Never heard of him...sounds like a typical O's signing:)

[fearthenoodle]

1.073 OPS vs. LHP in 2013 for Texas, .875 for his career.

I wonder if there is any real evidence of the Orioles to be interested other than the potential openings at 2B and LF.

I would be all for Jeff Baker as a platoon option with Flaherty or Lough (should Reimold suffer an injury).

Wasn't this guy an OH favorite target for a bit, or am I thinking of another guy with the last name Baker?

Ginger? Home Run?

Wow, talk about your prototypical journeyman... Jeff Baker.

Now, if we could only get a Butcher and a Candle Stick Maker.

He's been a bit above average at 2B and 3B. As an OF not so much. Probably more useful as a RH DH and platoon partner for Flaherty, than Young, who shouldn't be alowed to wear a glove.

Ginger? Home Run?

At 2B, Ginger Baker would be the Cream of the crop.

Didnt really read much of this thread... however I thought there was really a guy named Ginger Baker....

But its just another person being looked at so we must create another "are the orioles interested thread"

Baker is a good player. Would fit right in with the types of moves DD has made this winter. I'd be okay with this for two years or less. He's at least as good (probably better) than Valencia, and more versatile.
