The number 1 prospect in baseball Jackson Holliday will start the season in AAA. He’s been doing really good in ST and in the minors last year. They probably don’t want to start his major league clock too soon.

I don’t get the move. Teams seem pretty excited about the free draft picks from highly performing rookies who start the season on the roster and get ROY. A year of Holliday, especially since he’s the type of player the Orioles will likely lock up before he hits arbitration, is the perfect candidate.
