The Orioles farm system is loaded. This is the deepest it has been in at least 40 years. There isn’t room at the major league level for all of their top position prospects and they should trade some for starting pitching. Orioles fans became attached to their minor leaguers because the major league team was so bad but things changed in 2022. Several of these players (Westburg,Cowser) are ready now and could be better than guys on the major league roster.
Here’s a list of the prospects that are in Baseball America’s top 100. When the Orioles drafted Holliday last year, the majority of experts thought they should have taken Druw Jones. It looks like the Orioles made the right decision.
I have also included links to an excellent series on the prospects from PressBox. Here are direct links to a few of the articles. The whole series is here.
Sad!
