Take a moment to think about the Orioles current lineup. If the season began today, which nine guys would be called upon to start? There’s some familiar faces in that group and probably a few unknowns.
It’s already been established that Baltimore will not be in contention this season, and they likely will not be very active in the free agent market. This rebuild is going to take a while, and the Birds are going to attempt to build from within.
The Orioles will also be active in the trade market. Come the end of July, several players that are currently on the roster will be replaced with lottery-ticket prospects and some hope for the future.
