Bergesen, viewed by most scouts as a future big league fifth starter, doesn't have dynamic stuff, but he walked only 33 batters in 165 1/3 innings. Zach Britton Team officials are very high on the 20-year-old left-hander, who anchored Single-A Delmarva's rotation, going 12-7 with a 3.12. ERA. Since eschewing a curveball for a slider, Britton, a third-round pick in 2006, has increased his strikeout totals and significantly lowered his ERA. David Hernandez The Baysox right-hander didn't get as much attention as rotation mates Bergesen and Chris Tillman, but he was equally dominant at times with a 10-4 record and a 2.68. ERA. A season after finishing with a 4.95 ERA in Single-A, the 23-year-old struck out 166 batters in 141 innings at Double-A and allowed the opposition to hit just .214 against him Lou Montanez Montanez, the third overall pick in the 2000 draft by the Chicago Cubs, was barely on the parent club's radar heading into the season. But that changed when the 26-year-old outfielder put together a dominant season for Bowie that earned him a Triple Crown and the Eastern League Most Valuable Player award. He was promoted to the majors in August, and he has held his own offensively. Nolan Reimold The organization's top position prospect behind Matt Wieters, Reimold ended his Double-A season by hitting four home runs in four games in the Eastern League playoffs after 25 in the regular season. Though he elicits conflicting views among scouts, the Orioles love the outfielder's baseball tools. -- JEFF ZREBIEC --
