The first weeks of the season I await the fateful day that the Orioles starters pass 100 plate appearances so I can write about them with at least a degree of authority. To pass the time I scour the minor league box scores to see who, if anyone is off to a hot start. Oddly enough, the Orioles have a decent chunk of hitters off to a hot start. So many that I have excluded the pitchers off to a hot start.
All stats in this post do not include the games from last night. While reading box scores to scout a player is foolhardy, I like to look at three things.
