Friday Bird Droppings: Dreaming of another Rookie of the Year for the Orioles

Good morning, Camden Chatters.

The Orioles enjoyed a day off yesterday, one of just two open dates on their spring training schedule, which gives us some time to stop and think about the important questions. Namely: how awesome is Jackson Holliday?

The #1 prospect in baseball has seen his bat come to life in his recent Grapefruit League games, and the plan to start him on the Orioles’ Opening Day roster is churning full steam ahead. Holliday is already considered the odds-on favorite to win the AL Rookie of the Year award, which is high praise for a guy who just turned 20, still looks like he’s 12, and has played just 54 games above A-ball.
