Orioles have agreed to terms with OF Tyler Colvin

[Can_of_corn]

Question, without having seen any of Spring Training or too much of how the players look thus far, who would you want as our LF going into Opening Day?

I'd have to say Urrutia, myself. He was tearing it up in the minors and I think it's just a matter of time before he figures it out at the big-league level.

Lough and it isn't close.

[Can_of_corn]

I meant the other players, the other depth we have added. I don't know if they want to open up another hole in the OF.

That's reasonable.

Colvin's only decent season was 2012. Please remember that he played with Colorado and his splits were:

Home: .338/.380/.652/1.032

Away: .244/.274/.413/.687

False. See 2010 with the Cubs. If he is healthy, this looks like a shot worth taking.

I want Lough myself. I really think Henry could use some more time at AAA, he needs to work on his overall game. He can always be an option to come up as the season progresses.

Did anyone else miss the part where a shattered bat punctured his lung in 2010? What is MLB going to do about this problem, does someone have to die?

Lough and it isn't close.

I am really curious how good he is. I think he will be a fascinating story this year. Heck maybe the Orioles have found a cheap OF for 6 years, worse case he is a 4th OF.

[Flosman]

On a deal like this does he have options available?

Talk about an up and down career, 2011 looks like it was special, wow. Can you imagine giving 200 ABs to... never mind we have.

That's perfectly fair. I would have no issue with Lough at all and you're probably right about Henry. I don't know, I just have a hunch that he's going to be a big contributor sooner than some might think.

Did you miss the part where it was 2010? Action has already been taken.

I hope you are right, he seems to have a lot of raw skill. Players like him and Lough will be very important with our lack of position players in the minors.

Punctured lung late in 2010, missed remainder of season. I'm not sure what the recovery time on something like that is, and whether it may have affected Colvin's 2011.

I expect Henry to be brought up at some point and be a big contributor from then on. He's liable to show a lot more in the field this year than he did last year, simply because he hadn't played in so long. I'd like for them to get a good look at him in Norfolk before he deals with the pressures of MLB.

What action? Those bats are still shattering.

Colvin has one option left. He was optioned in 2011 and 2013.

The option makes this a very good signing. MLB experience. Good overall talent. Adds depth to the O's system.

Look everyone, Luke Scott is back! (A poor man's Luke Scott.)
