Henry Urrutia looking to help Orioles fill void in right field

[Redskins Rick]

No, but I'd imagine that Cruz was behind several infielders and maybe a pitcher or three on the center field depth chart.

Maybe, but Buck did it, twice in back to back games, when he was still pretty young.

Nellie also had some experience in CF from his minor league days.

So what you are saying he the scouts think Urrutia is a better hitter than Mancini?

What I'm saying is that Urritia is better able in their opinion, right now, to fill the need they have. That is obvious otherwise they would not have called him up. I'm sure the 40 man plays into it as does service time, but if they really felt he was ready to play at the major league level they would make the room for them and bring him up. This organization loves to make roster moves. That does not mean that Mancini will not be the better player long term, but it's clear at this moment, they think Urritia better fits the current need. I seriously doubt they set a room and said that Mancini fellow could do a really good job for us but let's bring up Urritia instead. More likely they probably considered it but decided to give Mancini a little more time to develop

I am sure Tony is right. Wheels come off of many things.

Of course he's right, DD has been hearing the voice of Sid Thrift, thinks PA can read his mind, is hallucinating Mickey Mantle when he looks at Henry and is deluded into thinking he's a competent GM. :rolleyestf:

He's just a bigger dude now, and he pulled one.

Has Urrutia actually been called up yet?

And is Snider still in DFA limbo or actually with one of the O minor league teams now?

Well let's hope this SLAP hitter can slap a few hits.

Does he have 5 years of service time yet? I feel like he would have to accept an assignment if he isnt claimed. Though he would be a minor league free agent after the year.

Are they waiting on Wieter's condition?

Keep in mind a lefty is now starting today who wasn't supposed to yesterday. Maybe just waiting a day.
