The Hangout has learned that Lou Montanez was pulled for tonight's game with Bowie and is heading to Anaheim for his first taste of big league ball.

Although this is unconfirmed yet by the Orioles, it would seem that this could mean that Adam Jones could be heading to the disabled list.

More when it becomes available.

Well, there goes the whole Bowie pennant race theory.

I'd prefer to see Reimold, but I'm glad to see the organozation is putting the needs of the Big league club ahead of Bowie's pennant race.

Me neither. I'm glad to see what the Montanez can do, but man does it suck losing Jones to the DL. He has gotten to be so fun to watch. What a bummer.

Yes this is true...but what would we do in this situation? What if Montanez comes up and is a stud? What happens to Reimold?

I hate seeing Jones going on the DL.

However, while he's out I hope we see a lot of Montanez and not much of Payton.

Can Lou play CF?

Ironic you would say this reference losing someone involved in the Bedard deal to the DL. Wasn't a guy named bummer the one who hated that deal so much?

I didn't remember that there was someone who hated that deal. But, that would be an appropriate name for such a person...;)

Did they have a roster spot open, or is this expected because Jones is heading to the DL and they will replace Lou with Jones.

If there is a spot open, could he be there for tonights game, or will he get into LAA for tomorrow. Im assuming that he gets here tomorrow since he just got the callup today.

I wanted it to be Reimold, but I dont mind Lou coming up, he was mashing the ball and really deserved it.

There's room for both if we could get rid of Payton. Unfortunately, no one wants him.

I'm extremely skeptical of Lou having long-term ML success. His career Mil OPS is .773. Maybe he finally figured it out this season, but I don't think this is the case. Before this season, Montanez had 3,200 Mil AB's that showed he can't hit. He has hit well in 400 AB this season. I'll put my money on the 3,200 AB that say he can't hit.

I actually Reimold would be more likely to have success if he was called up. His K:BB ratio is much better than Lou's this season, which makes me think he would have less trouble with ML pitching.

Just my 2 cents.

      Clubhouse issues?

      The problem with that last statement is that this indeed is a business. And guys want to get paid and be fairly compensated. They all recognize that they have a short window to make life changing money.

      Are we done?

      I haven’t looked at his innings closely but I could see McDermott being tried as a reliever late in the season.

      McDermott is probably not there to preserve his image as a starter to potential trade partners, and if he is still here on July 31st, I'd expect to see him in our pen shortly. I do still want another solid RP, also preferably a lefty, and Sam Moll would fit the bill perfectly without breaking the bank.

      I agree, with the caveat that Santander is a different animal than Hays and Mullins.  Santander plays every day and is having a career year going into FA.  It’s really the situation that every player wants. Meanwhile, Hays and Mullins are platooning after being every day players, and are having poor seasons.     I am sure Hays thought he had earned the right to play through his rough start, but it always doesn’t work out that way.    The thing I really want to see is what the O’s off-season looks like with Rubenstein’s ownership compared to JA.

      Grade the Hays for Dominguez/Pache trade

      By OriolesUpAndDowns · Posted

      It’s a fair trade.  We needed another late inning reliever and Pache helps with late inning defense.     Pache is an abysmal hitter though so hopefully he doesn’t get too many starts or late at bats.

      Organizational Turmoil?

      By Warehouse · Posted

      It feels like a stretch to me that players being in Norfolk is hurting the vibes on the Major League team.  If those players come up, they will take jobs or playing time from current players.   Obviously, if there is a perception that we’re playing service time games instead of fielding our best players, then that could hurt morale.  However, I’m skeptical that current players are outraged that Mountcastle/O’Hearn/Westburg are playing over Mayo right now in the same way that some fans may be. Goon references veteran players in contract years - I’m pretty sure that’s only Santander and Burnes who are not feeling any competition from young players and both made the all-star team. With regard to long term extensions, it seems a bit silly to say young players want long term extensions but are being blocked by their agents and this is hurting morale. Boras has never inked an extension for a player with less than two years service time like Gunnar or Westy. Adley and his GF are from the Pacific Northwest- maybe they want to eventually be closer to home.  GRod, Cowser, and Kjerstad may be viewed as more risky candidates for an extension by Elias.  It’s not clear to me that Goon’s column represents any actual reporting as opposed to pure speculation.
