The Orioles hire of Mike Elias to be the team’s general manager has quickly reversed the gloomy outlook facing the team, offering a reason to look forward to the future in Birdland for the first time in a couple of years. He said just about everything you could want a new, modern GM to say and didn’t say anything that you wouldn’t want a GM to say.
Although Elias talked in broad terms about how he feels that there are players both on the MLB roster now and in the farm system who could be really good and a part of the next Orioles playoff team, he was also realistic in his outlook.
