Baltimore Orioles Preliminary Prospect List

by John Sickels on Dec 6, 2025 1:01 PM EST

I had to stretch to get this one to 36. Am I missing anyone important? I need to start keeping teams to 35-38 in any event, and some of the first teams will have to be reduced.

Kam Mickolio

can be taken off, he’s gone to Arizona in Reynolds deal

If everybody likes you, then either no one knows anything about you, or you're dead.

In theory maybe Snyder

although I don’t think he will have any impact on an AL team.
This system has been hit hard by graduations, injuries and just failures to develop like Bell and Snyder. That said I wouldn’t be surprised if next year the farm system is middle of the pack

Synder has to still be on the list right?

He’s certainly failed to develop as hoped, but I’d certainly still put him in the conversation.

ok

Ok, drop Cornholio in favor of Snyder.

HAHA

too funny. Did you actually type Cornholio?

John loves Beavis & Butthead

another point in his favor in my book

OT: Man, this farm system is pretty sad after the 2010 graduates.

Out of curiosity

Did Snyder not make the original list, or was his exclusion just an oversight?

by kba26 on Dec 6, 2025 2:02 PM EST up reply actions

snyder

I thought he sucked too much to include. But people are curious, so OK.

by John Sickels on Dec 6, 2025 2:35 PM EST up reply actions

trust me..

He does.

Pedro Beato?

I think he could be a nice bullpen arm, although — like Pelzer, Adams, and Waring — the O’s have left him off the 40-man roster and exposed him to the Rule 5 draft.

I don’t think it’d be any loss to cross Florimon off the list; we’ve got pretty good evidence that he can’t hit.

by AndrewTorrez on Dec 6, 2025 2:02 PM EST reply actions

agreed

Yeah, I can see Beato for Florimon. I’ll go for that.

Tyler Townsend?

by kba26 on Dec 6, 2025 2:52 PM EST reply actions

2nd

by absltgreek on Dec 6, 2025 2:55 PM EST up reply actions

yep

Like a younger Mahoney; no track record but hit the tar out of the ball this season. Probably worth including; maybe over Cooney?

Compare him to Tyler Moore, for example

The more I think about it, the more this makes sense… if Tyler Moore can get to #18 on the Nats list with a C grade after an .873 OPS at A+ as a 23 yo, Townsend has got to make it in with a .959 OPS split between A and A+ as a 22 yo.

+1

he definitely has power potential if he can stay healthy…

townsend

oh, yeah, that’s an oversight. He defintely belongs.

Matt Angle & Rick Zagone

Not like Angle’ll be a superstar or anything, but he plays nice defense in center, gets on base and steals bases. Could be a 4th OF type.

You had Zagone on the list last year and he had a decent season (fewer K’s, but he had fewer BBs and got guys out) - any particular reason he was dropped?

I could see either of these guys over Cooney, Schrader, or Jacobson.

Surprised to not see Troy Patton or Luis Lebron, but it makes sense to leave them off; they’re both damaged goods at this point.

Pat Egan

Prolly has a ceiling of a middle reliever but put together a nice season in AA.

Brandon Erbe and Billy Rowell

are two more big names from past years. I can easily see leaving both of them off this year: Rowell still hasn’t been able to actually hit the ball, and Erbe pitched poorly before going down for labrum surgery.

I think there may be a case for Erbe as a C guy, though: his stuff is still awesome, and he’s only 22 (at AAA this past year). If his arm ever actually heals…
