MLB Network has posted their TV schedule for the rest of the preseason. Here are the Oriole appearances:
Tuesday, March 9 1:05 pm LIVE -- ORIOLES at Twins
Wednesday, March 17 9:00 am REPLAY -- ORIOLES at Rays [game played previous afternoon]

Thursday, March 25 2:00 am REPLAY -- ORIOLES at Red Sox [game played previous evening]
Most of it is about maximizing the value to the team. Which is fine I guess but it isn't about development and it certainly isn't about what is best for the player.
I think challenging players leads to faster improvement. Look at how hyped folks are about Gunnar. You think that would be the case if they hadn't thrown him in with more advanced players last year?
I think you can learn things in the majors that you can't learn in the minors.
Overcoming adversity builds strength.
