The Orioles’ young core has led them to a strong start. There remains the potential for more youth to join in. Speaking with local reporters for the first time since the end of spring training, executive vice president and general manager Mike Elias said he was pleased with the 22-13 record the Orioles took into Tuesday night’s game against the Tampa Bay Rays, adding, “I think we can get better, too.” He largely expects those improvements to be in the form of steps forward from players currently on the roster, but the ascension of more prospects from the club’s top-ranked farm system would also add talent. Eight of the organization’s players landed in Baseball America’s latest list of the game’s top 100 prospects, and six of them are in Triple-A or the majors.
