Here is a quick look at the  Orioles’ minor league prospects. As expected, there are some who are  performing up to par. There are some who are doing better than expected,  and others who are struggling and disappointing.

As I have stated before and as I’ve done I will continue to keep you updated on the O’s minor leagues. Perhaps in May and at the All-Star Break, I’ll blog an updated analysis of the prospects, with input from scouts and coaches.

AAA Mike Costanzo - Finally hit his 2nd homer last night… but overall struggling to hit .200.

AA Kam Mickolio- The big 6 foot 9 inch relief pitcher has been very sharp thus far for Bowie… on Tuesday he went 2 and 2/3’s, 0 ER, 2 k’s, 0 BB… His season ERA is 2.38.

AA Nolan Reimold- Probably the biggest dissapointment so far this season… he is hitting just .197.

AA Chris Tillman- Yesterday went 5 inn., 4h, 2 ER, 5 K’s… this season has a 3.31 ERA.

A+ Brandon Erbe- It looks like he has turned the corner. In his last start he pitched a complete 7 inning game (double header rules) … and he allowed just 3 hits. Most impresive for him this season… in 23 and 2/3 innings… just 3 walks and 21 K’s… with a .191 BAA.

A+ Billy Rowell- off the DL and drove in 2 last night.
