Baltimore Orioles: Searching for the next super-utility player
The Baltimore Orioles are going into the 2019 season without a clear cut super-utility player – who fills that role for Brandon Hyde?
In the Buck Showalter era, the Baltimore Orioles had the luxury of having one player who was versatile enough that he could play anywhere to give the regulars a day off. From 2012 to 2017, that guy was Ryan Flaherty, but the Orioles decided not to offer him a contract before the 2018 season.
This year is going to be different, now that Brandon Hyde is the new manager for the Orioles. The entire roster is still a work in progress, with General Manager Mike Elias continuing to monitor the free agent market.
