Exciting things are happening down on the farm in Birdland. A number of top prospects for the Baltimore Orioles are settling in and beginning to put up big numbers, strikeouts are way up, the defense looks good, and the walk-offs have been epic.
There have also been a few recent moves that we have yet to talk about. Over the past few days, the Orioles have added two free agents to minor league deals and have seen a member of the Bowie Baysox retire.
First, catcher/first baseman Cael Brockmeyer has retired. Brockmeyer was signed to a minor league deal back in January and saw some early time in big league camp when spring training started as Jesus Sucre worked through visa issues.
