More Goings

Five more cuts today, as the Birds’ roster continues to take shape. #19 Ben Davis, #49 Hayden Penn, #71 Bob McCrory, #72 Fredy Deza, and #74 Zach Dillon are all headed to the minor league camp in Sarasota. McCrory’s the only cut that surprises me, as he’s had an impressive Spring. Of course, the new organizational focus seems to involve not rushing folks to the major leagues. Besides, Bob should get his shot in a month or two, when the bullpen is beset by its next round of bomb-outs/elbow injuries. The Orioles still have 45 players in camp, with open competitions at shortstop, utility infielder, backup catcher, fifth starting pitcher, and a handful of bullpen slots.
