Valencia coming up (Update: Urrutia as well)

[LookitsPuck]

From Roch:

Hearing that roster move is coming for #orioles. Danny Valencia no longer with Norfolk. Will be in Texas.

My guess: Reimold is headed back to DL. Out of options, perhaps hamstring bothering him again. #orioles

[waroriole]

Might as well DFA him. Could be a good time to pass him through.

[RussellStSports]

Good. Valencia is a way better DH option than Reimold.

[Tony-OH]

I'll go ahead and wager that Flaherty or Dickerson are on the way out, too, with Hank coming up.

I'd DFA Reimold and option/DFA Dickerson and bring up Valencia and Urrutia.

Sounds like a good tag team DH combo.

[Tony-OH]

Yep. I agree. Not much to lose, really. If you really need another outfielder to play CF, Avery's a phone call away.

McLouth can always fill in in CF.

[El Gordo]

Definitely like to see Henry with Valencia. Between Dickerson, Flaherty and Casilla to make room for him. We have Pridie, a LH bat, who can play CF if we need him, so my guess would be Dickerson. But it is easy to send down Flash short term because of his option. Tough call.

Plus, now that I think about, if Buck plans on playing Roberts pretty much everyday at 2B, it might be best for Flaherty to play everyday and keep sharp in case/when Roberts breaks down.

I think they might DL Reimold and just have him around after rosters expand. Who knows, he might come in handy at some point.

[Hank Scorpio]

Right, exactly. And then if for some reason Buck needs a more long-term backup CF, he can grab someone from AAA. Or just play Hank in LF.

I'm happy to stand in, but I'm really more of a third baseman.

Looks like that is the plan!

I'd rather keep Dickerson and option Flaherty. If Henry is up to DH, then Roberts is full time 2B.

Sweet! Hope this all isn't overwhelming for him.

Woo hoo!!!

I saw this in another thread. I wonder if DD found a trade partner in Texas to dance with?
