Can he pitch?

I really like this move. Sisco is not a sure thing behind the plate and this gives some insurance potentially for a long term answer at C in case Sisco needs to be moved to another position.

Forty man roster now at 40.

Joseph and Susac to begin the year at MLB... Sisco in the minors until June/July?

Susac was a former top 100 prospect after being drafted in 2nd round.  He is a high OBP guy in the minors but has been slowed due to injuries last two years.  If he is healthy he is a decent backup option.

I hope bc he can't hit!

Solid no risk/low reward typical O's move.  Can't complain and can't get excited.

Funny all the beat writers tweeting duquettes comments on the player.  Like there’s some race to have his non insightful comments shared with fans who are irritated by the lack of significant improvement to the roster.

What's funny is Dan was wrong about him. Said he is a switch hitter when he is really a right handed batter.

Said he will compete for the backup spot. Wonder what this means for Sisco and Wynns. The minor league depth is there for the rest of the affiliates. Can't really see one of these three going to Bowie.

I just can't see the Orioles going into the season with 4 catchers on the 40.
