Behind the Orioles’ veteran trio that is currently anchoring the rotation, there’s been a lot of turnover.

As we eagerly await the arrival of top pitching prospects Grayson Rodriguez and DL Hall, we’ve had time to observe another crop of young Oriole starters in their first exposure to the majors. The results aren’t great so far.
