Update on Matt Wieters - Looking like June 4th Return

[Aglets]

How is Paredes at 2nd?

I fear he must be bad, if Buck is playing Pearce instead.

Paredes has a perfect fielding % at 2B this year!

[Say O!]

I look as Wieters return as providing sustainability to the catcher positional value. In other words, his return can help O's maintain a 5 win pace out of the catcher position.

Long run full season 2015 of CJ + Wieters = 5 WAR.

Now if could just get SP and Pearce straightened out.

So did Jeter at points in time, that doesn't mean I want him at that position.

If and When Wieters is with the Orioles, he will start...

This. Buck said as much, back in Sarasota.

And yesterday he said Wieters and Joseph could rotate, every other day, for a while.

That is interesting.

[ArtVanDelay]

Who? When's Schoop going to be back?

You ever see Jeter play SS?

I don't think adding Wieters is going to win us many games over Joseph. I think Matt is also going to be REALLY, REALLY feeling the pressure to perform due to his pending free agent status and he may well be awful at the plate for quite a while.

[El Gordo]

Worst case scenario, Wieters will be an upgrade over Lavarnway.

[UpstateNYfan]

If Paredes continues to perform at DH and gets benched every other day with Wieters DHing (to get his bat back), I will not be happy. If he is not ready to hit, I don't want him back. We hear he is catching 8 or 9 innings...what is his bat doing against A Ball players?

There is nothing to suggest that will be the case.

Most likely, but Wieters has upside with the bat that's not there for Joseph.

I really like the prospect of having both of them. That should be an excellent combo.
