To properly frame Matt Wieters' now-concluded Orioles career, consider these three comparisons from early in the catcher's professional career:
Boy, that really escalated, huh? We have comparisons to an American League batting champion before Wieters ever reaches Triple-A, to the central figure of Christianity on the eve of Wieters' Orioles debut and to a supreme being before the former first-round draft pick's first full season.
Wieters ultimately was no divine force in Baltimore. Over eight years, he batted .256/.318/.421 with 117 home runs and 437 RBIs. It is not fair to call a four-time All-Star a bust.
