Orioles Push Oliver Drake Onto 40 Man Roster

by Louie Miller @ 11:36 am. Filed under 2012 Orioles

The Orioles put right handed pitching prospect Oliver Drake onto the 40 man roster and in effect, they protected him from the Rule 5 draft coming up in a couple of weeks. Drake pitched at three different levels last year and put up some solid numbers. He did struggle once he got to Double-A though and my guess is that’s where he starts the 2012 season.

That put the number of players on the 40 man roster to 39. The Orioles have been in talks about signing a Korean pitcher so he could be the final roster spot but that also meant there were some odd men out. 2011 Minor League pitcher of the year, Tim Bascom, was left off the roster so he could be scooped up by someone in December.
