The Orioles are undergoing a massive facelift. Recent trades have left their major league roster with a combination of players that, for the most part, fall into two categories: stopgap veterans and unproven youngsters. The guys that are neither one or the other now find themselves in limbo. Will they be a part of the next winning team in Baltimore? Or will they be leveraged as a controllable trade chip in the next year or so?
Trey Mancini is one of those tweeners. In most cases, a guy that batted .293/.338/.488 and finished third in the Rookie of the Year voting just a season ago would be someone to build around.
