Orioles prospects season preview: Frederick Keys
The ebb and flow of prospect acquisition and development means that not every level of a team’s minor league system is sharing equally in the prospect bounty at any given moment. For the Orioles, the team that’s getting the short end of the stick for interesting prospects this season, at least to start out, is their High-A affiliate, the Frederick Keys.
This is not a surprising state of affairs to have for the Keys, given that all that has happened is that last year’s light-on-prospects Low-A Delmarva Shorebirds roster has, with some exceptions, been bumped up a level to Frederick. Good for them all for getting one step closer to the big leagues. May they all find success this year.
