The great Earl Weaver once told me that he would take “all shortstops” in the June draft “because they’re the best athletes on the field, they can play anywhere.” There were shortstops all over the field this morning in SD-LA game.
@Kurkjian_ESPN Earl sure did know baseball.
@Kurkjian_ESPN Ok. But can they pitch? I get it…they’re good athletes, but it always comes down to pitching.
@Kurkjian_ESPN Shortstops, centerfielders and catchers. That’s what the current O’s have been doing.
@Kurkjian_ESPN The Orioles are about to have 3 in their infield on opening day. Westburg, Gunnar Henderson, and Jackson Holiday. Were able to trade their other SS prospect for a Cy Young pitcher
@Kurkjian_ESPN Some of the former shortstops used better gloves than others. 🤷
