Orioles sign Vlad

[clapdiddy]

I'd rather see Reimold getting regular ABs at AAA then one or two starts a week in BAL. If BAL wants Pie as a 4th OF type, I don't have a huge issue with it.

This team will definitely win more games than the 2010 version. That doesn't mean that this money couldn't have been better spent.

I'm thinking the two million we'd need to get the Delmonico kid signed is a perfect example.

I can't lie...I liked the Vlad signing, but this is an example of what you were talking about, I'm sure.

I didn't like the Vlad signing at first, but came around to it. Unfortunately, he is proving why I didn't like it in the first place. Hey it wouldn't be an Orioles season without another worst-case scenario happening.

Exactly. I think I'd move Vlad for a roll of toilet paper if we could save some money to sign more draft picks or heaven forbid get involved with international market.

Speaking of bumping old threads, was there a poll around when we signed Vlad about the forum's general reaction? That would be another fun bump.

Are the O's a wildcard contenders if they sign Vlad?

Who will have better stats, Vlad or Reimold?

Will Vlad and Lee combine for 200 RBI?

Fixed that for you.

So far, we also have Matusz, BRob, Nick, Tillman and Luke.

No!

Who would have guessed the answer was none of the above? Vlad has been awful, and Reimold has an incomplete because he was fairly awful in AAA and only has like 50 PAs in the majors.

Will Vlad and Lee combine for 200 RBI?

They're exactly 25% of the way there with half the season left, so they have a fighting chance! Should we update the poll to ask if you think they'll have 150 RBI after the AS break?

There's no worst case scenarios there, they're all still alive!

LOL exactly!

Guerrero's OPS facing the Orioles outside of OPACY is even higher (1.053 vs 1.011).

I don't think it's the park...

Correct: OPS = Oriole Pitching Sucks.
