What makes you think Prieto is remotely in the same conversation as a prospect as Norby and Povich (#11 and #13) on the list. For that matter, what makes you think he's more than Hanser Alberto or Terrin Vavra at the ML level?

I said between 12 and 20.  He put up good  numbers in AAA and can play a passable 2B.  Where was he ranked last year?

It's that time of year once again where we give you an in-depth view of the Orioles system. This year, we will be adding in a risk rating based on level played at and injury history for each prospect.

Tony- thanks for these great write ups. Very detailed- showing all of the time and work that you have put in. As someone who is not able to see the minor leaguers very often, it is a great resource.

Bucce is one of those guys that finally hit a little bit last year, but didn't get a ton of playing time overall and 20Ks in just 74 PA gives me pause when it doesn't come with any real power. He'll have to make Delmarva next year and we'll see how he does.

Anderson DeLos Santos is still a bit interesting and I actually wrote up a quick bio for him before I knocked him off the list: Only 19-years old last season at Delmarva, Del Los Santos didn’t put up all that impressive of numbers including a 104-31 K-BB ratio in 421 PAs. But he has a little pop in the bat and although he made a few too many errors, shows some athleticism at 3B. Probably will need to repeat Delmarva next year at 20-years old but has some tools to work from and worth keeping an eye on.

Same thing with Heid: Put up good numbers at AA holding batters to a .185/.280/.265/.545 slash line mostly at Aberdeen. Got a late season callup to Bowie but at 25 years old, he's long in the tooth for a prospect. He's a 91-93 MPH guy with so decent carry and his slider flashes average on occasion wit good depth. The stuff just doesn't suggest he's going to have success at the major league level though.

I also did Kade Strowd who got bumped at the end.

Kade Strowd: Fastball slider pitcher that sat 94-96 but who can flash 97-98 on occasion. The slider has high spin and late break and can give minor league right-handed hitters fits, but he doesn't have much to defend himself against lefties and his command wavers too often.

As for Heid, the stats say he's worth watching, but the age and stuff go "eh". Can't rule him out, but I didn't see anything that suggested major league stuff.

Your top 75 is must-read. Thanks for putting it together, as always.

There was some talk around some of us unwashed fans of Trey McGough being protected in the Rule V draft, yet he's not even in your top 75. I'm not bothered that he wasn't protected, but is there upside? Did his age play a big role?

He was on a decent track until 2021/2022 when I guess he got injured. Didn't get a ton of innings last year, but was reportedly somewhat impressive when he did start throwing again. I'd love to hear more about him.

I went back and watched several starts of McGough, and I couldn't for the life of me see why anyone would think he needs to be considered for a protection. He's a 89-90 MPH left-hander with inconsistent below average secondaries. I didn't see him before the injury so maybe he has still not come all the way back, but I didn't see anything that suggested he's a future big leaguer.

I definitely didn't see a guy who is going to get selected in the rule 5 draft.

Perfect example of other source's homerism. I assumed you'd write something like this, but had hoped that there was more to his profile that said he'd have a chance.

Tony- thanks for these great write ups. Very detailed- showing all of the time and work that you have put in. As someone who is not able to see the minor leaguers very often, it is a great resource.  Much better than anything else out there. 

Makes me very excited about the future of the O’s - as long as they can keep Elias and eventually pay some of these guys that frequently get discussed (Rutschman, Henderson, Rodriguez)

      It would be foolish to discount Burnes value to this team. He needs to be brought back unless the cost becomes absurd.

      Goodbye Brandon Hyde!

      By gtman55 · Posted

      I do get tired of his post game press conferences where he praises the other team's pitching profusely. He definitely isn't fiery, that's for sure. But having said that, he likely isn't getting fired. But, his seat is getting pretty warm and if we don't take the next step in the playoffs next year, he's likely gone.  As much as some of his in game decisions drive me crazy, he isn't the one taking the feeble at bats. The three pitching coaches ( I think they call one guy the offensively coordinator or something) need to go.

      Wait Till Next Year

      By Allan Bryant · Posted

      One thing I noticed and don’t care for is…….” We have Bautista coming back so we don’t need to sign All-star FA closer “  and “ since we have Elfin coming back we dont need resign Burnes “ and “ we have Bradish returning from injury so why we need another FA starter ? “  My point is that we can’t count on Bautista , Bradish , Wells , Means & others to return and pick up where they left off .  I advocate Elias to strike hard and fast during upcoming Free Agency season .

      Hey man, It breaks my heart that the O’s destroyed our season of hope. Hyde’s got to go. Watching those post-game excuses and lack of fire is not good for inspiration - club house or fans!. Pathetic. Call out stuff, not play victim. Apparently every team had amazing pitching! (Eye roll). A re-set is going to happen. A few more guys getting experience, a few guys going away, and revamping that horrible bullpen. Easy moves: let Santander walk, don’t waste money on LT contracts for SP - even Burnes, get Alex Bregman! , get more speed!

      Where are the pollyannas?

      By Emory Eagle · Posted

      Division is going to be tough next year.  Rays have reloaded, Red Sox have a new core in place and will likely supplement with a big Fa splash or two, and the Yankees will continue to be the Yankees. Ultimately O’s success or lack thereof will rest on the improvement of their young positional talent, but seems like we need to add some kind of weapon vs left handed pitching.  And will need to either replace or resign Burnes, not something easy to do without significant financial investment.
