I’m use to looking at top prospects like Almeyda, Tavera, Maikol struggle at this level. Early on this is by far the best DSL team I’ve followed.

It’s important to consider the changes in roster rules - 15 fewer players allowed to be in org stateside vs last year.  That’s on top of elimination of short season leagues a few years ago.   In

First two days have been rained out.

In other news, Yaki Mondesir who was one of our top pitching signs this year was assigned to the Restricted List today.  I haven’t seen any news on why.

From DSL box score watching, it seems like both teams got off to a good start today.

 

DSL Orioles Orange beat DSL Dodgers Bautista 8-6.

Top four lineup spots were:

1. Emilio Sanchez SS - top 2024 J2 $1.3MM signing walked twice and struck out once

2. Luis Guevara 2B - 2023 $200k bonus switch-hitting speedster repeating DSL had 2 doubles, a walk, and two strikeouts

3. Jordan Sanchez CF - 18 yr old Cuban $450K signing from last fall went 0-4 with 2 walks and a strikeout; he had 2 line-outs and a fly-out

4. Adriander Meija C - 17 yr old catcher repeating DSL that was ranked #52 best prospect by Tony had a single and two walks

Henry Tejada (2022 signee) returned to pitching following his 2023 PED suspension. Pitchers Esmerlyn Valenzuela (21 yrs) and Santhany Vizcaino (20 yrs) made their MILB debuts following recent signings. 

Notable players on bench were Stiven Martinez ($950K bonus) and Angel Garcia ($240K bonus).

 

DSL Orioles Black defeated the DSL Athletics 4-2.

Top four lineup spots were:

1. Felix Amparo DH - 2023 $350K signing went 0-5

2. Jose Meija 2B - 2023 $410K bonus signing who was sidelined much of last year with injury went 3-3 with a double and walk

3. Elvin Garcia SS - 2024 $500K signing went 1-3 with a double and walk

4. Abraham Cohen - 2023 $140K bonus signing who was sidelined much of last year with injury like Meija went 0-1 with 2 walks and a HBP

Esteban Luna (17 yrs, recent signing) pitched 3 innings of 1-hit ball with 4 strikeouts and a walk. Andy Tena (20 yrs) and Salvador Casado (18 yrs) also made their MILB debuts on the mound. 

 

Notable player on the bench was Jemone Nuel ($500K bonus).

17-year old Esteban Luna pitched his second consecutive 3 inning shutout today.  His line so far: 6 IP, 0 R, 3 H, 2 BB, 9 K’s.

Anyone know anything about Luna?  He’s from Venezuela, and apparently was signed somewhere between Feb. 12 and March 2, per BA.   Listed at 5’11”, 168 lbs. on Milb.com.  He’s the first pitcher on Orioles Black to make two starts, so it seems maybe the O’s like him better than some of the Jan. 15 signees.

If they weren’t covered by someone like Basaeball America in the signing class or specifically talked about by Koby Perez it’s tough to get inside info on these guys without knowing someone on the inside.  There was a 6’7 pitcher names Magallanes who recorded 5 outs, all by strikeouts, signed in 2023.  Certainly quite old for the DSL but I always wonder if we found a late bloomer or something.  @Tony-OH  has contacts.  He’s probably our only hope for any type of scouting reports on the more obscure DSL players.

Ha. I can top that.  Kevin Velasco who pitches for the DSL Orioles Orange is listed at 6’11 155.   Unless that’s a typo and he’s 6’1 I’d say he’s built like Manute Bol.

That doesn't even seem physiologically possible??  I'm super skinny at 5'9 150.  This guy is 14 inches taller than I am and almost the same weight?  I would have to think that's a typo....

I feel like this team may be a little older than the past teams. Definitely a good start for the hitters. We normally get trounced in this league.

The batters average 17.4 (Orange) and 17.6 (Black).  League average is 17.7.  The  pitchers on both teams average 18.9, league average is 18.6.

Thanks. Do players ever get promoted mid season from there? Seems like Jordan Sanchez can really hit. I know it’s a small sample size.

I believe there is some lead time required for obtaining visas (e.g., scheduling interview, etc.)

I was thinking that and what is the next stop. Is FCL too comparable to even be worth making the leap.

FCL is the next step.  95% (maybe 99%) go there except super prospects like Ethan Salas.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By 24fps · Posted

      No.  Nor are they going to lead the O's to the AL East cellar next week.  Elias is going to need to get some pitching, nobody is arguing otherwise.

      Exactly this. While I appreciate he could be the guy, they are loaded at MIF. The more I watch Westburg the more I'm convinced he IS a dude. Calling up Mayo to play 3B I'm only slightly hesitant about because I've read regarding his defense. Westburg looks more comfortable at third to me, but I love that he's played 2B at a high level as well. Nice to have so many options.

      I’d rather see him in CF vs second base but I’m not sure we see that transition or not. I guess it depends on how comfortable they are with doing it at the ML level and in the offseason…because he won’t be in the minors for much longer.

      Basallo for Crochet?

      By Gofannon · Posted

      No earthly way I trade 6 years of a top 20 prospect, catcher or first base, for 2.5 years of a guy who has made 17 major league starts.

      I sort of don't get Elias's plan

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      I never said that and do not believe any of that as Rubenstein didn't even have control of the franchise at that time. And you better believe that if it was still in Angelos hands he would not allow Rubenstein much of any input until ALL of the risk/liability was transferred to Rubenstein. I love your use of the word "methodical" there to describe John Angelos. I have some of other words for it - cheap, miserish, greedy, moneygrubbing, tightwad, terrible, awful ... just to name a few...lol

      I think the vast majority of people think that playoffs in any professional sport is a crap shoot. I also don't think you'll find anyone on this board that doesn't want to make any additions to this roster. I just take issue with an argument that says there is no way the Orioles could win the WS with their pitching staff. That's over the top and hyperbolic. Just over the past few years, there have been teams that won the WS with pitching staffs that were as good or worse that the Orioles.  '21 Braves starters 3.84, BP 3.97 '19 Nats 3.53, 5.68 '18 Red Sox 3.77, 3.72 '17 Astros 4.03, 4.27 '15 Royals 4.34, 2.72 '13 Red Sox 3.84, 3.70

      Gunnar vs. Coby Mayo at the same place in time

      By spiritof66 · Posted

      That's the problem with using your top draft choices to draft the best player available: you can end up with an imbalance that makes it difficult to use all the talent you've got. You can reduce the problem by drafting shortstops, many of whom can move to the right along the defensive spectrum, but they can't all do that. And they can't pitch. You can fix an imbalance of talent by trading talented guys who are likely to be blocked by other, more talented guys. But if you're not willing to do that . . .
