Carlos Tavera showed off his best command to go along with his 94-96 MPH fastball and plus changeup to move up the charts. Tough sledding prospect wise right no outside of the top 16 or so. Reall

I wonder how Elias values Norby compared to Prieto.  What order?  How big the gap?  Norby's power vs. Prieto's hit tool...  Norby's a year younger and in AAA (vs. Prieto's AA).

Interesting that you've got Almeyda as CF instead of SS.  It makes sense from an org perspective.  Hopefully he gets reps there on his way up so we know if it's a fit or not.

It’s not often that you come across a disappointing beaver but I’m surprised that he has struggled the way he has.

I know Aberdeen can be an issue but I kind of figured he would be doing something similar to what Fabian is doing. 

With all of the talk about how eccentric his swing mechanics were coming out, I'm curious how much they're actively tinkering with that right now.

An adjustment period to the rework (if any) could explain his lacking production.

That could make sense for sure. Otoh, I would have expected him to struggle more last year because of that but maybe they eased in the changes a little more with him.

I see what you did there. ;)

The only solace we can take from Beavers is that Henderson, Cowser, Kjerstad and Norby did not do much there either. 

Obviously Fabian has turned into the better prospect because Fabian was always in front of his defensively and now has hit better with a better K-BB.

Beavers reminds me of Nolan Reimold in that he's a good athlete overall, but does runs and even hits awkwardly. Aberdeen is tough place to watch games from MILB TV because the entire league is pretty poor overall for broadcasts though Aberdeen itself did improve this year but still no center field camera.

To be eligible for the list, a player must play at least one game on an active roster. Players starting off in extended spring training or in the DSL are not eligible until they play a game in June. The list will be increased to 40 players once the short season clubs start up. (Updated as of 12 Jun)

Impressive that 5 of top 9 are now the 67th+ pick or International.   

Mayo 4th

Ortiz 4th round 

 Basallo Int

Fabian 67Th

Willems 8th

A lot of talent in that grouping.  

Which shows you don’t have to have super-high picks to have a good farm system.  Obviously, it helps.

Kinda?

If the O's weren't picking high and saving money would they have been able to sign Mayo or Willems?

I suppose we'll get a hint over the next few years watching how 2023 draft/development unfolds.

      12 Questions for the Offseason

      By interloper · Posted

      I've been thinking about #2 a lot and wondering why this didn't come up at Elias' press conference.  I think the answer if you have to target a RH bat who isn't solely power-focused or chasing HR numbers, but who is otherwise a caliber of lefty-masher better than Mounty. Or, you force that hitter here via trade.

      How does Povich fit into your 2025 plans?

      By RVAOsFan · Posted

      Last offseason with John (I am so poor) Angelos still in charge, along with the depth in the upper minor leagues it made sense to make a trade for someone like Burnes.  I don't think Elias should be looking at making a trade this offseason using any of our young talent.  It is time for Rubenstein to open the checkbook and land us a TOR starter and a big bat.  The days of having too many prospects is over, I want to see us have some solid depth options in AAA if we need it.

      12 Questions for the Offseason

      By Warehouse · Posted

      On #1: the question is whether all of Mayo, Kjerstad, Cowser, and Holliday have everyday roles or if are some platooned or held back in Norfolk or traded? If they all play everyday, there’s not really a meaty role to offer to a new bat. In the various post-mortems, this seems to be one of the biggest points of differences among posters.  Some want no logjams while others want one or more proven MOO professional hitters and don’t want to rely on Holliday or Mayo. My view is in the middle of the spectrum. I think at least one of Cowser or Mullins needs to sit vs. LHP, so we need a lefty masher capable of playing left field at Camden.  I think we may consider trading Mounty to make room for Mayo.

      12 Questions for the Offseason

      I find #8 to be an interesting one. On the one hand, McCann seems well-liked, he brings some toughness and veteran presence, and he actually had his best offensive season since 2020. At 35, you can probably have him for a 1 year deal if you want. And Basallo isn't really that close to coming up and catching just yet. He's a deep 2nd half kind of callup if you need him. And it's not like the free agent backup catcher market is much better than McCann. On the other hand, I have a sour taste in my mouth from game 1 where he couldn't make contact with men on base. Adley certainly didn't get any better under his wise tutelage. And maybe there are guys out there who surpass McCann defensively and bring a different wrinkle to the clubhouse. So I wouldn't be mad about a change.

      By RVAOsFan · Posted

      This is my thought process regarding the pitching staff next season, ideally we resign Burnes but if not another TOR like Snell or Fried need to be signed this offseason.  Eflin GRod and Kremer are a really solid 2,3,4 the 5 spot is open to competition but realistically there will probably be some injuries or fatigue that require all of these guys contributing.
