No one needs to spend a whole lot of time examining the 2021 Orioles roster to realize that a big problem with the team is the starting rotation. It’s a problem that could echo out beyond this year because of how many of the high-minors pitching prospects whose futures potentially included pitching in the back end of a rotation with Grayson Rodriguez and DL Hall have flamed out so far this year.
A team can never have too many pitching prospects, especially when so many of those prospects were drafted or acquired by the previous general manager, whose regime’s ability to identify and develop talent was suspect overall.
