[Daddy-O's]

Christian Walker?

One never knows. However, Buck says Manny's rehab is not physical at this point. Its getting his timing back to major league speeds. That is probably best done at AAA. Just because of that I think Manny goes to Norfolk for three games before he is called to the majors. But again. One never knows.

Honestly, what is 3 games at AAA really going to do? He could spend those same 3 days in the Orioles lineup and help this team out. Even if he goes 0-12 in those 3 games hes STILL an improvement over flaherty with just his defense alone

I think the idea is to not have Manny start his season 0-12 but instead have him as ready as possible. I see your point though.

Can Pearce be pulled back because of the injury?

He has to clear waivers. If he does clear he could be promoted to Davis spot as an injury replacement.

Thing is, we as fans don't know if he has even been placed on waivers yet.

Approximately 96% of it.

You're numbers are way off. It's more lie 98%.

Now we know the reason for his lack of power.

I am guessing we will see Manny on Tuesday. I think they are waiting to promote someone because they want to see how Manny feels after today's game.

Davis is not hitting 50 bombs this year. I wonder if he will even reach 30?

Hope i'm wrong.

Who plays first? (Assuming we don't do something crazy like signing Morales.)

It seems a waste to me to have Markakis playing there, as he's probably our second best corner outfielder defensively (behind Lough). Do we see Flaherty there occasionally? Any chance they can teach Delmon Young enough footwork to play there for a couple games?

If not Markakis, I think Clevenger is the best option. Call up Caleb Joseph to be the backup C.

Nick played great. If Flaherty isn't at first it will be Nick.

If the pitching holds up today, I could see them playing with 24 on Tuesday. Calling up Patton on Wednesday, then Manny on Friday with Weeks or Stinson heading out. Of course Pearce may not have been claimed and he could be back on Tuesday.

If he's out a month and a half, then he has to hit 28 home runs from Mid-June to end of the season... which will be similar HR rate to last year. He might not get 20 at this rate.

I wanna see Lombardozzi play some LF and Clevenger get some DH ab's.

Why? Can Lombardozzi play LF? Rather see Clevenger play some first base. Well if

he can. I just assumed he could or had.

I was thinking it was the opposite. He seemed like he may have started to press because of a slow start and swing a little harder, which strained the oblique.
