Lots of moving pieces.  A lot depends on the big league roster, opt outs, and what the Orioles really think of Daz Cameron and Lewin Diaz.

1B Ryan O’Hearn

2B Connor Norby

SS Joey Ortiz

3B Jordan Westburg

C Maverick Handley (for Wildcard!)

LF Hudson Haskin

CF Colton Cowser

RF Franchy Cordero

DH Josh Lester

bench - Bemboom, Grenier, Fontana

They can’t all play there.   I’m guessing the O’s let go of Diaz and Cameron.  Cordero probably has an opt out but I’m guessing it’s more like June 1 instead of March 31.

 

Pitching

D.L. Hall

Drew Rom

Spenser Watkins

Bruce Zimmerman

Trey McGough

Michael Baumann

Ryan Watson

Logan Gillaspie

Darwon Hernandez

Eduardo Bazardo

Nolan Hoffman

Yennier Cano

Nick Vespi

 

 

You almost had it!!!  Although the roster hasn't been advertised, I was down at camp and with the exception of Franchy and that young catcher, the existing AAA roster left camp, along with Haskin and Handley.  I don't know about the pitchers though.

Not really.  I would have done much better with Cameron and Diaz.

This team is stacked. They might be more interesting to watch than the MLB team....at least for the first few months.

I had the same thought. Too bad they don't do the AAA-MLB exhibition game any more, they would give us a run for our money this year.

I've never used MiLB.tv before, but I hope since we get both now with MLB.tv, we'll eventually be able to multiview MLB games with MiLB games. I'll be watching a lot of Tides games for the first time in my life.

Don't they play on Friday?  Surprised we don't have a break camp roster yet.

I’m thinking about going to Norfolk opening day on Tuesday.  They are gonna mash this year.

I'm a little surprised Nolan Hoffman did not make the AAA bullpen after his spring with the Orioles. Wonder if he struggled when he went back to minor league camp.

Now that Diaz and Ortiz are up from Florida and Greiner has 'voluntarily retired' it is going to become easier to see who the Orioles want to develop and who is along for the ride.

Was really excited with the offense in Durham and yesterday the 4 hits vs. 14 Ks was a bit disappointing but some stats, all be it very early and a small sample size, will be interesting to watch.

The top 6 in the lineup didn't really change.  Blood has stated that those they want to get ABs will bat early and often. That has held true.  

Haskin's 42% K rate (taking into account K/PA) seems high

Cowser should come around

Norby is being Norby (which is good)

Westerburg's contact just isn't dropping or finding holes

Handley has had a good eye so far.  Numbers are drastically different start than 2022 when he started 1-25 in first 8 games and 3-31 in April.  Defense seems right where the talk has been.  Can he maintain the offense, improve power, and stay healthy

O'Hearn and Lester are streaky

Ortiz/Diaz is just too soon after 1 game in which no one hit.
