Baltimore Orioles manager Brandon Hyde is impressed by several players who are seizing the opportunity to show they can become cornerstones of the rebuilding franchise.
Whether they've been overlooked, designated for assignment or simply did not fit into the plans of other big-league clubs, the door is open at Camden Yards.
"A lot of our guys have a lot to prove," Hyde said. "They're getting an opportunity to play in the big leagues and getting an opportunity to play consistently. Maybe they haven't had that chance. I feel great about our guys taking advantage of the playing time they're getting. I hope they're taking every opportunity to take advantage of it because they don't know if it's ever going to happen again."
