Don't think it has to be four starters, but four players likely to play on the 25 man roster or, at the least, competing for a 25 man roster spot. In other words, it can't be a lineup of players who are slated to play in Bowie. Weeks, Young, Clevenger, Pearce, Urrutia, Gonzalez and Almanzar are all fighting for a spot on the major league roster.

According to what I just read, this is the guidelines:

MLB requires four players who were regulars or platoon players the previous season are int he lineup for at least three innings for each spring training game.

Didnt Weeks and Gonzalez play for other clubs last year, so that should count.

And Delmon started a bunch of games for PHI and TB last year. Buck barely scrapes by but I think he is following the rule.

Pretty sure Weeks was in the minors last year. Gonzalez started at 1B for Milwaukee a bunch until tearing his ACL.

Weeks was up with Oakland as a Sept call-up for nine games, according to what I just saw.

Pretty sure we aren't carrying four starters for this game.[/

Buck has to see as many players as he can. ST games don't matter if you win or

lose. Maybe this is the last chance for some to show what they can do. IMO

Looks better than the roster that Boston put up against Tampa and got fined for it.

    • Fantastic pickup by Elias and big kudos to O’Hearn for taking advantage of the resources to improve. He’s a great story. 
    • Given his injury history and what’s happening right now, Means may make more money as an Oriole next year than as a free agent. He may have to settle for league minimum as a FA but would do better than that in arbitration. Heck, unless he’s effective at least a little this year then the orioles might release him after the season to avoid paying more than league minimum. I hope Means recovers, very much so, but this scenario is possible imo.    ps. I guess I ignored the part where you said if Means thinks he is healthy. 
    • What I'd like to see in the next game Holliday plays, is for him to keep his eyes following through on the ball when he swings. In the last game I saw, he was yanking his head off the zone when he swung and couldn't see the bat to the ball. He was missing wildly and it wasn't even competitive. So, keep your eye on the ball! Follow all the way through! If your swing is so violent that it's yanking your head off the sight of the ball, then adjust your mechanics because you can't hit what you can't see!
    • What a great example of pedantic! Please tell us you meant to do that. I honestly can’t tell these days. 
    • Well it certainly doesn't look like he'll be winning Rookie of Year award. And if we send him down for like the tiniest amount of time, we get him for another year, right? I think if this poor hitting continues it's financial mismanagement not to send him back down. Grayson got sent down and came back way better.
    • He certainly isn't a bust but I wasn't happy with the pick at the time and I don't love using the second overall pick for that type of player profile. Westburg signed for slot so he's irrelevant but Mayo was a great use of the money saved.
