With the 22nd pick of the MLB draft this evening, the Baltimore Orioles selected OF Vance Honeycutt out of the University of North Carolina. Baseball America ranked Honeycutt as the 13th best pick in the field. Honeycutt hit 65 homers this year.
Obviously there’s a history of North Carolina players turning into Oriole contributors. But former Oriole BJ Surhoff and Bran Roberts were UNC-alumni. After signing, Honeycutt will presumably entered the Orioles’ farm system.

Welcome to Birdland Crush! Yes folks, for the record it's a spin off of the popular summer beverage native to the Mid-Atlantic Region - "orange crush." Nevertheless, I've been covering Orioles' baseball since 2009 in some capacity, and it's basically the greatest gig of all time so far as I'm concerned! But for those who aren't familiar with my work or bio, I'm familiar with pretty much every sport out there. But baseball is king - we all know that. So my hope is that you come back and check in after every Orioles' game, and throughout the off-season. I'm always on duty!
