The longer Jordan Westburg and Gunnar Henderson play baseball in the Orioles system the easier it is to picture them playing in Baltimore. The duo have the pedigree, a proven track record at multiple affiliates, and now find themselves just one level from the major leagues.
Henderson makes the jump after being named the Eastern League Player of the Week. It was not his first time winning the award but certainly figures to be his last. Henderson got the bump after slashing .312/.452/.573 this season. His 41/38 walk-to-strikeout ratio represented an impressive batting eye and the fear he struck in opposing pitchers.
