I’m currently working on the New York Mets Top 20 prospects for 2019 list. The next team in line is the Baltimore Orioles followed by the Philadelphia Philliesthe Cleveland Indianethe Arizona Diamondbacks, the Houston Astrosthe Chicago Cubsthe Toronto Blue Jaysand the Washington Nationals.
Use this thread to discuss the Baltimore Orioles organization. Possible points for discussion include, but are certainly not limited to:
**** The Orioles were horrific in 2018 with a terrible record of 47-115. Ownership is putting a new front office in place. How fast can the new GM Mike Elias turn it around? What is a realistic expectation for 2019?
**** Suppose Elias reads this article. If there was one piece of advice you would like to give him, what would it be?
**** What is your opinion on Cedric Mullins? Can he be a viable regular or is he a fourth outfielder?
**** Is Renato Nunez en DJ Stewart viable building blocks or just useful role players?
**** Of course, the Orioles need to invest much more in the international market and they are taking steps to do so. Is it a matter of just throwing money at the DR and Venezuela, or can you think of any out-of-the-box ideas?
**** Timeline for Ryan Mountcastle and Yusniel Diaz?
**** As always, discuss sleepers or anything else Orioles-oriented.
