Baltimore Orioles Top 20 Prospects
The Orioles have the top pitching prospect, followed by a couple of guys of note; then the system really falls off.
Note: Avg ranking takes the average of any site I could find that had team rankings (sum of ranks divided by total sites). Comp ranking is the composite for the organization; it basically is a ranking of the averages. Also, this list was completed before minor league...
Rays prospect Hak-Ju Lee injures knee, will likely miss rest of season
During Saturday night's Durham Bulls-Norfolk Tides game, Tampa Bay Rays shortstop prospect Hak-Ju Lee of Durham suffered a gruesome looking knee injury in the fourth inning. LJ Hoes of Norfolk hit a grounder to second baseman Tim Beckham, who flipped to Lee at short to try to turn a double play. Travis Ishikawa of the Tides slid into second base, and his head collided with Lee...
Baltimore Orioles Top 15 Prospects (2012-13)
The Orioles list is strong at the top but begins to taper off quickly after the Top 4 players. The system boasts a fair bit of up-the-middle position talent (especially in the outfield) and strong pitching. There were another three or four prospects that could have easily slide into the 11-15 range and just narrowly missed the list.

Orioles rookie Manny Machado sports tutu
Ah yes, rookie dressup in September...a classic baseball tradition. Diehard Orioles fan Avi Miller of Baltimore Sports Report and 2131 and Beyond got some fantastic picture of Balitmore's rookies in their outfits...and the highlight was top prospect Manny Machado in a tutu.
But Machado wasn't the only Oriole dressed up...
There was Wei-Yin Chen, who dressed up along with...
Orioles designate Kevin Gregg and Ryan Adams for assignment
The Baltimore Orioles announced that they have designated reliever Kevin Gregg and infielder Ryan Adams for assignment. The moves were necessary as the team needed room on the 40 man roster for Endy Chavez and L.J. Hoes.
Gregg who signed a two-year $10mm deal in January ‘11 struggled during his time in Baltimore, posting a 4.53 era. This season, Gregg posted a 4.74 era with 7.6...
Prime Nine: Baltimore Orioles
The Orioles have been the surprise team this year in baseball. Every time it looks like they are going to fall back to the pack they go on another winning streak. Recently, they surpassed 50 different players used on the active 25 man roster. Some of it is due to injuries and some of it is the search for effective pitching. Either way, it is a testament to a farm system...
Tides vs. Braves: 8/21/12
L.J. HoesThe Norfolk Tides completely handled the Gwinnett Braves today in Lawrenceville, GA 8-0. Since I felt an acute case of baseball fever coming on this morning, I called out sick and went to the 10:35 AM start. The Oriole highlights came early as former Dodger farmhand RF Jamie Hoffman launched a 3-run homer that just barely cleared the left field wall and Braves LF Jose Constanza...
Top Ten Left Field Prospects Update #4
None of the left fielders have been called up and none are likely to be called up before September. Even then, the numbers will be low. The left field contingent is simply younger than at most other positions. That will make the competition for the top ten in 2013 especially fierce. As we know, left field is usually a strong offensive position, so there will be no shortage...
Top Ten Left Field Prospects Update #3
Like with other positions, some of these players may be wearing different uniforms by the end of the month. A couple of them have moved up or down in the system, but most of them are in the same place where we found them. Yet, performance may have improved or gotten worse since the last time we looked in.

FanGraphs Prospect Stock Watch – 07/04/12
L.J. Hoes, OF/2B, Baltimore Orioles
Current Level: AAA
2012 Top 15 Prospects Ranking: 13th
Current Value: Underrated
Hoes doesn’t have the highest ceiling but he could develop into a solid role player. A 2008 third round draft pick out of a Washington high school, the prospect has spent much of 2012 in center field but he can play all three outfield spots and has experience at...
Top Ten Left Field Prospects Update #2
I call this the second update for left fielders, but I couldn’t find the first one in the archives. I suppose these things happen, so I wanted to make sure this oversight doesn’t happen again. Most big time prospects begin as center fielders and then move their way out. So, a lot of the younger guys here may not appear to be tremendous, but they may be displaced...
Organizational Outlook: Baltimore Orioles
Perhaps my favorite part about being a baseball fan is keeping tabs on the Minor Leagues. I am a prospect hugger and I take no shame in saying this. I follow all the big prospect guys on Twitter and I take in as many Penn League games as I can up here in Burlington. One thing I know is that there are plenty of you out there just like me, so this feature is for you.
It is manageable...
Top Ten Left Field Prospects
When we get into the outfield we see a lot more generalization than we do on the infield. For most teams, right field and left field are interchangeable. The reality is that both spots carry more specific skills than some teams want to admit, but it is hard to get out of the fact that some players are simply listed as outfielders. However, we can see some specialization...
Orioles Prospect Over/Unders

We have given our predictions, and will now take the discussion to our subscriber-only forums. How many stolen bases with Xavier Avery have? What will be L.J Hoes' BA in 2012...
Orioles 5x5 2012 Prospect Rankings
The top two prospects in this system pack a Mike Tyson-eque punch. The rest are more Joe Glass-esque. Still, high ceiling talent is the name of the fantasy game. A few other prospects could surprise if their tools click, but in some cases, that's a huge if.
