Apparently, we signed someone the FO *really* likes

Showalter says the #orioles already have signed a 6-year minor league free agent yesterday that they wanted to "get out in front of."

Huh... wonder who that could be?

Jakabauskas?

I'm kidding...I think!

and a blurb

[Austin]

Get ready for Jeff Fiorentino, round 3. Really, though, why can't they announce who it is?

[NewMarketSean]

I'm guessing it's someone from Texas. At any rate it's good to see them being proactive for a change, even though it's probably some 29 year old AAAA player.

[Sports Guy]

Adam Miller?

[SrMeowMeow]

You guys must be dumb.

3B: Scott Moore (AAA)

[Dipper9]

You guys must be dumb.

3B: Scott Moore (AAA)

Knott this again. No Moore, please!

[TGO]

I'm going to guess it's one of these Texas guys I've bolded.

Texas Rangers (19)

RHP: Omar Beltre (AAA), Manny Corpas (AAA), Adalberto Flores (AA), Derek Hankins (AAA), Merkin Valdez (AAA)

LHP: Doug Arguello (AAA), Zach Jackson (AAA), Beau Jones (AAA)

C: Kevin Cash (AAA), Robinzon Diaz (AAA)

1B: Brad Nelson (AAA)

2B: Travis Adair (Hi A), Matt Kata (AAA)

3B: Esteban German (AAA)

SS: Andres Blanco (AAA), Luis Cruz (AAA), Nick Green (AAA)

OF: Doug Deeds (AAA), David Paisano (AA)

BA's list of minor league free agents is here: http://www.baseballamerica.com/blog/prospects/2011/11/minor-league-free-agents-2011/

Corpas, btw, was the closer for the Rockies in the WS a couple years ago, so while he is not a Showalter guy he is someone I think they will be interested in. He's also a groundball guy.

[UMDTerrapins]

I would guess it's a catcher.

[Chevytrckman3]

Brandon Wood?

That way, tommorrows headline can be " The Orioles get Wood "

[MikeAD]

This is interesting. You don't usually find guys with a ton of upside who have been in the minors for six years. This is exciting, I guess exciting is the word.

[Going Underground]

Max Ramirez from the Giants? Catcher and 1B and played for Texas,

[LookinUp]

Brandon Wood?

That way, tommorrows headline can be " The Orioles get Wood "

Maybe it was a few guys?

The Orioles get Moore, Wood. Knott.

[Dipper9]

Brandon Wood?

That way, tommorrows headline can be " The Orioles get Wood "

Better yet..."Dan Duquette on his first day: I got Wood!"
