BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 30% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: The Orioles may have finally settled on which young outfielders they are going to roll with this season. And it looks like Colton Cowser and Heston Kjerstad are those two guys with Kyle Stowers being the odd man out who is back down at Triple-A.
What we don't know is if any of these young talents could be used as trade bait in the coming weeks as the Orioles are rumored to be in the market for another starting pitcher. Kjerstad is likely the most untouchable of the group, but could also have the most value to help bring an impact player back in return.

One thing is for sure and it's that Kjerstad has nothing more to prove in the minors. He swatted 16 home runs and drove in 58 runs while hitting .300 at Norfolk this season.
So far, he's only appeared in 11 games for Baltimore, seven in his first cup of coffee back in May, and four games here in July. He smashed his first big league home run on Thursday night and is 4-11 at the plate since coming back up.
Kjerstad's playing time may still be somewhat limited, but he's absolutely a must-own player for now until we see how things shake out with the Baltimore outfield situation at the deadline.
