Orioles agree to terms with Cuban outfielder Reinier Romero

[weams]

I'm sensing SSST.

Lets see. Looks stupid on paper. Is Orioles. Must be stupid.

Or

Maybe someone or some process says it makes sense.

Either.

I'm going to guess that someone who knows way more about scouting than me (and other armchair GMs here) saw that the guy was 28 and still thought enough of him to give him a shot.

Is this our Terrance Gore?

Again, at his age, he is not a prospect. He's supposed to be usable.

So he won't have to start next season in the minors "adapting" or "gaining strength"?

They putting him on the 40 man and calling him up next month?

Only has to be in the organization. And Bundy on the DL.

I'm asking you to call it. Are we going to see this not so young man in Baltimore this season?

[Orioles4Life21]

I have no idea. I don't know the player at all. I saw the Cuban National Team this summer post-signing splurge and there were definitely no dudes (though I guess this guy left some time ago).

The Gourriel brothers are dudes.

Neither was on the Pan Am team.

Guessing? No.

They sign yet another mediocre Cuban corner outfielder in their late 20s while refusing to invest money on elite young international amateurs . Color me unenthused.

Small sample size theater - for the walk rate.

Weams has volunteered to donate $100 to the first person who can find Romero's complete Cuban league stats.

Yup, I am huge Jonathan Schoop fan. The only thing I don't like about him is his lack of elite-ness. Wei-Yin Chen has had a good run with the O's but it would have been better if he was younger and more Dominican.

No I haven't. Don't care about stats on a mystery man. Let's see what he can do for 800k. There is a story.

Jomar. All kidding aside, you have to buy one of those 18 year old steroid abusers with 16 year old paperwork to spend the big money.
