Having two shortstop prospects on the same roster and in the same lineup requires one consistent plan on how to handle their development.
Manager Kyle Moore experienced it with Double-A Bowie. Buck Britton is doing the same at Triple-A Norfolk.
Britton doesn’t have Joey Ortiz and Adam Hall to consider, but there’s still a pleasant excess.
Gunnar Henderson started at shortstop Tuesday night in Lehigh Valley and Jordan Westburg was his double play partner at second base. Last night’s lineup had Henderson at short again but Westburg switching to third base.
The Orioles have to make it work when pairing Henderson, the No. 3 prospect in the system, with Westburg, who’s sixth, according to MLBPipeline.com.
