Wednesday Bird Droppings: The Orioles continue to get good news about their minor leaguers Tyler Young
Good morning Birdland,
This sort of situation is exactly what Mike Elias had in mind when he took over the reigns of the Orioles two years ago. His plan was clear. The big league team would struggle to win while the organization bolstered the farm system through an influx of talented players, coaches, and analysts.
Now, prospect rankings done by media outlets are not the same as how the various organizations regard these players. And those rankings certainly don’t mean that the Orioles will be a World Series contender in short order. But at the very least they are a sign of tangible progress that those both inside and outside of the team can point to and say “See? We are getting closer.”
