I get it. It’s been a long year in Baltimore. Orioles fans have suffered through another 100-loss season that reimagined exactly where rock-bottom is located. The Chris Davis 0-for streak, nine-run starts by David Hess, countless mental errors in the field and on the base paths, and a dugout dustup or two. If you’ve stuck around this long, you may feel like you deserve a reward.
Sometimes the only way a rebuilding club can reward their fans this late in the season is by giving them a sneak-peak at a top prospect or two.
