Outlier buoyed by defensive metrics.

He had an 84 OPS+ in 2011

Defensive WAR, What is it good for...

On the bright side he'd probably end up playing third when Hardy gets hurt.

No, if Hardy gets hurt, then Flash will play 3rd and they will bring up a AAA for the bench.

Is that the first one of those in 2017?

Makes it seem real!   Just a week until spring training.

I wonder if he and Adam will be putting birds on things.

I guess that 2009 year was just so awful with all the guys in and out of the lineup playing SS, it left a bad taste in my mouth.

You're thinking of 2008.    In 2009, we only used two shortstops all year - Cesar Izturis and Andino.   In '08, we used five (six if you count Eider Torres, who started twice).

His best season by far.

The year Mark Reynolds hit 37 HR and J.J. Hardy hit 30.

Andino has a $0 dollar contract??? Sweet. Sometimes the O's look like a recycling plant.

It would be cheaper, but now that I read the thread, I'm happy to see him in Norfolk

Thanks for the correction, I guess my mind isn't what it used to be.

I do remember lots of SS, after Cal and before Hardy.

Didn't Andino also play a little OF for us as well the first time around. Could they be thinking RH hitting OFer here too?

Andino only started two games in the OF for the Orioles, and only three in his major league career. He's not an outfield option.

We can't keep moving forward if we don't forget the past.

The Andino ship has already sailed .. make that SUNK.

Hey, all you guys in the minors, we are SERIOUS about winning now.. meet Robert!

 

Yea, I think it's a dumb move. So sue me.

Shudder, shudder, shudder. I hate when you guys post details of those nightmare years.

You don't think Andino helps the Norfolk Tides' chances of winning?
