Friday Bird Droppings: Where the Orioles are restocking the scouting staff

Good morning, Camden Chatters.

Remember a couple months ago, when the Orioles let go of a bunch of their long-time scouts? Remember all the consternation and hand-wringing that followed from some media and fans? “Mike Elias has gone too far!” they exclaimed, furrowing their brows and adjusting their monocles. “Why, he intends to make human beings obsolete and simply replace them with robots and computers. That’s no way to run an organization, good sir! Nothing can replace the experienced eyes and road-weary musk of a living, breathing scout.”

Relax. Elias isn’t abandoning the scouting department.
