Jeremy Guthrie Is Better Than You Think - by Marc Normandin

"He wasn't one of the American League East's sexiest arms, but he was one of its most dependable and successful, despite his home park and the defenses behind him."

Baltimore Orioles Consensus Top 32 Prospects

I accumulated a variety of sources and weighted each prospect based on where they were ranked by each list to come up with a top 32 list. This also includes links to all of the lists and a spreadsheet that contains all ranks for each player for each list.

A summary of the new CBA

MLB has published a summary of the new CBA. Considering how much this agreement should affect our perception of the O's offseason, there was a lot I didn't know. It's good to finally have first hand info on this.

I've always been grateful to the Orioles fans and even more so now that I'm looking back on it. I really enjoyed interacting and playing in front of them as much as you could ever imagine. This is my favorite team I played on with the Orioles in terms of the 25 guys and the coaches, and I'll miss them probably more than I even realize right now. The friendships have meant a lot to me. Those are the things that come to mind. And I really believe this team has a lot of good parts. I think they'll win and that will be hard for me. It will be hard not being part of it when I see them winning, which I expect them to do.

... There aren't many things the last five years that I don't remember. The ones I think of right away include my first opening day at Camden Yards, seeing the festivities, having never been on an opening day roster and seeing what it's all about in that city and that community. And my great teammates. Even Matt Wieters being called up to the big leagues is something I'll always remember, the excitement for that. There are countless memories and I don't anticipate forgetting those moments ever.

...I think everything that happened the past five years helped me grow and my family grow. My five years in Baltimore are a huge part of my family's lives and the foundation for what's going on the rest of our time here.

Dylan Bundy vs Jameson Taillon

I did a post at FakeTeams a couple weeks back, comparing former high school pitchers Dylan Bundy of the Baltimore Orioles and Jameson Taillon of the Pittsburgh Pirates. John Sickles of Minor League Ball was kind enough to take time and answer some questions regarding the two. Check it out, any/all feedback welcome.
