Baseball America has us at 16 for their org rankings.  Somehow the Mariners are 5th.

the top of their system is very good.  just goes to show what's most important in these types of rankings.  Halos have more depth and upside in the lower level.  In a year or two this system will be top 10.

Ouch didn't realize this had happened. Shame.

Of course: death, taxes, Halos pitchers undergoing TJ surgery

Chris Rodriguez and Jose Soriano should be in Longerhagen’s list.

The real reason why the deal with the Dogs fell through.  Siriano was supposed to be the additional prospect?

Relax people it's called sarcasm!

Just a reminder that across the upper Minors (AAA/AA), the Angels had three hitters in the Top 30 of all Qualified prospects/players:

Jared Walsh at #4, Taylor Ward at #19, and Brandon Marsh at #30, all sorted by wRC+ which is park-adjusted (and League-adjusted).

Point being is that I am high on all three of these guys and think they all have the potential to possibly impact our 2020 season, probably in the order listed.

Even if just one of them makes an impact this year it will be gravy for our season. Can you imagine Walsh (or even Ward) stepping into the 1B role, for a majority of playing time, hitting .800+ OPS? Or providing .350+ OBP? Would be a great boost to the squad even if it is for a small part of the season.

Impact play from Walsh, Thaiss, or Ward would bring our offense to another level.  

Add mediocre starting pitching and a lockdown bullpen.....ok..wishful thinking!

I think the starting pitching is gonna surprise a lot of people. I don't think they'll be good, but there's no reason they can't be average.

I haven't seen anything about Walsh trying 1B in ST.

In five minor league seasons he's played parts of six games at 1B.

I think you need to go back and look at his GS at 1B. He has averaged close to 70 GS per season at 1B dating back to 2015.

I think your right.  My doubt lies with the lockdown bullpen.  I think our own is solid but not good enough to make up for a mediocre starters

Am I mistaken but isnt Walsh primary position first base?  Do you mean Ward?

I think you're confusing him with someone else.  he's primarily been a 1bman.
