agree with all that. I really would not mind if they went with Roberts and just had Adams and/or Andino as the backup 2B either on bench or AAA(Adams)
Regardless they need one of these guys to step up and show they FULLY deserve a spot. Andino has already taken the first step at that. Reimold has shown potential but needs to keep the momentum going.
Adams has been impressive so far and needs to keep it up this entire season til the end.

I really am lost on Luke Scott. I could see them keeping him or letting him go/trading him. We shall see what our hopefully new GM thinks (or AM again ugh)

oh and i love Reynolds at first. He seems MUCH more comfortable there.


Only problem with Reynolds at 1B is there is nothing in terms of FA at 3B and we don't have enough to trade for a premium 3B. Reynolds actually looked 100x better after the ASG at 3B before they moved him to 1B.

thats true he did. Im really not in love with this FA pool to be honest. A lot of decent OF players to target but they are more CF type and I doubt Orioles move Jones out of CF.
3B and 2B have peoole but they are aging players the Orioles should stay away from. Possibility I thought of was targeting Aaron Hill as a bounceback candidate but I would rather not have to go through enough train wreck project lol.
I would take a flier on a guy like Skip Schumaker though. Can play OF and 2B. Solid bench guy at worst.

hahah....i didnt mind TY. But not the kind of player we really need at this moment. We need someone who is more agile and has some room for growth still.

I would actually enjoy him or Kubel if they become available. Of course i also am a closet twins fan :lol:
They could be a solid LF option for us. Or DH with Reimold in LF

he is a player the Orioles should honestly target even though i would not be that thrilled over it. He could still have potentially good talent although i think he is heading towards the dreaded BUST word.


andd ffuuuu was supposed to quit but flannys death and actual baseball talked reeled me back in lol

I would take a good look at Cuddyer/Kubel whichever one becomes a FA (I doubt Minny lets both of them walk but who knows), Coco Crisp, and of course Prince Fielder.

Pitching wise I would really like to see them go after CJ Wilson.

would enjoy just getting ONE of those guys honestly lol. I really hope they are aggressive this offseason and go after ACTUAL talent and not aging talent. it has shown to not work EVER in the past 14 years essentially
