Dan Connolly: Orioles Still Trying to Obtain a Lefthanded Hitting Infielder

[Old#5fan]

You've got that right. He's done the job time and time again and there's no respect for him as a player.

Same ol', same ol'.

Even Buck didn't seem high on him until we got into June and he was forced to adjust the lineups more often. Young has been a solid bench dude and I really hope he returns next season. We've got the support we need and it still isn't enough for some fans.

I don't get it.

I have posted favorably about Young all seaso

And I have not gotten it either the dislike of his performance.

I am still trying to obtain a date with Maria Carey as well.

Good luck. I think her ass has its own zip code now.

That might be true of Mariah, but Maria might have been hitting the gym lately. Not familiar with her routines, tbh.

[El Gordo]

I think they should go after Adam Dunn.

The Orioles have talked to multiple clubs about trading for an infielder, and they checked in on Gordon Beckham at some point before the White Sox dealt him to the Angels. Since the Angels (who own the best record in baseball) claimed Beckham on waivers, that would mean the O’s had an initial chance to claim the second baseman themselves but chose to pass.

Just bring up Jemile Weeks?* (I still think that Schoop can play some 3B in a pinch, on top of Flaherty.)

*Weeks does a lot of things the O's don't do well.

Wow! Amen!!! I would have recalled Weeks a while ago. Yes, his defense isn't superb but he has a good OBP and can run! Him and Berry could help us!

Niuman Romero, a switch-hitter, was lifted for a defensive replacement in the 9th inning at Bowie last night. Wouldn't surprise me if he is in Baltimore today after the Pearce injury. Even if Pearce is only going to miss a day or two, they could option Gonzo for Romero.

Wasn't he still on the DL up until last week?

I'd say you are right. Is he on the 40 man though?

He's been back about 2 weeks. And hit something like .380 over his last 10 games.

He's not, but they are at 39 after Phelps, and Machado can also still be moved to the 60-day DL.

Romero is not young (29) and had a ML cup of coffee in 2009-10, but he was voted best strike zone judgement AND best defensive 3B in the Eastern League this year.
