Good stuff, Tony.

There's a lot of SP at DelMarva and below. I'd like to see Henry, Bundy, Wirsh, Martin and Coffey start higher, but there's not enough space for all these SP. Even starting Berry at Frederick, the projected staff at DelMarva is quite young and may not have any promotions to open up room for the prospects mentioned above.

You are absolutely right. Delmarva, Aberdeen, and Bluefield looked to have fantastic, prospect laden rotations. Bundy could have a chance for Delmarva with a strong spring, but he'll need to show up in better shape and his stuff needs to show back up. All of the guys you mentioned are guys to watch for sure, but with their limited experience and stiff competition from more mature pitchers means most likely they will start on a short season team.

Just as a reminder, this is where I think guys will start, not where I would put them.

Did I miss anyone? You guys are always the best fact-checker for me. :D

Thankfully I had the Orioles current organizational roster as of last week so hopefully I got everyone who should break on a full-season club. I may switch around Flacco and Carolus at Delmarva though since I think Carolus hit better at a higher level than Flacco and Flacco needs to show that his back can hold up.

Well, since you did ask ;)...affected, not effected.

Also, a whole bunch of guys link to the same profile, which is made more interesting by being Oscar Salazar's :P

Thanks for working this up, Tony. It's good to see where everyone stands, even at an early date.

That really stinks because it meant I used an older version. I had fixed those profiles last year. Ugggh, more tedious work to do. Thanks for the heads up though.

Too bad Givens is turning 20 in May. I think it would have been nice to start him in the Appy League.

He still might. Personally I think he should start at Delmarva because of his age and the fact that he needs at bats. Rosa has some tools but he needs to show that he can hit a breaking ball before throwing him into Delmarva or his numbers will be real ugly. Depending on how his spring goes, Givens could start anywhere from Bluefield to Delmarva.

Stockstill showed a renewed interest in pushing guys like Givens (Hoes/Avery) so my guess is he starts at Delmarva unless he has a truly terrible spring.

Well, I hope he comes on like gangbusters. Otherwise, I can see who the new whipping-boy of the boards will be. Givens w/wood vs. solid D-I competition could be rough...

Billy Rowell at firstbase is what I have been recommending for a couple of years. I hope Bowie works out for him.

I would have loved to have seen Ryan Berry at Delmarva, but he certainly has a good chance of skipping to Frederick.

Honestly this is my guess. No one in the organization told me they were going to move him there this year, but he was just so downright terrible in the RF last year that I have to imagine they want to take some of that pressure off and give him a chance at 1B. Although Waring will probably end up there, I don't see any reason he can't play some third again at Bowie.

This is a make or break year for Rowell so I would guess they would not want him worrying about his outfield defense. DH is also a possibility although I think he would make a decent first baseman if he put in the time.

Interesting that Spoone is a "B Prospect" (same as Bell, Snyder and Erbe). Are you counting on him making a full recovery? Or would he have been a level higher, and he is discounted somewhat with injury concerns?

Great list, cool to see where you think everyone will end up.

    • And paid Scherzer, and Zimmerman, and Corbin, and Werth.   They didn’t all work out, but nobody could say the Nats didn’t spend to put a winning team on the field during their run.  The run basically ended because Stras II and Corbin blew up in their face.   But there’s always 2019.   
    • I can’t believe that 8 hours after Grayson stepped off the mound, I’m the first person to update his thread.   After a 19-day IL stint and without a rehab stint, Grayson threw 6 innings of one-hit shutout ball last night.  The one hit was an infield squibber hit 59.5 mph off the bat.  His command was a tad shaky at times, as he walked three and hit a batter, but he still breezed through 6 innings on 82 pitches, 50 for strikes.  If it hadn’t been his first outing in three weeks, he certainly could have pitched the 7th inning.  Unfortunately, the bullpen blew it for him. Fastball topped out at 98.4 and he was still hitting 97 in his final inning.  
    • I think half of Fangraphs’ staff over the years came from Lookout Landing.   I rarely read other teams’ sites, but I agree Pinstripe Alley is one of the best Yankee sites.     
    • For one thing, they don’t have Bautista shutting things down in the 9th inning or extra innings.   Second, 30-16 just doesn’t happen every year.  I’m actually pretty encouraged that the O’s have played .650 baseball without winning a disproportionate number of close games.    
    • Four more shutout innings for Chace last night, 2 hits, 3 walks, 6 strikeouts.   His ERA is 0.91, WHiP 1.21, K/9 12.7.   The only blemish is his 5.2 BB/9.   He’s pitched 8 games and has only allowed runs in two of them.   Yesterday he threw 45 of 68 pitches for strikes.  For some reason the O’s kind of have him under wraps, as he’s only been allowed to exceed 70 pitches twice, back in April.  He’s also been kept to four inning outings.  They’re clearly being very careful with the 20-year old (turns 21 in three weeks).  In fairness, they did need to shut him down for a month late last summer, so I’m guessing it’s more season load management than game-by-game decisions.   In any event, it’s been a promising campaign for Chace.    
    • I mean, I don't want to denigrate your experience, but I think you're underestimating the power potential of elite athletes.  The leg strength required to send a grown man 20 mph from a dead stop is the same leg strength required to do a deadlift, or do a squat.  Can your buddy run a 4.5 40?
    • The Orioles were 30-16 in one-run games in 2023. They are 6-6 this year so far. Orioles magic hasn’t been there this year, at least so far. What changed?
