020 1st rounder.  Daz sure isn't his Daddy.

This kid has K'd all of FOUR TIMES (!) in 58 at bats so far this year. 

He's also only walked three times. 

 

I"m rooting for him but he looks like a utility IF with a questionable glove in the middle.

Prieto had some amazingly low strikeout numbers in Cuba against mostly inferior pitching.    His numbers last year which were about 16% were good.   This year he’s been up to the plate 100 times and struck out just 5 times.    Close to amazing.

He's kind of my favorite guy to continue the Felix-Cano trilogy next year.      Adam Frazier and Terrin Vavra are just pale imitations of the real guy at the top of the curve in his profile.      Westburg, Ortiz and Norby all just so much trade bait.

Altuve had the good answer to MLB Arms are just going to knock the bat out of this guy's hands.     MLB Arms are probably just going to knock the bat out of this guy's hands.

I do believe kids growing up with Yuli Gurriel as Mike Trout maybe have better chance to bring rare contact skills to the game than the Coby Mayos of the world.

🤔 Sarcasm?

I have to say, I second what another poster said, that your posts are super interesting when one can decipher them, haha, I can't for the life of me decode the meaning of the last two paragraphs 🤣

Little guys w/o pop don’t cut it at MLB (typically).  He’s gotta prove it but its possible.

Yuli is a contact artist.  Most kids here are taught to crank and yank.  International kids learn how to hit.  
 

@Just Regular how’d I do?

      The game is already tied. If he gets thrown out, the O's still have a runner in scoring position and just one out. You really didn't have much to lose by sending him there, with a chance to end the game.

      Yes.  He’s not a great bunter but at least try it once.   Santander was today’s choker.  He’s gotta be able to hit a freaking fly ball there.

      Same exact question Ravens fans ask every season.  No killer instinct.  In the game’s biggest moments, they come up small.  Exactly what you saw today.  Pathetic

      Should we have gone with a suicide or safety squeeze with Mullins? He might be better at bunting than hitting deep fly balls. Just a thought.

      I agree with the second but not the first. If the first fails, that's an extra out. If the second fails then they just get an out at home instead of an out at first, which is not really relevant with Gunnar going to 3rd. For the first case I'd think you need to be like 80% to succeed for it to be right, but for the second like 20%.

      The Sting of Losing Winnable Games

      By ShoelesJoe · Posted

      Bump. Tonight's game wasn't just "winnable" -- it would have been one of the top 2-3 wins of the season. Down 2 in the 9th and we come out single, single, walk, double to tie the game and have two of our fastest runners on 2nd and 3rd with no outs, with our 2-3-4 hitters coming up next.  And our guys gagged. They wilted under pressure. They choked.  Again.  This has happened so many times this season that I believe we need to consider the real possibility that the Orioles as currently constructed lack the character, stamina, -- the heart, if you will -- to win games like this. I think these players fail so often because they expect to fail. I remember after we won it all in '83 reporters were interviewing Ken Singleton in the locker room and one of them asked if the Orioles had been lucky. "You make your own luck" he responded. Well, the 2024 Orioles are making their own bad luck over and over again. How does that cycle of failure come to an end? I wish I knew.

      I know the OH hates Holliday, but it's a no brainer keeping him over Soto. We're talking about bench players who are going to, at most, have a small role in a few games. Soto has no pop and is slow. He's a warm body as it is. Holliday's ability to run can be very useful in the playoffs.
