Around SBN: Laviolette out, 'Canes turn to Maurice Bar-right-arrows



Sickels evaluates the O's farm system

  1. Matt Wieters, C, Grade A-
  2. Troy Patton, LHP, Grade B+ (I like him more than I should perhaps)
  3. Radhames Liz, RHP, Grade B (Grade A arm, Grade C command)
  4. Bill Rowell, 3B, Grade B
  5. Nolan Reimold, OF, Grade B-
  6. Garrett Olson, LHP, Grade B-
  7. Jake Arrieta, RHP, Grade B-
  8. Chorye Spoone, RHP, Grade B-
  9. Jim Hoey, RHP, Grade B-
  10. Pedro Beato, RHP, Grade B-
  11. Tim Bascom, RHP, Grade B-
  12. Brandon Erbe, RHP, Grade C+ (something weird here, hidden injury perhaps?)
  13. Brandon Snyder, 1B, Grade C+ (numbers don't match propaganda)
  14. Mike Costanzo, 3B, Grade C+
  15. Scott Moore, 3B, Grade C+
  16. Randor Bierd, RHP, Grade C+
  17. Bradley Bergesen, RHP, Grade C+
  18. Bob McCrory, RHP, Grade C (I don't like him as much as some people do. Command worries me.)
  19. David Hernandez, RHP, Grade C (sleeper potential is high though)
  20. Jeff Fiorentino, OF, Grade C (looks like a solid fourth outfielder)

--------

The dropoff of Erbe really sucks.  Basically, the O's system has some decent depth but no real blue chippers except for Wieters who hasn't played any pro ball yet except for the AFL.  I wish John would have done the O's last because the farm system may drastically change after Bedard and Roberts are traded.

the parentheticals...
your comments?

what's the snyder propaganda?  he hit like a motherfucker in hawaii.  i'm surprised both him and arrieta aren't higher.

So, I said, uh, lama: how about a little something for the effort?

reading roch today
he said alot of these guys will be on the Keys together, which is great news as they will all be bonded when(if) they get to the majors. Its about a 40 minute drive from Silver Spring to Frederick but I will definitely be making the trip this season, to see some of these guys.
