FT35 Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 6 minutes ago, Bob Sacamano said: I was thinking Nicky Lopez to at least be a bench piece. They can take their pick! It’s probably another reason why more guys didn’t get moved yesterday. Everyone knew the whole roster would be put on waivers today and they can just claim anyone they want (in the odd case of a team actually wanting any of our players currently). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joejoesox Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 7 hours ago, Bob Sacamano said: Yep. Whatever money saved (including the buyout for next year, though small) is a win. Heck, I don't think anywhere thought there was a chance in hell that he was getting moved. i thought someone might've taken a shot at moncada, if he was healthy at some point, he could at least give you really good defense at 3b and, at times, streaky offense. people probably did call and ask about him, i'm guessing he's REALLY far away from being ready to play 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Orioles just lost their All-Star 3B Jordan Westburg to a right hand fracture today. There are calls for Coby Mayo to be called up.

With new owners the Orioles don’t appear to be going cheap any longer. So I’m thinking the buy out on the option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You haven't missed much so far .0 -8 also had a ball he appeared to take a bad route on clank off his glove. Wasn't called an error after a long run into the gap but I think Julks would've caught it.

Which puts him at about a $10 million player on the open market if you figure that salary times 3X to factor out over a full season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
