Hardy may be days away from being back with the O's. He is in Norfolk working out. Waiting for his non throwing shoulder to heal. Once he gets in a game with the Tides, he could be in with the O's the next day. Paredes had a one game rehab. I could see JJ doing the same.

So will Buck trust 2B to Cabrera? Everth has played 14 games at SS this year. None at 2B. In his career he has played 12 games at 2B in the majors. 6 in 2010 and 6 in 2012. He has played 475 games at SS in the majors.

Buck played Cabrera in 6 ST games this spring. He was not as comfortable there as he is at SS.

Rey Navarro will probably make his major league debut at 2B tonight. He probably starts there until Hardy is ready. Then Buck and Dan make a decision. Cabrera or Navarro probably get optioned to Norfolk. Cabrera has years of experience in the the majors but not at 2B. It will be interesting to see how this goes. If Navarro is sent down he can't be recalled for 10 days. If Cabrera is not up to holding down 2B it could be a long 10 days.

The other player that could be involved in David Lough. The 25th man is always on the bubble.

Stay tuned.

I don't believe he will. I think that is why Navarro is coming up.

The two aren't necessarily related to each other. Navarro is coming up now because Cabrera is currently the everyday SS. Once Hardy returns, it's very possible Navarro goes back down and Cabrera slides to 2B.

It's possible, but don't you think we would have seen more of Flaherty at SS if that were the case?

What do you know about Navarro? I just have read a couple of things online but never seen him play before. I am hoping the O's saw something to give him a major league deal.

Navarro has been a minor league All-Star in four different years. LowA, A, and twice at AA. Years 2009, 2011, 2013 and 2014. He has played 320 games at 2B but has also played SS and 3B. His range numbers are not as good as Schoop or Flaherty but they are good. He was known for his defensive throughout his minor league career but his bat has come on in the last year. In the minors, in winter ball and in spring training.

Thanks for the feedback. Have you see him play at all?
