Tuesday Bird Droppings: The Orioles’ future is on full display

Good morning, Camden Chatters.

I’m not saying that the spring training version of the Orioles is more exciting than the one we’ll see in the regular season, but...I’m not not saying that.

Case in point: yesterday’s Grapefruit League contest against the Phillies, despite ending in a 7-1 loss, featured a smorgasbord of intriguing young O’s talent. A whopping seven of the Orioles’ top 10 prospects — all but the injured Adley Rutschman and Heston Kjerstad, and the recently reassigned Grayson Rodriguez — made an appearance in the game. In the eighth inning, in fact, the Orioles’ infield consisted of Gunnar Henderson (#3 prospect), Jordan Westburg (#6), Coby Mayo (#7), and Joey Ortiz (#15).
