Orioles Claim Joey Terdoslavich (DFA for Davis Passed through Waivers)

[SteveA]

Switch hitter.

Basically a lefty bat... clearly a shot across the bow to Boras/Davis.

The chess match continues.

Berry wasn't very good. It's not puzzling.

He wasn't very good last year. With what he did in 2014, especially against LHers, I would have been more patient. Especially when no move was necessary.

[weams]

Oh man...I ran over as soon as I heard. Has anyone posted this yet?

Or this?

My God...the possibilities are staggering. Well done, DD. Well done. I'm assuming Mr. T.'s going to be...what? Admin. support? Eh, figure that out later. The Christmas party finally has a chance to be funny.

No. You are the first.

In fact, Joey was exactly Tim's value.

I hope you are being facetious. If this guy is part of a chess match, it's like putting your pawn unprotected directly in front of your opponent's queen.

What a boring offseason. I'm anxious for spring training to start.

Yep, dumb and unnecessary move. Check out Roch's tweet, he agrees.

So rank these three players:

Terdosalvich (27) with one option remaining

Urrutia (29 before ST) with option remaining

Paredes (27) with no options remaining

[Moose Milligan]

The Terd Bird.

[25 Nuggets]

So rank these three players:

Terdosalvich (27) with one option remaining

Urrutia (29 before ST) with option remaining

Paredes (27) with no options remaining

1) Jimmy

2) Joey

3) Henry

[Crazysilver03]

I fully expect this guy to be DFA by ST.

[Roll Tide]

I fully expect this guy to be DFA by ST.

He's AAAA fodder....I don't understand adding this guy. I can't even say good depth move. The Orioles have too many of their own guys like this.

Unless we're trading Mancini or Walker as part of a deal for a pitcher????

[Aristotelian]

So rank these three players:

Terdosalvich (27) with one option remaining

Urrutia (29 before ST) with option remaining

Paredes (27) with no options remaining

They seem pretty much indistinguishable. Urrutia might have a bit less pop than the other two. Terdo is the only who switch hits and has options.

1. Terdo

2. Urrutia

3. Paredes (based more on the lack of options than talent)

But it's very close and I would not be upset to lose any of them.
