The Orioles are NOT Baseball’s worst team

As ugly as 2019 has been and will continue to be the Baltimore Orioles are not the worst team baseball and not just because they don’t have the worst record.

The Detroit Tigers hardly have one player on their current big league roster who is thought to be a major difference maker when the team is ready to compete. As good as their farm system is, they are pitching heavy and in today’s baseball where everyone’s hitting home runs, the Tigers don’t have enough offense in their farm system to say they feel confident in their future right now.

While Detroit might be worse than Baltimore, Kansas City and Miami are both better. The Royals have a young core already in the majors that should be around for a while and like the core that won them a title in 2015 may take a while to win, but surely have to the potential to do so.
Miami, is loaded with big-bats in the minors and has a rotation now that is better than a handful of teams and is only going to get better as they continue to gain experience.

Thus, in conclusion, the Baltimore Orioles seem to rank second behind the Tigers when ranking baseball’s worst teams.
