I do remember the Orioles seemed loaded forever back in those days -- Grich and Baylor led the pack -- there was also a guy named Roger Freed (also deceased) who looked like he might have been the best hitter of the lot, but he never really made it. Coggins, Bumbry, DeCinces, Dauer, Wayne Garland, Don Hood, Jesse Jefferson, Ross Grimsley -- a lot of those guys with promise passed through Rochester on their way to Baltimore.

The best lot we had (aside from 1971) was prolly '76 when we graduated Dennis Martinez, Scott McGregor, Mike Flanagan, Eddie Murray, Rich Dauer and maybe Gary Roenicke to the big club.

I believe Freed still has the Rochester franchise record for homers.
