Here is my best guess at the final 6.

1.) Matusz

2.) Tillman

3.) Bell

4.) Britton

5.) Arrieta

6.) Hobgood

Tillman isn't eligible. You would leave Snyder out of the Top 10?

Matusz will be #1, Britton #2. That I am sure of, based on Tony's previous comments.

3-6 will be Bell, Snyder, Arrieta, and Hobgood.

Hobgood or he isn't in the top 10 at all.

I hope his placement here is based upon just how good he really is and not his ceiling... Sure we need guys that have upsides so high it makes you giddy to think about however I don't know (without seeing him in person) that Hobgood is anywhere near a top prospect just yet. The kid is after all just 19 years old and hasn't had a full season in the minors. Yeah sure there is lots to like, but realistically he is three years away... Why place such a high expectation (burden?) upon him so soon?

It seems clear the choice is between Hobgood and Snyder here. I wouldn't be shocked to see Hobgood ahead of Snyder using Tony's criteria but Snyder's numbers, level and age have to be respected. I'm going with Hobgood here.

Hobgood may not be in your top 10 but it's almost certain he's in Tony's top 10. If Coffey is in the top 10 then Hobgood has to be in the top 10, unless Tony really disliked the Hobgood pick, and there's no indication that that's the case.

You may be correct. Personally, I can easily find 10 players who I feel have more potential to make a future bigger impact on the ML team. I hope I am wrong and Hobgood turns out to be a great O's pitcher someday. Only time will tell.

    • Direction on the 90 degrees of the field.  
    • I was listening to a Fox Sports Radio broadcast (sorry, can't remember who it was). They put the teams into tiers. The O's were in the top tier along with the Yankees, Dodgers and Phillies. I don't know how long it's been that during the season, someone would have called us top tier. And to think, this is happening with two of our starters out for the year and Bradish and Kremer have spent time on the IL. We are doing this with Hays, Mullins, Urias and Santander starting the season on an extreme slump. We have done this with Mateo starting almost every day (which most people thought would be a horrible thing). We have done this with a bullpen that has been very inconsistent. Imagine if we get some of this stuff fixed and some people back to just playing to their career averages. 
    • I'm not sure what we are doing with Vieira. I figured the trade was about the prospect and they had to take him and his salary to make it happen. I expected him to be DFA right away and they would try to send him to the minors to work on him. 
    • What would differentiate them? 
    • Btw, in the 4 game series against the Jays last year (July 31-Aug. 3rd), it is insane that Mountcastle hit for an .846(!) avg with an OPS of 1.932!  
    • Vieira doesn’t have options.  
    • May 2024 This month, two non-prospects were obvious choices for MiL Plsyer and Pitcher of the Month: Player of the Month 28-year old Daniel Johnson led the org in SLG, OPS, HR (tie) and RBI.  He hit .350/.439/.725 with 6 HR and 23 RBI pm In the prospect division, I’m going with 19-year old Leandro Arias, .333/.400/.667 with 3 HR and 13 RBI in 16 games.   Honorable mentions to Ellis Cuevas at .992 OPS, Heston Kjerstad .964 with 14 RBI in 16 games after returning to the minors, and Stiven Acevedo at .953.   Pitcher of the Month In between stinking up the major leagues, 27-year old Jonathan Heasley pitched 16 scoreless innings with an 0.813 WHIP. In the prospect division, 21-year old Edgar Portes pitched to an 0.42 ERA in 20.2 innings, with an 0.919 WHIP and 11.8 K/9.   Honorable mentions: Eccel Correa 0.96 ERA in 18.2 IP, and Trey Gibson with a 1.76 ERA, 1.044 WHIP, and 15.3 K/9 in 15.1 IP.
