Impressively deep list. I'd pick guys other than Hernaiz and especially Povich at the end, BSL August update also had them much lower, but that's a small squabble.

Is there any fantasy implications to this? It's in the headline but doesn't appear to be at all a part of the article. Looks just like a straight Orioles top-15 without emphasis on current fantasy value or even dynasty value.

[BSLBobPhelan]

This is my personal top 15. Yeah it’s technically a fantasy list but I didn’t really adjust for that much tbh.

The August update was a cumulative list of Zach, Nick, and I’s at the time post draft and trade deadline. We’re revealing our new one now daily on our Patreon (full 50 will be posted here and discussed on the podcast in February) and spoiler alert Hernaiz and Povich will be much more in line with the above.

Nice work Bob.

Hernaiz finished quite hot and is still very young, so I get that rise a lot more than Povich.  I feel compelled to continue to compare him to Rom, very similar stats overall, both scuffled down the stretch, but Rom was doing it at a higher level at the same age.  Scouts trump stats, I get, but I have a hard time thinking that Povich simply looks so much better that he leapfrogs Rom given the age/level difference.

 

I think I'd prefer Basallo to Hernaiz and definitely prefer Rom to Povich, but like I said its a small squabble.  I've also got no idea what to do with Kjerstad.  He could be #3 or outside the top-20 after the first half of 2023. 

[BSLBobPhelan]

Povich’s stuff is better than Rom’s but that’s not a slight to Rom and like you noted Rom has more/similar success at a higher level.

For the record I have Rom 16th and Basallo 17th so we’re pretty similar there.

Still quite worried about Kjerstad. The lack of walks and Ks are a huge red flag.

Thanks man. Had to haha.

Great stuff Bob.

 

And I had no idea that Beavers didn't have a HR last year.  What a weird little stat quirk there.

Thanks!

He did hit one during the Aberdeen playoffs but technically it didn’t count towards his season stats haha.

I would like to know if Jean Pinto wasn't available for this list because he's already in the HoF.

 

 

That is a joke.  Good stuff as always.

[BSLBobPhelan]

Pinto didn’t take the big jump I was hoping for but I’m still a big fan haha.

Bob, I was a little curious if you'd respond to the other thread I started 17 v T5 (relates to stuff like this)

Sure. Which one? 17 v T5 is going over my head at the moment.

In the Amateur Draft section 

 

If you drafted 17th versus top 5 the last 3 years.
