This is a great idea.

Sadly, there isn't a single player on this list, Major League or Minor League, that I really want us to bring back.

I think Aquino is worth keeping around for depth, but that’s about it.

Aderlin Rodriguez, Garabez Rosa, Chris Dickerson and Chris Johnson would all be decent "depth" guys and Dickerson wouldn't be bad to have that "veteran" presence in AAA with Mullins, Stewart, ect.

I could see arguments for keeping any or all of these four, especially Chris Johnson, but I wouldn't be disappointed to lose any of them, either.

That's pretty much the only pitcher I'd keep

I'd keep Berry. Maybe Triana, but just for an org arm.

So, the Orioles are turning into the KBO's affiliate?

Orioles picked up Ryan O'Rourke yesterday. He was out for all of 2017 after TJS.

Prior to injury, his numbers were all over the place... but what sticks out to me is his 11 K/9 at AAA and AA.  Seems like a hard throwing left hander who needs some consistency.

Not a hard thrower, 90mph average fastball.  Misses bats with a slider and a change-up, insane strikeout numbers vs LHB (37.5% in his short MLB career and a ridiculous 42.2% in the minors from 2015-2016).  It seems like before injury he was being misused as a regular relief guy, when his value was really as a major weapon vs LHB.

Someone else mentioned it in another thread but he’s in direct competition with Donnie Hart in ST.
