Baltimore Orioles Top 20 Prospects for 2011
by John Sickels on Dec 11, 2010 8:00 PM EST
1) Manny Machado, SS, Grade A-: Looks like everything you could want in a
shortstop. Just needs some experience.
2) Zach Britton, LHP, Grade A-: Love his steady development profile,
grounders+strikeouts and command.
3) Dan Klein, RHP, Grade B-: Polished, shouldn't need much minor league time,
will durability be an issue if used as starter?
4) Mycal Givens, SS, Grade B-: Injury season, but I like him a lot, toolsy,
controls zone well.
5) Xavier Avery, OF, Grade C+: Improved slightly, but I have enough doubts
about the bat to preclude a higher grade.
6) L.J. Hoes, 2B, Grade C+: Should hit for average and get on base, power?
7) Jonathan Schoop, SS, Grade C+: Not sure why, but this one stands out to me
as a breakout candidate.
8) Ryan Adams, INF, Grade C+: I like the pop in his bat, but defense and
plate discipline are problems.
9) Ryan Berry, RHP, Grade C+: I liked him when he was at Rice, can be fourth
starter or a good reliever.
10) Wynn Pelzer, RHP, Grade C+: I liked him since his college days at South
Carolina. Live arm, should be a good reliever, but it is odd that he was
unprotected and unclaimed under Rule 5.
11) Joseph Mahoney, 1B, Grade C+: Huge guy with power, more athleticism than
normal for his size, could be a Luke Scott-like sleeper.
12) Tyler Townsend, 1B, Grade C+: Injury season but played well, could rank
much higher next year.
13) Matt Hobgood, RHP, Grade C+: Don't give up on him yet; he was the
equivalent of a college freshman.
14) Brandon Cooney, RHP, Grade C+: Improvement with his command could make
him good relief asset soon.
15) Bobby Bundy, RHP, Grade C+: Live arm made progress, another breakthrough
candidate.
16) Connor Narron, SS, Grade C+: High offensive upside, though early numbers
were poor.
17) Brandon Waring, 3B, Grade C: Loads of power, but strikeout rate is very
high.
18) Eddie Gamboa, RHP, Grade C: Solid utility pitcher, could be a useful
swingman.
19) Jarrett Martin, LHP, Grade C: Good stuff, needs to sharpen his control,
could break through if that happens.
20) Trent Mummey, OF, Grade C: Could be a solid fourth outfielder if college
skills translate better into pro ball.
OTHERS: Matt Angle, OF; Jesse Beal, RHP, Tim Berry, LHP; Parker Bridwell,
RHP; Matt Bywater, LHP; Cam Coffee, LHP; Oliver Drake, RHP; Jaime Esquivel,
RHP; Randy Henry, RHP; Caleb Joseph, C; Adrian Rosario, RHP; Clay Schrader,
RHP; Brandon Snyder, 1B; Ashur Tolliver, LHP; Sebastian Vader, RHP; Ronnie
Welty, OF; Aaron Wirsch, LHP.
Machado is great at the top, and I really like Britton, but it thins out fast
after that. There are some interesting middle infielders who can pair with
Machado eventually. I think Givens can be the best of them. Outfield is very
thin.
The pitching list could look much better next year; a lot of the C+/C guys
have breakout potential but get conservative grades right now due to lack of
experience or injury issues. Martin, Bridwell, T. Berry, Coffee, Esquivel,
Tolliver, Vader, and Wirsch could all do interesting things once they get
some innings under their belts.
Overall the system looks thing right now, but there is some hope for the
future, especially on the pitching side.
