Not exactly the best source there clearly, what the hell do we need Pie for? Sounds like a bunch of BS. No worries.

If Pie means no Wise, but yeah, MLBTRADERUMORS does tend to suck when it comes to things like this.

I'm just going to assume this is nothing more than someone suggesting a trade of those two players, and MLBTR looking too far into it.

 

It'd be completely indefensible move. And not even "this must be a precursor to another move" crowds could justify it, because really, there's no way it's a precursor to anything but throwing Pie on the bench or down to Charlotte.

Here is the story FWIW...

 

http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/orioles...0,5313097.story

 

Pie, the 24-year-old outfielder who has started just three of the Orioles' past 21 games, is eight for his past 20 with four RBIs while getting limited at-bats with the emergence of rookie Nolan Reimold in left field. According to sources, the Orioles discussed Pie with the Chicago White Sox in a potential deal revolving around third baseman Josh Fields, but it's not known how much interest, if any, the White Sox still have in the outfielder.

They can play Fields at 1st, 3rd and LF. Pie can't do that.

 

There is no other backup 1B close to the majors now unless you count Flowers or Cook.

 

I'd much rather see Flowers than Fields...

 

Fields has much better potential at this point than Pie.

 

If Fields just gets rid of that stupid hitch before he swings, he'd actually hit a damn fastball and hit some homers.
