Shorebirds have stability at the top
This is a great item to ease readers into the work week, particularly one where winter weather is forecast.
The Orioles announced the coaching staffs for their minor league affiliates late last week and revealed that the top two coaches from last year will return - Ryan Minor stays as manager and Troy Mattes returns as the pitching coach.
We do have to wave goodbye to Mike Devereaux, who was promoted to coach at Frederick. He’s replaced by onetime big league shortstop Jose Hernandez. The well-traveled 2002 All-Star makes his Shorebird debut after a season coaching Oriole prospects in the Gulf Coast League.
Now that Shorebird fans are assured that these two fan favorites will return we can get excited for the upcoming season, which begins in just 64 days with their second annual exhibition game against Salisbury University on Tuesday, April 5th.
And not only will we host the South Atlantic League All-Star Game this season, I happen to know that there will also be exciting changes at the stadium this year. It’s also likely we may see one of the game’s top prospects don a Shorebirds jersey for a time, as Manny Machado (who hit .306 in 9 games split between the GCL Orioles and Aberdeen) is likely to be placed here. Otherwise, we’ll be pretty disappointed.
Are you ready for some…baseball? I know I am!
