Per the Houston Chronicle: Orioles interested in LJ Hoes and other minor league outfielders

Are you sure you're not getting him mixed up with Quentin Berry?

I think it's gotta be Berry. I would assume that LJ and Adam don't know each other well. Berry went to HS with Adam I believe.

Hoes grew up in the DC area, not Cali were Jones did.

So you are saying their are no Hoes in Cali?

There are Hoes in every area code (can I say that here? Lol)

If anyone can say that here, it is the "Dirty Bird"

The Astros gave him several chances and he never took it.

Exactly right and that's when they were still bad.

His BEST friend.

I guess Jones doesn't believe in "Bros before Hoes" :smile11:

[sportsfan8703]

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.

Exactly what I say every Norris trade debate we have. We seem to have a really good working relationship with Houston. Hoes could add to the mix of guys for LF/Rf next year. I like the idea.

[sportsfan8703]

I always rooted for Hoes to make it. At this point I see him as more of a AAAA type who would probably be below Alvarez on our depth chart. If he's a target I hope we aren't giving up much.

Just think we could have the top two in batting avg in The international league just chilling for next year. Clevenger and hoes. Makes 2016 not seem so sad.

Sounds to me like a good buy low - I mean look at Jimmy Parades and how he broke out.

[Old#5fan]

Hoes belongs in the majors imo, but be wary of relying on his PCL stats. Still, he's done well everywhere in the minors. At some point, he'll likely be a 4th OFer in the majors.

Not everyone who excels at triple A automatically does well enough to stay long at the Major League Level. Do you recall Jeff Manto who was Mickey Manto in AAA but hit like Mickey Mouse in the Majors!

Does Tommy Hunter (plus) get you Hoes? I feel like the Orioles could deal from some reliever depth.

Astros have a solid pen.
