He got DFA for a reason.

I really like the guy, but his time in Birdland is over.

I'm thinking a minor league deal with a September call-up if it works out.

Why, we need people who can hit.

That is stunning news.

Said noone ever.

Is it worth it to improve Norfolk? He's not playing in front of Young/Cruz/Lough at this point.

He hasn't really done much for them but I'd still think about it. Unfortunately he does what we already have lots of, RH DH type.

Berry is coming up in September as the extra OF and speed guy.

Buck has already told Roch he doesn't think they will callup any more than they have to. Which means 5-7.

Buck hates playing in Boston, they dress in the hotel and then head to the stadium, since the locker room is so small.

So don't expect large roster for september.

Ah.. my bad!

Don't feel bad, I beat Tony by an hour. I just didn't think it was particularly thread worthy so I put it into the Tracking former Oriole thread.

Unless he can play 3rd, which he can't, what's the point?

I was a big Reimold fan... but the ship has sailed.

When healthy he was an unusual combination of speed and bat speed.

I'll always remember the walk off HR he hit against Mariano Rivera

We have space on the 40 man right? And we can send him to AAA for a while and keep him in the organization, right? Why not?

Would you still take him over Delmon? Not baiting you, genuinely curious.

I still don't want Delmon on the team.

For non-baseball reasons.

Norfolk's season is over in about a week. If no one picks him up, they might offer a minor league contract this winter.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking too... no need for him in the next week in AAA, and we'll have a better idea of where he'd fit in for minor league depth in the off season.
