38% of the O's team could be over 30

[wildcard]

(Well, by May 13th)

This seems high for a rebuilding team.   

30 - Iglesias, Givens (May 13th birthday)

31 - Wojciechowski, Velazquez

32 - Cobb, Holaday

33 - Bleier, Milone

34- Davis

35 LeBlanc

*These are baseball ages as of July 1st.

Of course, as a rebuilding team the O's hope to trade some of these players mid season.  And they hope that the younger players at AAA will force some of them off the 26 man roster.

You know as well as anyone that all of those guys except D are on expiring or short term placeholder contracts. Seems perfectly normal for a rebuilding team with holes in the pipeline.

Yeah most of these guys are going to be gone within one, maybe two years.

Look at it this way, 72% are under the age of 30.

Wasnt that long ago, it was only 30% of the team under 30.

good catch, I didnt proof my math.

Sorry

62%, which is still more than half under the Senior Citizen age of 30.

Holaday at backup C is still a pretty good longshot IMO. 

[Redskins Rick]

So from now on, Holaday will now be know as Bryan.

So let it be written, so let it be done.

Chance at catcher is another longshot.

I'm surprised, I didn't mess up that calculation. 

Also these players are not signed past 2020 for the most part. The Orioles still have to field a team while waiting on their prospects.This isn't a big deal.

No, but somebody wants to stir the pot, and incite the masses over a non-story. Image that.

wildcard picks some off-beat topics.

At least we have proof this team gives 110%
