Lew Ford?!

[weams]

I know! Lew Ford could do it in AAA. And then come up to the O's for 100 games, flail around miserably for three seasons and wind up back with the Twins.

At age 72.

We may see Lew in Baltimore per DD. An answer to one of the questions at the fan meeting today.

"They were asked about Lew Ford and the good stats he is posting at Triple-A.

"You picked a good one because Buck and I were talking about Lew Ford yesterday. We actually drafted him in Boston and traded him to Minnesota. He can play all three outfield positions. He's a good on-base man and he's got some power. You may see him up here," Duquette said.

Silent James has an even better recap in the Orioles Talk section.

This guy should have been up here a while ago. We really need to find a way to get Flaherty to Norfolk.

[section18]

I hope he is on the field tomorrow. The offense is sputtering and back to their 2+ double plays every game that are killing possible rallies. We need him now DD.

[OFFNY]

He will be on the field tomorrow. In Toledo.

Flaherty isn't the issue; I see his value as a young guy who if given the opportunity could be a decent player. Tolleson is a nice defensive infield bench option. Pearce has a decent bat. Chavez would be at the only natural outfielder not named Adam Jones.

The O's could easily part with Nick Johnson and bring up Ford. They are both over the hill guys and play the same position (DH).

Lew Ford was 0-5 today. His team had 32 hits. Or so it seemed.

Baseball's weird sometimes. He was the only player in the Norfolk lineup without a hit during that hit barrage. McLouth and Hall had three apiece.

He hits well in close games. He likes to showboat that way, play the hero. "Look everyone. I got the game-winning hit."

In a blowout, he decides that he is above all that stuff. So like a conceited little punk, he refuses to take part in the onslaught and goes hitless for the whole game.

Lew Ford is flat-out a bad person, no question about it.

Lew Ford, now on Twitter

@CaptainLew20

Let him know how you all feel about him, his batting average and his RISP :2yay-thumb:

[Il BuonO]

Is there some reason we can't get Adams off the 40 man and promote Ford to play LF and get Davis back at 1B? Is Adams still on the DL?

Yeah. Everybody hates him.

[Il BuonO]

Yeah. Everybody hates him.

Ok, that made me laugh.

[olehippi]

Well, bring him up so everyone can hate him in LF at Camden Yards.
