I haven't been around much since the redesign. No embedding of tweets anymore?

 

I like the move as he was once a top prospect and only 27, although he is not a catcher anymore. And he has the 50 game PED suspension.

How does that suspension work?  Does he have to sit out for 50 Tides games before he can come up?  Can he work out in extended ST during that time?

check out his ice cream sandwich story.

I wish he could still catch.  Ohka and Montero would be an outstanding battery.

Another quintessential DDDD signing.

I was always intrigued with that bat. This is shades of Delmon Young.

I also throw coins into wishing wells...looks like me and Duquette have something in common.

Delmon could hit major league pitching.

He is now an Oriole. PED's are all good as long as they are on your team.

And Bigbie, and Gibbons and Grimsley and Palmeiro and 80% of the players in the 90's and 00's.  lol.  

I don't mind this signing.  Career .770 OPS vs LHP in the MLB.

Wasn't he a Blue Jay when he got popped?

I'm starting to notice a trend.  

I'm going to play devils advocate and say he was taking the stuff that helps you lose weight and tone up.  Welcome to the O's.

Seems like he's one of those guys that his weight fluctuates a lot.
