Henry U. watch

[El Gordo]

WHen did you talk to Steve? Because he is not reporting that.

He was referring to Steve Meleski the noted Jimmy's Cab driver and baseball expert, not Steve Melewski of MASN.

Can't think of too many players who look impressive when they ground out to the infield. Is there more meaning than that in your comments?

No.......

[EagleOriole]

Are you the same guy who scooped the Feldman trade?

No - I have no inside information...just hoping.

[Malike]

Gotcha, I thought you were the same person.

Notes from Law, sorry if already posted:

• Baltimore's Henry Urrutia did nothing during the game, but since I've received a lot of questions about him and this was my first look at him, I should mention that his BP was one of the most impressive of all, maybe second only to Miguel Sano's.

http://insider.espn.go.com/blog/keith-law/post/_/id/967/key-takeaways-from-the-futures-game

• I mentioned that Baltimore's Henry Urrutia took a very good BP on Sunday, so here's some more detail. His approach overall is very quiet, with great balance throughout and more strength in his wrists and forearms than you'd guess based on his lean frame. He rotates his hips well for more power and gets very good extension through the zone. His at-bats in the game weren't great -- small sample, of course -- and he's not a good athlete. But as a second-half DH option for the Orioles, who have received a repulsive .197/.261/.382 line from their designated hitters and have taken to using the likes of Nolan Reimold in that spot -- this year, he could easily provide an upgrade.

Hard to imagine he couldn't do better than .197/.261/.382 . Since coming off the DL Reimold is 222 .222 .370 .593.

Maybe the results of his at bats weren't great, but I thought he did a very good job spoiling some pitches, and seemed to have a good feel for not chasing pitches off the plate or down below the strike zone.

Again, small sample size, but I sure scrutinized what small amount of him I saw. Frankly, I thought he was still a myth.

Mark me down as pro-trade Reimold. His got a head that could crack a walnut, but I'm not all that concerned that sending him to another team will come back to bite us.

A pessimist would look at those stats and say our DH's have completely sucked. An optimist would say our DH's have completely sucked (but at least the chalk lines aren't so messy).

The director of sales from the company that makes Urrutia's bats is Tweeting about a Urrutia call-up, and ERod just posted a photo on his Twitter of a Henry Urrutia glove with O's colors and the phrase "Orioles Henry Urrutia." It's not like Roch is reporting this yet, but IMO this could be news...

Bye bye Flaherty. I would assume Roberts slides over to 2B full time with Henry at DH and Reimold on the bench for now.

Though someone has to be DFA so maybe it's bye bye Reimold.

LOL! So much for that speculation

LOL! So much for that speculation

That's the 40 man move, right? Who's the move from the 25 man? Flash since he has options?

[TradeAngelos]

Roch Kubatko ‏@masnRoch 2m

Guess who else is not with Norfolk? Henry Urrutia. According to sources, he's gonna be in Texas for a workout. Prob added to roster after

[El Gordo]

Roch also tweeted that he guessed Nolan would go back on DL.

I think Hank is still coming up, just my guess.

If he doesn't then our only options at DH from the left side would be Roberts and Dickerson. Not too exciting.
