Game 31, Orioles at Mariners – The Minor League Season is Here

Justin Dunn vs. Jorge López, 7:10pm

Old heads may remember that the Orioles once had a highly-touted, flame-throwing righty named Daniel Cabrera. At times, he was even compared to the M’s young phenom, Felix Hernandez (or maybe, Felix was at one pointed ineptly comp’d to Cabrera, who debuted a year before the King in 2004). Cabrera threw 96, quite impressive for a starter at the time, and had a big, hard slider that flashed plus. If you saw him on the right day, you understood the hype. But such days were few and far between, as persistent control problems and an inability to hold runners left him a marginal MLB player.
