A look at the minor league rosters and pitching rotations

A new minor league season will begin tonight for three of the four Orioles full-season affiliates. Double-A Bowie, Single-A Frederick and Single-A Delmarva will get its seasons going while Triple-A Norfolk plays its opener on Friday night.

Bowie, managed by Gary Kendall, hosts Harrisburg at Prince George's Stadium at 6:35 p.m. Frederick, managed by Ryan Minor, plays at Myrtle Beach at 7:05 p.m. Delmarva, and its first year manager Buck Britton, opens at home hosting Asheville at Perdue Stadium at 7:05 p.m. The Norfolk Tides host Gwinnett on Friday night.

Frederick has released its opening-day roster and others will be released later today. Norfolk's opening day roster will be official tomorrow afternoon. Here is what we have on the four rosters as of early this afternoon:
