Reimold: The Look in His Eye

[srock]

You can see that look in his eye...I'm not sure you want to take that away from him.

Paraphrasing Buck and Brady about Nolan Reimold.

Good stuff right there. Queue 'Eye of the Tiger' and workout montage.

Not quite the same, but same effect.

Reimold will be the Orioles 2013 MVP. Mark it down, remember the date. Nolan Reimold, Orioles MVP for 2013.

"He can be a big player for us this year, something that a lot of people have forgotten about. We haven't, but also I'm not going to be constantly telling Nolan that, because he thinks that all of us have forgotten about Nolan."

Later, Showalter added, "You can see that look in his eye. He's friendly to me, but he's got that... Brady (Anderson) made a good point. He said, 'I'm not sure you want to take that away from him,' and I agree."

I think we may have found our MOOOOOOOOO

With all due respect to Betemit's ability to hit right-handed pitching...if Reimold is healthy and productive, he should be the full-time DH.

amen brother.

Nolan's a huge key to this season....140 games at LF/DH, 25 HRs and 80 RBI .265....I hope he knows we're all pulling for him.

I love spring training.

Is this the batter's equivalent to the ball looks good coming out of his hand.

Unless McLouth regresses with the bat.

"The ball looked good coming out of Scott McGregor's hand." He 60 unfortunately.

Nate was signed to be the LF'er. I am sure Reimold may get some time at LF but most of his AB's will be DH'ing.

There will be enough AB's to keep everyone happy and productive.

Nate was signed to be depth. Buck has made very clear that Spring Training is a time for competition. I would guess very few players have roles completely nailed down.

I disagree. I think McLouth was signed to be the 4th outfielder. You don't sign a starting LF for what McLouth is making. If anybody else saw him as a starter he would have cost the O's more.

I also think that even if I am wrong and McLouth is anointed the starter if he plays like he did in Atlanta he will quickly become the 4th outfielder.

McLouth resurgence was a great story last year. I am not convinced he will be able to maintain that level of play.

I think that would be stating the obvious.

I belive Mclouth will be in LF since he is a great option as a leadoff hitter and has defensive value.

I thought his reasoning behind signing with the Os was he wanted to be able to prove that 2012 was not a fluke. He probably could have signed a bigger deal but would have been a 4th OF'er somewhere else and he did not want that.
