BALTIMORE (AP) — Orioles general manager Mike Elias faces a fascinating challenge in the coming weeks and months.
His farm system is overflowing with hitting prospects who look increasingly ready for the major leagues, but finding room for them could be tricky.
The Orioles called up infielder Jackson Holliday earlier this week. That was a pretty easy call — he’s the game’s top-ranked prospect according to MLB Pipeline, and he hit well during spring training and a brief stint at Triple-A Norfolk. But there are several other players at Norfolk who have been absolutely slugging the ball to start the season, and it’s unclear when they might reach the majors.
“Baseball tends to take care of itself a little bit with injuries and just different matchups popping up, and I’m sure their time’s coming,” Elias said. “But we’re not going to sit there and watch players dominate a level for too long.”
