I was going tonask the general trend in the muddled middle too...  

There are a lot more guys trending down then up so far this year, especially on the hitting side. I know hitting has been down overall, but not a lot of "breakout stories" so far this year and a lot of guys not taking a significant step forward.

Funny you say this.  I was just looking at a list that was a prospect guy put out of best prospects and ascending guys.  The only Os guy he had as an under the radar type guy was Etzel.

The Os have a lot of talented guys but not a lot of guys who are living up to that talent.

This time next year, our system could be lower half.

13 pitchers in this weeks top30 and 6 in the top15.  Starting to feel like there is more balance overall, even if the top is heavy with high end positional guys. 

The problem is it's because of the hitter's failures more than that the pitchers are high end guys. It's still only June and guys can have great second half's to erase bad starts, but not a ton to get excited about.

Updated thru yesterday. Added in the DSL players to keep an eye on.

I understand why Aron Estrada hasn’t cracked the top 30 yet, but I’ve definitely got my eyes on him.

Yeah, I was trying to get him on the top 30, but I just couldn't fund a guy to drop off and I needed to add in Emilio Sanchez. He's on the cusp, but he also needs a real position. I'm not convinced he can stick on the dirt, but if he does, it will be at 2B.

Estrada had 2 more hits tonight one being HR #5.  Noticed him getting hot so checked his game log and he was OPSing 1.074 in his last 14 games (61 PA) going into tonight.  All 5 of his HR are in the last 15 games.  That brought me to this thread to see where he was in the power rankings. 
 

He’s still 19 until January but listed as 5’8” 142!! Can that be right?  I guess that is why he hasn’t garnered much attention.

He looks bigger that his listed height and weight to me. Another hot week and he'll squeeze back on but I'd like to see him develop some positional strength.

What do you see as his major flaws on the field?  What do you look for him to improve?

Billy Cook, 25 years old, now 47 games into his AAA career.   .882 OPS and a strikeout rate under 20%.   In 14 games in June, 5 homers, 15 RBI, 8 walks, 9 strikeouts, .333 avg, 1.096 OPS.   Billy Cook keeps improving as he reaches each higher level.   The strikeout rate keeps getting better.

    • I just got power on in Savannah, I hope those we have not heard from are well.  
    • I think the point about Gunnar being left handed does swing this in his favor, if it’s an Os specific question. No sense in having your main stud player hitting warning track lasers that would be HRs in 29 other ballparks, over and over again. We may find out exactly how frustrating that is when it comes to Mayo the next couple years  Hopefully we find out! As for the speed, Witt is of course faster. But Gunnar had 20+ stolen bases himself this year. Not like he’s slogging around out there. And Gunnar is a fantastic baserunner overall   I think the defense is closer than people think too. Easy to be biased negatively because Gunnar struggled for a bit there. But there’s a reason we were all so surprised by that - he’s been rock solid otherwise.    Lastly if we had Witt, we wouldn’t have Adley.  Which still matters despite his tough second half. That element (which I realize isn’t necessarily part of the question) makes it a complete no-brainer. 
    • I'm sure they had to hold a certain number of decent seats back for MLB and corporate sponsors for the playoffs.
    • Maybe a groundball back to Cano.  
    • They've upped the prices back to $77. They've also opened up a lot more sections for purchase. I found this very frustrating when I went to a game a few weeks ago. Many sections appeared sold out and then they added seats for purchase a couple of weeks before the game. Perhaps it has to do with season ticket holders deciding to not go to the game and then the tickets become available?
    • I reckon it’s because Bowman is a contact guy. I know his strikeout rate was 8 with the O’s, but historically he’s been more of a 7 SO/9, so Selby does bring more of the strikeout potential. Although, ideally, you don’t want either of those guys pitching in the playoffs. But hey, maybe Selby ends up being That Guy for us.
    • I know you know, but we gotta adjust from just to cover innings over 162 to playoff time. We won’t need more than Burnes, Eflin, Coloumbe, Cano, and Dominguez. Maybe one of Akin/Perez.
