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.

P.S.  Great list and thanks for all of the work you did.

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)

      A look ahead to the 2025 payroll

      By Just Regular · Posted

      I'm kind of rooting for not McCann, nothing about the individual player but I think the Sarasota backup catcher's prominence is the main leading indicator we'll get this winter of the 2025 Samuel Basallo strategy. I hope after living through 2 Octobers of Grayson Rodriguez and Jordan Westburg and Heston Kjerstad and Jackson Holliday and Coby Mayo arguably being under seasoned for their first pennant races that Basallo can have the Adley timeline instead of the 44 active roster days. In 2026 EBJ can put up a very gaudy SB number coming off his 44 active roster days that should play well for that year's RoY competition key to sustaining a large supply of Griff O'Ferrall's for the pipeline.

      Can Cowser still win Rookie of The Year over Gil/Wells ?

      In the next 8 games and in the playoff who do you trust more at SS?  Holliday or Liv Soto?

      Wells now at 1-for-18 and 6-for-40 last 7 and last 14 days - the rookie wall comes for many.    Next week I think still means something for the competition. It is kind of a big deal tactically if Wells, still mostly hitting cleanup, is in a bad patch or tuckered out, and opponents can tread very carefully around the big guys. I mean, Juan Soto's OBP isn't even .500, so you get him out a little over half the time, walk the other one, and then your pitchers and defense are playing against the other 7/9ths of the lineup. Would I walk Aaron Judge 2 outs, nobody on, in the 1st inning with Austin Wells on deck?    That would really give the voting sportswriters some narratives to zoom in on.     Maybe I don't want to reveal if that is my strategy this month though.

      It is powerfully convenient to say Ryan, but in the next couple few weeks we'll get our last view of O'Hearn v. Mountcastle, which the Cowser-like PA portion necessary for Coby Mayo's RoY candidacy needs solved. Mountcastle's right handedness and willing to put on a Powerpuff suit I think gives him the edge heading down the final stretch.    I believe Mountcastle is probably also a better 1B partner for Mayo as they have some kind of Lee May-Eddie Murray job share early next season. The 2025 lineup transitions are I think limited to Basallo for the backup catcher (and then he'll squeeze the 1B/DH duo), and if Mullins can sustain himself as a superior option to Fabian/EBJ for another October. This time next year I'm hopeful the injury gods are kind and Adley, Basallo, Mountcastle, Holliday, Gunnar, Westburg, Cowser, Mullins, EBJ, Kjerstad and Basallo are 11 individuals monopolizing all of the Orioles plate appearances at least four more Octobers.    I believe Mountcastle is nearer to the "Elias Generation" group of players heart, so he'll get an edge on Hays and O'Hearn when push really comes to shove as the #RisingTide starts to crest. Will O'Hearn's option give value to rate another Gregory Soto type decent reliever in trade?
