Earl Weaver Rules

Kevin Goldstein released his list of the top eleven Orioles prospects and it’s a pretty good batch with two five star prospects and one four star.  Topping the list is right handed pitcher and 2011 first round draft pick Dylan Bundy.  He just turned 19 and he’ll most likely get a full season slot to start the season but this kid bears watching.  He was taken fourth overall and it’ll be fun to see how he develops.

Second is the Orioles 2010 first round pick, Manny Machado.  The shortstop split time between Low-A and High-A he’s also 19.  Goldstein speculates that he could eventually move to third base but this is another guy I’m interested in seeing develop.

Rounding out the top five are Jonathan Schoop (inf), Nick Delmonico (3b) and Jason Esposito (3b).  All of these guys are a couple of years away.  The Orioles have some nice young talent coming up we just have to be patient as they all develop.
