Gentry Back - Phase one where Buck gets his man

[weams]

The #Orioles sign Craig Gentry to Minor league deal that will pay him 900K if he makes big league roster w spring training invite.

Now the dominoes start to fall for Tillman and Flash.

Gentry probably starts the year at AAA.   He bats right-handed.

Came to post this.  What a pick up.  In case you missed it, the Steinbrenner's just held a press conference, they are taking the year off to prepare for next years FA class.  0-162 for them.  Just can't top Gentry.

I like Gentry as the defensive ringer injury replacement 5th outfielder that he is. Why not.

Poor man's David Lough. Nice!

He bats right handed, but can be the defensive replacement guy and fit on the roster if they go with 13 position players. 

Mancini, Jones, LH bat, Gentry, Santander, Trumbo. (6)

IF plus utility (5)

catchers (2)

It's possible I suppose. That assumes Hays and Rickard are both at AAA.

JMO but no one is going to out play Hays in right this spring.

I’m fine with this deal.   Gentry’s a good depth piece to have.   

[VaBird1]

He is also a good base runner on a team where nobody else is

Probably good until may at least. I know it can't have been causal, but the Orioles were doing ok last year until Gentry was injured.
