Just saw this from Roch.

Any insight into their goal here?  Just a developmental thing?  I can't imagine they'd call him up, right?

A suspicious soul would wonder why they waited.

Allows him to be part of the organized developmental program.

Glad to see it. They still have 6 additional openings if you don't count Wilkerson and Blach.

I believe Elias has said that Lowther and Zimmerman are going to be added sometime too.

Happy to see this and I like Weam's optimism, but I've seen the results of far too many Orioles "Ace's" come through the system to call him that yet.

It's just to get him some workouts and intrasquad innings in front of staff.

Not too much else they could actually do for him, this season for minor league growth.

Shouldn't Hall be on that list? He was drafted a year earlier than Grayson and should be a year ahead of him. Is this year going to put him behind?

Ah, that's good. He wasn't on the list I saw but I remember now they've been adding guys since the initial list.

Well, he is as close to the real thing as we have seen for a while. He was supposed to be this. And so far he has been. Everyone else was an over performer or a Bedard fluke.

Have to be on the 60 to be traded. Obviously once they got into first place they wanted another trade chip to make a run this year. Edit: not in first anymore I guess, but still in contention of course.
