I'm fine with giving Wilkerson a shot, but really wish the team would bring up Garabez Rosa for a cup of coffee. I know Corban Joseph is a nice story because of his tie in with Caleb, and I know both he and Wilkerson have out hit Rosa, but man, in a lost year, why not give a guy a chance as a lifetime achievement award? Maybe this September.

BTW, before anyone gets on me for this, this is purely a sentimental thought. I just like to see those guys who have been in the minors for this long with one team at least get that one at bat in the majors. 

Makes sense. Perfect year to do it.

I keep having this feeling the second the big players are dealt the bigger prospects come up together.

Beckham is suppose to be back soon. They can’t keep Joseph, Wilkerson and Peterson on the same roster. Really only room for 1. Maybe just a quick visit for him. 

Gotta think Peterson would be DFA material at that point right

I'm all for Rosa getting a chance too. I'm guessing we might see him and Yaz in September though.

For those who wonder how Wilkerson fits in with the team:

Switch hitter who can play a majority of the positions while also bringing some speed (running wise, unless he still has something from last year...)

When Beckham gets back, Peterson might be the one to go as Wilkerson fits in the spot Peterson currently holds.

That or Wilkerson gets sent right back down. 

I assume for now they keep Valencia to trade him later. Could keep Peterson because he can play OF. The Joseph brothers playing together could be a quick reunion. 

[eddie83]

They aren’t going to sit Davis forever. I don’t see where Corban Joseph fits once Chris is back.  

Bench could be

Valencia 

Peterson 

Gentry/Rickard

Backup C

Beckham starts at 3rd.

We can only hope. Peterson is a classic guy that looks the part, but just isn't really good enough to be a major leaguer.

I'd say Joseph or Peterson get DFA'd next.

Maybe two days.

Not Caleb this time. Corban has no place on this team or in the MLB. Was just a fun thing.

Joseph has an option I think. 

Knowing the Orioles they will try to keep Peterson around. He is hitting leadoff tonight.

Yes, it is still June and they are making moves for the novelty value.

Won't they need a spot on the 40 for Tim?

And Corban is an easy remove from the 40 man roster when we make some trades.

One of those two will be gone. GONE!
