But if 28 of those days are in September, after rosters expand, he only needs to be hidden on the 25-man roster for 62 days.

I am sure the Red Sox will have recourse if the Orioles abuse the system.

He may be a corner OF in 2 years, and 6-03 210. He certainly is not a ML ready 3B right now, but 1B would be a last resort for me at this point. His RH power is a valuable commodity. If he has a good attitude and work ethic, I believe you do what you can to keep and develop a talent like him.

Almanzar has Patellar Tendinitis. He will start the season on the DL it appears.

The Almanzar issue is now officially tabled until something unforeseen happens or he comes off the DL.

Good enough for now.

I thought he fouled off a pitch?

I thought so too. He hurt it playing first base.

Good heavens! Why on earth would they do that?

He "hurt" it?

Just seems like an odd coincidence that he fouls off a pitch then suddenly has tendinitis.

Really odd.

Just offer him back the Red Sox don't want him i bet. Then i doubt anyone would claim him.

Really odd.

I reported it incorrectly when the knee was swollen originally. He tweaked it in the ninth inning of a game, it became swollen, And I mis-reported the cause here. Nothing to see.

Must spread rep.

Already got him.

Maybe him going to the DL buys time for a Pearce/Young trade? If whichever of those two (or both) makes the team swings a hot bat and someone goes down for another team, perhaps they have some value. Then almanzar would eventually come back and possibly take that RH Dh role?

I'd set the O/U on at-bats for Almanzar with the Orioles this year at 0.5.
