Who are the 2023 Orioles #7 and #8 prospects?

[ChuckS]

Bradfield and Beavers.

Norby and Povich should be outside of the top ten and hard to imagine Cowser has fallen this far.

No way Cowser has fallen this far.

[Aristotelian]

I don't think Cowser has slipped this much and I don't think Povich is this high. 

I have top six of Holliday, Mayo, Basallo, Kjerstad, Ortiz, Cowser (not necessarily that order). That leaves Beavers, Bradfield, and Norby. Seems like Norby has the least upside and also doesn't have a natural position, so I'm going with Bradford-Beavers.

Is @Tony-OHstill insisting on calling Bradfield, Bradford?

[baltfan]

I picked Beavers and Norby. If Tony was really high on Bradfield, I think he would’ve gotten the name right. I don’t think Bradfield’s bat profile is one that Tony likes.

I'd love to see Povich at #8 but am pretty confident Beavers is a top 10 guy.  Cowser is probably a 4-6 guy.  So, it's between EBJ and Norby.  I gotta go with EBJ at 7 and Beavers at 8.  Norby's bat is legit though, so it'll be interesting to see how this beautiful mess plays out.

To state the obvious:  A hit on both of those gives a legit CF behind Cedric and competition for Cowser/HK to produce.

I think the top 6 are obvious and from 7-12 you can almost just draw names out of a hat although I think McDermott should be over Povich and I think Beavers should be ahead of all the position players, but I think Tony will have Bradfield ahead of him. 
 

If he doesn’t, then Bradfield is outside the top 10, which may be the case.

I really need him to change his name!

I won't say you're right or wrong, but as RZNJ has correctly pointed out, it's not the first time I've called Bradfield, Bradford!

I think it’s Bradfield and Beavers.  Personally I’m nervous about Bradfield and might have put him lower.  I wasn’t thrilled with his .038 ISO last summer, despite his high OBP and disruptive baserunning.

Could Tony have Beavers over Cowser?

I don’t see it.  Beavers had a nice year, including an .894 OPS in AA, but Cowser absolutely destroyed that level (1.037) when he was there in 2022.   I do think Beavers made good strides in 2023 though.

I don’t either but if Beavers is 7 or 8 and Cowser is 6, it’s not like they are terribly far apart.
