Thursday Bird Droppings: Where the Orioles pulled off a draft surprise

Hello, friends.

In the parallel universe where everything is exactly the same as this one except that there was no need to shut down anything and the baseball season could go on unimpeded, the Orioles would have played 67 games by now. Instead, well, you know.

The days surrounding the draft were probably always going to be one of the most exciting things about the 2020 season for the Orioles. This has become even more true now that there is absolutely nothing else sports related happening.

Last night, the Orioles made what will hopefully prove to be key parts of their continuing rebuilding effort by taking Arkansas outfielder Heston Kjerstad with their #2 pick in the draft.
