Early in the season, there was nothing day to day about how the Orioles set up their outfield. Even as they dealt with a brief absence from center fielder Adam Jones, more often than not it was Mark Trumbo and Joey Rickard manning the corner spots.
They had little reason to look elsewhere, with those two hitting well and the club winning more often than it lost.
A second straight start for left fielder Hyun Soo Kim on Thursday, combined with the cooling of Rickard's hot start, means there now might be more to ponder when assigning the corner outfield spots as the Orioles move forward.
