Friday Bird Droppings: The Orioles’ farm system is no longer the cream of the crop

Good morning, Camden Chatters.

Over the past few years of the Mike Elias era, one thing Orioles fans have always been able to count on is an O’s farm system that’s chock-full of promising prospects. For the last half-decade their young minor league talent has been the envy of baseball, consistently ranked in MLB’s top three by most experts. It’s been every bit the flourishing pipeline that Elias envisioned when he joined the club after the 2018 season.

For now, though, that pipeline is running a bit drier than usual, at least according to The Athletic’s prospect pundit, Keith Law.
