Zach, Nick, and Bob put a bow on the FCL and DSL short seasons that ended last week but not before talking about the big promotions announced on Monday as Colton Cowser and Joey Ortiz head to AAA, Darell Hernaiz moves up to AA, and recent draft pick Jud Fabian goes to high A. All that plus what a potential Adley Rutschman extension would look like in a jam-packed episode of On the Verge.

Zach, Nick, and Bob look up to the major league team and discuss the seasons of some of the pitchers who could be contributors on the 2023 team. Between expected additions from outside of the organization, returning members of the 2022 staff, and highly touted rookies the pitching staff appears to have some real potential. Will Jordan Lyles be a part of that? And how will they fill out the bullpen? Those questions and more are addressed as we prepare for the start of the offseason.

Zach, Nick, and Bob complete their look back of the major league season and look ahead to try and determine how the Orioles will set their roster on the position player side for the 2023 season. The only position in cement is Adley Rutschman behind the plate, meanwhile the infield and outfield are fairly amorphous. After that they discuss the addition of offensive strategist Cody Asche to the major league coaching staff.

This was a really good podcast.  A lot of interesting ideas.

Zach, Nick, and Bob make their final predictions for which players will be added to the 40 man roster prior to the rule 5 protection deadline. There seem to be four locks between Grayson Rodriguez, Joey Ortiz, Seth Johnson, and Drew Rom with room for one or two more. They also discuss Heston Kjerstad winning the Arizona Fall League MVP and a batch of players hitting minor league free agency to mark an end of an era.

Zach, Nick, and Bob talk with the Orioles minor league breakout player of the year Darell Hernaiz about his season that saw stops at three different levels. They discuss learning to take on a leadership role in Delmarva, what makes it so difficult to hit in Aberdeen, and getting a taste of the upper minors in Bowie. After that they recap the five players added to the Orioles 40 man roster last week and what it means for the 2023 season.

Zach, Nick, and Bob bring back 'Maximizing Playoff Odds' Jon Meoli once again to go over the updated top 10 list of Orioles prospects he wrote up for Baseball America. The farm system continues to be one of the league's best with award caliber upsides at the top and first division regular depth throughout the top 10 with another handful outside of it that could easily be argued should be included. Its the perfect listen for those looking to get excited as we wait for the team to "lift off" at the winter meetings.
