I don't know. What if we resigned him, have him pitch some good baseball for two months then trade him for two more DSL players.

Well, there's always that. It could work.

I don't know if there's ever been a player who went from the Blue Crabs to eventually play on the O's.  Maybe one or two went the other way. 

More than a few. When you make the Baltimore area your home and wash out of affiliated ball, Southern Maryland Blue Crabs is a nice landing spot.

They won't have the advantage of having worked with him before that moment.

Hyde and Elias, thinking ahead.

Been saying it for years.  Unless you got a pitch like Britton of course.
