Delmarva? A bone to pick...

MacPhail has seen successes at all level of the O’s minors.

“We’ve really pushed Avery and Hoes to the South Atlantic League a year out of high school and the fact they’re doing as well as they are is a testimony to development and scouting. They can handle the South Atlantic League a year out (of the draft).”

Not exactly.

Xavier Avery: .328 OBP, .387 SLG, .289 BA, .715 OPS, 4 E in CF.

L.J. (Jerome) Hoes: .268 OBP, .292 SLG, .248 BA, .560 OPS, 10 E at 2B.

Avery, you could make an argument, is keeping his head above water. Hoes? Nope.

Wanna get really depressed? Here’s stud SS prospect Greg Miclat’s numbers:

Greg Miclat: .304 OBP, .290 SLG, .252 BA, .594 OPS, 12 E at SS

Yuck.

And he’s Babe Ruth compared to…

Tyler Kolodny: .318 OBP, .333 SLG, .209 BA, .652 OPS, 9 E at 3B
