The 2019 Orioles, like the 2018 team before them, are a very, very bad baseball team. As things stand right now, they are in line for a second consecutive #1 overall pick in next year’s draft, with a top 5 pick in the draft seeming likely even if they manage to improve somewhat over the remainder of the season.
One reason that the Orioles are where they are right now is that there is not a lot of hope for things to get better for the MLB club this year. The roster is a mess and the holes have not been plugged by any of the Norfolk call-ups to date.
