Opening day 25 man?

[ChuckS]

They key is how comfortable are they with Flaherty as 5th COF?

He won't be. He will be the sole utility infielder. The rest of the bench would be Joseph, Reimold, and Avery or maybe another LF hitting OFer that we pick up off the scrap heap.

With Wright as the 4th starter and Wilson out of the pen

Makes sense. Buck can decide on his fifth starter closer to April 10th depending on how much Worley and Wilson have pitched up to that point.

Why was Flaherty playing LF, just the other day?

Avery has a hip flexor injury, I thought?

Flaherty plays one game in the OF and you assume he is going to be the fifth OFer? He may have to play out there at some point in the season. I just think it's incredibly redundant to carry two utility infielders. Janish would never play and does not make sense as a pinch runner. Avery (or David Murphy kind of pickup) would make a lot more sense.

I'm honestly not sure of the status on Avery's injury. Maybe they keep Julio Borbon.

Wright and Wilson are officially in.

Who's reporting this?

Its more than just a single game.

Ryan play 6 regular season games in the OF, 5 in RF and 1 in LF in 2015, and in 2014, he played 1 game.

Thanks; I hadn't seen that

[Bahama O's Fan]

So we will have two long men to start the season, Wilson and Worley. I think that's a good idea.

From the Sun:

Buck Showalter: Every half hour, Orioles intrigued by waiver wire. Can they land someone, or is the roster set

[ChuckS]

I'd put my money on a LF hitting OFer being acquired. Surprised we haven't scooped up Murphy yet. Career .795 OPS versus right handers and .735 last year. I don't see us doing any better than that on the waiver wire.

I bet we have done offered him a contract and he is waiting to see what all his options are first.

The Kim situation may be holding things up as well.

I am 1 for 1 so far

Now it is down to the last spot...Roe, Janish, Avery, mystery bat?

With Wilson in the bullpen, Roe would be the 9th reliever, correct? I am guessing that takes Roe out of the running. I still have Janish.
