The Orioles’ outfield could get more crowded soon
Tommy Gilligan-USA TODAY Sports It finally seems — with a little more than a month left in the season — like the Orioles are going to be shifting some players around and redistributing playing time.
It’s about time.
The first step in that realignment involves sitting Chris Davis on the bench more often. In the last 10 games, Davis has started at first base only three times. Trey Mancini, on the other hand, has started six of the past 10 games at first, two at designated hitter and two in the outfield (once in right and once in left). With Trey taking his rightful place at first base and DH more frequently, that opens up an outfield spot for one or more of the youngsters.
