man it's gonna be hard to pick the 13 going north for opening day . want shock me if like the start of the season having 14 players and 11 pitchers . pedro and trey are killing it makes me think about a trey rf can't be as bad as Trumbo and let Trumbo /pedro dh . I hope ryan is gone just tired of him being the super sub . tavarez sp love his speed . I bet the bp will be shuttled a lot so they could extend the games with less of a bp on many nights . we will have a lot of pitchers with options so use 2 games a row then down next man up or rotate the 5th starter sorta like a spot starter .

After watching Pagan tonight, the O's should have signed him when they had the chance. Guy can still play.

Not at that price which is why he is still unsigned. Maybe $3M w/incentives would work. He would be our every day RF and Smith and Kim can platoon LF. Rickard can be sent down for now. Pagan gives us that LH bat and lead off.

jones is going to lead-off or gentry...sorry ted wrong quote right response
looking at past work . I would like a high avg obp guy like trey . I would let him learn rf and let smith and tavarez be late game replacements . trey has hit .300 avg with power everywhere . this team is going to have a lot of tough calls but trey makes the team better .

I can't stand seeing Jones hit lead off. Has no plate discipline at all. At this point in his career, he is a 5-6 hole hitter. He had a few bright moments in the WBC but as a whole, he was less than adequate at the plate.

Buck doesn't have much to work with at this point at that spot. cant put manny there or you are going to waste some RBI numbers. Gentry has hit in that spot before and he is having a great preseason at the plate if that means anything

I seen Kim projected to lead off. Not much speed there though.

The Orioles have announced the releases of outfielder Michael Bourn and infielder Chris Johnson. In Bourn’s case, he utilized his opt-out clause, with the team evidently unwilling to place him on the 40-man roster.

Not much of a surprise on this. Johnson had a decent spring though.

Good question. Sandtander will start on the DL so I guess we'll keep him for now. Maybe that'll give them time to see about Gentry and Smith if they can hit on the MLB level.

I'm not opposed to see Ryan go. He's been on the team for a few years and really hasn't done much at all on offense. I wouldn't mind seeing them keep Gio instead.

The Orioles have acquired righty Alec Asher from the Phillies, per a team announcement. Baltimore will send a player to be named in the transaction, which gives Philadelphia an open 40-man spot.

Orioles option Wright to Triple-A

Gentry has already hit at the MLB level with the Rangers and had a torrid preseason
