As the month of June winds down, I thought it a good time to take a look at who is leading our Orioles affiliates in performance. There has been a lot of movement within the system so I am trying to focus on with farmhands who have been with their team all season. This is not to slight any of the players who have earned well-deserved promotions, it is my attempt to draw the fan’s attention to more of the palyers in the Orioles system.
