By this time next week, the Orioles will be on a mad dash north to Baltimore (by way of Norfolk), and whichever questions they have about their roster construction will be essentially answered.
But until then, there’s still plenty to speculate about as far as which 25 players will get to trot onto the field for Opening Day on April 3. What happens to Trey Mancini? Is this the year they don’t keep their Rule 5 draft picks? Has Craig Gentry done enough to earn a roster spot?
These questions and more are answered below in this speculative attempt at the Orioles’ Opening Day roster.
