The Baltimore Orioles recently made a series of moves to create space on their 40-man roster for four players to return from the 60-day disabled list. With the 40-man now full, and the Rule 5 draft forthcoming, the Orioles will again have to adjust the roster if they want to protect their eligible players.
At the moment, it would appear obvious that the Orioles will aim to protect RHP Dillon Tate and catcher Martin Cervenka by adding them to the 40-man. They could also choose to protect LHP Luis Gonzalez, as Roch Kubatko suggested, however we won’t know for certain until it happens.
