A nice list of Oriole prospects and who they're going to compete against in the majors. Includes some sleepers as well

We have the #1 prospect in Matusz (an A), then three B+ guys, three B guys, and four B- guys. It’d be nice to have somebody between #1 and #10, but I guess having #10-12 balances that out. What’s particularly encouraging is that the author seems genuinely excited about almost all of the O’s prospects, while he gives a ranking with cautions for a lot of others. (Though, I guess, that also could mean he has a higher opinion of O’s prospects than others do and is thus ranking them higher, too. Hmm.)

The high opinion of Hobgood is reassuring, considering how many people seem very concerned about him. I don’t know what to think about the comparison of Arrieta to Millwood, though, haha.

We're actually never going to compete
