    GM Mike Elias details the 'tricky' spot he, Orioles are in after demoting Heston Kjerstad

    Heston Kjerstad was on the Orioles' roster for 17 games. The lack of playing time might be surprising for a prospect of Kjerstad's caliber — ranked No. 36 by Baseball America — but it wasn't really. The Orioles are one of baseball's best teams, and getting Kjerstad into the lineup would normally require taking out a proven big leaguer. In an interview with The Baltimore Sun, Orioles general manager Mike Elias said he knew when he called up Kjerstad three weeks ago that playing time would be hard to come by and that sending him back down was a possibility.
