Thursday Bird Droppings: Pulling for a hometown Orioles prospect

Hello, friends.

There are now 56 days remaining until Orioles Opening Day. The 1956 Orioles wrapped up their season with a 69-85 record, missing out on first place in the American League by 28 games. Left fielder Bob Nieman was the team leader with 4.0 bWAR even though the team only acquired him on May 26. This performance got him 7th place in the MVP voting.

The start of spring training is now a mere 12 days away. The team right now is probably the team that will be showing up in Sarasota, and the team that shows up in Baltimore will probably be made out of the players who are in the organization right now.
