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...

Heck, I don't think anywhere thought there was a chance in hell that he was getting moved. Expand 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.
