It’s hard to find a team with a bigger disparity in the statuses of its infield and outfield than Baltimore as the 2021 season approaches.
For the Orioles, the outfield is the known commodity. It’s deep. There are familiar names and faces at all three spots. You have a good idea of what you’re getting, because you’ve seen it before.
The infield? Different story. Question marks are everywhere. As spring training approaches — less than a month until pitchers and catchers, people — both of the corner and up-the-middle spots appear primed to feature a new name in a starring role, or a fixture with an air of mystery and uncertainty surrounding his 2021 performance.
