The Houston Chronicle reported that the Orioles are expressing interest in a few of the Astros' minor league outfielders, including LJ Hoes, who began yesterday batting .341/.424/.475 with 18 doubles, one triple, three home runs, 38 RBIs and 11 stolen bases in 58 games at Triple-A Fresnso.

So we'll offer them Norris?

That is certainly an interesting revelation. I would think we have enough corner outfielders for the time being.

[Bahama O's Fan]

We have outfielders, but we need players with options.

[Aglets]

Felix Pie wasn't available?

I like how Roch has cleveland's stats against Norris instead of Texas.

lol, nice catch! I totally missed that.

Roch, if you're reading this........

Current Rangers against Norris:

.239/.301/.463/.764

Beltre has 2 HR in 6 AB vs Bud.

Fielder and Hamilton both have a bomb against him too but in slightly larger sample sizes (both have .800+ OPS's against him overall)

Strictly to fortify the depth at AAA after we move two of our ML outfielders.

An optionable version of David Lough?

That would be oddly poetic.

I believe that LJ Hoes is also a good friend of Adam Jones.

As an optionable version of Delmon Young.

I miss him in right field. Reimold also MIA. I guess either could be DFA or ADT.

I like Hoes. I mean who doesn't?

Unless your Mobb Deep ("We Don't Love Them Hoes").....

But why? He doesn't seem like a major leaguer at this point.

Young has already been replaced, so they need not do anything when they move him. It's the second guy who gets moved that's trickier. That's why I suggested Hoes would be an optionable replacement for Lough.

He is 25 years old and his OBP is .418 at AAA. If he were in the Oriole system people would be screaming for him to be at the ML level.
