In the long ago time where everyone thought that the Orioles outfield from the end of the 2019 season would be the Orioles outfield at the start of the 2020 season, there was not a lot of thought given to DJ Stewart. After getting surgery on his ankle last October, Stewart was not even going to be in the Opening Day picture if the season had begun as scheduled in late March.
Even if there hadn’t been that surgery, Stewart probably wouldn’t have ended up being penciled in to too many imagined lineups back at the start of spring training.
